    Man, Coronado sure looked different back in 1932. What'd I'd give for some of that land now. Good times.

    I've got a solid .4 of stick time in whatever bird "double nutz" happens to be (RAG bird). Pretty fun doing steeps and landing at around 600? VSI or so at ole' Harold OLF in the Phrog. Do that in a Cobra and you'll be lucky to walk away.

    Just noticed C-17s (weak) got a picture on the moving "list" of aircraft on the website and not a mention anywhere that God's gift to aviation (Cobras), and a Huey are showing up. What the F&%@!

    I probably know who that was. We send Cobras up that way all the time for CCXs. Haven't been myself, but that's probably because Vegas is so enticing.

    As a Cobra pilot, I'm unable to lighten up, and apparently unable to interpret internet forum speak without smilies. I missed the whole breast feeding thread, but in the end, no harm no foul. (Insert simulated smilie here - unable to with ipad tapatalk)

    I was speaking in general terms and they both do the same shit. No need to jump all over me over this, sheesh. I also remember plenty about my logged CR-2 time at NDZ, so thanks for reading a little too much into my comment...sir.

    1970 Marine Helo Recruiting Video

    I don't know. I had a family friend who was a Major in the late 80s/early 90s and in the pictures on his wall he had a full civilian-esque haircut for his uniform photos. He said that was common at the time.

    The regs changed I believe sometime during the 90s. I don't know the exact date as I wasn't in the Corps then, but in the Old Corps, you could grow your hair longer.

    Cobras also; not to mention we'll still be flying all of the above for the next 20+ years (with the exception of Phrogs). Unfortunately for those of us Marines who don't enjoy having some portion of our head shaved to a zero, they have.

    Another helo vs the world thread (moved from helmets)

    Low cost is nice, but unless you're going to be shooting unguided rockets frequently, don't expect to be able to hit much, especially a moving boat. Like you said, APKWS would seem to be a better goal.
  32. FLYMARINES

    Another helo vs the world thread (moved from helmets)

    Interesting. Though unless you're going to be full-time, I would scratch unguided rockets as a desired "item."

    Another helo vs the world thread (moved from helmets)

    A legit question. Also not intending to be snarky: are y'all going to be full-time Gunslingers or just part-time? I'm assuming the latter. Safe assumption?

    Colombian Prostitutes - Good Times or Career Enders?

    Yeah, I've seen the no contact version and it is uber-gay. Might as well not even play. And I've seen a violent Air Force crud game, but it's probably pretty rare.

    That's not always true, even for the Air Force. Though I don't know exactly why I'm defending them.

    Until the federal government takes them away, states currently have the right to do what they want in this regard.

    CCX Planning

    Stayed in Lubbock, TX on a cross country once. Not too bad at all, some nice hotels pretty close to the University. FBO was nothing to write home about, but did the job.
