Julia Butterfly Hill was her name, Earth First! type activities are her game. She's not hard on the eyes.

Sweet, thanks. I'll give that a try! Now i just have to think of a reason to go find clean hippies (should such a creature exist).

I tried typing in "clean hippies" and it crashed my GPS. Any other things I should look for?

Mexico threatens lawsuits over Guard CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) -- Mexico warned Tuesday it would file lawsuits in U.S. courts if National Guard troops detain migrants on the border and some officials said they fear the crackdown will force illegal crossers into more perilous areas to avoid...

Do you always know when i'm drinking coffee? Maybe i should stop consuming beverages when I'm reading this site! "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Brett327 again."

You type either of those two in here and you don't get much around here :) Going to give it a go in Seattle when next i'm there.

Selling Iran F-16's is like giving a cave-man a Nintendo.

I have a Garmin 60cx and i'm pretty darn happy with it. Having the removable micro-SD cards is super nice. It has a ton of memory space right out of the box. Easy to use, nice screen, etc. The Garmin software is alright, expensive though. I'm not 100% sold on their Metro-Map software, it...

and on det :p

I was going to give you negative rep points for causing me to snort hot coffee through my nose, but I must spread the rep points around more before I can do that. Mark my words, i'll get you for this Fly Navy, I'll get you.... BTW, it's a good idea!

Whidbey rocks, best kept secret in the Navy. This coming from all my experience in the Navy....actually it's just naked bias, being from the general area of the PNW. Orders to here should say, BYOW - Bring Your Own Wife, otherwise, it's great!

This is good news. Our foreign policy DOES work; this is an example of it working. Buuut, Libya is/was nowhere into the radical Islam as other places we'd like to influence. Muammar made the right choice, the lives of his people will significantly improve and his own status will improve, it's...

TACAMO?

yeah, i've *never* made that mistake going into Fairchild. The TACAN for runway 22 (or whatever the west facing runway is) lines you up pretty well on the similar Spokane runway and if you don't look at your DME and think about it for 2 seconds you can easily bite off and take the visual to...

Wow, can you say back side of the power curve! From talking to one of my OCS buddies who flies the superhornet, those kind of slow maneuvers can be very advantageous in a dog fight, "under performing" the other plane (something the P-3 does very well). Can any of you jet bubbas shed some light...

That audio file is one of the funniest things i've ever heard.

Floated for a long time. For you helo guys, do helos sink pretty quick? i've always been told they do.

As a reformed puker I can easily say that eating before a flight made a big difference - no chili dogs though, they REALLY don't help...mmm but they taste so good!

You don't eat with a spoon at OCS, you eat with a WAR SPOON! HOOYAAA!

oh yeah, they use anodized now... Well if you had brass w/ quartermasters then the brasso would have been useful.

condoms. Oh wait, that didn't do the guy who brought them any good, but it was funny for us as Candi-o's. Brasso, but keep it in your car initially.

Mulligan.

been hit by lightening, was marginally cool. I've heard of much better strikes than I got, with actualy lightening or some kind of discharge down the tube - that'd be cool. Oh wait, no it wouldn't! Cool pics man.

10-15 is average on home cycle for P-3s, sometimes more. On deployment my best month was 80 hours, my worst was 25 hours. All depends on where you are and what you're doing. With MMA i'm sure you'll see time go way up. Since P-3s have three pilots for long missions you end up losing out on...

I think Lt. Marks has "fixed the glitch" "Mr. Marks told me to talk to NAVAIR and NAVAIR told me to talk to Mr. Marks and I still have not recieved new orders and they moved my parking spot down the flight line and there was an F-8 on it." edit: On the subject of this thread, do you think...

This guy is a far better pilot than I am! http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=93396

Far better than our SWO daddies or bubbleheads. Bubbleheads especially work ridiculous hours. Our skipper explained that when the Navy is determining how many billets to assign for a given job that they use a 76-hour work week. That's a standard work week for one person in a deployable...

How true, how true. You've absolutely gotta break out on the ground. You can't go to your skipper and say, "Sorry sir, i wasn't in my shop for the last month while it went to hell because I was studying for my PPC board," that answer just won't fly (and neither will you after that). It sucks...

MTSUpilot09, What my onwing said to me on FAM-0 in primary on the subject of how to become a naval aviator: "Look good on final, sound cool on the radio. That's the only time anyone knows it is you." Go to ERAU or any other school (which you already are), get good grades, participate in your...

so true, so true.

well, still better than Navy chicks :)

why for?

I figured that we'd put the mids visiting us in bags. I guess if they really want to be in whites the whole time we could hook them up :)

They might go many of the same places, but they don't engage targets with weapons. Don't get me wrong, they perform a very important mission, but i suspect offensive mining to still be a more dangerous mission. They, like the RJ's are recon only, P-3's can engage in direct action - but nobody...

Okay, the P-3 is the most expensive COMBAT aircraft, i'd not consider a TACAMO nor an EP-3 to be combat aircraft. Though EP-3's have taken down more fighters than P-3's...unless you count those secret CIA P-3's from the sixties. As for the SA.... there was a CRM breakdown on this end, my 3P...

what costs more?

We all have two laptops per crew plus a GPS. Falconview is the SH!T!!! Takes up a HUGE amount of memory though, if you load up all that many maps. Very powerful and useful program. When coupled with PFPS (which is actually separate) you can do some sweet flight planning. I'm not very good...

During my last deployment, our squadron was given a choice of four days of liberty or six days of leave during the deployment. It was scheduled well in advance to allow for people to fly their spouses out. Though there were a few tight connections, EVERY person who wanted to take leave or...

we got temp paper tags at OCS. I've always believed you return a salute if you are given one, after that you correct as necessary. If I ever saw a chief light a middy up (or anyone else, O-3 and below) for returning a salute I'd have some words with them - that's complete BS. A buddy...

what % get .50s?

Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die:

did the string prevent a cone of silence?

of course the goal is to not "feel" it too much! let me tell you about some low levels in a P-3! There I was, short final....

Those pens are made by evil blind people and should be freed from their repressed lives as mere government functionaries! FREE THE PENS NOW!!!

I posted a reply on the UCSC website: "Nice to see that SAW supports freedom of speech and equal opportunity. What a bunch of hypocrites. Their actions only demonstrate that they have zero moral fiber. They are little different from the Nazis in their efforts to repress speech contrary to...

why do you think they call us SWOviators? :icon_tong I like the ball cap because it serves a purpose in additon to covering your head (i don't like to wear hats anyhow, but if i have to, i would prefer it serve some use, i.e. keep the sun out of my eyes).

I really like the nice CNT covers, the ones from Abbots. They're comfortable, look nice, and easy to wash. Though i usually wear a command ball cap now (with LT insignia), I still have a nice khaki cover for when the E's swipe my ball cap (as they have recently done....again....).

and that's why they're the bad guys.

CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee (AP) -- The only conscientious objector to receive a Medal of Honor in World War II has been buried at a national cemetery with a 21-gun salute. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/04/04/doss.funeral.ap/index.html

We need this guy in Whidbey...
