Translated into english with the help of http://www.translatebritish.com/ it looks like some guy named Lee from London looking to rent your place for a vacation. From the p.s. he wants to come here since the local girls have more teeth than the entire city of London combined:D. EDIT: According...

To avoid this in FL I got the $5 state ID from the DMV, took about 10 minutes to process and all he needed was mil ID, existing DL, and a utility bill/etc for the local address to put on the card. I would imagine TX does the same thing. Definitely made it a lot easier since it is the same...

Got a ref on that? That would probably have saved me $50 every few months:D

I know a SNA down here who is probably going to be attrited from IFS due to severe landing issues. Is SNFO an option for IFS as well or is it only for those in primary already? In AF IFS inability to land could be waived for navs as long as the instructor thought you were OK with the rest of the...

Wouldn't more fuel=more weight=more lbs burned/hour to maintain the same airspeed?

For almost everything there is a corresponding Google Maps application - you should be able to time-average the coordinates here: http://www.geomidpoint.com/

http://www.dossifs.com - basically, the AF was experiencing attrition rates in UPT that led them to believe a lack of standardization among civilian IFS schools was a problem. They also felt some students also had trouble adjusting to the 12 hour a day, standup, other AF stuff of UPT coming...

I haven't seen anyone fail an EP quiz for miscapitalizing a letter down here. Or, as happened to one of the guys down here at the AF-run centralized IFS in Colorado, fail a boldface quiz since the instructor thought he wrote MASTER SWITCH too close together becoming MASTERSWITCH :icon_rage...

Student. Bad form to call onesself a Naval Aviator/Flight Officer/Pilot/Navigator/whatever the latest term is until winged as such.

My roommate is prior-E SNFO with a wife going to grad school in San Diego. Upon commissioning he originally got Pcola BAH, but was able to change to SD BAH even w/PCS orders here under OPNAVINST 7220.12 4.b.2 (page 6 of...

Looking at the Greyhound site gives $117 with 10% mil discount for PNS-JAX this weekend (short route as far as Greyhound goes). Meeting your fiancee in Panama City or similar would save gas too.

With the engineering experience an Air Force officer slot in acquisitions http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/afoffjobs/bl63ax.htm or developmental engineering http://usmilitary.about.com/od/officerjobs/a/62ex.htm might be a better fit (probably no sonar programs for you to work on...

The AF restarted the centralized IFS with mostly retired mil IP's: http://dossifs.com/usaf/incomingstudents.html in Pueblo for all pilot selects; even those with CFI, commercial, etc ratings are required to complete IFS. Navs are still doing local IFS because of limited class capacity but are...

http://www.googleearthpilot.com/ - convert Falconview to google earth

TW6 Course Rules - Google Earth (NFO Contact) Landmarks, etc for Area 1 (from the Whiting folks) with NPA-specific course rules added in Google Earth format.

http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/05/military_emergencyfunding_050608w/ Looks like the Pentagon needed funding for war operations while trying to get an emergency spending bill passed; they decided to borrow it from payroll accounts and with no spending bill the payroll accounts will run out...

If you mean the Air Boss he's still CTW-6.

If you want to go cheaper you can do what a couple people in my class did. Get a $30 laminator at Walmart and then whoever needs stuff laminated can get a package of 20 laminating sheets for around $8. A lot cheaper than whatever Wings is charging now.

Not allowed to do the whiz wheel around the neck anymore... something about the ejection seat I think.

Had a brief for the AF folks here a couple months ago on the eventual conversion. Right now they are looking at moving to a T-6/T-1 syllabus and leaving the Navy to sort out the T-39/45 issues. The higher up AF brass were apparently very adamant about having INFOs/WSOs teaching a good portion of...

While using L-22 to plan a route around the ELGIN MOA's and recording the fuel on the back of the jet log under APPPROACHES, the back of the whiz wheel puts the wind dot in the TILE WIND half of the dial. Maybe they are trying to save money by hiring the NW Florida school system to run the print...

If you apply to C-130 reserve/guard units as a nav, they will guarantee their specific airframe out of pilot/nav school for their direct-to-OTS hires. IIRC the only ejection seat track out of Randolph is B-52s anyway. There was an AF SWSO at Pcola a while ago working on waivers for DQing back...

Yep, nothing like doing the last 4 hour XC and landing back at Eglin by 0730... on a Saturday. If you have to call up the tower to have them wake the ground control guy up so you can taxi, it's probably a bad time to fly:D

From the story on graduation day: ...and 2 years of guaranteed squadron DD duty.

My swimming was initially described as a "train wreck" and ended up rolling me for 2 weeks of swim hold into ave8tors class and doing the mile in 68 mins (only had to do the 1040EZ though). The only people I heard of getting attrited from API for water survival stuff were usually having trouble...

Unless you are Army and stationed in AK, apparently: http://www.usarak.army.mil/policies/PUBS-ACROBAT/USARAK_Policies/CGCOFS%20POLICY%20STATEMENT%2020.pdf

Looks like this requires payment. When turning in the SF1164 forms to the AF, they canceled out the 'normal commuting distance' by taking the mapquest distance from NPA instead of wherever your house happens to be.

bump - still a great place for cheap living (SNFOs can save some gas with the 9-mile round trip to TW-6)

and who then probably got a job teaching at the Eglin Aero Club to this day...

A lot of the AF dudes here that went to Eglin/other far away places for IFS were able to get mileage by submitting a SF1164 to the finance guys. Apparently the normal DD1351-2 wouldn't work without official TAD orders for IFS but the 1164 is intended for reimbursements of any official expense so...

The JAGs get bronze stars for 'conducting inspections': http://www.aetc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123080296

While trying to score some space-A flights on AF AMC birds they always reminded people of the civilian dress code for flights. Is this enforced on chartered routes as well?

Isn't the FAFSA definition of dependent different from the IRS one? I knew a dude in college whose parents refused to support him for various reasons and could not claim him as a dependent on their tax return since they did not provide >50% of his support. He got screwed on financial aid...

I had an aviation safety briefer during API who mentioned that the class A damage criteria used to only be $1 million and that the "or aircraft destroyed" clause was added because of the above situation. He said the change happened because the -57 cost less than a million to replace and the HT's...

Important flight safety principles http://youtube.com/watch?v=TYhrpA0tmBQ 1. Make sure you get TO/LDG data and try to land into the wind if possible 2. Before an emergency ground egress, don't forget PCL-OFF FIREWALL SHUTOFF HANDLE -PULL (about 4:05 into the video)

Hurlburt and Eglin (where the -15s came from) are about 50 miles from NPA.

Initially the 45 is supposed to replace the T-2; AF studs don't fly it down here anyway (AF wings the Mudhen guys right after T-39s and sends them to Moody for IFF instead of doing the ATM flights in the T-2). The most recent brief from the new senior AF liaison down here is that the AF studs...

According to the IRS deductions guide at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p529.pdf says (page 8), military uniforms specifically cannot be deducted unless: Reservist and restricted from wearing uniforms when not on active duty Cost/upkeep of fatigue/utility uniforms can be deducted if you are...

If you stay out in town you are still owed the BOQ cost for the TDY period; the BOQ availability/non-availability stamp should only affect getting reimbursed if you were to stay at a hotel in Pensacola and claim reimbursement for a higher daily rate.

Wouldn't this type of thing cause issues on a security clearance?

Judging by his avatar and nickname, I'd guess somewhere in Wisconsin.
