Stolen Valor Question
Seems legit. Was he also wearing desert boots with his service dress?

Ed Rush - Fighter Pilot Program
This sounds like the $100 seminar you go to with 10,000 other people, about how to become a millionaire...where you learn that the secret is to develop a product/service that costs $100, and sell it to 10,000 people.

Last Beer You Drank and Rate It
Shiner is solid. Also, the KLTS Class 6 has been selling 6 packs for $5.99 for the past 2 months. So it's pretty much 90% of the beer I drink these days. 7/10 by itself, but 8/10 due to the fact that I haven't gotten tired of it like I do with a lot of the other stuff.

AFI 36-2903 and dress/uniform regs and issues
Good job. By this time tomorrow, the Shoebot 9000 (which scours the internet for trending topics related to 2903, Jointness, Net-centric...ness, etc.) will have flagged it as an awesome idea, worthy of being the first bullet of somebody's Bronze Star 1206.

Marine Corps Raptors?
Also, it just looks about 20% cooler than the Harrier. That thing never won any beauty contests.

or 160 B-2's. At 1 billion a pop.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
A few years ago the Peterson AFB Honor Guard had a girl who was clearly overweight. Like 40 lbs or more. She may have been pregnant. Maybe. But I kind of doubt it. WTF is up with Honor Guard commanders approving the acceptance/retention of someone like that, especially for such a hi-vis position?

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
A gunship from the -38 drop? Huh.

Marine Corps Raptors?
Kill aliens, duh.

Which Aircraft At Which Base?
The closest I could find was this presentation from June, which indicates Preds currently at Fargo, with Preds and Global Hawks planned for Grand Forks. It doesn't break it down by AD/ANG/USAFR

Deployment Gear
Depending on where you're going, you should be able to get what you need downrange for a lot cheaper (and of course 10x faster) than buying it online and having it shipped.

Operating IMC in a MOA
At DLF the only time I remember the issue coming up was when we had Magoos (area solos) assigned to areas with the potential for IMC. They simply told us to stay VMC, but that sounds more like the SOF trying to spare some kid an episode of spacial-D when there is nobody there to help him. Just speculating, since I don't remember there being a policy one way or the other.

Possible Iranian state-sponsored attack plot thwarted
Won't happen. People who live in nice places are 20% happier overall, and don't get their panties in a wad and go to war over dumb stuff.

Home Brewing Beer
That's awesome. I did some homebrewing when I was in Colorado. I used a pair of the Mr. Beer setups, and overall it cost about the same to make a batch as it would cost to buy the same amount of premium beer from the Class 6. It was lots of fun, and after 10 batches, I've only had one of them go bad along the way.

Now that you mention it, I remember the 420 from the Chili's in KATL. It was decent.

The Mothership is pretty good, but my favorite New Belgium is Trippel. It reminds me of banana bread a little bit...not sure why. But for now I'm on the obligatory annual Sam Adams Octoberfest kick.

Winglets for the C-130 and C-5?
Winglets make a jet 20% cooler.

Last Beer You Drank and Rate It
Sam Adams Boston Ale. Most people have tried the Boston Lager (it's their flagship product, after all), but I only recently started seeing the Boston Ale. It's pretty good, if you're into hoppy ales. 8/10.

Anwar Al-Awlaki Killed
Weird...your kid sister looks a lot like me. Also, ###### that guy. He dedicated his life to inciting wanton violence against innocent people. In 500 years, people will marvel that anybody took the Quran so seriously, in the same way that now we marvel how ancient Egyptians took the Book of the Dead so seriously.
