I saw a U-2 below my lead and I climbing during my high alt roll-in flight out of NJK. Pretty neat to see.

To my IFS and thus first on-wing - Merry Christmas to you as well.

I'm reminded this everytime I roll into the groove when I've not had more than a full-stop in several weeks. Also, has anyone here read Kissinger's On China? Thoughts? I was considering picking it up to fill in what little spare time I do have while I'm in the RAG.

After only two BFM hops, I'd probably say you're right. This A/C is ridiculous.

Strike and Strike-Fighter complete, with the exception of SES. Starting Fighter-Weps and BFM Friday or Monday, would be my guess. I'm not saying the Hornet isn't a great deal of fun to fly, it is, and incredibly capable. Rather my sentiment was that T-45 is very simple, and the flying was...

"Kill that motherf***er!" That was excellent. I think I'd have to KIO due to intense abdominal pain from laughing if I heard that coming from the backseat. All that being said, solo ACM flights in the T-45C - Hi-Aspect and Three-Plane specifically, are still, despite flying the Hornet, the...

I just watched it. Hilarious.

While I'm pretty far removed from OCS, I'd do whatever possible to give my foot a break prior to shipping. You're obviously in good enough shape where the physical aspect of OCS shouldn't be an issue so take the next eight weeks and allow your foot to heal to the max extent possible. You can...

Unfortunately you're likely speaking the truth; I'm only speaking for the Marines I spend my time around, and they're generally aviators, and hence have more sense and have consumed less kool-aid.

A necessary evil required at OCS and TBS, and dropped promptly thereafter.

That's excellent. I may have to pick up some of that stuff for a handful of buddies. Thanks!

Poor IP? I'd say poor student.

Brett's list is solid. I'd add - Spartacus Game of Thrones

Yes, we do. I've only ever done that type of training in the "Quantico highlands" battling the CRF, so it made more sense to wear woodlands as it was much more fitting for the terrain in that environment. Slightly off topic - Anyone still in TBS, or having recently left - Are we still fighting...

Regarding your first point - It's uncomfortable as hell wearing rolled sleeves if you routinely go to the gym - I don't blame dudes for cutting them, and they look better. And the only guys I've ever known to do it also made sure to keep a spare blouse on hand "just in case." As for the second...

I'm wondering what the reasoning behind the change is...

Pretty awesome. On a side note, anytime I've heard "it was a pretty varsity move," the preceding words were something to the extent of "I was certain you f*cked it away..." Then to follow, "It's probably easier if you don't put yourself in that situation." Guess that applies here too!

I I've never had an issue either. Concur with contacts being the best option and glasses limiting field of view.

Say what you will, but if that things works as advertised, it's a capability I'd love to have.

Got through the first fifth of it this evening after reading your endorsement and downloading it. A quick read so far, and funny - I caught myself laughing aloud multiple times... Despite being the only person in my apartment.

Are you joking? API and then Primary.

I thought it was rather obvious that I was being sarcastic...

Where do I sign up?

Don't forget Flora-Bama.

How is anyone suppose to complete Primary with Ben's Gouge now being useless?!

According to...?

"With only 105 lead-nosed bullets on board..." I think that might do a fair amount of damage to a large, non-maneuvering, target.

If we have a "like" button for posts, can we have a dislike button? Selling those cars is that owner of the dealership's livelihood, by attempting to take his livelihood from him the would-be thief was threatening his life. If more people felt this way, we'd likely have a lot less theft and...

So very true. For better or worse, those stories tend to only be shared with the close friends.

Well, it's no Phrog...

Such a beautiful airplane.

Where the hell is the "edit" button? I meant to write "theater near you."

Coming to a theater new you.

Take it in stride dude - Aim to make your gradesheets one page/half page/one paragraph. I know it is Primary, but once you get beyond you'll simply be expected to perform well and the best you can hope for is a "No issues" on a debrief point. Out of curiosity, what is his background?

I remember a student, who will remain nameless, G-LOCing in a brief while I was at Whiting.

Like Synix said above me, about six months. A buddy of mine received his in only a couple though. But I'd plan closer to six.

Pretty excited about what came in the mail today!

?

Wow - So sims effectively don't count anymore? That'll be interesting.

Charlies are single seat, strictly air-to-air. Echos are two seat, and can do both.

A few more.

Not many photos have shown up on Facebook yet, but here is one of the first cat shot since we reintroduced it. Burchett, pictures above, deserves most of the praise for getting her up and running again, but myself and Leahey tried to lend a hand as well. It was a great time as I'm sure anyone...

Each of the 11 crewmembers are preflighting for the entire three hours?

I'd prefer this one...

Hornets Over Kuwait by LtCol Stout has been excellent thus far.

Here are a few pictures I snapped last week during the Key West Boat Det. And the bird I qual'd in - Yes, I had to fly a Meridian jet... But she performed admirably.

What percent of Marine jet studs get F-22s? Standing by for...

It's... Just so... Beautiful!
