That would be great if he was trying to get into composition/AP Gov grad school. However, many of the officers trying to help him here have (obviously) gotten into a commissioning source and have more experience with the mindset/workings of the fleet (more than a "SNA waiting to start at PNS")...

Most military planes with ejection seats (that I know of, anyway) have some type of selector to control if both seats eject on either crew handle pull or if they only eject their own seat. I think there are pictures floating around of a F-14 after a SWO got an orientation ride and accidentally...

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lax-colony20-2009jul20,0,4549617.story The airline industry seems to be following MBs lead at LAX with a $60/month trailer farm. Hopefully it's better for crew rest than the overworked crews in Colgan Air type situations.

Are we speaking Russian and have friends in the Gulag?

Nice low flyby here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1199341/Now-thats-I-fly-past-US-Navy-F18-streaks-past-apartment-block.html (good picture but copyrighted). Apparently they can go lower as long as the FAA waives it.

Agreed that is toolish, but you'll probably appreciate a lack of fighters and SAMs when flying the helos around.

For the airline pilot types, is there an actual upper limit on FAs? It would seem there would be some kind of anthro/physical test to make sure they can lift an injured passenger/not jam the exit when evacuating.

Did they include you guys in the Blues Mondays fun as well?

More T-39 pics Several shots from the T-39 at FLreallyhigh:

From the schedule:

1. Go to your flickr account and click on the "all sizes" button above your image; click on whichever size you want to embed 2. Copy the HTML code in the box at the bottom under " To link to this photo on other websites you can either: 1. Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage:" 3...

Or just quote the deals in $/pound.

Cross out the "or" if you are certain locals :eek:

Never got sick in flight school and superstitiously carry a gallon ziploc bag in my flightsuit - works good for throwing paperwork/etc inside to make a dash to the car during a surprise thunderstorm as well. Had a C-130 low level orientation ride during ROTC and the only people in the back who...

That's what I did but I don't know if BDCPers would be in the system, etc.

To help with the dental backup (for some reason they have all the flight status people going to Corry even though they only have a few dental personnel) try asking them to schedule an appointment at the NATTC clinic for you instead - waited 4 days instead of 1.5 months for a filling.

Probably after a few too many Cubi Dogs, yes.

Some night shots from the way back to NPA:

A few low level and high level shots from the mighty Strike Pig:

To protect my self from someone with a knife, baseball bat, zip-gun, chain, crowbar, throwing star, straight razor, broken bottle, or taser. And to protect myself from other people with guns since they most likely don't care if their guns are illegal (they obviously don't have a problem with...

Definitely would have helped in this case; we should all fix the situation by sending out squadron wide emails reminding people of the Navy regs against driving 600+ miles on a weekday to slaughter endangered birds.

Don't know about NSE specifically but a lot of AF bases have the same policy for pilot/nav students to keep the base numbers looking good. They don't want to have Congress asking why they spent $X mil on new BOQ construction only to have nobody living there. Once occupancy goes over 90-95% most...

They came in on the T-39s (no-cost orders as observers). There is a 7-10 month wait right now for AF guys PCSing to the RTU (RAG) right now; they are required to do a certain number of observer hops each week anyway to slow the decay of knowledges.

Winged stashes who selected B-1s.

Current as of Oct 08. If you create an account on https://www.extranet.nga.mil/ (CAC etc required) you can get all the towers/CHUM within a particular route corridor as a Google Earth file as well. (not publicly postable since much larger + most CHUM is marked LIMDIS).

1 room will be opening up around 20th of February. Rent is still $250+utils (typically close to $350 total/mo, includes HD DVR service, cable internet, trash, electricity, and water/sewer). Contact me at the above email.

Don't forget the people who phone mustered from New Orleans and VA Beach. Stretches the definition of "local area" a little :eek:

Nukes guessing from many of the posts around here.

If you mean the grill tent on the Blue Angels/TW-6 side of the hangar it is still open some days when the weather is good.

You might get "beast slayer" but that would be the result of excessive beer goggles. No fleet experience but I'm pretty sure that you can't really "pass" on a callsign since it's given to you.

Had a few SNAs in my API class who thought they were going to Whiting until about the 5th week of API and then only had a few days to get their stuff packed for Corpus, so it is possible.

Originally the changes were supposed to crack down on cell phones since the base CMC almost got run over by someone talking. The base CO was apparently at the NEX gas station and saw someone talking while fueling and informed them it was unsafe. ENS gets pissed/ continues talking and gets into...

Probably money. Don't know about CEs but many of my electrical engineering classmates were being offered 60-70k out of school. CEC officers with a tour or 2 would be even more marketable since they already have proven leadership/project management experience.

Criminals will probably start using shotguns, muzzleloaders, or reloading.

At VT-10 there was a reg that students could only wear the leather jacket with khakis. Haven't seen any non softwinged SNFOs wearing them around here with any uniform combo.

The primary syllabus has changed now with contacts and all of instruments during primary (what used to be primary INAV, a checkride, what used to be intermediate INAV and another checkride) and VNAV/FORM/T1 for intermediate. At P-grad Navy selects P-3 E-6 or Tailhook, all the P-3 types go to Jax...

Switchblades maybe?

+1 In 2004 AFROTC really hammered alcohol issues; no drinking on orders even if of age (included flight physicals, OAF (summer cruise for AF types), etc) and disenrollment for tickets. Any type of underage alcohol ticket was auto disenrollment by HQ (for 3/C and 4/C the O-6 could waive one...

The new AF PT gear had a lot of similar problems when it first came out with low-bid construction quality, normal size people needing to buy XXXL shorts to fit, etc.

Right now Academy Sports in P-cola has it on sale for $150/kilo (4.86/20 shelf price, rings up at 2.99). Looks like a cheap option for keeping the SKS fed - any good/bad experience with this brand?

When the crew files it as such. Beyond that the services have their own weather mins for different types of airspace, training, etc. as well as SOPs for sub-commands. Googling the names of those 2 publications will give you more than you wanted to know about it.

Make sure you know the big (5?) flight procedures COLD (ATS, LSC, POS, TP, Spin), since remembering them will be harder when you are trying to control the plane as well. Also know boldface, ops limits, etc cold, as well as the discuss items. For EPs that are a discuss item, don't just know the...

This would be partially offset by the BX/commissary - not being charged a 25% sales tax would save more money than not being charged the current 5-8% sales tax.

Do other https websites such as USAA, etc work? I've been having the same issue with Firefox (on Windows though) locking up on any https site like Gmail, USAA, etc. The only thing that seems to help is restarting the browser; it then works fine for another 20 minutes or so.

More HUREVAC traffic at NPA? Beaufort jets on the T-line.

The T-6 automatically displays the appropriate DME when you tune up a VOR/DME or VORTAC frequency (or TACAN paired frequency).
