WHAT?! That song rules! Hair bands forever! Oh, yeah, it's a cool movie. Roy Schnider is in it I think.

If the pilot is sweating, usually everyone else is too :icon_tong

Actually, and this is technique, you won't find this in NATOPS, if you drop a bomb in the flt station but immediately start walking back, pausing briefly (not breaking stride though) at the NAV/TACCO station, you can suck it along with you, leaving most of it there. If you're at NASNI and...

we don't have a fancy cooling system like all y'all have (save phrogdriver). We don't even get a real refrigeration source, rather we use a "bootstrap" (which is techno-speak for "sh!tty") turbine assembly that uses expansion of ambient air to effect cooling. Works great in some planes, sucks...

man you don't know how many days of the week i walk into the squadron and get asked, "Did you get my memo/email/fax/note?" Along with, "Where the hell have you been?" And I always have no clue WTF they're talking about. My last boss was famous for it. Guess i'll vote yes.

OCS is very much easier I expect. As for SERE, i suspect not so much. It wasn't easy, and parts of it were not fun (you know which parts), but the overall experience was very good and I did enjoy learning all of it - even the not so pleasant parts. Maybe i'm weird that way. SERE is much...

OCS was "fun" once you got with the program and began to understand the game and it was only fun within the confines of that game. The constant immersion in the game causes a bit of Stockholm syndrome and you do begin, well some do anyhow, to enjoy it. You develop really tight bonds with...

uh, what am i agreeing to here? I've lost track of what is going on and I'm not even drunk. Can we use those rep points yet to buy whiskey and hookers...er, i mean hats and patches...

PARIS, France (Reuters) -- A clear view of your favorite French beach or monument is only a click away. My only question, who the hell wants to look at France...aside from the Germans...

Still can't pack two dogs and all my ski gear in a GTO, then go drive through snow like it's nothing. Yeah, i'd love a muscle car, but the utility my WRX offers in addition to the fun that it is to drive makes it the best choice for me. I don't think they're really comparable directly. I'm...

I'd like to be able to buy stuff with my rep points. Airwarriors t-shirts, lunch boxes, etc.

I 3rd, or 4th, or whatever, the call to allow us to spread rep points as we'd like, vice spreading them around before giving some more to those who consistantly post good and/or funny things. And that device that allows me to slap someone over the internet, yes, that one too. Man, I'd even...

just dealing with controlled stuff is a pain in the butt. I'd really just rather drive the bus.

Even if you had a TS clearence as an SNA, you'd not have a need to know. There would be some who have it (prior types).

Uuuhhgggg, PI, Pattaya... Man, Klosters and San Mig light give me BAAAD hangovers. One week was more than enough. Saw things that...well, if you've been there, you know what I mean, if you haven't, you don't want to (well, that's BS, you do, but i can't put it into words). Thailand is GREAT...

2004 WRX (like mine) 0-60 - 5.2 sec New GTO (350hp) 0-60 - 5.5 sec and I can't carry my dogs in the back of a GTO, nor my ski bag with skis on top :) I like the GTO and I'm a HUGE fan of the 70's GTO. If i were a rich man i'd buy a classic GTO in a hearbeat. Love the lines on that car.

Not to be a mood killer....BUUUUT. Last year we had some middie who was at RIMPAC start spouting about what he saw at RIMPAC. All of it was unclass, but still we gotta be careful what we say. Pics from official military websites are perfectly OK. There is nothing wrong with this thread...

no P-3 :(

exactly.

the only way i've seen the new beetle be cool.

I 2nd the WRX. I have one and I love it (good car to get pulled over in though, my fifth time was in April). Blast to drive, safe, great in all conditions, carries your skis easily (I have the wagon). It is noisy though, and the stock stereo is just OK, but the 06's are better. The 06's also...

What a beast. I caught a ride in one after I winged in corpus, just for kicks. It was like flying in a bus. Really fun standing at the open rear door looking out over the TX country side. I'd fly it!

when i first saw the title of this post, i thought it said, "Venezuelan Wankers", but then I looked closer, read the article, and realized that "Wankers" would be more appropriate.

that's some drag count right there.

Oh DAMN! SAAANNNAAP!

what are YOU talking about? I'm talking about the balls in planes, lets you know if your out of balanced flight. Usually low down, between your legs (least that's where we keep ours).

man, your balls look tasty. I too enjoy the taste of beer.

Other than glasses, contacts, and PRK, all I can think of is SWO.

who are? Why do you want to know this stuff? Who do you work for? Who do you report to? hmmmmm?! yeah, check out fas.org for most of your answers.

EFDS has electronic turn needles, the balls are still old and they don't work well. Sometimes they stick, usually just one of them, but i really hate it when my balls stick.

it's bad technique, really.

I like to have my balls (both pilot and copilot, if they match up, sometimes my balls don't match in these planes as they are old) centered during all phases of flight. i ride my 3P about it too, if his balls are out at all, i get very annoyed. Not much you can do about the auto pilot in a P-3...

he told me that story! that was quite a feat of flexibility.

He's still there? That guy was cool!

sigh....

man, i've got a new guy just like you in my squadron. You'll do well if you get to a wardroom... <sarcasm>

Marines Corps investigates song about killing civilians WASHINGTON (AP) -- A music video posted on the Internet that tells a tale about a U.S. Marine killing members of an Iraqi family is being condemned by an Islamic group and investigated by the Marine Corps... Okay, gonna throw out a little...

Hmm, a 1G maneuver....wonder if a P-3 could do that :) What are the control inputs for a Chandelle? Anyone know?

oh SNAP!

Would they? A T-56 for sure. Modern turbine engines can ingest an astounding amount of water and still operate. I watched footage of them testing the 777 engines and they threw a sh!t-ton (standard, not metric) of water, ice, snow, chickens, etc into it and it kept going. i was amazed.

somehow i managed not to do that very well... P-3ers, like the planes they fly, don't avoid radar well :icon_smil

well, needed to update my will anyhow.

and there in lies the difficult life of the JO. You can't slack off too much, or else you get great orders to a TSC (or you get hit by a "quality spread"). But if you work too hard, you get more work, which in turn generates more work, to get good orders which involve more work. Its a vicious...

or you could kick his ass in the house of God. I'll buy you a beer if you do.

Have you seen a P-3 before? :eek: :D

Other gear to have, a cool pair of Oakleys.

not remarkably different from what I do now... and hey, on one end of your trip is Australia, one of the coolest places on earth

isn't there something kida illegal about posing as a military officer?

If your guns aren't specifically mentioned in your will they go to the BATF?! Or is that for full auto only? I've not heard this before.

Sounds like they kept their heads about them. Wonder how you get a job doing those transits, sounds kinda cool.
