Ditto, and an APU....

Now THAT is flat hatting.

From what i understand PRK isn't fun. You'll be hurting for a few weeks in some cases. The actual reshaping of the eye is the same it's just how they get through the protective layer of skin that differs between the two methods. The recovery time is much shorter with LASIK. You can ask...

It used to be 30 days. When i found out i was a good candidate for PRK it was 30 days but my command didn't want me to be down for that long. When i talked to the doc about it last month he said it was longer now, 6mo, and few commands, if any were allowing their guys to do it.

It's very short because the navy is soon going to switch to LASIK - at least that's the plan. LASIK should be approved fairly soon, they have a test group of some 60 pilots right now who have or will be getting it. I don't know when it'll be available for the common masses. Several major...

Dude, you ain't kidding!

This guy is crazy! http://www.aircraftguru.com/aircraft-videos/show-aircraft-videos.php?v_id=67

Mostly they sit around on the bridge of their big gray boats, looking up at the sky, and wishing they'd gone aviation:D

I really hope it doesn't go this way. At this rate a flying shore tour will become a thing of the past. Though I'd happily take a flying sea tour to what i got for a shore tour...

uhhh. So if you tortured animals but didn't play war, is that OK? just asking...cause i know this guy who was wondering...

I have found that muggers, terrorists, and their ilk have weak necks and they are prone to breaking easily.

I wouldn't want to be the CDI who signed that off.

I posted this some time ago, but i still think it holds true. To be a pilot you've also gotta be really awesome, and by totally awesome I mean totally sweet.

now if you could just take off from your font yard, that thing'd be the sh!t! I would buy one right now.

'cause in a world without america, there wouldn't be a britian.

Skipper, "Random Task, show them what you do." Random Task, "Alright...see here...ah! You! Yes you, lieutenant. I need you to generate a weekly tracker to aid in our bi-weekly Wing meetings regarding squadron readiness and overall general preparedness for the upcoming monthly and quarterly...

Neat, now if you could just make an inspirational video about power point briefs and O-4's with random tasking, you'd get the other half of what we do :)

you're supposed to give back those flight suits, so I wouldn't sell them on here.

I bypass the whole rack thing and just sleep in my seat.

NMCI can't even get the regular internet to work well. Giving them the keys to SIPR is like giving a blind person a job as a school bus driver.

You were an AO? But you can write a full sentence! Cats and dogs living together, what’s happening to the world?! Propstop <--AVARM

I try to avoid SIPR like the plague. Mainly because i don't want to accidentally leave my HD in over night then end up turning big rocks into little rocks. Now that NMCI is running the show, i'm sure they've turned an already difficult system to navigate into a virtually useless one. Got a...

If you're really light, yes. I've been to 310 and i've heard of 330, but never higher. Fat kids don't do well in thin air.

Ah, I fondly remember those days. Once an O4 PPC (I was just the damp behind the ears 3P) asked if i wanted to do a few position reports to Saigon....er ....HoChiMin Radio. Since i had just finished listening to the nav give his report - hearing him yell into the mic from the back, over the...

Well i lasted longer in that than the first time i had mature relations with a woman.

I think it'd be great, if they were worn by someone in your family or a close family friend. Absolutely you should remember the past and I think it's a fine way to honor those who answered the call in the past. A pair bought at auction or some antique store would not be the same. I'd, of...

Two words: ROAD TRIP! How cool would that be, road trippin' across the good ol' US of A with your DI and class chief? Man, I think that'd be great. You could sing songs as you drive, maybe do PT on the bus seats. Maybe they'll march them all the way there, that'd be cool too...

Is it just me or is this an appropriate turn of phrase for Iraq, "Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This... is my boomstick!"

all of you are wrong. If i went down, i want this by my side.

Fly in foul wx? Not in a P-3, we'd never do that. :) I've had to have more than one seat cushion surgically removed from my butthole after some weather adventures. Nothing beats being surrounded by massive thunderstorms with a radar that doesn't work, inexplicably losing an engine, followed...

North Island has some nice rooms, but most of their rooms suck. More than anything though, any large group checking into NASNI (by large i mean more than three in your party) it takes forever to check in. They have a nice lobby with a new checkin desk and all that, but it still take forever...

I don't have a link for it. This is just what my flt doc told me the other day. I had asked about PRK and was planning on getting it when i left my current command (they wouldn't approve it if I were to be down for so long). There is no difference in how the laser fixes your eye, that I...

Hold off on the PRK. Within the next few months the navy will approve Lasik and it will be available to service members. Lasik is a much better procedure, faster recovery and overall better long term results. I was going to get PRK from the navy in a few months, between duty stations. But...

most advanced math i took was pre-calc in high school. You needn't worry, flying math is easy - you just have to do lots of it and sometimes have to do it fast.

4000#, how cute :icon_tong we'd be likely flame out if we had less than 4K in the tanks...

Man no kidding. Or when you go somewhere new and exciting and all they want to eat is american fast food! Why not try some of the local fare? If you come home with per diem, that's great, but don't eat top raman the whole time just to assure that you do. Live it up, you may never return to...

Usually in advanced you can take the test and get your ratings. If you go P-3's you can get single/multi, and instrument ratings. If you fly C-12's in advanced you can get a type rating. If you go back to Corpus as an instructor, you can get your ATP. I'm sure you could get these tests...

Okay, i take back what i said about sending our guys back FedEx. This is pretty moving, if true (and I sure hope it is). Maybe by including Joe average civilian, we can help people feel more a part of what is going on. FLIGHT DEPARTMENT HOTLINE December 18, 2006 This is Captain Bob...

These are my guns.

Goes back to that whole cave men with nintendos analogy i made a few months back.

This is just crazy.

sure makes getting to home base easier. Don't have to depend on my personality and charm then.

man, I am not squared away. When i walk into a room all they do is push glasses of beer into my hands.

what's wrong with healthy? I like 'em thick myself, less likely to break!

I'm all ready to pony up to the wardroom; I was the treasurer for a while (a truly thankless job!). I always go nuts on det and get the biggest steak I can get, regardless of how we're splitting the check or not splitting. I like to eat well. I do draw the line at buying a fancy $800 watch or...

I like wearing mine to Brett's mom's house... er, that's PG-13 right? A uniform in P-Cola worked out better than i expected. Of course it was just weeks after 9/11 and I was still in OCS so i had to wear a uniform. I've found very few people, even here in the PNW, who are not...

So if we got a P-3 watch would it always give you the wrong time zone and leak lots of hydraulic fluid? I mean, how detailed are these watches?

Actually, that's not true. It's FLYING jets that gives you a small penis. Just like flying P-3's fries your nuts and you only have girls. Simple science really. :D

What you should be asking is what % get P-3s, the very tip of the spear! Uh, i've been out of primary for a while now so i don't have much I can add that's useful. Welcome aboard, enjoy your stay and I hope you get what you want. Just PLEASE don't b!tch if you don't get what you want...

I am not seeing the birds eye view function, where is it?
