    Air Force declassifies elite aggressor program

    I know where you're coming from. Bottom line, the system works. As far as bailout, I'm flying a P-3A from 1964 these days, no chutes. I miss the option. The crews here don't know any better, but it still nags at me.

    Warfare Insignia

    From a mod thread, by the Webmaster: "I only want to stick to the two pairs of wings.... those were a pain to get working and formatted, and I don't want to go down that for all the assorted chest candy that the Navy has." "I established the wings so it was easier to identify those that...

    Motivational Statement

    If it stays along the lines of "you're not answering the question they're asking", "it's way too long", or "you mean to use they're instead of their", I see no problem with it. Bottom line, we're agreeing to disagree. John will make the call.

    Motivational Statement

    Which still won't help when it comes to flow and elements of style. Not many college students can deliver a professionally acceptable statement on the first try. I know I couldn't. By that logic, having anyone, from your parents to your friends to your recruiter review and make suggestions...

    FlyNavy is right. Type "Vance" into the search function and read everything. If you still have questions, start a new thread. edit: I typed "Vance" and "t-37" http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132228&highlight=vance...

    Back to the original subject, when you do the negative portion of the sit-up, make sure you aren't engaging your abs at all. Totally relax your abs and "fall" back. You should be able to crank out 20 more at least. Personally, I focus on doing 4 fast sets of 25. It's worked for the last 12...

    Reconsideration Statement Proofread

    I seriously think I missed my calling. Or I should have at least majored in English. It drives me nuts when I see anything official (whether it's a STA-21 app or something from one of my peers) that isn't at least spell and grammar checked. It isn't hard.

    F-18 joyride?

    Dunno about other squadrons, or what the Fleet's doing now, but P-3 Space-A was a non-issue when I was in Hawaii. We didn't discuss it or offer it. I saw it happen once, and again, this was a former (WWII) squadron Aircrew guy. Skipper's discretion.

    Not sure what you mean. As in friends/family have up-chits from a Flight Doc? Sure, with the proper permission. If not, and you mean "I read the regs and XXXX would pass a flight physical", then the answer is no. Generally. That said, I've seen Skippers give the OK for PAO flights with...
