    Holy shit. Did you know Hugh (the pilot at your location) was the first, and only U-2 pilot to deploy in the two-seater? Please pass on my best and congratulate him on all his success.

    Is "we all" the opposite of "y'all"?
  4. Stomach churning.
  5. "Disgusting" seems a bit much.

    Nice presentation on your wife's folded up electric blanket.

    Fun to shoot with .38 special, but it's a handfull using .357 with the small-ish grip.

    Need an ankle holster recommendation for my new carry gun: Seriously though, hand-me-down from my father in-law, it was his father's before that. Ruger Security Six with only about a dozen rounds down the barrel, six of them mine.

    We still use the suit. It is there to keep you alive in the event of a loss of cabin pressure. The suit is at ambient pressure until cabin alt surpasses ~35,000' (meaning below that, the suit is at whatever alt the cockpit is at). At >~35K, the suit controller restricts/shuts down outflow and the suit "inflates" (keeps suit at 35K while you get the jet in a descent). Before CARE we flew around at 27-29,000' cabin alt. Make sense? Edit: BTW, there's a face seal in the helmet that allows you to breath 100% O2 at the physiological equivalent of 2000'.

    Sorry, but WTF is a "valid exception to policy letter" in this case? Who writes it? AFPC? AFRPC? NGB? The 1RS? What policy are we talking about?

    The Eagle? I have no idea.

    I'm not liking your odds, you'd propbably have more luck playing pickup sticks with your butt cheeks...

    Not too old. O-5 Select might be a different story.
  15. I was assuming he had four in a row because he went back into the queue each time he was unable to go. That, or "the randomizer" really thinks he's on the dope.
  16. If you're willing to submit to a thorough examination, couldn't you have a Doc confirm you're not up to any shenanigans and then let you piss by yourself?
  17. Spoo replied to a post in a topic in General Discussion
    That's the thick of it. Don't worry, I'm sure AFPC will unfuck their pilot manning problem soon enough...

    AMS Mail Robot sent out a mass email, reference U-2 pilot opportunities. Just wondering how many folks saw it. Excerpt:

    Just bought the same thing for the wife, with a set of CT grips. Pretty sweet.

    The light's pretty damn awesome, illuminates an entire average size room and blinds very effectively - ops checked that one. Haven't shot it yet, but do you really need a range report on a G19?
  22. Spoo replied to slacker's topic in Squadron Bar
    Ref my previous post.

    And THAT is why I don't trust Canadians.

    Is DH 9 male or female?
