No worries, dude. Herk sent me exactly what I needed. I appreciate it though.

That's probably beyond what my work ethic would allow in my limited free time; I'll start fidgeting around with the financial functions, though.

Though it was oh so tempting to download every item the interweb had to offer, I wanted a file that at least one person on here has already used and has vetted for. Thanks, Herk. Check your inbox. Yup, I should've said that; I'm running some numbers on home financing.

Does anyone have an Excel version of an amortization schedule? I seem to have misplaced the one I used in my days of collegiate glory. Thanks in advance.

Painfully true.

For those in the process of trying to get a UPT slot, don't forget these words. It's been said on here before, and it's always worth repeating: no one cares about your career and your goals more than you. Especially not people whose sole purpose it is to find a reason NOT to send you to pilot training. Decide how much you want to be a part of military aviation and act accordingly.

I have it, but have yet to read it:

M2, have you shot the P238?

"Old Crow? Why, are we all out of wine coolers?" "I feel like I've got a much better idea of the Air Force mission after finishing SoS." "I'm glad I get sent to ACSC early; I was tired of being in the jet."

Cops raid a marijuana dispensary that's legally allowed to operate, per the state. Officers smash the shop's security camera, ostensibly to hide evidence of the event. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Long-Beach-Police-Pot-Marijuana-Shop-Raid-Arrests-Excessive-Force-Investigation-161366395.html

Enjoy the 4th, gents. A special thanks to everyone that's spending today (read: several months) across the pond.

Looks liks Karl Rove was hired as chief of PR for ACE, NOAA, and the CDC.

NOAA was gracious enough to issue a statement claiming that mermaids don't exist; it was a nice follow up to the CDC telling us that we don't have to worry about zombies. https://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/noaa-issues-statement-denying-existence-mermaids-195027537.html

Does anyone on here have a Luminox?

Be prepared to stay at Wright-Pat for at least a week for additional tests.

Thoughts and prayers, brothers.

MTM makes some good looking watches. Don't have one yet, though. https://specialopswatch.com/

Red wine used to make fabric. Nauseating. https://www.atcrux.com/2012/06/13/red-wine-dress-made-innovative-fabric-looks-lickable/

I stumbled across an interesting analysis of Prometheus on Reddit. Some of what this guy says is a stretch, but it clears up certain parts of the film. Lots of spoilers if you haven't seen the movie yet: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/uswn1/prometheus_everything_explained_and_analysed/

Negative, sir. Skynet only learned at a geometric rate; this is much worse.

Is there a word to describe something that's growing faster than an exponential rate? https://digg.com/news...r_own_decisions

Thanks for the reminder, Brick. I doubt I would've thought about it if you hadn't mentioned it.

Thanks for the fix.

Considering the discussions on the course at the JFSC and the kid getting all bent out of shape about not being allowed to wear the flag, I figured this deserved its own thread. Summary: the SQ had been the Crusaders for 50 years, changed to the Werewolves over concern that pictures of Crusaders wouldn't win hearts and minds, changed back to the Crusaders, then back to the Werewolves. https://usnews.msnbc....back-again?lite

Dude, this "I'm entitled to be employed on my own terms" mentality has got to go.
