  1. Went at saw "The Tourist", thought it was gonna be an action/thriller. Big mistake, it was gay, and Angelina Jolie doesn't get naked. Save your money, stay home and watch pornhub.
  2. Wow, did he eat his other three wives?
  3. It was actually a mobile command unit operating on the US side...
  4. That's what she said Gooooooood....Gooooooooooooooooddd
  5. Same old from what I hear...there was talk about demolishing the duplexs but they just don't have enough dorms. If you show up with a roommate ready you have a good chance of getting one. I lived in one, granted it was a piece of shit and you have to put up with the equivalent of a homeowner's association bitching about your grass...but a house is a house. Agreed...I'm not gonna sit here and bitch about leadership there, they've done plenty of good things too, the patch deal and the LOC thing is just one of those quirks that makes you go WTF? Why is that so important?
  6. Not even joking, if you don't cut your grass or water your lawn, wear the wrong patches, or wear your backpack/uniform incorrectly you will likely get an LOC and last I heard your supervisor owes leadership a case of beer.
  7. Stopped by Jeans today (after a healthy outing at Chester's Hamburgers). They had a bunch of morale patches and they'll make just about anything you want. They DID have one subdued Texas flag in stock but you can also get one made for like 5 bucks. I got a T-6 made because that's the only thing you can wear at Laughlin without leadership shitting its pants and handing you an LOC...but I digress. BTW if you want something made that's copyrighted, like a school logo or something, Patches R Us is awesome, they don't give a f^ck. Great customer service too.
  8. Do you know the name of said patch shop? I'm trying to get an A-2 name tag made. Might stop in and see if they have some morale patches.
  9. Sooooo...anyway. Maybe it would be a better idea to try and bribe maintenance or guys in the helmet shop to create something? It seems like there has to be a way to get the ipod to play through the helmet speakers and not pipe into the ics, so you don't accidentally introduce everyone on frequency to a Bieber fest. Like a Y adapter that goes between the plug coming from the helmet and the aircraft plug. I dunno I was a business major. I guess ear buds are always an option We do in the T-6...gets used frequently for all the wrong reasons
  10. Brett Favre's streak in jepordy once again? No problem, God will simply smite the Metrodome. WTF?
  11. Just saw this: Madoff's Son Found Dead in Apparent Suicide Now if only his father would do the same we wouldn't be paying for his lifelong prison sentence.
  12. "He argued that Graf's leadership style was stern, but that it was poorly received by men." Big surprise, she looks like a huge rug muncher with a chip on her shoulder. But who am I to judge, I'm just imagining her replacement... vs.
  13. You probably won't be able to get a Dash1 unless you know somebody who has one sitting around. It's more or less a controlled item and the bookstore won't give it to you until you start phase I. Same thing goes for the IFG. You can Google air force e-pubs and find the 11-248, 11-2T-6, and other T-6 related pubs but a lot of it won't make sense until you start flying. Bottom line is don't stress too much about the gouge and trying to get a leg up ahead of time. Learn your IFS boldface and ops limits and get that out of the way. Once you're done with IFS if you really want to be fast with the checklist, go into the bookstore, grab a condensed checklist off the counter, pull up a T-6 cockpit picture on your computer and run through it. You should have access to UTDs once you start phase 1 so you can hop in and throw all the switches until you get bored. You'll think you can start the plane in 30 seconds and I promise it will still take you 10 minutes on your dollar ride. Just take it easy and be ready to study your ass off at IFS and UPT.
  14. Not even sure about that, T-6s give out their own top stick, best academic award, etc...
  15. Apparently there is something out there called "Movember". Basically growing a mustache in November to help raise awareness about men's health issues like prostate cancer. I had never heard about it but a buddy of mine started growing one and explained it to me, sounded like a good enough reason to grow a stache. If only this could be in March I'm sure they could get a big AF following, grow your stache and raise some money for cancer, sure sounds good. Anyway, point is, the Wing CC here saw it and gave him a ton of shit, even after he explained the Movember deal. I mean really? I know mustaches aren't exactly encouraged year round but if it's neat and in regs do we really need to throw a hissy fit. Yah...for example in the wake of a UCI Laughlin has completely done away with UPT Friday patches, any pen tab/morale patch that's not a picture of your MWS, and anyone caught wearing the wrong patches (i.e. US flag instead of wing patch, Red Bull nametag when it's not Friday, etc) is subject to an LOC. Because you can't perform the mission correctly if you don't have the proper queep approved patches on.
  16. "The Air Warrior Courage Foundation has set up an education fund for Captain Haney's children. For information, please contact Capt. Tyler Ellison at 551-5250 or via e-mail at ellisonTM@hotmail.com."
  17. Dude that's completely not true...if we're talking about the same guy. T-6s he did his own thing but in T-1s he was a part of the flight like anyone else, took epq's, did standups, etc. And he finished only a few weeks before we graduated. It was definitely not a breeze for him.
  18. I had a similar problem though not as extreme. Tweaked my left shoulder on the bench and I found it painful to do any kind of pushup motion. I had some elastic workout bands lying around and I used them to do my own rehab. If you Google "rubber band workout" you'll find plenty of exercises. It really helped even after a couple workouts. I would also try and adjust your pushup form, maybe bring your hands in closer and try to use more of your triceps. Maybe you won't max it but who cares, you're just trying to get the minimum. Bottom line, bring this up to your class CC first. They're scheduling PFTs a few weeks out from graduation now so if someone fails, they'll have time to retake before the deadline. If you don't think you're in danger of failing the run or situps I would see if you can get the test rescheduled and buy yourself a couple weeks. Unless it's affecting your flying (nosing over on the Devil's 2 arrival can be strenuous) I would finish up your mission fam check first before you go see the flight doc. You'll probably be done around drop time anyway.
  19. Just picked up this book from an airport newstand...great read! http://www.anuncagedeagle.com/
  20. Ugh. If I may share the simple yet effective motto of the gone but certainly not forgotten New Mexcio ANG 150th FW TACOS. "We Don't F*CK Around" Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Schwartz....
  21. Most likely. Unless dorms are full as previously mentioned. Word of advice though, don't sign a lease until you're absolutely sure you have permission to live off base. The way I see it you have two options. 1. Get Married 2. Have her sign a lease and you just "crash" there...use you dorm on base as a study (err porn) sanctuary.
  22. These guys rock! I had a custom F-100 model made for my dad. They replicated everything based on photos I provided. Epic quality. You won't regret it.
