USAA
I recently bought a house and got a quote for our homeowners insurance and it was $2000 more a year compared to other companies like AllState and Farmers Insurance. We ended up going with AllState because we bundled our homeowners, vehicle, boat and some life insurance and it came out to almost 1/2 of what USAA was charging. So, now all we have with USAA is our checking account, credit card and investments and have taken our business elsewhere with everything else.

Pre-Separation Physical
They included my pre-separation physical with my annual PHA. Just make sure you have the docs document any problems you think you may have so that when it comes to the VA, it is all in your records.

Low flying F-15
I grew up in Western Iowa directly below a MOA and my parents house was used as a turn point on a low-level route and I remember growing up watching and listening to planes fly by. I distinctly remember a Buff flying over our house so low I could see the pilots waiving down at me or seeing F-4's and F-16's flying along the river at the bottom of the hill where my house was. Those were the days that pushed me to really wanting to fly and eventually be a military pilot. So, yes, there are many ignorant people in Iowa but most are bleed red, white and blue and love the low flyovers and airshows.

Low flying F-15
https://www.kcci.com/news/central-iowa/Pilot-on-no-fly-status-after-incident-over-suburbs/-/9357080/17658884/-/13g9drcz/-/index.html "The pilot was headed from Jacksonville to Sioux City so his jet could get painted." "The Guard is now investigating and the pilot was sent back to Jacksonville, Fla., on a commercial flight." How else would he have flown home unless he was there to pick up a jet also?

"No Easy Day" - Book revealing details about Bin Laden Raid (Neptune Spear)
Got this on my .mil account today. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "On 04 September 2012 the Assistant Secretary Defense for Public Affairs noted that the Department believes the recently published book “No Easy Day” contains classified and sensitive unclassified information.

Check ride buffoonery
So, b/c of money and time we should pass everybody? That sounds like a great idea! Hell, why even have Phase 3? UPT should be shortened to 6 months and everybody should get their wings after T-6's. Imagine how much money and time will be saved with that concept!

Whats the funniest thing you've heard over the radio?
While flying west of Eielson last summer... "Anchorage Approach, XXXX 69 level at 10,000 ft with a question" "XXXX 69, go ahead with your question" "Anchorage Approach, which mountain is Mt. McKinley?" "XXXX 69, it is the tallest mountain in all of North America and it is at your 9 o'clock" Needless to say, we all had our tapes running for future roll calls and we never heard another radio call after that response.

Oxygen masks
Yes, having the microphone inside a mask that is sealed to your face will drown out the planes outside noise. Also yes, the O2 masks seal to our faces and are tested before each flight to make sure there is no leaking and to make sure you have a good seal.
