T-38 Crash Sheppard AFB (Pilots Ejected Safely)
Don't you get the option of getting the seat too (after a certain amount of time)? We've had one in every squadron bar I've been apart of. We have the one from our Sq/CC ejecting in the 13th. It'd be a hell of an office/bar chair. Here's to AFE, and to friend and mentor Alec Littler and all of those that the new seat was years too late.

Mustache March
There are still some great CCs out there. I grew a pretty rediculous stache (Brabus can vouch) and when our OG saw it he looked at me and said "Nice." I felt like I had banged my kindergarten teacher.

Jokes/Fun at UPT
Greatest UPT advice I ever got. "Never pass up the perfect opportunity to shut the f#$k up." I still find myself failing to follow it, and the doofer book is always listening.

RSU comments
Few IPs here (VN) put the 355s in TIMS. We just use it for formal brief humiliation. My favorites: Dude requests something in a busy pattern and controller told recorder to give the guy a DI, CK Student gets stall warning horn in final turn and for formal brief IP writes AKIPIFT (Almost killed IP in final turn).

**NSFW** ROTC Cadets and Forums
2 cents from a ROTC guy (at least for another 65 days) is that you should use this site as a tool to try and get the pilot slot. If you want to be a pilot then you gotta be able to take the gruff when you screw up or say something stupid. Patty was my roommate last year and when he posted that picture about ROTC he got tons of shit for it and he laughed it off. Other than that have fun and don't whore it up. I love the content on this forum and I plan on keeping up with it all the way through UPT and beyond. Thanks guys! Side note: ROTC guy at CU-Boulder, going to Vance, and I just filled out a hurt feelings report, so hey.
