Something tells me that they aren't being treated like "summer camp members." Riddle me this... if getting the one benefit of having a $750k soccer field in any way, shape or form provides something necessary to help save one American life somewhere... is it worth it? Do you think that maybe...

Perhaps there is a bigger picture that we are not seeing? Maybe this is part of some sort plan to help get the prisoners to open up and give up info? Who knows? But in reality, $750k isn't that much money, and it isn't the difference in anyone getting any flying time and/or people getting...

Ahhh old Showtime 100... who is up for a white board?

I'm not going to cry over it... the mission is something that we have the capacity in the active squadrons to fill. And, it'd be nice to do some counter-narc stuff, anyway.

Ha... with all the trouble they're having? And I wouldn't be surprised to find out they're working on a LOAL capability like the Python 5... for use in the F-22 too.

Well, it's better than your other post.

Where do I turn in my wings? How can we compete?

<SIGH> Comment fail.

1100 jumps and counting, I'll never say "this is my last skydive." It's really not that dangerous. Like all things aviation is it engineered, has procedures and is unforgiving of stupidity and bad luck.

This is from a video called "Good Stuff" which features lots of stunts like this. Greg Gasson is a well respected and very experienced stunt skydiver, one of the best in the world. If you watch closely (hard on this quality video) you can notice he is wearing a harness under his clothes and...

Which would come with a whole new line of supply... as opposed to being able to just take what Cobra/Hornet guys use...

Good attitude. If you showed up at my squadron with that attitude, JOPA would take a giant shit on you. Just DOR and save us all the trouble.

This sort of thought leads me to wonder when there will ever be an amphibious operation important enough to require taccair but not important enough to allocate a carrier or land based forces to. Just how many JSFs are they planning on putting onto an LHA/LHD? And if they are thinking of land...

A lot of upward mobility in the SWO world this past year.

Return on investment.

And I do know, FOR A FACT, that one of them is legally retarded. I'm talking, eating lead paint chips while huffing glue type retarded.

Don't sweat it... I was the same way. I'd recommend seeing the dentist before you go though... we had a hand full of people who ended up getting some serious dental work done, and OCS isn't the place for that.

Sounds like thin ice... do you remember allllll of that non-disclosure statement you signed?

Does it really matter where they come from? As long as they come to get me before I get my head cut off on Al Jazeera, I really don't care.

If you're thinking in those terms... I'd say they have the CV-22. I'll throw in my support for having a single helo airframe.

Good thing we have such a large surplus of Hornets.

1. They'll have more than the shown division going against anything double digit. We don't fight alone. 2. If you can engage BVR, all the time, then why not stick w/ Super Slows? What happens when we aren't able to solve PID and need to go for a VID?

Not going for the quad-rail?

Soooo can we just buy the freakin' thing already? Something is better than nothing at this point.

All weather aircraft... fair weather props. Bit me in the arse recently.

6th Fleet should at least have LCC-20... right? I mean, that's their flagship??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Mount_Whitney_%28LCC-20%29

Does this mean my NMCI will work? Or... will I now be able to pay my bills online without having to wait until 0300 for bandwidth on the boat???

Tomcat carrying a HAWK? Nice...

Try sitting in the back of a hummer when you get a screaming power call.

A 500# bomb filled with concrete would probably stand a good chance of taking down a mud hut or vaporizing a vehicle. Just the pure energy on that thing coming down is pretty substantial...

Funny... they showed this video in the safety stand down yesterday...

More like sensible. But I do enjoy your rants... so... continue...

Do the wives clubs ever surf this forum? I, for one, welcome our female overlords... And as a single guy... the past few years, I've volunteered to take Christmas Eve and Christmas duty. It is an easy few days with nothing going on and it means I can party on new years... besides, look out...

Do you really need it? If you can save it, it'll pay more in the future when you can give it to someone else...

I hate being legal officer...

Crap... I haven't bought ammo in a long time... but I remember when it was sub $100 for a thousand rounds. This is really depressing. Maybe being stationed in Kalifornia is saving me money.

They also don't give any intel.

Probably cheaper to tie it up in litigation forever than to pay it.

I was thinking the same, if that is the case. Reminds me of the guys that DOR when selected for E-2s out of p'cola.

I'd say learn how to drink heavily and be able to go to PT early the next morning. That will help when you get weekend liberty. Other than that, if you're in shape and know the big 3, you are doing OK. Enjoy your time off before you head out there.

Dude, unless you have a but ton of hours and ratings... it really won't help you all that much.

BOOYAH! I'm famous. I've been in one of HJ's photos!

Sweet pics. My roommate is over in 'Stan w/ NMCB-5. Always a good group of guys to hang out w/.

There is an aviation component too.

Outstanding. Let's go to Va. Beach and work on community relations. I see a cab in my future.

Can I make a reservation for Friday? I get kicked out of the Navy Lodge that morning.

LOL. I think you got that one because I couldn't stop laughing after we got pulled over. My bad. Rep for the old (5 years?) memories.

It's not a bad gig; and it's tailhook.

Or 3p? 2p requires an upgrade!

Or a pretty close copy of an IAI Lavi???? Maybe with a little help???
