If you do, please have whoever donates include in the memo line that they are not members of AW (if they're not members). I'll transfer all the money that comes in via donation - but the letter to Casey and the boys will be just from AW.

I edited the donation post with a request to include your username in the message to seller box. I also updated the link to include that. If you have already donated and didn't include your username - please PM what your real name/email address is so that I can keep track of who's who in the...

A memorial fund has been established with NFCU in Sam Griffith's name, in order to help out his wife Casey and their two young sons. The paypal donate button above (and below) is tied to one of my many PayPal accounts (hence the email address). I selected this PayPal account because it's an NFCU...

I'll have a PM for you shortly... Went to the memorial service today. Found out that the primary JTAC on his team came under extremely heavy fire the first night of the operation, SWACQ was working the JTARs/watching UAV feeds a little further back while the primary JTAC (a Sgt) was...

I don't think he's talking about the allergies. I think he's talking about the Reactive Airway Disease. I'm with FlyBoyd on this one. If you don't have something, and you're misdiagnosed, why do you have to disclose that you had something that you didn't have?

Nope, that is the N8 from EWTGLANT. The guy in civvies is my current boss, SWACQ is the furthest on the right, and the short gunny is a retired MSgt now. Works for a contractor that supports EWTGLANT today. Drifty - Ralphie and Hawg were both at the wake tonight, were you there? Welcome aboard...

Done. Go up to thread tools, select edit thread and uncheck open.

I don't think he has yet. His registration and post IP originated from Beaufort School District. His confirmation IP originated from an ISP in South Carolina. Methinks he was posting from school, then when he got home from school confirmed his membership.

Someone found this gem online... Ladies and Gentlemen, in 35 seconds - this video captures SWACQ. His love of mustangs, friends, and even more his family. Not to mention his infectious smile. Yup. Tilted one or two back in your honor again tonight. Wish you could have been with me and Retch at...

However, the prosecution is more accustomed to instrument flight... The defense argues that it is unrealistic to approach all published wires on a sectional at the same altitude, as some wires can be at 50ft or less AGL, and some can be 1000ft AGL or more. What he said.

And as a defense attorney, I would point out that while towers are marked with altitude on sectionals - power lines are not. Sometimes, the powerlines you see on a sectional are below the tops of trees, sometimes they are high tension lines. There is NO DIFFERENCE on how it's marked on the...

I disagree. Mainly because I'm a rotorhead, not a tacair guy. Those altitudes are not unusual for RW, and the 3710.7U says "shall" fly at 3000 ft, conditions permitting. But it also says "wildfowl". I may be sea lawyering here, but try flying on the east coast and avoid the Wildlife Refuges...

For those that are in the area and know him, a wake is scheduled for 6-10 PM on Sunday at the Crowne Plaza on Bonney Road in VA Beach. Everyone is invited - His sister said it's going to be a celebration, and to bring photos and stories. Memorial service is scheduled for Monday at 11 AM at the...

This is seriously a punch in the gut for me. I apologize if it appears as though I'm drunk posting, because I am. Wasn't planning on drinking tonight, but shit happens. SWACQ was still on active duty when I went through TACP school. He taught me how to be a FAC. I was the Battalion AirO when...

I'm getting tired of burying friends. I don't know of any info yet, but will post it as soon as I do.

I just found out the news about 10 minutes ago, that one of our members has been killed in Afghanistan. Maj Sam "SWACQ" Griffith, of 4th ANGLICO, was killed during an offensive operation in Afghanistan yesterday, and his family was informed last night. Please have his family in your prayers, as...

Starting a new hobby? :D These are the ones I have. Great for just about everything you mentioned, and nice and compact. http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/66874?feat=508825-GN1&attrValue_0=Black

General concept is brew pub on South Palofox, elevated southern cuisine. Aviation themed... We even have a logo...

I'm with you. I loved my time in Pensacola. We want to open our restaurant in Pensacola... I personally think Pensacola is awesome!

Although they are also capable of drunk posting... We just haven't seen it yet. :)

I think he's referring to the NAVADMIN that came out in the last week or two, that clarified... MUCH MORE than just during working hours... From NAVADMIN 366/11: THIS GUIDANCE UPDATES AND REPLACES REF A, PARA 5.A.(1). NWU TYPE I, II AND III WEAR IS AUTHORIZED FOR COMMUTING AND ALL NORMAL...

And there you have it folks. Deep down, in dark places they don't talk about at parties - jet guys wish they could fly helos... :D

Oohrah devil dog.

Almost 4000 of them in the Phrog. Plus, he's an EMS pilot in the civilian world... He's clocking in at close to 10K hours mil + civ. I don't think I've ever seen it turn off in anything other than the sim...

I hate to say it - but NYC is pretty boring now, almost routine. We do fleet week every year, plus we did the PMC support for the USS New York commissioning... First time - "DUDE, I landed on the Wall Street Heliport THEN on Coney Island!" Now - "I wish those amateurs would get out of my way...

I think that was tongue in cheek based on the comments in the article posted...

Best part? Once we cross the Wilson bridge, we HAVE to remain 200 feet and below... :D

And there are no "squadrons" in the Coast Guard. You are a pilot assigned to Air Station X.

Sat, Dec 10th 2011. 1200 local, three CH-46E's launch from NAS Norfolk, VA in order to properly bid farewell to a man who has served the Marine Corps and this country for 29 years. Crossing the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Washington Monument in sight A "holy crap, I can't believe I get paid to...

Which then gets my enginerd/work at Pax brain going... Do they connect with a rod/tube then put in inputs to the FBW system? Or are there servos that move the other control yoke?

I think he was trying to clarify your post - since on the surface it seems as though you were saying there is no classification of service. If you wanted your post to be clearer, you could have put "Officers are honorably discharged, or dismissed. Dismissal is a bad thing - you'll probably in...

I agree with you, although I'm curious... Are there any FBW wide bodies that the control yokes don't move independent of each other? I only ask, because it seems as though if they did move together, it would be something to add to the crew's CRM decision making process... You know, "dude, the...

FUBIJAR

FUBIJAR is the way and the light... FUBIJAR trumps JOPA, all day... Every day... :D

That's a pilot/nfo career timeline for the Navy, not the Marine Corps. While there are some similarities, there are also some significant differences... These two threads are more what you're looking for: http://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/marine-corps-career.30504/...

This.

What KBayDog was referring to, is that when you wing - you're given the option to take a "military competency exam". Pass it, and you get all those certificates - for a lower tuition cost than a degree that is essentially a BS degree mill degree. I'll clue you in on something - if things don't...

WTF does this have to do with anything? Hi, I'm phrogpilot73. I'm white, but look like a salamander.

PSW is currently embarked on USS Shithole, and can't get onto Blackboard for her Command & Staff classes... I email her discussions, then she emails me responses and I post them. But I guarantee that some Airman in FDC is having NO problem using Live Messenger to chit chat with his bitches...

Nor am I. I'm surprised Dakota Meyers didn't get NJP'd, after all he violated orders on his lead up to demonstrating why he clinks when he walks.

First formation in the battalion: LCpl getting awarded a NAM with V, citation sounded like more than what my CO did to get his Bronze Star. Apparently, they put him in for a NC with V, but because he was a LCpl, it got downgraded.

I think the Navy uses red to denote goggle time, and green to denote combat. Red for combat makes more sense to me...

Yet female Marines can carry an umbrella in uniform. WTF is up with that? Didn't we do away with the term "WM" because we're all Marines?

I kinda disagree with this statement. I think the most important thing a military rotorcraft pilot can do, is what ever that 18 year old LCpl with a rifle needs done at the time. Sometimes he needs to be inserted, sometimes he needs CAS, sometimes he needs CASEVAC, and sometimes he needs his...

So much for the HAC being ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the aircraft.

I'll be signing autographs after the precision keg stand demonstration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would you want to be on a demo team anyway? Static display is where it's at baby, no worrying about a pesky 12 hours bottle to flight planning rule!

I guess Arty Batteries, and HQ Elements of the Infantry Battalions are no longer expeditionary...
