Military Cadet Suing Patti LaBelle
Who the f^ck just gets assaulted while standing talking on their phone at the airport? There had to have been something said to provoke this, even if LaBelle just hates white kids. edit: grammers

"No Rank Amongst Lieutenants"
2, you guys called it. The thing that Col space wings above doesn't get is that aviators are paid to have judgement and common sense. How can I possibly not salute other CGOs, roll my sleeves up, get shit faced at the bar, and sing dirty songs and yet still be trusted to go out and perform my mission and bring myself and the jet back safely? Because I can f^cking exercise good judgement and common sense as to what is appropriate and where.

"No Rank Amongst Lieutenants"
Apparently it can't be a tradition if it's not written in an AFI "Ohhh sweet glaaaviinnn, he's right, the ID cards do only say LT! How do we know who is what???!!!"

MD-88 'hard landing' at ATL
That's funny, I just landed at ATL on a Delta MD-88 on Friday. Dude side loaded the gear on landing, pretty sure we had a nice bald spot on the taxi back. Thump thump thump.

M. Obama's plane to aborts landing - controllers fired
Just waiting for the AF times article that tells us "What Really Happened! C-17 crew relives harrowing near miss with first lady in their own words..."

M. Obama's plane to aborts landing - controllers fired
Speaking of bullshit media headlines... First Lady Onboard Plane That Reportedly Just Misses Military Jet Really? Just misses? I love the quote burried in there "The FAA is investigating the incident. The Boeing 737 landed safely after executing the go around. The aircraft were never in any danger." Is it really that big of a deal? Obviously making the first lady's plane go around is not ideal but c'mon, this shit happens every day at multiple US airports. I guess it's sensational news when you've got other stories out there of controllers falling asleep. edit: sprrelling

$100K+ Jobs
Nice, my undergrad is from Eller. I'd like to go back and get an MBA but I think the online joke of a masters is going to have to suffice for now. It's either that or start my own sea plane business in the Caribbean.

$100K+ Jobs
Make sure to put "Online Masters Degree from TUI" on your resume, you'll be guaranteed at least 200k, probably upper management with at least 3 different people right underneath you

Down Goes #4
I like the 12 or 16 team format, any more is just silly. I always thought they could have some sort of NIT equivalent so you could still have more postseason "toliet bowl" games which = more money. I haven't done a lot of searching but I wonder if anyone has done a cost analysis of how much money the BCS currently draws in vs. what a playoff system would bring.

F-15E Down in Libya
I'm not saying I don't believe everything uncle sam tells me, but what are the chances of a dual engine failure at 22k in a strike eagle?

T-6 Down at Laughlin
I think the consensus here is that if Laughlin had a "C'mon Man" TV segment...this would be number one.

Preparing a House for Deployments / Trips
Or be like a certain PIT pad owner and install remote cameras in your house you can view from the internet. This idea combines well with renting rooms out to females.

Ordering Patches (name, morale, fun meter)
Seriously? They had a bunch of tupperware containers under the counter with morale patches when I was there. There was one subdued Texas flag in there. Was it an Asian lady who hardly spoke English? "You want patch cowboy? It take long time, you pay now!" I think it takes them about a week to make one.

Think a "No Homo" patch would go over well these days?
