That's a bit of a stretch. Deepwater Horizon certainly did not blow up because she was a deep water rig. My admitedly biased, Chevron-sourced understanding is that this is just one instance of a long line of BP negligent f-ups (no, not Transocean) that have screwed things up for everyone else.

To what end?

No. 1) We have one of the higher legal limits out there (ignoring Islamic countries, which often have none). The fact that we are allowed to "have a few" and then drive home has astonished more than one foreigner I've come across in my short life. 2) You can be executed in El Salvador...

What the odds she'll die first?

What's that?

It's a lance. Knights of the air dude!

"I for one, will not stand here while you badmouth the United States of America!" Or: "You fucked up, you trusted us!"

Love the lines of the Voodoo and the Tiger.

Is there a way to watch online that isn't shady?

Was Bligh the true fault there?

What the hell is that?

Great museum.

I no shit forgot how to borrow and do long division until I started studying for the ASTB...

Never; they make me want to choke a baby seal and run that car off the road. I imagine open carry must make an anti-gunner feel some similar reaction? Is the point of this to get the base out and moving, or to send a message to the legislature?

This part makes me laugh.

Do expeditionary Navy squadrons exist already? Or would that have been some kind of restructuring?

This is a USMC thread.

Search BDCP on this website for Navy. Search Blue 21 for Coast Guard. Read until your eyeballs do PRK to themselves. :) Other than that, look through the "Best Threads" and Stickies; almost everything you could want to know has been discussed on this board. Good luck!

Thanks for the clarifications; merely curious. I've certainly taken a couple classes where we were designed to fail, but made out ok in the end; it just wasn't written out for us.

I don't doubt that curved 72% (or even a regular 72%!) is competent (as opposed to "enough to be dangerous" :)), just that I'm fuzzy on the rationale behind a curve in the first place.

Administrative action for it's own sake is rarely useful (or healthy). Seeing that this is a preventative and not a punitive measure (at least some could argue this from a punitive standpoint), it doesn't make one iota of sense. Athletes making dumb choices with guns won't necessarily be...

There must be people that get A's and high B's, but if an engineer only appears to understand only 72% of what he or she is supposed to have been taught, is he (or she) really that useful in comparison to us mere mortals? I understand it's a curve, yes, just the mentality that is odd to me...

Maybe it really would be fair to say that UPT has some OCS (TBS?) -like qualities? Those phrases have nothing to do with the procedure at hand per se, but the mentality behind being a stickler on details has a purpose (even after earning your bars)?

"There's a support group for that. It's called everybody, and we meet at the bar."

Did the braintrust here on AirWarriors ever decide whether the IDF (UNCLASS) could or could not get there and back if they wanted?

Which is harder to see?

Are they just stronger, or do they improve feed or something (for the unwashed)?

If the Millenium Challenge '02 was meant to look like both Iraq and Iran, does that makes it harder to predict with?

This thread is kind of funny; reminds me of that accomplished individual looking to go SPECOPS asking to about "creative ways" to get into OCS in their "old-age", which read to me like "beat the system." Is it just this economy, or is "who you know" always the first thing on people's minds...

That's a qual? DADT much? ;)

So does Crypto/IW or Intel wear these?

I assume it was a joke?

You had show and tell in Jr. high? Or was it the other kind?

Article similar to sticky?

^^^ I like the one of him getting tazed at an A's game. It's like The Big Lebowski all rolled up into one man.

There was another clip on the side there where I'm pretty sure he screamed something about Vietnam.

What is a Typhoon most comparable to? An F-16?

Isn't that what planes are for?

Why is that?

In the civilian world salinated pools are not salt water like open ocean; they just use a different mechanism (rock salt) to chlorinate, which leaves a slight hint of salt in the water (supposed to be easier on the eyes overall). Often referred to as "salt water pools". I assume Otto is...

So what about his comment about the 60 vs. 46/53/22? Is it really such a different way of doing business (the guy is a Marine, yes?)?

Like we do on AirWarriors!!! :) Oh if only it were that simple (see: anorexia?)! Haven't you ever heard of the viscious cycle Otto!?! I remember reading something about obesity in America and the author pointing out that while it was ok for someone in a business-setting to hassle...

After factoring in port, class, etc., how do MIDs know which ships are "good" ships. I assume there must be some kind of gouge on the command climate?

It's because you are from Jersey... ;)

I may be imagining this, but was there yet another version where Macklin believes he'll check in and get his Tomcat the first day?

Do people really do that?

What is a "continuous bomber presence?" F-22s are forward deployed strike craft?

Like what?

That article referred to a second engine. Does that mean a second contractor for the engine (competition drives down costs), or a twin-engine JSF?

Figures. Guess I'll have to go myself, as I'd always planned on... But seriously, I'm gonna wait and see where this is concerned. Personally, it's something I'm willing to support as a tax payer (and to make everyone else pay for as a voter :)).
