    Why are you Leaving?

    Leaving because despite the capability to rescue someone and semi regular practice of doing so at 10,000 feet, the Navy doesn't value this skill set. I guess it make sense because helos are clearly meant for other purposes like delivering hellfires and APKWS.

    So then I guess the effore to find a Tacaid outside work is futile? Crap. I think I will make an effort to change that. For the children.....

    Funny cartoon here...

    I think that it sucks the way IPs in primary and for that matter advanced SH*T all over studs every single day. Yeah ok don't suck. But for christ's sake it's hard enough for studs to get through the program WITHOUT the BS that comes courtesy of the IPs in the squadron. My .00002.

    custom flight bag?

    Words may not be able to describe. I can only guess there's nothing better to do in Meridian than design your very own nav bag. ya. hoo. I would say enjoy your time off and cross the pubs bridge when you get to it.

    Blackhawk Driver Gone Bad?

    There's no way I am aware of to tell exatcly what is going on there but if I HAD to guess I would say it looks like a prime scenario for vortex ring state. Now, it looks a lot likethat developed as a result of a low level auto. Weather he is showing off or that's a no shitter.... can't say. My .0002

    Mishap rates and what affects them (thread split)

    For the Aviators in the room, perhaps we all need to evaluate our own practices in the cockpit. I am by no means accusing anyone of anything but it seems as if there have been quite a few mishaps lately of across the spectrum of severity. Obviously there is no room for complacency or stupidity...

    Roger Ball, good and not-so-good questions about the world of "Paddles"

    I guess I'm asking with respect to all of the preperation that goes in to it. Is it a skill that just clicks and becomes automatic?

    Army-Navy 2008

    Has anyone been over to SB and seen the demand for blood for the army leaf drop stunt? They are calling it "Fraud" to use government vehicles and outraged over the cost of the paper. The cost of the paper!? Are you serious!?

    The Doghouse....we've all been there

    Sorry. This guy dosen't fold like a lawn chair. Whatever the implications of that are.... I think I'll hang on to my dignity instead of gift wrapping my balls and handing them to someone else. You wouldn't do in prison so why would you of your own free will?

    Help with BOLTC--now known as DIVOLC

    a few recommendations: 1. Take a hike. The blackwater Forrest has a lot pretty country as well as Ft. Pickens out on the key. 2. Keep working your stash job or find a better one. There are some neat opportunities out there if you look around (IE the Blues take people routinely).

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    Cecil got closed back in the early 90s if my memory serves me correctly. Since then the state and city governments put incentive packages together but then Mayor Peyton renigged on his part of the bargain. That pretty much killed the deal. Govoner Bush was not excited but that was the way it...

    The Great Flight Jacket Thread (wearing/buying Leather, NOMEX, WEP jackets/patches)

    I would go so far as to buy a polartec vest/jacket IF I could find a new one that fits. I am planning on asking the squadron supply folks but do not at all expect them to get it for me. SO, that leaves shop for myself or bust. The problem is, I cannot find a civillian vendor that has the actual...

    The Great Pirates off the Somali Coast thread

    Concur with all but it seems like an oportunity to build relations with saudis with a quick engagement. Board the boat, kill the bad guys, save the damsel, and establish dominance at sea... all in time for breakfast.

    The Great Pirates off the Somali Coast thread

    Why can't the SEALs just go get it back? I mean I am sure that there is a lot that goes in to an op like that but why not? Seems from my reading that that is what they are designed to do.

    Whiting or Corpus for Primary

    I HATED Corpus. I was there for primary and would do a lot to keep from having to go back to Texas. I didn't like the people, I didn't like the 'Texas Mentality', the beach is DISGUSTING, and the bars are no better than than the ones in Pensacola. For those getting up for primary, do yourself a...
