Jesus.. stupid shit I said on here years ago always comes back to haunt me.. my guess is he is in the starting stages of undermining that tops in blue forum someone posted a while ago

26 Jul 05'! Damn! That was definitely a while ago. Don't worry, just take after our politicians and deny, sidetrack, and then deny again. Repeat if necessary.

Back on subject--I've been missing Rainman as well. And as of 20 Sep 11', "It's ok now".

Who cares about Rainman, where is Masshole?

Until his return, let's reflect on some of his flight planning wisdom. RE: the Tampa A/O...

I have to disagree with the "open a tab with your credit card" plan.

Always use cash.

The credit card documents your evening itinerary... and eventually it will be used against you.

That's the entry level technique. The discreet gentleman doesn't withdraw from the ATM, he makes purchases with a debit card and gets cash back spread over time so as to not invite unwanted queries from his spouse.

A real man isn't concerned about "inquires from his spouse".

A real man isn't concerned about using his government travel card at the OG either... :-)

Huh? Ummmm, OK...

I can personally attest that this is true. I usually brief this before a TDY along with banning the use of cameras or recording devices of any kind.

Pictures aren't memories, they're evidence.

Legit!!

If that doesn't do it, I don't know what will.

If he doesn't return, he might be dead.

I hated resorting to the nuclear option, but no I didn't.

Agreed, cash is the best option. Because eventually you will have to call USAA in the lobby of your hotel the next morning because your credit card declined due to "suspicious activity" from various establishments the night before...and a fraud alert message may or may not call your house for your wife to hear...not that I've ever heard of this happening.

That damn ATM at the Viking....

That damn ATM at the Viking....

Luckily there is no annual Boat Driving requirement. Only needs to be logged once and you are MR for life.

But seriously...where the hell is Rainman?

Yet I've seen more than a few go back for more...they must just enjoy it.

Isn't BaseOps.net for heterosexuals.....that could be why he's MIA.

Didn't he say posting on BODN wasn't no puss game...or something?

Shame.

Now you guys are getting it, shame him to return. I think he ran off with BQZips Dad.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an outdated platform that cannot be replaced soon enough by the F-35.

The Viper is clearly a much more capable CAS platform, than the Hog...no one can argue that!

...oh and helo pilots are pussies!

I heard him say that he would have been much happier had he gotten a few more key staff positions. He's also pissed he was never a force support or MSG commander.

He also worked less than finance because he was usually out doing formation pt, wearing a reflective belt of course.

In all honesty, he's on sabbatical with PYB in France.
