worse is when your roommate gets up at 4am to start getting ready for the day (he preened like a damn teenage girl!) and wakes your ass up. No matter how many times you tell him to to do that...he keeps doing it...violence nearly ensued... Got put back into poopies - about the least amount...

Any airport I land at is dangerous.

Rarely do nurses stay hot. I've worked in several hospitals - they usually get big. But when you're staying up all night eating donuts... Some definitely do stay hot though. All i can say to that is, "hellooooo nurse!"

I used to work for helicopter company in Alaska. We flew tourists to a glacier for a tour. If someone weighed over 250lbs we charged them an extra half-seat. The helos had 17" seats (standard airline seats) but no arm rests. People would bitch and complain (the tour was already very...

Criminal Justice, now that's a major that makes you tough!

Just watched this tonight. Where do we get such men and women? This is a great god damn country. Makes 95% of what i've done in the navy seem amazingly insignificant.

One of my good friends was on the P-3 helping with the SAR. It really is great how everybody drops everything and goes balls to the walls to help out their shipmates. I might make disparaging remarks about jet guys or helo guys (or boat schoolers) but I know if I go down that they will stop...

I want to fly that thing, it rocks!

WTF are you talking about? Hard work? Work SMARTER, not HARDER! You're thinking like an O-4 already - secure that sh!t!

you can take protein whey, but JUST whey. Those mass builders aren't legal.

It's true, sad but never the less, true. Of course that was a stripped down, low ZFW a/c. With gear and a full crew, it is going to weigh a LOT more. 737 is a really great plane from what i understand. I've only ever been pax, but from what i hear they over-engineered the crap out of...

Everybody loves their own ride :icon_mi_1

Still better looking than an C-2 or an S-3. Sexy may not be a good word to describe the war pig, but it is stately.

God the P-3 is such a sexy plane!

You know what that music is from don't you? The first song anyhow.

Unfriggen believable. ORM - Learn it, Love it, Live it. Assuming risk like this in civilian flying is completely unacceptable. Under most circumstances, I'd say the absolute same for military flying. Unless you're saving lives or taking lives, there is no reason to do something as foolish as...

myspace has the worst user interface - i can get the video to work. What's the title?

I do focus a lot on the airlines, but in a perfect world I'd like to fly bug smashers in Alaska. ERA Aviation flies to a lot of neat little places in some cool planes (restored DC-3's for example) but the pay is crap. Still, it's about how much you enjoy what you're doing, not how much you get...

That's actually financial plan A. Plan B is get a flying job. Plan C is to be a man whore. I really hope the first two work out...cause I don't want to stay active duty.

This is all really great info. Thank guys for putting it up. Now if i could just accelerate the next five years... Or at least the next three... I'm real curious what the pic will look like in 2011-12 timeframe.

Okay, this is just too funny. Not really military related, but is current news. This part is friggen hilarious: Alan Foster, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, told AFP it was not uncommon for hunters to be shot by their dogs.

Uh...you lost me at "basically". :) I see posted on websites like, willflyforfood.cc wages posted as: $xx/hr + 1.30/hr per diem. For example Alaska Airlines: First Year 737 FO: $35/hr Monthly Guarantee: 75hrs Reserve Guarantee: 76hrs Per diem Day Trip: $1.3/hr Per diem Overnight...

How does airline pay work?

I need some alone time.

Can't flush what you don't have.

But they'd earn them. Unlike the UAV drivers. I mean, look at who they're flying with - oh and they're getting shot at too (but I think that's minor compared to the former).

Its what I do. :icon_smil

anybody else have an overpowering desire to kick that stick when they see this?

Well, if aliens decide to invade while he's up there - they better stand the hell by! I thought there were quite a few DevilDogs in space. 17 is pretty good representation for such a small aviation corps!

how come they get a cool O course?

And when you hear through the WIFERNET (Wife Net) of him being mugged in his hotel room by a transvestite hooker in Thailand - before exploding wait for his story. No joke, serious about this!

You're correct, but like you said, learning to take a lick is important. I did karate for several years and I discovered what it's like to take a hit - and i've been hit really hard. At first I'd be totally paralyzed, now I know what to expect, I don't fear it (maybe I even like it a little)...

The O course was still there when I did OCS in the fall of 01, but was not part of OCS any longer. It'd been shut down due to lead based paint. Our DI didn't much care about that and took us there anyhow. We each got to run in twice and it was a blast (and totally exhausting) but to my...

i believe the term i herd was, "Hide with pride".

I mean, seriously. This is like a 6 year old saying, "I know you are but what am I?" The Iranian parliament on Saturday voted to designate the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Army as terrorist organizations, IRNA, the country's state-run news agency, reported.

That was awesome. I love it when controllers have a sense of humor.

I'm gonna disagree with you here. I think one thing that makes the Navy great is that our NCO's and up stand out because they have a different uniform - you know whom your leaders are. Standing out on a ship is OK - standing out on the battlefield isn't OK. Now that being said...I do...

so, no more chilled monkey brains? damn...

How do you get life insurance after an incident like that?

Musta been written by a marine. :D

Sorry, I meant to add :D:D:D:D to that post. All in good fun man! If we're not going to poke fun at boat schoolers, then who are we going to poke fun at? Well, other than the AF...

Wow, that view does not suck! Thanks for sharing these.

That and the obvious inferiority complex they have.

Generators, wiring, TR's, transformers, gyros, flight instruments, that's your AE's. AT's are radios, navaids, computers, etc.

Talk to your AT's, they're the masters of the ICS system. I bought my IFT a bottle of some goldish liquid and magically the next flight we had tunes. He even had a few songs he'd play when certain people boarded the plane. Mine was, "I'm an Asshole"... not sure how to take that one...

No tag? No smear the queer? No wonder kids are fat these days. I broke a kids nose in 4th grade playing games outside. What kind of punishment did I get? I saw the principle; he threatened me with his paddle (which my parents had been more than happy to sign the approval letter for) which...

Well, we gotta beat something don't we? Now, as for your much larger paycheck...I'm working towards that :) Some day I'll fly the Whale (and I'm not talking about MB ex)!

Does it have one of a P-3 guy cashing his per diem check? That's the one i want.

Man, P-3 guys gotta love that thing! Answer me this, do your flight instruments, radios, etc, tend to change position from plane to plane?

That gear is butt ugly. How about i show up, run the PRT, and they leave me the hell alone? Next thing you'll know we'll be saluting in PT gear.
