For handgun ammunition, at least, I've been going with Blazer aluminum-cased from Natchez shooters supply.

I can only get about half of it, but it appears that they did an aerial refueling demo (how exciting) at the airshow. I think the talking head at the end was talking about how to sequence aerobatic maneuvers. Congrats, you have a $30 million aerobatic aircraft/target drone.

Not, as some of you would assume, due to Obama, but due to the financial crisis and the consequent tightening of the government's budget. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/03/washington/03military.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print

I wasn't aware if Otto was referring to BDCP candidates (of which I know jack shit), or active duty in general. Active duty are bound by the rules 24/7.

Ahem, obstruction of correspondence? (18 USC 1702) There's a reason the SI's have you open the mail in front of them and not just open it a priori. I wonder if that was the intent of "screening" mail.

The list covers all the selectable MOS's out of TBS, I think (except for SNA/SNFO, but all the platforms are covered), so what do they mean by critical skills? I may have missed a niche one, but they even include LAAD, which I though was a dying branch. Any notable exceptions? The only one I see...

Where is this trail?

Pre-game dump is very nice. However, you have to carb load for a 1.5 mile run?

Proceedings publishes stuff about the Marines and Coast Guard, too; they have an annual Marine issue.

Like in the parasail thread, you have to think twice about training that will break someone if improperly conducted. Students will make mistakes when they learn, and relying on a student to use proper technique when they are learning is a poor safeguard - it definitely shouldn't be the only one...

So your opinion is worth more the older, higher ranking, and longer serving you are. Gotcha. Well, that settles it, I'm voting Obama. I'm just a butterbar and these guys impress me. I, of course, purposely left out McPeak and Clark.

The military leans in favor of a veteran. I'm shocked. And what is the conclusion we should draw from this? Is this supposed to be some "tacit" endorsement of McCain by the military? Why not drop the pretense and just coup him into power like some tinpot dictatorship?

Niiice!

That really deserves a pirate patch.

Holy crap. When joboy was still joboy!

That design reminds me a lot of a Confed Hellcat.

The idea is apparently still alive: http://www.militarytimes.com/news/2008/10/gns_space_troops_101408/ http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article4969025.ece

Reduced crosswind limitations for SWO's?:D

I see we have two (maybe one) new entries for gullible. :D

http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138073 Wine World, Four Winds, and World Market were pretty good.

It was more a comment on your choice of sources. And besides, those numbers, as noted by the Chief, are irrelevant, unless you'd like to start a discussion on whether or not the wealthy should be taxed more for having more money.

"Research for Broadly Shared Prosperity" Well, at least they don't even pretend to be unbiased.

Oy.

"a supervisor". Also, it's not the experience of being promoted that has developed your leadership skills, more accurately, the promotions are a recognition of your leadership ability, and the leadership positions have developed your skills. Work that in however you'd like. Broken analogy...

Agreed with all of PSW's (looks like you haven't incorporated them yet), except: Because of the first clause "Since I first enlisted", the present perfect continuous (hey, I had to google it) is appropriate, i.e. "I have continually pushed myself".

Way to backpedal. Compare with: So what was the point of posting that, other than to point out that you personally disagree(vehemently, no less)?

She's probably a civilian contractor, and in any case what does being liberal have to do with it? You talk a lot of smack for a guy who's still applying.

The X-35 only had the split doors for the duct fan. Maybe they added a top intake for the turbofan? Edit: Nope, there were 2 sets of doors on the X-35 too (too large to link). Looks like the rear one is an intake for the engine.: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/F-l3_lift_fan.jpg

Oh boy. Hard for the Pakis to deny that one.

Embedded goodness

Since the growler isn't in service yet, how do you expect the Navy to be offering bonuses to retain growler pilots? And didn't I already link to the Navy version of this thread? RIF

Since you don't seem to have taken the hint, it's not the same for Navy/Marines. The current thread on the Navy ACCP is here: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?p=482645 And the key phrase is "years of commissioned service". So no, your prior service time won't affect your...

Hmm, or you could click the link and find out:

I heard guys were getting pulled for IA's straight from the RAG. (Waitaminute.....)

Huh? Preliminary data collected at OCC? Since when did they let candidates on the range?

Shop around, too. I got quoted 2-3k/year from a few places for my SV650 (granted, I have a shoddy driving record - 1yr driving experience, 2 speeding tix, 1 at fault accident). For whatever reason Progressive covered me for $700 a year for the same bike. I've got to admit the 650 has a handful...

You need only look at Smedley Butler to recognize that heroism in war is not a political credential. I am frankly unimpressed with how conservatives hold up the military like we are infallible, and try to point to purported (MilitaryTimes Poll) evidence that the military is pro-McCain as...

Well, how is he supposed to go after his character in this format? "We should invest in energy....and speaking of which, Obama was in cahoots with a terrorist named Ayers." He got the dig in with Fannie Mae lobbying of Obama, but there isn't much opportunity to really go after character without...

Well, clearly the debate was pretty boring if we're arguing over how Obama is pronouncing foreign names.:icon_wink And besides, compared to Matthews and Olberman, is this really much more inane?

Rubs someone the wrong way? Yes, it rubs me the wrong way when people switch languages mid-sentence. How about simply following English pronounciation rules because you're speaking....English.....and communicating with someone else who speaks......English. Pronouncing it "your way" is either...

Well, what's the alternative, the same old stump speech to a friendly audience? I enjoyed seeing them play off each other. Which reminds me, the two were at a 9/11 panel on civic service at Columbia which I have to dig up the video from.

Ok, then, why don't you go to france and educate them that Etas-Unis or Amerique is really America? Go to France, speak their language. Go to pakistan, prounounce it their way. In the US, pronounce it our way.

A random sample running back through in tivo shows Obama giving the E-ran and Paaahkistan, and Brokaw and McCain using the more standard U.S. pronunciations. It annoyed the shit out of me and a quick google search indicates that's more accurate with the native pronunciation, for whatever that's...

Obama's pronounciation of Iran and Pakistan just ring of "look at me I'm special" syndrome. I don't go pronouncing France "La France" or China "ZhongGuo" when I'm speaking English, so why do so for other countries? English, MOFO, do you speak it?

Good on Brokaw for keeping them honest. Right, Priviledge, or Responsibility? Pretty clear-cut.

Should have gone with "pork" and "my friends"
