[Anyone looked at the Boneyard on Google Maps lately?]

Almost all the Hog wings and landing gear have be repurposed on current aircraft. You can't see it on Googlemaps, but as you drive around the Boneyard (I did last year) you see almost all hogs on wooden platforms because they don't have any landing gear. Boeing is suppose to make new wings to replace the "new" old wings. Hell of an aircraft.

Chip was the master of having disturbing quotes!

[Boss, I quit...]

IRT to the PC-ness and the rest of the minutia we are bombarded with that has nothing to do with learning how to kill people well, here is an excellent quote, albeit describing service academy folks but widely applicable to the warrior ethos in all of the armed forces that seems to be getting sucked out of our souls at a rapid rate.

Midshipmen and cadets remain stronger and more aggressive than their male counterparts at civilian schools. They eagerly play sports such as rugby, boxing, karate, lacrosse, and football. They drive fast cars, usually sports cars. They play hard. They drink hard. They are physical, often abusive among each other. They are not trying to prove their manhood: they are celebrating their masculinity. They are competitive, often vulgar, and tough, and every citizen who may someday send a friend or relative into war should rejoice, because combat is competitive, vulgar, and tough, and they will be leading men in combat.

[Nellis/Vegas info]

There's a bunch of houses south of Aliante which are a lot cheaper in rent but the same security/size, just less flashy/green neighborhoods. The fees to live there are like $15 a month, Aliantes are pretty drastic which digs into the rent as well as the "glamor" of living in the newest part of town.

I'd recommend renting a single home and not going the apartment route. It's a great deal and you can pick up a roomate later.

Nellis is the tacitcal hub of the Air Force man. All the fighters fly here, and the exercises are awesome. Hope you like it!

[Standard Interview Questions]

Dudes,

Just got picked up. This site was a huge element of my success. Review the questions on here, and be a "good dude" in the interview. Respect the crew, and remember that everybody else has done everything they can to give them the best resume possible, so don't be "second" to anyone. Let that show in the interview, be confident, honest, and be the best person they can possibly select.

[Gun Talk]

Dudes,

First off, this is unfathomable. 2d off - I'm already disgusted (not by this forum), in fact I'd say the conduct on this forum is respectable and thoughtful, not like the shit going around on facebook.

I own firearms and will continue too, I have the right. I also have the responsibility to treat the weapons with respect, and not view them as a means to resolve personal vendettas. Further, as a responsible weapons owner I refuse threaten/instigate my political/conversational opponents through firearms, in any way, symbolic or not.

This ###### can kiss my ass, if anyone steps ups and screams we need to get rid of guns, or that this proves we needs guns, they can kiss my ass too. I don't want to hearing anything like "you can take my guns, bullets first".

What we need is intelligent conversation and not open rebellion against our political system. This guy was subliminally endorsed. The next time Sarah Palin says "she has her sights" on someone please going me in telling her to go ###### herself - and that only a dumb ###### would have a map targeting individuals like their Osama Bin Laden.

The thing that makes America great is the peaceful, democratic transition of power. Let's not let ######s like this and his instigators throw that away.
