Being married to a water born mammal and then getting taken to the cleaners by said mammal, and then living in a trailer - supposedly in flight school - what do you expect? You gotta DO something to get a FITREP that says something. :D:D:D

Repost - but still funny. Hey, 'tis fitrep season for LTs shortly. I should have use some of these...

I never mustered much with A pool, I was stashed at the survival pool. That was an awesome stash job. Swim every morning, screw with people in the SWET chair, fish cookouts every friday. Not bad at all.

you gotta be f'ing kidding me! Did he die a horrible death?

I did one of these when I applied for a cop job prior to the Navy. The guy interviewing me knew me well, he'd been a mentor of sorts to me for years - but it still sucked, it was still a terrible experience. Likely, if they ask me to do it in the Navy for a specific job, I'll turn them down...

Wow, every high school kid's dream just came true. I think you'll see an increase in applications to the TSA!

wow, that's f'ing cool! I love the C-17, very neat plane. By far one of the best models i've seen.

OH! Sure, you go through the IUT and now you're all big and bad, wanting to drop checkrides on unsuspecting JOs! Man, are all instructors dicks? On yeah, we are :icon_smil

Chainsaw.

Do you write posts with a thesaurus by your side? :D

Well, they're worth a lot of money anyhow :icon_tong

Next time I run into her, will do.

I know, i'm from Juneau - 5%. Buuut, the state doesn't dictate those taxes.

Sierra Nevada...you suck. I'm so tired of japanese beer... The air force does not know how to properly stock a class-6. Interesting debate, but i'm gonna have to go with... POINT PALIN!

Uh, cut taxes in Alaska? WTF? We don't have personal taxes up there...

"...not got to allow..." WTF?!

I'm really getting tired of the word "Maverick"...

It was somewhat buried, hard to pull out - we were specifically looking for it. But since you missed it, you should flog yourself. PAY ATTENTION!!! There will be a test!

She did, actually, but towards the end of her answer to that question. My wife, who's watching this with me, was waiting for her and Biden to mention the personal responsibility aspect of this economic situation (i hesitate to call it a crisis). Palin gave a verbose answer, but did address...

I think Biden is a good speaker, but I feel like he's talking down to me - not as bad as Gore, but kinda like a teacher might, not quite personable enough. Palin is just a bit too folksy, not quite professional enough.

not super impressed on some of her middle east answers.

I agree, certainly her recent performance does not disqualify her - but it has hurt their campaign. That being said, i'm so far quite impressed with her performance tonight. I think she's kicking Biden's ass.

Here we go!

don't make an ass outta yourself ANYWHERE! And watch out for your buddy, even if you don't like him/her - they still represent the NAVY.

Admittedly it has been a while since I went through, but i wore my personal glasses most of the time.

I really don't think Gov. Palin is going to do well. She delivers a great speech, but when interviewed she is, IMHO, terribly unimpressive. I agree with A4s though, if she does well tomorrow, dispelling the growing opinion that she's not in touch with international affairs (or anything...

Yes, I do not feel that I can be impartial unless there are pictures of this girl presented. If you want objectivity, give us pictures.

with those little jets, i doubt they put out enough heat to draw that crappy missile.

Man, i could go for a hero right now...

well, admittedly I didn't pay crap for the gouge, but i did get gouge and it was good. BTW, despite being totally wasted (good night out on the town. Has anybody else seen an AF O-5 on shore patrol? I have, and it was funny), and watching Top Gun on AFN, i just noticed that this thread's...

Yes, yes it was!

What's the worst that could happen?

I want one in a bad way.

No, they are pirates. You know what they say, one man's pirate is another man's privateer!

Hmm... but it's still Bush's fault right? That's what all the news people are saying. This article does not support that. I think it should be ignored.

Dude, come on, that's just too easy. That's pretty much required watching for every JO. you'll never make MC if you don't watch that movie (and you'll suck <more> at life).

Especially them - when's the last time a GOOD product came out of China?

It's 'cuase of your ex.

That Kirov class is pretty badass, and F'ING HUGE! What a beast! It is armed to the f'ing teeth. Of course, it might just explode on its own accord, but impressive none-the-less.

Mt. Baker in Washington gives you a whole dollar off. no kidding...

Have any of you flown with that CAT IIIC ILS? The idea gives me the willies, but from what I understand the civvies do it all the time. Any input?

Looks like a great rockeye target!

It's easy to hate the PAR when most of the ones you do line you up nicely on the taxiway, or would fly you into a mountain/hill. In NUW I got many a terrible PAR for practice and I was pretty disenchanted with the whole thing. One dark and stormy night...well, actually it was clear and a...

Actually, not even close. the P-3 carries 20K more gas than a regular 737 (~40 vs ~60). The P-8 will suck down a LOT of gas when they are close to the deck. The 737 is designed, like most planes, to operate way high. Down low, props have a significant advantage in that regard.

Isn't there some quote around here by some old dude about things changing yet staying the same...?

Oh and there's HAL from the top rope! Man, he never saw the People's Elbow coming, did he? :eek: :D

Oh man, that would suck. It was bad enough when they were taking F-16 drivers during their first tours! Now these kids won't even have the chance to fly a fleet aircraft! I wonder if they could recruit for UAV pilots. I'm sure somebody would volunteer...

Great sea story! Man, we used to be so cool... In all seriousness though, the above is absolutely true. We call it "Under-performing" the other guy. Of course, we'd get owned (or "pnwed" for your juniors) by a missile. There is an unconfirmed story of one of those CIA blackop P-3s...

They don't really take much runway. Compared to a helo they do I suppose.
