OK, I wanted to get the video before I responded. I saw this clip about a year ago, still entirely just as funny. Few things say as much about someone as their ability to make fun of themselves. "Sanford and Son"??? ANYONE who has had to set up an old school SLAM (mod 1) computer can...

It's FAM 1. Suck it up, study hard, and see what happens. If it happens again, and you know your stuff cold, your On-Wing should do the right thing and support sending you to spin-n-puke. Puke your guts out in the machine (do they still play "Master of Puppets"?) and push through. I knew...

Agreed. If you're that flipped out about it, follow Wink's advice and call the damn tower. Otherwise let it go.

Seriously, Road, being prior SWO you should have the "one handed two finger spread" down by now(preferred method for the single-mano garrison donning). Personally not a fan of the command ball cap. Seen too many toolbox senior officers sporting the "flat bill, not broken in" farmer look...

Jesus Christ it's zab sea story night here's another one In yet another attempt to keep morale low, the powers that be decided to require khakis on Monday in a squadron where bags were the norm, in addition to enforcing the "no-flight, no-sim, nowhere near an airframe = no bag" rule. The...

First of all, I'd bet that decision was prompted by NON Aircrew Chiefs. No flying Chief worth a damn would fvck over the folks he flies with. About 2 years ago, my old wardroom wanted to put in an order for brown boots for anyone wanting some. Our Skipper was a stickler for uniformity, so...

Well SHEEEEEEE-IT. May as well have gotten the gouge from Ellyson himself....I love being right. and some VP love too...knock me over with a feather... (still working on ID'ing your Catalina A4s)

The message refers to soliciting prostitutes as a form of supporting human slave trade. I don't think anyone is worried about some airman smuggling 10 hooks in the hydraulic service center.

uh. no.

Take it easy Herc. I'll stand up with Fly Navy and say this IS NOT indicative of the USAF as a whole, nor is it something that is exclusive to that service. Sh!t like this happens every few years, just switch the service and community around.

I've always been told it originated from guys actually wearing their covers while flying with some type of headset on, therefore "crushing" the cover, aka "combat crush". I can't for the life of me remember the origins..this is the first time I've ever heard the tailhook thing. AF guys do it...

Unfortunately, speaking as a guy who has been 'caught and punished' for boozing in my bag on more than one occasion, that doesn't work out so well these days. Emphasis on force protection, especially in foreign areas (plus, me getting caught AND being the FP officer...you get the idea)...

Anyone about to take command on a squadron already has enough desk models to fill a shelf. If you really want to get this guy something, make it personal. What are his hobbies? Does he fish? A nice rod with an engraving, maybe a reel. Cigar enthusiast? Desk humidor, with a few stogies...

Road....bust your a$s to stay in the cockpit until you have no other choice. (SEE! I even called it a cockpit.)

Agreed on the license plate frame. I had one after I selected, and took non-stop sh!t for it from my friends....

What NOT to do on CORTRAMID: Don't tell any chicks you hook up with you're a Harrier pilot, only to run into her Monday morning for a safety brief where she's your corpsman. good way to lose a scholarship

I'm also curious when I've received any "sensitivity training" in the last 7 years... Does the time my Opso told me to stop saying "Haji" count?

3 posts. Way to make an impression quickly. Make sure to let us all know how the APPLICATION process goes.

Here's one I always thought was obvious, but more and more I meet people who break it. Same set of wings from your ceremony. I've never worn a different set other than the ones I was winged with. Definitely feel like I'd lose my mojo if I had to use other ones... maybe I'm just crazy...

That was my understanding as well, the digital pattern so far has the edge in the tests over the standard cammie pattern with paint drips and mechanical fluids. KBay...I wear khakis almost every day and you are 100% correct, my coffee spills are undetectable.

the truth maybe? if it is in fact still in there, just answer the questions honestly. worry about the stuff in your control, like studying for the parts of the test you can actually prepare for.

I "pop" mine. I know it's unpopular amongst the BDCP crowd on here, but I'm good looking enough to pull it off. What can I say...

polo shirts: Polo shirt under the flight suit. Totally illegal, but SO funny, SO cheesy. Plus on det, all you have to do is change pants. Quick turnaround to hotel bar happy hour. (i accidentally put this in your original post, but then fixed it. 4 beers and I'm already jacking up...

I will definitely make a full report post when they get here. 500 bucks (1 jacket, 2 pants, 2 shirts, covers, ties) later...I had to have a set before they are phased out and being a Hawaii guy I fvcking hate the cold. No heat in my office and it's getting worse here every day...

I thought of another one. I ALWAYS try to drop a grumper before I step. Even if I don't feel the urge, I plan for a good 20 minutes with some good reading material.

Ya gotta realize, I totally miss the wardroom BS sessions, they just don't do that here. I'm slowly bringing some "antics" into the mix (polo shirts, pranking the O-4s, aviation greens), but these guys need to step up the fun factor a little. Rep points...if there was a way i could parlay...

OK, the thread about the super cool old wings on ebay and Road’s post about the wings his friend bought him got me thinking. Anybody out there crazy/superstitious like me? What are your nuances and ticks you rely on when flying? Here’s a few I have, and some of my buddies’... In 34's and...

Good Lord, I hope you haven't actually touched them. I'd be hesitant to even look at them. But then again I'm a superstitious pvssy. I even refused to look at my wings in the display case at the O-Club when I was in advanced. What a weirdo. Me, I mean. Pretty nice gesture by your...

Sci-fi? Fvcking NERDS. I bet the Webmaster had a game of Dungeons and Dragons in the galley as well. I KEED I KEED. If you haven't read Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" you're missing out. About 100 times better than the movie. Anything by Palahniuk (Fight Club) is fantastic, almost...

Just wait til you step it up and get some mess dress. all-the-way nice.

Just a discussion I had with someone recently. Guess which statement was mine? Useless knowledge annoys me. back to endlessly discussing a policy no one will be able to change

Dude, it's something you'll wear for your COMMISSIONING and WINGING. Pretty important events, at least I should hope you would think so. You will take a TON of pictures that you will have forever. Think about how many weddings you'll end up wearing them for. Why not buy a nice set that...

Jesus Christ, you guys fvcking talk a lot.

Those guys were supposed to be SNAs? I think I watched about 5 minutes of that show before I realized that the CO was the husband of Barbara "your airplanes are too noisy for my poodle" Streisand. That, and his ridiculous pompadour. Nice look Johnny Bravo, don't blow a fuse with that hair...

Some people use the title under their screen name in the corner. I like to use mine for witty remarks...most of the time...

Some Mods and Super Mods have full access, to allow quick action when necessary. I can access everything, but generally try to keep my nose out of forums I have little to no experience with (BDCP, Marine OCS) unless something (opsec, flaming, for example) becomes an issue requiring immediate...

I've seen it, it's pretty funny. There's no reason to stop making funny videos. Maybe just avoid doing one about your crank and then posting it all over the internet. Don't brush this off as a USAF thing only. If this had been Navy guys, I'm sure some dork would have dimed them out as...

TGIFriday's "Can I interest you in some pizza shooters? Extreme Fajitas?"

Not ALWAYS a mil field or INTL airport, the primary issue is security, and if some po-dunk field has whatever/whoever considers an adequate force, you can park there.

Fezz...here's your first public warning. If you want to continue posting, stop flaming people's posts.

Hmm...anyone here know all the details? No one? So if you did know the details would you be at liberty to post them? No one? Oh yeah...that's right... So does anyone want to speculate on this ad nauseum and go into a "If that was me" discussion based on something we have a complete...

COULD you? I dunno, I guess, but good luck. You're gonna have your hands so full as it is between qualifying, flying, studying, and then your ground job...why add to the pain? This isn't a question of going "above and beyond"...it just isn't feasible. If you want to be "that guy" who is...

Just a few observations: A year ago I left a Fleet squadron that had mandated all-hands PT every Monday at 1630. Usually an hour of the typical push-ups, sit-ups, circuit course, and a run. Did it accomplish anything? Bottom line, no. I'll elaborate. You had your fitness buffs who were...

Beau, you have no idea. 11 personalities...if you can make it through a tour you should get a degree in psychology. The psychotic Flight Engineer, the pessimistic 2P. the idiot-savant navigator...the narcissist Plane Commander constantly flexing and combing his hair...ahem...it's f-ing drama...

Get the "Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog" DVD. There's a great bit where he's on Waikiki screaming at Japanese tourists. "Enjoying the beach? REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR! THAT'S RIGHT, I BLAME YOU" So wrong, yet sooooo funny.

I think I had that guy in the blue shirt in the middle picture for a BI sim...

If you check in "en ingles", they respond to you in english. However all military and light civilian traffic use spanish 90% of the time. Pretty scary, if you consider how busy Santiago International is with the big boys coming in, using english, and controllers using both languages. Part...

Really, what's the spool up over? Even with a URL designator, these guys are never gonna run a squadron or ship (at least without a real SWO qual at a minimum).

I'll go to base ops and the tower on Friday and ask 'em. Plus, the guys/gals in the tower can finally meet the clown that tries to speak espanol on the radios.
