I'm going to go with .... never ... but I'm a cynic.

Do you mean the class pubs or aviation pubs (approach plates, GP and the like)? I got my class books ahead of time at API, opened them the first day and promptly ignored them the rest of the time. Before starting primary i got my T-34 NATOPS and studied nearly daily - only because I was...

…the guys the story is reporting on...the ones who are protesting the US actions (which i'm not defending). How many protests have you seen in the Middle East included a burning of the American flag? I'm going to go with quite a few. Yes, i know there have been many protests here where the...

Interesting food for thought... http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/1E234ADC-F6A4-4681-94AD-53BE322B7125.htm Uh, don't these guys burn our flag on a daily basis?

Maybe sponsors are what we need. We could even have whole battle groups represent a large city. Trading cards would be totally awesome to. "I'll trade you my GW battle group and the USS Nebraska for your Regan battle group." Hmm....i copy right this idea! We ought to have Airwarriors...

man, you are such a nice guy!

I carry within me, a lethal weapon....myself. I've got a paddle holster, but as it is for a full sized glock, i can't really conceal it except in the winter - i look funny wearing my ski jacket when it's 65 degrees out.

So will it improve my chacnes of getting jets?

if you've got it, flaunt it. back on topic: i've had a great deal of success with Oxyclean. That stuff is just great. It even took the dog poop outta my carpet (and she was one sick puppy). I've used it on my whites a few times (both chokers and summer whites). Key is, like everyone else...

and monkeys fly outta my a$$! Your a commie!

Guns are bad. They hurt people. If we didn't have guns, we wouldn't have violence.

Lennin liked ice cream cake too...YOU COMMUNIST!

HAHAHA! That's damn funny. I think that people frequently view the rebel flag as just that - rebels, NOT ON THE SAME TEAM! Also, when you've got skin heads and racists of all sorts using that flag as a symbol for their agenda, whatever legitimate use that symbol has is completely...

Another way all y'all can support troops: My dad is a member of the Navy League in my home town and they support an amphib named after my town. They have amassed over TWO TONS of books, DVD's, and various other things to send to those Marines and Sailors. The COB is the POC for the boat and...

maybe you haven't seen my birthday suit, it's quite stunning.

if it weren't for all the dining outs, we'd not need choker whites.

they can talk all the smack they want - 'cause that's all they've got, just TALK!

If i tell them too! I'm a PILOT damnit!

mostly they ***** about the temp in the back, or that you're yanking and banking too much. I think they do some other tactical stuff, but i'm not sure.

Hans Brix always busting my balls

actually, i kinda suck... but they keep paying me!

chicks

Nerds!!! :icon_tong

I'm so ronery!

I plan on making my wife bring home the bacon while i build a deck and consume mass quantities of beer.

Yeah, this guy seriously needs to die. I can't think of any reason to keep him around. Although, I bet he would get is a$$ kicked if he were introduced to the general prison population. Why can't we use the firing squad any more? The gov't could sell tickets for it and may millions. I'd...

c'mon, it will be fun, i swear!

Oh he's making a list He's checking it twice He'll find out who's been naughty or nice.....

Man, that SUUUCKS! Makes staying military look mighty good. Of course the Navy has been paying attention to these events and has cut the aviation retention bonus by $50k over 5 years....

funny you should mention that. There's a "qual" (i think that's what it is called) in NALCOMIS for "flight attendant". Sometimes i'll put that down on the yellow sheet for the FO's because it isn't like the hours mean anything to them anyhow - and hey, it is funny. When i get a particularly...

i've not seen anyone do that, but it is a great idea. though, being the pilot, i've got a rack - a very nice one :D

Little MMA news for you all. We were asked the other day about what we thought was the best solution for the crew rest area on the new MMA (P-8A). The current P-3 has two "Navy Style" bunks, which though antiquated, are quite comfortable. Boeing proposed two solutions. One is a traditional...

what kind of planes does the Navy have?

would you have told this story if you hadn't made it?

how did that water injection thing work? what's with all the smiles, you been offending people of late?

You F-up, you pay. Your copilot F-up, you pay. Your nav F-up, you pay. Kinda like being married except that in a marrige you'll never be in charge - but you'll pay.

Yup, was a Rockeye. Cluster bombs - when accuracy is paramount!

did the PPC and the 2P take turns strangling the FE? That's a pretty major mistake, going for the Fuel and Ignition switch vice the E-Handle or the Fx button.

We don't take ourselves too seriously. Any aviator who does, regardless of what they fly, is in for a miserable career. I don't know about other communities, but we sure laugh at ourselves a lot. The guys who are anal and don't have a sense of humor are usually ostracized. Our wardroom is...

since when do we use the fuel and ignition switch to shut down engines for loiter? is that how it used to be done? Seems if you fuel chopped it you'd decouple.... we use the E handle now. If you've got a special FE in the seat EVERYBODY checks him on the E handle. not trying to bust your...

does it piss off the Airforce types when you do this? it would break my heart to cause them any discomfort....

hehe, that happened at my squadron. It was like that for the first few months I was here. Then we had a change of command and our new skipper rescinded that order. Moral has improved noticeably. I'm sure it is more than just the "bags all the time" thing, our skipper is just that great a...

wearing the dip will be hard to do. I may some day work up the energy to lift my had to the top of my head and press down on the back of my garrison cover (it takes a great deal of motivation for me to put the thing on to begin with). But, i see the light! Our squadron allows the wearing of...

I've never been a big fan of the "dip". But when i was first exposed to it I was in OCS, surrounded by several SWO officers who did the "dip"- most of them were tools. Now that I know it started with VP I may change. What do you guys think of guys who run around in khakis with their...

"nothing more" yeah, that's what they all say. Which one in the video were you? :eek: j/k

guns are cool, i like guns!

I think all O's have to have TS, but i'm not 100% certain. Secret for sure. You're given a great deal of responsibility and often times, very little oversight as an O. You can get away with quite a bit (and people have) if you're dishonest. Owing money, while not in and of itself a dishonest...

that's awesome! HAHAAH!!!! you know, nothin' beats zero-G barf...er arf?

They WILL look at your credit history. Your finances play a factor (some say a big one) in your TS clearance - for obvious reasons. Get it cleaned up before you submit. If you can't get it all cleaned up, just have a reasonable explanation for it.
