Correct. The figures here are just Fed Income taxes. Whether or not you have state income taxes is your own call, and whether or not those taxes are deductible from federal taxes is also another issue. Looking at the data, alot of The Chief and Wink's concerns are backed up by facts, but I...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm writing a thesis concerning immigration. A section therein could be improved with a discussion of tax payouts/receipts. Don't mind if I do a bit more digging and use this...

Out of curiosity, could you give a source for this 40% of the labor force not paying taxes? Seems a bit high to me, but you seem to use that figure quite a bit.

BAD BAD Gouge. Swerd has better info for you. FCR make their money doing in one step what you could for free in 3 steps and some patience. They're hell to deal with and cancel from

Did the custody battle consist of putting the dog between the two of you, having you both call it, and see who it came to? Or is that just too rational? Also, from your descriptions, I'm surprised he wasn't eaten in a late night fridge raid

While it's still early to figure out who is vulnerable and who isn't, if democrats lose the initiative on the "hope" principle and get bogged down in anger over taxation, and bailout corruption, their next couple of months will make them look like a big part of the problem. First term...

I just got off the phone with some family who work in corporate media. What they're telling me is that a lot of democratic officials are actually quite nervous about the legs the discussion about tea-parties is proving to have. Whether or not you agree with their message, it can't be denied...

Too true. They care too much about entertainment to function as a public service anymore. The minute they realized that they could make more money telling right wingers that lefties were all baby slaughtering commies and tell left wingers that people on the right were all bible thumping racists...

Stand by for PM

Jorgelito, I was about 20 pounds over, but because my Fat % was only 16% with the rope and choke, They waived me through. If you're fit enough to do the run and sit ups and pushups, you should make the body fat portion no problem

Seems a good way to sum it up.

Dunno about that, A straw poll taken by my euro friends who'd been there said that the housing and bedding was adequate, but only just. Further, they'd said that the food was okay, but only as far as the bad ingredients would let it be. The consensus seemed to be that they'd gone to go, and...

Great news for you. Absolutely shocking that they messed you up like that at first

Low quality food and inadequate infrastructure, and only 90 miles away from my own home? Sign me up!* *It'll be interesting for the academics among us to watch what a difference a few years of capitalism makes.

You have no idea the can of worms you have just opened. Prepare your flame retardant suit.

Just passing along word of mouth, but my OR is telling me that the list of peopole who made boards should be available next week. Mine said to ring him on wednesday earliest

+1 for mentioning wallsits, Easy to do anywhere you have time, great for stabilizer muscles.

Best of luck to you mate. I'm applying for OCS before i've got my degree (I graduate in 46 days). The deal is that IF they pro-rec me before I get the degree, they'll cut you a final select and orders once you have a diploma in hand.

Threadjack: Woa. I've never even heard of Fat Man Inserts. How bad was the obesity problem in ST? Does it compare to rural Florida? End Threadjack:

Truer words were never spoken. What's good is what fits you well, but if you have a flat foot, you'll be needing more arch support then a person with a high arch, so ymmv. For my money, Adidas make a good $80 shoe, but that's for people who need a heel cushion and arch. The way to figure all...

AngHockey, Hope you don't mind me tacking on to your help

Distorting the facts is one thing, but I'd love to hear someone explain how Mexicans are able to get full-auto Kalashnikovs from over here in numbers sufficient to equip thousand man armies whilst I'm unable to carry anything more menacing than a lighter up in NY.

Fixed that for you... And Jorgelito, no more descriptions of it being painful at first please

As has been mentioned, STRETCH. Take in about 100-200 paces to get the blood flowing, and then stretch. You can get the front of your shin by touching the top of your foot to the ground and bending your knee down. There are a few million to get the backs. Also get your ankle loose by rotating...

Have you seen this tidbit? http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147805 Theres a search function up mear your unread messages, for future needs

That's a fairly large assumption. I had a friend get stood up in Manchester, England because he wore a USAF hat his dad gave him. Then again, my footie team wore Top Gun costumes for Halloween and got rave reviews. YMMV For my $.02, stay inconspicuous, gracious, and polite. People usually love...

Cheers for the refinement Pistol, "Towards the end I will start to cramp slightly in my calves, and for the most part I get winded" I used to have the same trouble with cramps. I found out that if i did alot of high rep LOW weight ankle, calf, and hamstring exercises, that helped a lot. You...

Quote: You can help us help you alot more if you tell us what it is about the running that knocks you. Do your muscles cramp, do you get winded, bored...? That sounds like a regimen. It's more then alot of people do. I Think you might be able to help us help you by giving us more info on your...

Best of luck

Undeniably true. However, if their Politburo know they've invested heavily in building up their manufacturing capibilities, and their Politburo also know that keeping their jobs rests on keeping the populace happy, are they really willing to risk all they've worked for by warring over a place...

Potential Stupid Question Alert: Are they really on our level yet? Saying they have the missile tech to shoot doesn't mean a number of things. You'd have to assume a lot to assume it's combat ready 1. They have launchers capable of shooting it accurately (Russia has alot of problems with that)...

Traditional symbols of their women looking after their men. You'll see it a lot if you check their artwork. I'm trying to decide what's weirder, the 'roid case in the paratrooper commercial bragging about how they get to come in on their "white bouquets" or this guy with his kolbasa randomly...

Better that than what I heard. Sounded like he said something about "chistie volax" which would mean something like clean oxen

It's even funnier when you realize he's singing "Parachutes, our white bouquets.." And then you realize that their word for "light blue" also means fa**ot, You're right though, it's targeted at peasants (myzhniks) who have no chance to get out of wherever they are. It's full of stuff like, "The...

Does anybody know if the NEX sells that spray on sunblock? It saves you minutes in that you can just spray yourself real quick and run out. It works really well for your head too, when it's buzzed....Only problem I've found is that some brands turn your clothes yellow and don't wash out

Good to know. Thanks for fixing the title. I wasn't sure, because some of the graphs state that they are only prior enlisteds, where as some of the profiles suggest prior service as a plus. I guess we should chalk that up to the ppt being done by committee? I guess it would be really interesting...

So I noticed alot of people asking one another if they thought their scores were good enough or what not. Of course, the only answer is apply and find out. But I found on-line a FY 06 summary of the scores that the recruiting boards themselves considered competitive...

For anybody going Intel, Have you guys been told that the next board is May? I was told I'd be waiting for the May boards to hear back about Intel because it's the next one coming (Was told this in Feb) Oh and 3.4 GPA 7/7/8 - 57 3 LoRs, Professor, Congressman, FBI Agent Intel/Swo/SuppO...

Adhermes, I hope you find this helpful. No corrections were made maliciously, and write me back if you feel like I can help more fully

Nice one. +1

Speaking as a guy finishing his last semester, I've gotta agree more generally with HAL. While your mileage may vary, I'm fortunate enough that I only have to part time VERY infrequently to make up the difference between tuition and what my parents can put towards it. I'd consider it a slap in...

Actually, having checked mine, it wants an official score as well. My money is that they'll want a copy for your final select, after you've been pro rec'd (Touch Wood). Don't spend the money till your recruiter tells you to

http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146645 To summarize that other forum, Just tell your recruiter and he'll sort you out.

I haven't seen a thing requesting the official numbers, self reported only. Same goes for GRE, GMAT, and ACT, I can only assume

I'd say leave it a while, for what it's worth. If he's anything like my guy, he'll have been busting his ass for you. It seems to me that dealing with the paperwork just takes an irritatingly long time. If it makes you feel any better, read about how long this guy's process took and how hard...

I think it went about as deep as "What ship has the nick name old ironsides" for me... Maybe one more about Who said "I'll be damned if I strike"

You do raise a good point. He is antagonistic to our goals internationally, and he would love to have a strong backer to help contest our influence in Latin America. Still, I prefer him falling flat on his own face when Venezuelans realize how much better countries we have good relations with...
