  1. At least nobody has gotten offended yet by our history of killing bad people and breaking their stuff.
  2. Just paste the youtube link from the address bar direct in the reply box. ETA: That's how I always do it, but YMMV.
  3. This is Obama's presidency and success or failure will rest squarely on his shoulders. There will not be an asterisk next to his name in the history books saying "it was the Republicans' fault."

    I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS move my own firearms.

    Why is a Chief Pilot doing anything with GTC delinquencies? Not sure what GTC has to do with flying/training. Wouldn't that be a DO, ADO, or especially Flt/CC or RA thing?

    Yes
  7. The real question is waist measurement. That's the true indicator of potential success in the AF.
  8. Perhaps he should get a baseops account.
  9. Nope, wrong lesson. The most valuable instruction contained in this thread is actually the appropriate application of tactical sarcasm.
  10. That's exactly what Sheppard has. They're not very good though. About halfway through the summer when I was there, they got sick of doing all that pesky edging. They sprayed the bases of all the fences and the edges of all the lawns with grass killer. It looked awful, but made their job easier.
  11. Do you mean not knowing the difference between the two or equating the actions of the Israelis to terrorism?

  14. So to paraphrase; the only way for there to be peace is for all of our enemies to surrender. I'm pretty sure that's been said before by others in history.
  15. Looks like the scandal has widened to include Gen Allen. Link

    For our new friend, here's a guide that might help you with tactics and strategy next time you join a new forum. Tschuss. So, back to the topic of this thread?

    I'm having a Tim Martins flashback.

    So, were you offended that Hacker used the word 'capes'? Do you have a reading comprehension issue? This thread has turned into a train wreck. I miss the negative votes button. Edited to add: it is funny to watch you going back to edit each of your posts to make yourself sound a little more intelligent. It's not working.

    We could also use the A-10 to augment local police forces in car chases. Skank sounds exactly like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

    So, now that pot's legal in Colorado, are they having mass briefings at USAFA about it?

    Your assumption that my friend was a pilot was incorrect. I left out the fact that he was a support guy due to the inevitable spears that would be thrown. You don't know me. Since I was both enlisted and officer support prior to becoming a pilot I have a deep understanding and respect for those functions and the people performing them. I also understand the weaknesses inherent in that culture. Leave is an entitlement authorized by congress. It should be used to keep the military member's personal and professional life in balance. How you use it should be determined by you and your boss within the rules congress and your service have set. If your boss doesn't like your plan, he can always say no, but that's between you and him.
  22. Back in the dark part of the plane it's always IMC, regardless of whether the pilots are flying IFR or VFR.
  23. So, a 3.86 GPA. Did you fall short of 4.0 due to spelling issues?
  24. The chart in the AIB shows a change in VV of ~1000 fps per second. That acceleration obviously exceeds gravitational acceleration. Can somebody who's a little smarter than me quickly run the numbers to see what the felt negative G produced by that type of change in VV would be? It's been a few years and I can't remember how.
