    Argentina moves to blockade Falklands?

    As an aside, the people of Argentina are Argentines, not Argentinians. Like Flash said, the FPV is in serious trouble, and the parallel to 1982 is, minus the Junta, is interesting to say the least. Regardless, any attempt to enforce this "blockade" would be national-level suicide.

    Argentina moves to blockade Falklands?

    It's less the capabilities of the Brits and moreso ARG's lack thereof.

    Argentina moves to blockade Falklands?

    The Kirchners have a long history of this kind of thing. Goopscoop, phrog nailed it. You are woefully misinformed.

    Flight School Very Competitive?

    This isn't an interesting question at all. Use the search function on here. Talk to a recruiter. Thread locked.

    Uniforms! Holy Cow! These puppies are expensive! (Bonus: Tax writeoff gouge)

    I have never, ever seen anyone wear a "mini-ribbon," unless you mean those individual lapel pins/tie tacks. Got a picture/web link?

    Tell me it aint true... a two-ship formation Euro Fighter tops 8 F-15

    That guy definitely places in the "Top 10 most obscure research paper topics."

    SERE school (Survival, Escape, Resistance, Evasion)

    Naval Officer's Sword

    Don't buy one until you NEED one. Save your dough. As an O3, I actually NEEDED to own one for an overseas billet, so I went ahead and bought a used one on ebay, 200 bucks, used once, no inscription.

    Naval Officer's Sword

    You can have it, sure. It's the same as the USN sword, except the part that says "US Coast Guard"... I doubt anyone would care if you used it, and if they did, given its history in your family, they're a dick. Looks the same from 3 feet away...

    Airsickness and Helos

    Difference being, you were sitting forward, doing nothing. Sit forward and/or sideways running radios/scopes/cameras, stand up slinging, programming and loading buoys, or God forbid try to make a fresh keg of coffee and you'll know what he was getting at. Not a dig, just clarification.

    Are stories of the SWO community valid?

    I don't give a motherfuck if you added "Sir" or not. You and your minimal real-world experience need to pack sand, learn to infer meaning in text, and shut the fuck up. See you in a week MIDN.

    New UAV pilots 'winged'

    I think you can apply the above statement to any system in the inventory in reference to denial of capability. Que sera sera. You will be assimilated... While we all share your concerns, this is the reality, and "until" there's a major fuckup it's the future. Eat your carrots and keep up...

    New UAV pilots 'winged'

    Do you really think deconfliction ISN'T a top priority for the employment of these assets? Think big picture. The asses on the line if this project results in a mid-air are far above our paygrades. The issue is being handled. Again, we aren't talking high-school RC aeroclub. There are...

    Ugliest Aircraft Submissions....

    I actually saw one of these (now owned by a foreign air force) in person. It was parked in a hangar that had not been built for something that size. So as I walk around the corner on the way back from a weather brief, I see that gonad-looking nose sticking out of holes in a set of modified...

    Marine "A"C-130s AKA "Harvest Hawk"

    ISR means many things to many people, dependent upon the user and the mission. "What?" could be any number of things, "Why?" It's the USMC, they like organic capability and self-sufficiency.

    Marine "A"C-130s AKA "Harvest Hawk"

    This ISR and your ISR are apples and oranges. Equipping a C-130 to do your job wouldn't be impossible, but Harvest Hawk does not, and will not equal EP-X.

    Classifieds for what? We already have a "houses for sale/rent" and a "hot deals" section.

    Being the FNG (Surviving rites of passage in your first squadron)

    Sort of a condensed NATOPS/NATOPS for Dummies. Takes the ridiculous P-3 Natops and translates the systems explanations into Liberal Arts-ese. Yes, it seems redundant ("why not write the NATOPS in that style?") Regardless, that book is/was money.
