Unofficial Air Force Recruiting Video
The link doesn't work for me. Can somebody post the title, so I can search the site?

Anwar Al-Awlaki Killed
Like I tried to say before, I'm not too concerned about this situation. The guy video taped his ideas and plans. It was obvious what side he was on, and that he was committing treason. I don't have a problem that he was blown up. I do have some concerns over the procedures used, and how they will set the pseudo-precedence for less clear-cut situations in the future. Obviously, I don't sit on the NSC, so there is a lot of information and procedural stuff I don't see. I have to go off what I can read in the media, which is far less than perfect.

Anwar Al-Awlaki Killed
I disagree. I think this case presents some serious questions. When does one forfeit their 5th Amendment rights? The right not to be deprived of life without due process is a pretty serious one. Am I sad to see Awlaki offed? Hell no. I am concerned about the precedent though.

Glasses vs contacts at UPT
If you wind up wearing glasses in UPT, I recommend actually flying with the giant issued ones. Those big lenses let you look around more (helpful in form).

XL 12-06 track T-38: 7 T-1: 17 T-44: 3 UH-1: 1 (One of those T-1s might be a -38. I couldn't hear the announcer very well.)

Anniversary of Nuclear Warfare
You can't put the genie back in the bottle! Dropping the bombs saved a lot of Americans (and probably Japanese).

Should Drinking Age for Military Personnel Be Lowered to 18?
Which case do you base that on, or are you using the 14th Amendment as the basis of the Constitutionality of such an order?

C-17 Down on Elmendorf
CNN picked it up. Not much information, but it doesn't look good. I sure hope I'm wrong about that last bit. Hopes and prayers.

Flashlight Advice
Lots of good suggestions. I have a Surefire G2 (polymer version). I like it, although it can eat 123 batteries (incandescent). Definitely one of the brightest, smaller flashlights that can be had for $30. I also have one of those little INOVA LED keychain lights (when I don't want to light up an entire room).

CSAR-X
Well, the Osprey did fry the grass where I've seen it land. So, "true." CSAR guys, do you want/need something as large an MH-47?

**NSFW** ROTC Cadets and Forums
No. The younger crowd needs to learn, so why not educate us before we F up something important as LTs?
