I still like the look of it, but a year and two months later I am still waiting for my patches ... have e-mailed him several times with no replies ... what a drag!

It shouldn't rule you out as a candidate, lots of people have experimented and are now in the service. You'll keep answering this question over and over during your career and I'd hate to think you'd be comfortable lying about it over and over again. Not only that, but if you were somehow...

Thanks man ... I figured that might be the case.

So, has anyone bought these patches? I was wondering how they compare to the Tipsy Gypsy. Now on month 5 of waiting for the T.G. patches (and no telling how much longer to go) I am beginning to wonder if I'd be happier ordering these and getting them now.

Why do we spend the money to have these guys? Couldn't we cut back a few base cops and buy some extra stuff for our planes? Seriously ... why waste the money to have these guys enforce the 2 mile over the speed limit rules? Is there ever a situation where we need all of these guys, or could...

Medical seems to be a good bet. My wife is just getting into it, but there seem to be no shortage of jobs. Wide range of opportunities too (depending on her educational goals) from <1 year programs to become a Medical Assistant, to a 2 year program to become a Surgical Technician, to a...

That wasn't very helpful ... did you find it on Yahoo or Google? If so, post a link ... Hey guess what? It's on the internet ... just look there. :)

CS6 ... IFF, radar, and TV repair guys. ET's and IC's (do we still have IC's?).

Kimber Ultra CDP .45 China Sport SKS 7.62 Mossberg Model 88 12ga Henry lever action .22 Not a fancy colllection, but it covers all the bases except a good long gun. Had (at times) CCW to carry in VA and GA. Need to pick up FL before I leave. Next two guns ...

Shopping http://www.aafes.com/ Can get uniforms ... not great for actual shopping. Navy Hospital Links http://www.navalhospitaljax.com/links.asp Good links for many Naval Hospitals around the country. Air Force Lodging http://www.afsv.af.mil/LD/ Need a cheap place to stay ... better...

Dude didn't ask about whether he should be getting married ... Air Force: Easy life. No ground job, you just go fly all the time. These guys eat tofu and might blow away in a strong wind. Wimpiest of all services. Marine Corps: Polar opposite of the Air Force. Most sought after job...

Nice ... "... this back seat is fucked up ..." Bet the maintainers were loving it.

Do you have any sockets that have their own circuit breaker (ie. the little red button that pops out, usually on a socket near the sink)? If one of those pops, all of them on the same circuit will go out. Generally wires don't go bad.

If they sent you to ATD or told you you'd be a "striker" then you wouldn't be getting an A school. Sounds like it doesn't work that way for you (I was a surface guy and it was 12 years ago). Sounds like Brett's got a better handle on it than I do, so I'll defer to him.

Got my A School guaranteed on my first trip to MEPS (when I signed up for DEP). Some folks showed up to boot camp without that guarantee expecting to get assigned an A school before they left Great Lakes. Some got one, some didn't. If you've signed the DEP stuff already you might think...

Moved several ...

Did you get Helos? A year and a half ago I selected on Thursday and had to be gone in 8 days. Moved to Corpus with the cat and dog, lived at the Red Roof Inn for a week (with said cat and dog ... sucked), then found a place and signed the lease. For all that, it wasn't that bad. Out of...

Try this thing out for the prospective spouse ... better than breaking out the pay charts as it comes up with a "Civilian Equivalent" pay and includes everything ... http://staynavytools.bol.navy.mil/PCC/?B3=Launch+Calculator

I'd go with the solid gold wings (my wife bought me some). I also like the aircraft models that they sell, but that's me. Something like this is what I mean ... ... although there are many others out there. Maybe a print of the aircraft selected? Saw some that had prints of...

Had two bad flights with AirTran. One into North Carolina where we waited almost two hours for our bags to be unloaded. Never had anyone come and explain why, just kept waiting by the carousel. Other flight was the deal breaker though. Got on the flight and the flight attendent stuck...

Checked for the wife to fly next month, and found that (subject to availability) she could go $10 cheaper than AirTran's advance purchase fare (I refuse to fly AirTran) and book the day before her flight. Looks like a good deal for us if they have availability.

Just wanted to add the phone number ...

Don't know if you'll actually get a paper copy (I don't remember getting one in several years), but you should definately get a PIN for myPay. You'll get your W-2 quicker, plus be able to print your LES whenever you need to.

Just ordered two shirts (plus the free one)

How about a link so that those of us with no banner ads (contributors) can still give the commissions to AirWarriors. Sweet shirt, by the way.

Yes ... the best (?) part of Thailand.

SWEEEET! Love the new look ... thanks for the effort Web.

Well, Jax is up only $44, but Brunswick is up $116 for me (O2E w/dep). Good times. Sorry to hear about you guys in Whidbey.

Time to start using this one when signalling the lineman "starting engine 3"

No reverse thrust, plus a snowy, short runway ... bad day for all. FOX NEWS - Investigators: Reverse Thrusters Didn't Kick In Before Midway Accident

Unconfirmed rumor: Said on the news here that the gear may have collapsed prior to running off the runway. Article says braking condition described as fair to good? Sure looks it ...

Huh? Absolute certainty? Zero chance? You're kidding, right? I sure wish there was zero chance to sneak explosives or weapons by the screeners, but if that were the case then we wouldn't need the FAM program at all, would we?

I figured they might be off ... it's from the same Bureau of Labor website that IllinJoe posted (which claims outrageous pilot salaries as well). Just thought that if one in ten FAs really made that kind of money with a High School education then I'd start steering people in that direction. :)

Out of curiousity, what on earth does a flight attendant do to justify earning more than $91,050 per year? (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos171.htm) Also, from the same website (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos107.htm), median annual earnings of flight attendants were $43,140 in 2002. Just seems...

Very nice video. Glad to hear that ground control was apologetic. Guess they'd have been extra apologetic if you'd lost a wing or flipped it over.

One green square free, then one per hundred rep points, I believe.

It's the Service Dress Blues jacket.

Yeah, well, instead of making 8 pictures to rotate, I'd have to go back and make 24. I thought about doing it, but decided against unless it actually looks like it'll get added to the site. I'm still waiting for someone with considerably better skills to come up with a considerably better logo...

Again relying on Openbah to make this veiwable, I added a few more pics and slightly shortened the refresh rate ...

Don't know how to connect it to the gallery ... Notice we don't have a lot of Marine air pics in the gallery ... will add what I find there, but don't want to steal pics off the internet (Copyright?). So post 'em and I'll add 'em.

Yeah, it was a 30 minute quick job ... any and all platforms could be easily added (I kept the PhotoShop blanks so I just stick in the new pics) I did put an A4 in there for the old men. ;)

Thanks to Openbah for making me a link ... http://openbah.com/images/AW%20Logo%20Animated.gif (watch it for a little bit, there are four images that cycle slowly)

Well, I made one, but it's 153 Kb, so too big to upload in the thread (GIF limit is 100 Kb) and the wrong file type for the gallery (jpeg only). Any way to allow it? Edit: Actually, I keep getting "503: Service not available." I assumed it was too big, but tried a smaller file and got...

Best guess is they counted their "no load" cat shots (notice it is catapult shots, not aircraft launched).

Or maybe "Until Delta is hiring again ..."

Hey BigWorm ... how about some P-3 love?? Seriously, I'd buy some of those shirts if I thought I could wear it under the flight suit without the design showing too much. Idea ... how about a shirt like this ...

New deal ... gotta go to USER CP, then GROUP MEMBERSHIPS, then request to join PILOT. It takes about a day for them to pop up. (I'm not on the mod list for that or I'd just add you).

I checked in at Whiting for Primary on December 19th (2003) and was able to check out on leave 5 minutes later for the Christmas period. I assume they'll hook you up with some info before you head down there.

And Mr Roberts had the right attitude while Swofford was a chode.

I thought the guy (Swofford) came off like a whiney litlle b!tch. Come on, cry me a river dude. Never read the book, so I'm just going off the movie, but I felt like all he did was complain about how everyone did him wrong.
