If you are an SNA and you live on Perdido Key...you will shoot yourself for the having to do the drive to Whiting every day if you end up there. And if you get Whiting for Primary, you can't break a lease as it's a local PCS not > 50 miles away. Consider your commute. Drive the route you...

You're being sarcastic, right? Service ceiling of the F-14 was (and for few more months still is) 50,000 feet. What squadron in DS were you in?

Yes, yes,my friend we are from Morroco...no one moment...I is mistake...perhaps we are poor desert nomads from Saudi...yes, yes, my friend...okay thank you very much...which is way to jet flying school? More than just SOCOM at MacDill...

Saw that ealier in the month...ouch. One runway, no diverts. Hate to be that crew. I see no foam on the runway. Usually a sign of a planned gear up landing. Hope there is a good reason...

I hear the taste is a delicious cross between California Condor and Bald Eagle... :tongue2_1

I use a Garmin Streetpilot. We swap it between our cars. The new ones are better as they have a GB drive with all North American maps contained within. I'd recommend dropping about $650 for a Garmin Streetpilot (newer version). Well worth the cost.

"The plane was just fine..."

I heard that several democrats were outraged that the FAA had let lightning occur near his plane.

I saw this and was amazed. Bzzzapppp!!!!

Ambien will make you do odd stuff, like wake up at midnight binge eat and never know it...so go the latest news reports on it. It's a handy excuse.... Still he was driving while under the inlfuence.

That was really funny...I was laughing so loud people came over to my desk to see what I was looking at.... I think I found my next Avatar....

Great news. Now I want to hear more about this "very well paying civilian job" you are leaving. What was it? Management/blue collar? High tech/sales?

There was a picture of a Las Vegas Hilton sign and the "girl from Ipanema" elevator music was playing as the screen scrolled something like.... "Due to lack of interest, this year's Tailhook Convention was cancelled." That was it....

MEXICO CITY -- A Varig airlines cargo plane from Brazil sits parked at the Mexico City airport with its nose up in the air after the cargo was unevenly distributed. Brazil's troubled flagship airline, Varig, is reeling under an estimated US$3.3 billion (euro2.7 billion) in debt and is currently...

high fast come down all the way...sh!t hot break. My favorite CQ nametag as an FRS instructor was" NEPIC LOBAR LT USN "Is that French?" not enough power in close, low flat at the ramp....ahhhhhhhhh.

They practice the "voice" a lot.

Girls, girls...easy now...wasn't this thread about pilot's life on a carrier. In my case it was easy....they provided transport for the mission commander...me. Life on the boat is oddly asomewhat easy routine to fall into. The daily routine and such are familiar and as aviators we are...

Ahh you mean in P-6/7 just west of FLETA Hot? Oh yeah, this has never happened before. WOW NEWS FLASH!!! I remember flying out there and ""maybe" breaking the number while headed east...wife mentioned some noise she'd heard when I came home from work. I asked if it was around 1430...why yes it...

Best quote ever!! A4s, you're killing me...:icon_smil

So how about recalling a few Generals that are bad mouthing the SECDEF and letting them have a chat with the SECDEF.

We have lots of coalition folks here in C5F. So sometimes trying to figure rank and whether or not to salute is not easy. My rule of thumb is when in doubt, salute, while it may not be required for a coalition warrant for example, it helps build relationships with our allies. I make a point...

No, and it will be retired by Sep 06 completely. A few may fly as T&E platforms. Search for "Tomcat" here for more info.

We have quarters here in Bahrain once a month or so. Everyone stands at attention for about 20 minutes while certain awardees get recognized...in the heat. Someone always does a faceplant. Several will start wobbling and get carried off by someone. Try standing at attention in the sun for...

Wants me to register at military.com to enter the site...I'll pass. Anyone else get that? "Gain Easy Access -- FREE! You're one step away from entering the military multimedia center on the Internet! Get crackin'!"

They're just trying to get you to think a little bit... I guarantee they don't want you to weaponeer munitions at this point. They want an answer like...."I'd use a cluster munition to take out the runways temporarily and destroy aircraft on the tarmac" or "I'd crater the runway and...

All I got was: John Wayne Airport (SNA), owned and operated by the County of Orange is the only commercial service airport in Orange County, California. School Nutrition Association: The Voice of Child Nutrition. ASFSA is a non-profit professional association representing 60000 members of the...

I followed my 3 stars lead...in wash khakis I wore no ribbons, just wings and a nametag. In whites or Gaberdine (dress) khaki he would only wear the top three. I did the same. Sometime I'd wear all 5+ rows...but rarely and usually only for formal occasions. Never had any hearburn over that.

Note the reporting source. You're outnumbered by an uncontrolled crowd. You leave. I agree. I love the way it is worded to look like we turned tail and ran. As was stated earlier I respect these recruiters (guys/gals) who did not make a scene by clocking a protestor or two. As was said...

No offense but what do u think is Mav's problem? [/threadjack]

I work with a guy started in Lamps Helos, went to P-3Cs and is now without a community most likely not going to make O-4. Never spent enough time anywhere to get a good reputation or FITREP.

For the unwashed...not the whole lid...cut out a section the size of your ribbon rack. :)

Never seen that for an officer, unless in a foreign port on liberty overseas, in 21 years. What base/community are you in? Have only seen this for junior enlisted personnel. Never officers. Again, what the heck community is that. Never had that done to me, ever. Have never seen this for...

Fun Rhino facts from the San Diego Zoo http://www.sandiegozoo.org some are applicable.... • Don't be fooled by a rhino's lumbering size—a black rhino can thunder along at 40 miles per hour (64 kilometers per hour)! • A group of rhinos is sometimes called a “crash”—an appropriate term for a...

There used to be some stories around about why it was called the Rhino...if I remember from when they CQ'd on the Stennis from 125... Called it the Rhino cause it: - Can't see very far - Has short legs (not true really..better than C/D) - Can get up and go real fast for short burts - Can dish...

I keep a box of all the old ribbons, backings, medals, etc. Always seem to have spares. I always brought my shoebox of junk on cruise and it came in real handy when someone lost a ribbon or attachment. I use Ultrathins now. I have the top three and also have a full set for dress up time. If...

If you resubmit your application, you control the game this time. You have a job, which provides security, so if you get the contract you want, you sign, if not, you're still set up okay in the civilian sector. I'd say resubmit, you have nothing to lose if this is what you want to do. r/ G

You really have no idea how you did this? I would think it might have hurt at the time.

This is your only BIG drawback?... I guess it could be a problem for you if you're still pubescent...

In the other realm...best I've done was 2.0 mach at 50,000 feet. Could have gone higher, but didn't have my pressure suit on...

Not low enough...you can only tie the record for low altitude flight, not set it.

I heard it was a keg of beer chilled by the pool by Friday at 1600... Don't do it again and learn from it...is all you really need to do.

Could this be the answer...which is higher?

My cover doesn't match my khakis...no one cares. It will get sweat stained, etc. Just wash it once in a while. Remember too big and it looks like a rudder in the wind, might as well be a SUPPO. (we have a SUPPO here who wears a cover 2 sizes to big, looks like a manilla envelope on his head)...

What % get it?
