Hey Helo dudes, how many hours do you walk out of your typical JO tour with? total hours and hours in type? How hard is it to make IP? I really wanted to go helos and I kick myself now and again for not putting more effort into making that happen (not that i hate where I am now or anything...

the P-90 looks cool, but i think i'd go for a MP-5, tried and true. Not that i could begin to afford either.

that's acutally more my style.

ego. Not that i hit the max in pushups, ever.

Though you should be going for the full 2min, don't stop till they call time, at least that's what my DI said you should do. I usually go till i get my score, then thinking about getting a higher score, but then I realize it only shows up on my FITREP as "passed within standards" and then i get...

You know, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I'm happy for him. He finally gets them 40 virgins. Good on him!

well, quite honestly, it's your wedding. I doubt anyone would would give you any grief over what your fiance wears at your wedding.

Wonder if John could start a SIPR side airwarriors. As for me, just filling out the paper work for SIPR is too much work (yes, I am that lazy). That and I don't want to forget the drive in the computer like i've seen done. Too much ass pain. I'll just shark off my TACCO when she's on it...

hardwired people may be to do certain things, but we are not animals, we have higher cognitive abilities (even the dumb ones). When people act on pure animal chemistry and they hurt someone else, the only thing you can do is put them down like a rabid dog. It is funny when my dog goes to hump...

There are two things I hate in this world; people who are intolerant of other peoples' cultures, and the Dutch.

yeah, he failed outta flt school after cheating on some tests (and being a crappy pilot). But he did get laid more than anyone else in our class who wasn't sleeping with another person in our class - yeah, we had that too.

I'll be curious to see how this turns out for him...

you missed ground job, but I put it in there for you.

We had a guy in my class who had his wife visit us (well, him) in Bat 1 when we were in candi-o phase. He skipped out some nights during the officer candidate phase to visit his wife in the car. Somehow he got away with it.

HAHAHA! Holy crap did i laugh a lot at that one... :D

Damn, good thing it wasn't a sidewinder :)

This is getting more interesting than i first thought...

This is awesome! I hope this guy wins. BOSTON (Reuters) - A U.S. war veteran who lost both arms in Iraq has sued Oscar-winning director Michael Moore for $85 million, saying television clips were used without his permission in the anti-war documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" and gave a false...

Haven't heard of this at all...

Maybe they WILL give P-3's guns, this is a target we could take on!

Why do helos need an ILS? couldn't you just fly to the center of the field, or a point (GPS or RNAV) and just lower yourself? I really don't know much about how helos shoot approaches, so if this seems like a stupid question, it isn't meant to be.

"Cool Factor" IMHO it doesn't get any better than this. Though it is impratical in the cockpit, nothing looks cooler. But if you want to carry a gun, vice a cool katana, then I'd not go with the thigh holster. I flew with a thigh holster and it worked better than putting my sidearm...

OLYMPIA, Washington (AP) -- Hours after police fired pepper gas and arrested 22 anti-war protesters, activists returned to Port of Olympia on Wednesday to oppose the shipment of Army equipment to Iraq. Best part is the picture of the people waiving the peace sign with their fingers and the...

yeah, that'd be a fun one to explain to the skipper too...

problem with a fight club is that there's likely someone out there who is bigger and/or more badass than you - and I hate to lose!

Man, like a pack of wolves! :D Isn't VT-3 flying the T-6 now or did i get bad gouge? I thought i heard about one Navy primary squadron (non-NFO) that was flying the T-6.

hmm, handn't thought about that! Makes it easier to shoot the lot of them, i'm good at hitting large groups of targets.

Depends also on how formal you want to be. For my wedding most of the invitations were just the first and last name, short first name if it applied (Matt instead of Matthew, for example). For a few people though, we did use the full title. I'd say it depends on whom you're inviting. Someone...

This is just, well, left my jaw hanging. AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage. ... I'm all...

I know you're not diss'n the Scorps or Queensryche!

still? when did it start? well, P-3's don't accelerate very quickly, kinda like a crappy mini-van.

Are we still accelerating our lives or do we have a new tag line?

They struck down "Poseidon" for the P-8A because there's a nuclear missile named that. I voted for "Poseidon". If they go with "Orion II" i'll be annoyed. It's an Airforce committee that names planes. The P-3 is officially called the "Orion" but we lovingly call it the "War Pig"...

Man, that SUCKS. Aside from a few hurricanes (the indoor type) and numerous times filling our pockets with sand, we never had sand inside. i bet that was fun to clean up!

Let me put it this way, i'd do SERE twice before doing OCS again. All the nitnoid BS of OCS began to wear on me. It's important, I'm glad I did it, but it still sucked. Candio-phase was more fun than OCS, but getting a root canal was more fun than having a wart removed from the bottom of my toe.

flight suits?

I also keep one of these handy: BOOT TO THE HEAD!

very nice

is that your 3yd target? :D

katana, messy but it looks cool

shiny

I like 'em thick, and painted up like tigers. GRRR!!!! BABY GRRRR!!!

The first two can't be women, CAN'T BE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT! I'm going to go hide in my cave now.

It was a black bear trying to get into the U-district. I bet it was a bunch of white cops too. This isn't a case of animal rights, this is a clear case of racism! I'm so mad that I'm going to call the ACLU!

"Look out, he's coming right for us!"

Sharp sucks

But of course it's OK for Mexico and other countries to shoot at people crossing into their territory (just try crossing into mexico from the south, i dare you). You're right though, we would take heat for it. We'd take heat if we offered to give every man, woman, and child in Mexico $100 just...

oh damn, didn't realize those guys were still around. I'll have to do some research next time. I'll give myself negative points for that.

They did... MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Mexico and four Central American nations condemned the U.S plan to build hundreds of miles of triple-layered fencing on its southern border, saying it would not stop illegal immigration. I mean, OK, don't want troops on your boarder to the north...

bet she's a vegan
