It was that way at Keesler before Katrina. A Group CC almost ran someone over who wasn't wearing a belt, so everyone living on base had to wear a reflective belt when they went out at night.

There's a reason they ring cowbells at their football games, it's to get the girls into the stadium.

I don't know, man. I'd have to say that it's close, but I still have to give it up for SEC schools (except Mississippi State).

Close Cowboy, but not quite right. Tuscaloosa is home to the University of Alabama. Auburn is not too far away though. But you nailed it (STS), MUCH TAIL to be had. God I love southern schools...

I think he's lying, probably a pole-smoker...

Good info, 4fans. Any idea what Special Update Program is?

Sounds like a new version of the old AFCC, Air Force Communications Command.

Yep, just let either TRAWING 4 STUCON or your squadron (depending on where you are in the syllabus) plenty of time in advance. They're usually willing to work with you on that. By the way, congrats on getting Corpus, you'll like it here.

Did a search, but no luck. Is it possible to change your home of record? I remember someone told me you could do it once in your career, but at the point I wasn't interested. Anyone know of someone who did it, and what kind of asspain process they went through to get it changed?

I used the ASA books, and I did very well. By the way, here's a GREAT site for practice tests. You can set them up for different ratings. PPL Practice Tests

Muchas gracias BaseOps.net! Also, I think that our prayers have been answered, AETC civilian force shaping... AETC Civilian Force Shaping Maybe his authorization will be taken away, we can only hope...

Yep, asked my wife again, and she concurs with bugmn20. If it was from farther in, it would be darker. http://www.webmd.com/hw/digestive_problems/uf4765.asp

I know this sounds funny, but my wife is a nurse and says that it could be this: anal fissures. Sometimes when you drop a duece, you irritate the wrecked 'em, and that could cause the bleeding. If you really want to ruin a friendship, have someone look at your bunghole and see if there are any anal fissures. I'm not kidding you man, it may cause a lot of stress to go away. And if it is, I wouldn't suggest using a band-aid...

What does "Fred" mean? I've heard it a few times and can't figure it out...

Hydro, for you for telling this guy the TRUTH. Topper, whoever told you about Whiting taking forever needs to update their info. I've been at P-Cola/Whiting for 1 year now, and I'll finish Primary tomorrow. I got here when there were very few IPs and I sat for 2 1/2 months after ground school to start flying. Now once you finish ground school you are thrown into the T-34. I wish I was that lucky! Now there are guys who got here in Jan/Feb and are finishing with me (priority given to the 06 guys because VT-3 can recoup those numbers, us 05 guys are a lost cause). If you're not having fun while flying a C152 that's held together with duct tape and gum, then you don't need to be flying. The T-34 Turboweenie is a lot of fun to fly, so suck it up, get here, and do your best. If you want -38s out of here, you can get them if you don't suck. Bender, your turn...

I don't know about his intakes being closed, but he's trailing white demo smoke...

What's the overall thoughts of Late Rates coming into the flying world? Are they treated like red-headed stepchildren or treated the same? My thinking is as long as you can fly the plane, you'll be ok. Is that a safe assumption?

There were a lot of good places off of Hwy 90 as you're heading out past Lake Amistad towards Comstock. When I was there in 2001 I would just pull of the hwy, unload and go. No one cares, and there are PLENTY of trails out there. Hell, I took my 4Runner out there on many occasions.

HeloDude, how long ago were you at XL? I left in '03, and the donkey show was still going on strong (not that I partook in that sort of entertainment). Heard that after I left, the WG/CC pretty much banned AF personnel from crossing the border because of the kidnappings. Any truth to that?

Another good T-34 gouge site is www.brimble.com. All through Contact, the first PAs, and some RI stuff. It's laid out like the MPTS.
