At least USAF fighter and attack jets come with an ILS!Like the requirement to have DAY/VMC in order to use VNAV......... ?
Thank you @HuggyU2 that's exactly the same platforms I'll be flying and IP in ?Fantastic news, Chuck!
Beale used to have a couple of CAP guys here that were active duty and flew a Cessna 206 or 182.
It was a screamin’ deal. They really enjoyed it.

There are a handful of "of the year" awards from various civic groups and non-mil entities. Off the top of my head, the local Lions Club and I think either the Navy League or AUSN did that- it's mostly an appreciation banquet, a feather in your cap, and networking with military appreciation/retired dudes and dudettes. This sounds like the same kind of thing.This is a thing?
I'm curious if they say "roger" in response to a yes/no question, or if that's an Army-only thing. That one confused the hell out of me for my first few weeks of working with the Army; after that it just became like nails scratching a chalkboard.Oh and adding to my AF cultural education, I attended my first staff meeting with my active duty colleagues and no kidding heard the terms "alibi" and "re-attack" no less than a dozen times in a 45 minute meeting. I literally had to google the terms and the context.
There is a lot of "roger" in AF email and text though - properly used to mean heard and understood.I'm curious if they say "roger" in response to a yes/no question, or if that's an Army-only thing. That one confused the hell out of me for my first few weeks of working with the Army; after that it just became like nails scratching a chalkboard.
(And don't hit reply and say "roger.")
Hoo-ah.(And don't hit reply and say "roger.")
Chuck,
Until the word “ahead” is replaced with “a-cranium” or “headquarters” with “cranium quarters”, I wouldn’t give it too much worry. Just learn the nuances.
But when the “cranium” thing becomes ubiquitous, then kill it quickly... or run away as fast as you can.
In low doses, not a big deal. "Cultural"... like a gazillion Navy/Marine/Nautical-aviation that I could regurgitate here.I've seen guys preflight seeker craniums and refer to boxes on a kneeboard card as containers.
I like the cut of your jib!It's when it becomes excessive.
