This nonsense can not be tolerated on AW. Maximum possible negative rep. virtually sent your way. Brett
Probably works well but i know i never had that kinda time. My method was similar however. I'd print out the gouge and cross reference the pubs and pull out the stuff i thought was pertinent to the brief, learn it, and then spend the rest of the evening verbalizing it out loud to myself as i do other tasks, doing the laundry, walking around, showering, etc. I probably looked pretty stupid sitting there talking to myself but if i found gaps in my own brief then i'd go reread that crap. It helps with that whole 'engaging the brain with another task' thing, and would give me a flow that i'd use in the brief. I never got sick in primary so i can't relate but everyone is there to help you get through it. And yeah, wtf is STS? @Bubba, i think they're talking about the spin chair they send you to in primary if you get sick. Again though i never saw the thing for which i'm very thankful. The spin stuff in API though...oh man...the memories....
No more stupid than an Ens and a 2Lt in a parking lot with their arms spread out doing what was called "some sort of half-crazed, coreographed ballet" wlking through form flights. (quote comes from a friend's neighbor)
Yeah, my blood pressure jumped just reading that... I hope I never hear those words, or "technique only" again... ever. Stupid Air Force.
Hey, got to represent... :icon_smil By the way, what the hell is geedunk? Why can't you squids speak English?
Though I'm very anti Air Farceism's, I will continue to use the phrase "double turn" rather than "double pump" just to make sure no one doubts that I do indeed have a pair of testicles. And it's "so-to-speak" for the wonderers, and yes, it's gay.
Geedunk has several meanings: 1. A ship/squadron store (or the ARO) where you can buy snacks, coffee, and whatever you need to live. let's go to the geedunk and get some snacks 2. can also refer to the things that would be sold at such a store. fatty snacks can be referred to as geedunk. so, a snack machine is a geedunk machine. i only have 5 minutes till I walk, i'm just gonna grab something from the geedunk machine
Yeah... we figured we'd just look stupid instead of looking AND sounding stupid. Besides... you don't need sound to simulate a wing flash...
For you, brett. If you're gonna do a hi-yaka wifferdill (points with elbows) you have to bank it up and clear like a big dog or you'll bounce your nugget off the cranium container, so to speak. Technique only. Time to step.
Uh, what the hell? Brett is entitled to his bashing of the AF, as I am entitled to my bashing of the Navy. But seriously, what the hell are you saying?
Not really an AFism, I suppose, but I would have given bonus points if you had managed to work "degrade gracefully" in there . . .
As opposed to degrading in a fit of panic and sweat while a brown stain runs down your flightsuit leg? Brett
When coming back on base on a Sunday evening at Macdill AFB, we got tagged for a "random" inspection. We where in a government sedan, so why they picked us, I have no idea, but when we were asked to get out, they wanted the 393824982374-1 form (the car registration). I just look at the guy for a second, then say, "Uh, I'm Navy, so take what you need from the car, but I have no idea what you just said."
Somehow "gracefully" still never seemed like the right word. For some reason the phrase conjures up images of elephants doing ballet . . .
