    things to do and places to live in Port Hueneme and Gulfport

    All that was previously said is true about location. As for Battalions themselves you can't go wrong on either locations so I've been told. Each battalion has their own identity and it changes as often as the people. What is a cool, laid back battalion one year is as moto as can be the...

    Commissioning Loans?

    Off-topic: Well stated. You are wise beyond your rank (I guess that's what the -E is for though). A good Chief is worth his weight in gold.

    Oooopps - Again

    I dunno, you wouldn't have to be faster than the lion, just faster than the guy next to you. The slowest gets killed first, thus increasing the speed of the pack.

    Flying Car passes test flight

    The only real useful application I see would be rural commuting. Take it from garage to local airport, take off, fly to another local, drive it to work, then back. And one thing that no one has mentioned is that parking it in your garage is probably cheaper than renting a spot at a field (which...

    Boys (and girls) with big toys in the dirt (SeaBee Gallery)

    Yeah, I'm trapped in a PW billet. We're not just "dirt sailors", we're also "corporate sailors" too!

    Boys (and girls) with big toys in the dirt (SeaBee Gallery)

    ThisGuy, good stuff. Hope you had a chance to put down the camera and get your hands dirty. How often do you guys get to play around with big stuff? Due to host nation funding/contracts and a shortage of manpower, we're pretty much limited to small projects (generator sheds and the like).

    ooh-rah SeaBees!! That's good stuff. I was surprised seeing a post on us "dirt sailors" on AW. Made my day.

    Passenger Lands Plane

    Except for the pilot... Granted he got to die doing something we can presume he loved. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. In my dream the pilot wakes up after we land.

    Bird Strikes/Visor Protection Help Needed

    Rep for bringing up Henry Rollins. "It's like he's stabbing me with a tiny little knife." I like his idea of being able to sue for time. (Paraphrase)Your in a horrible accident and lose a leg and it's some other guys fault. In litigation what would you rather have? A...

    88 Pathfinder

    Lifes short. Save yourself some hassle and have some fun. Sell it and buy the AR-15. You live in Pensacola for crying out loud, you can get away with two-wheels year round. (of course car seats are hard to attach, but I'm guessing you've got a family driver...) Of course, with this...

    88 Pathfinder

    Sounds like a transmission problem. If the engine is idling fine, and you can rev it in neutral with no problems, it's most likely a breakdown with how that power is getting to the wheels, i.e. the transmission. Assumig it's and automatic (you said "Drive" and not "1st"), does it bog down as...

    F-35B arrives at Pax

    Thats awesome. We'll actually be getting ready to break ground soon on the first batch of operational (non-training) facilities/hangars capable of housing the -35. We're even setting for the UFC standard for the hangar design. And who says Facilities Management/Planning is a boring job?

    Marine Humour

    A Marine is walking down a road and sees a young boy playing with a small pile of dog shit. He asks the kid what he's doing and he replies "Sir, I'm making a Sailor." The Marine chuckles a bit, and in an effort to get him to leave the dog turd alone, he says "Son, why don't you make a Marine?"...

    yuk-yuk :) A few years ago my friend had an argument with his wife about his drinking. After that, he started walking 10 miles a day. Saved his marriage. Last I heard he was spotted somewhere near Albuquerque.

    The Naples incident/how to ruin your career before it's started/make others suffer

    My favorite board game growing up was Risk. My dad had an old-as-balls version where the pieces were just painted blocks of wood. It's probably from around the Tactics II timeframe (1959 according to Wiki). It was awesome, our games used to last for weeks. As I got older I eventually...

    The Naples incident/how to ruin your career before it's started/make others suffer

    Well, if the Puma's portable then I guess it stands to reason that everything in it is also. Maybe I've been excessively harsh on Apple all these years.

    All-weather coats for morning inspections?

    I was actually looking for this answer a few nights ago for standing shore patrol. I wanted to wear my all weather, but couldn't find my khaki combo. All the regs mention is that the All-weather coat is approved durring appropriate weather conditions (which is kind of ironic, since it's an...

    Disney's Armed Forces Salute

    Why do I get the feeling that Tokyo Disney doesn't offer the same discounts? I think there used to be a deal with the New Sanno Hotel where you could get a small discount at the gate, but... dirt cheap/free tickets... looks like I miss out.

    I KNEW this crap was going to happen.

    They didn't crash you into the water maliciously. They could have crashed you into a mountain, a skyscraper, the ground, etc. Your life is your reward. An interesting thought; this would be a moot point if they had all died. We wouldn't have to listen to them whine about not being...

    Moving Etiquette

    While I also feel like an ass watching someone else move my shit, I was told that jumping in to help was a BIG risk. If/when something breaks, it's that much easier for them to claim that it was your fault, because your not a "professional" mover. This was also relayed to me by a mover who...

    55% chance U.S. disintegrates, sez Russian academic

    Alaska would go to the Russians?! I don't know about that. With murmurs of cecession always coming from Alaskans, I don't think they would get in bed with another distant government. They would just become the sovereign country of Alaska. I mean, why would they want to be Russian, when they...

    December 7th traditions?

    Apparently the conference room in the building I work in here in Iwakuni is where Admiral Yamamoto gave the command to attack. It is also speculated that it was mostly planned here also. It's a little bit surreal to think that I'm holding meetings in a room where Pearl Harbor was planned and...

    Bringing a motorcycle to Japan

    Bought it a few years before I found out I was moving here. Was originally going to store it or sell it, but was told by several people that 250cc bikes and below are easy to bring due to relaxed registration/inspection laws. HA! Update: Turns out it really isn't that difficult. Biggest...

    Bringing a motorcycle to Japan

    Yamaha Virago 250. They recently rebadged it as the VStar 250 though. It's like a slightly more badass looking Honda Rebel only with a v-twin and single-pin crankshaft for that old school "unbalanced" sound (which also helps give it some extra torque for a 250). It's a 250cc bike cleverly...

    Peanut allergy on flight physical

    I think giving kids too much of it when their really little creates the allergy or something. I remember reading something about that in some "congrats your a dad" book, but I don't recall specifics. I blame JIF for making PB&J such an easy choice for lazy parents.

    Bringing a motorcycle to Japan

    yeah... it's 249cc. It still looks cool, sounds cool, cost 1/8 of a Harley, and gets 90 MPG. Also, I think you mean Ganesh (sp?). Definitely good shit. The Chicken Shack is good stuff even though it is a bit of a drive.

    Bringing a motorcycle to Japan

    Just a quick (not really) question for those who have been to Japan/OCONUS before. My motorcycle finally showed up, about a 1.5 months late (and no customs form to boot) and now I'm trying to get it registered. There's some good gouge online (yes I did a search, so skip showing me the first...

    first motorcycle

    When it comes to 250s, specifically the Yamaha Virago 250 (I own one myself). It's just fine on power, able to pull away from traffic issues just fine, takes the superhighways ok too, but don't recommend it for very long hops as it is an air cooled bike. So engine size is near perfect for the...

    NPQ from SNA - What to do now?

    Agree on sticking it out to the bitter end. If you fight for your wings, others will help you fight to the same degree. And if/when the hammer does fall, they'll help push through a good redes package. Coincidently I feel I should make a plug for the CEC community. If you have an...

    That would be cool. All we'd have to do is end the seasons one week early. And make a third league only for the winners. And what if they both have the same players? Methinks its easier to just base the All-AirWarriors-Fantasy-Undisputed-Champ (AAW-FUC) on total fantasy points at the end of...
