It's called being on Alert.

That helps a lot...:)

I laughed out loud at the "Fobbit" comment....good stuff.

Unless the aptitude just isn't there...

It's been a while since your OP. Which begs the question if you really want it bad, what have you done to better yourself since your post on 6-9-07? I'm being serious...any improvements?

The community around the base is heavy on gang activity, Access to the base is pretty easy...can you say dependants?

Here's Ike coming ashore at Crystal Beach, TX... Not really from Ike, but it's a cool picture.

Tattoos a problem for some Marines. From today's early bird: http://ebird.afis.mil/ebfiles/e20080916629648.html The Marine Corps is no longer allowing troops who have extra-large tattoos on their arms to serve as recruiters or security guards at U.S. embassies. What if it is tribal in...

Hey I resemble that remark.... :D Who is he?

I was in P'Cola in Nov 85. Is this the pissed off Marine that drove over the harleys outside in his jeep and drove to the main get getting chased on his flattened tires/rims (on one tire in any case). If so, yes I remember that place.

I think listings of the Q&A here might not be a bad idea.

I'm interested. We'll see what the WX does...PM sent.

HAL, it's especially hard when you are the first on the scene...before the crowd so to speak. I witnessed a dual fatality Class A flight mishap and had to assume on scene commander at the site. It stays with you for a long time.

Sign that paperwork...quick.

Shows a side we don't often see.

I don't need to read that to know it's Bush's fault. ;)

I used USAA. No problems. Had Countrywide before that.

They were used during bombing to help stabilize the jet. Wings went to 55 and vanes came out when you set the wings to "Bomb." Never heard any issues of cracks. They were another maintenance issue so they were mostly tagged out. The F-14D had none. When you put the wings to aft you could...

Come on yellow....

If you drop the hook early, does it lock back up?

No, most regulations prohibit headphones while jogging on base. Most won't bug you. But...if you get hit by a car with headphones on and the LOD investigation reveals that...who knows?

Not allowed on most military bases if jogging.

Female pilots and NFOs.

Never wore a cover while driving...and always returned the gate guard's salute. Never had a problem.

And he's so much better prepared to handle it this time. :(

"Hey, you people, are just like us."

Tanking on the Iron Maiden More sightseeing And off to Mother

Desert Storm burning oil fields....pic by me. Soot and stuff got on our jets and into our ECS systems. It was like flying through hell. Another of my favorites....direct hit. Pic also by me.

Yes, they're out in that image.

So what should they do...swim nude?...:eek: There could be parasitic drag issues. :o

As long as he doesn't drink and swim...he'll be fine...:o

I know the Wing CO (Capt. Brian Costello, Commander of the Navy's Strategic Communications Wing One) that did the relieveing. Absolutely great guy. I served with him in Bahrain. Very level headed.

Reminds me of this.... "Buck Melanoma, Moley Russel's Wart." Crappy video ...:o

I'm out of town for the weekend or I'd host you in Annapolis. Got a guest room for your next X/C. Get out of DC if you can. Enjoy your time in the "real world."

That was a rough day recovery for them... Now for the Varsity Team...try that at night.

Sooo....who has met A4s?

Speaking of Whoop Ass...you can really buy the stuff.

Don't want to break any copyright laws...so here is a link. Some fantastic images from the Chino Planes of Fame Air Show. Lots of nicely restored warbirds. http://home.comcast.net/~bzee1b/Chino/Chino.html

No, not unless you adopt her.

We need a pic of Fatty McButterpants in here now to make this thread complete.

Now we use a lot less bombs. But sometimes they're bigger...as see in these gifts for Osama in the bomb farm between the island and deck edge on the John C. Stennis, OEF Dec 2001.

"Dootie".....sweet revenge....a plate best served cold.

Here let me clear the air with this... Now Vape Boy, back to your office for you...

Sour grapes anyone?

Help me here....NMM?

That's like narrowing it down to banker or construction worker...Navy Nuke and USMC Air are at opposite ends of the spectrum. What would you really rather do? Fly a plane or a live in a tube? But not as "immense" as your desire to be a best man at a friend's wedding? If you get a slot, I'd...

Speaking of illegal smoking spots...one evening, in port SD on the Stennis, I was CDO and was chatting with the CPO on the enlisted brow when I smelled pot smoke. We both looked up and could see it coming from a sponson above the quarterdeck and venting out a large opening. Quietly and...

You pay it (or contest it as MB did), then pray your insurance doesn't drop you or raise your rates and you press on with life. Simple enough.
