    F-35B/C Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter)

    What, broken ones? Navy guys do FAC too. Especially when the Deltas don't get off the ground because they're falling apart. O-1 is an O-1... and regarding the general way of doing things... do you prefer "hey, bro, did you get __ done? thanks man" or "what the fuck. get that shit done...

    Navy Golfing

    For what it's worth... Pensacola - Decent shape, great executive course, great scenery on the bay. Decent condition as far as fairways, rough and greens. Corpus - Most miserable excuse for a course ever. Someone hit it earlier; tons of dead grass, no discernible fairway/rough. Meridian - Lil'...

    Dave, Sherby doesn't think the Navy hangs people from yardarms anymore.

    So there's that scene in a A Few Good Men where they argue about whether or not the Navy still hangs people from yardarms... I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen anymore, but I was reading the memoirs of a family friend who was a Sundowner back during Vietnam and he talks about being put in...

    Affixing patches to brown leather flight jacket

    I just got my wings and my name below it. Nothing else. No rank, no USN, nothing. It looks just fine. Except I took it to the tailor I use and she dorked up the placement royally.

    Apple TV, whos got it?

    I went through apple's website and purchased one of the refurbished apple tvs. I think it was like 40 bucks cheaper. Works great. I debated getting a mac mini but just didn't want to spend the additional cash. LaCie makes a similar product as well...

    Just got some patches from Tipsy Gipsy for my leather. Does anyone know the exact regulations on how to affix patches to the brown leather flight jacket? Uniform Regs Ch. 6 says you can either use hook and loop (velcro) or have it sewn on, but should I just sort of eyeball where to place the...

    Biggest shock of getting back into a light aircraft?

    So I'm taking the military competency exam tomorrow so I can score that nifty commercial rating.

Anyone care to share their thoughts on what...

    Exchange Baggers

    For what it's worth, the meat selection at Miramar blew my socks off. And someone mentioned not being able to get the butcher to cut meats/get specific quantities/order specific stuff... that's just downright bull. You should probably say something to the manager about that. Every commissary...

    Does anyone know how the multitudes of workers who serve as baggers at our exchanges can only be payed with tips? Doesn't that violate minimum wage somehow?

    Any Good Credit Cards

    That's pretty close man. The higher limit you have and lower amount you charge, the better it will be for your credit score. Carrying a balance is bad for your score. Plus you have to pay finance charges, which is bad for your wallet. Being delinquent or not paying on time is bad for your...

    Any Good Credit Cards

    I haven't had the same experience. I was lured into Capital One's "No Hassle" card because they offer 2 points for each dollar spent; basically double what most people offer. And you can apparently apply those points to any airline, no blackout date. However, their customer service is a call...

    My white shoes are destroyed.

    Is there anyway to revive a set of white shoes? Mine are getting a bit yellow and no amount of white shoe polish will cover some of the dirt and grime that has built up over the years. Should I just nuke 'em and buy another set? There doesn't appear to be a shoe cobbler in Meridian either...

    The GI Bill website states you can transfer benefits to dependants if you, the member: Has at least 6 years of service in the Armed Forces on the date of election and agrees to serve 4 additional years in the Armed Forces from the date of election. Since most of us have an 8 year...

    Meridian Housing - Comprehensive List
