I love YOU man!!!

Jet pilot...lawyer...doctor...it's all real easy to do. You just wish for it...and it happens. My advice... And don't forget "It's all about the fun"...and it's easy.

Witty one with panache, he thinks he is.

Okay..he's eaten humble pie...come on in. How's the lacrosse game going? I taught at Navy for 3 years (02-05)and we had a good team.

Piper Down..We've got a piper down...sorry couldn't help myself. Vanity...you're world "infamous" I've seen the article below in the Stars and Stripes and today in the Bahrain Tribune. Stay Safe.

Queen?

Blah, blah, blah, blah.... I smell a poser.

Get a good stash job you enjoy. Work at DWEST, survival school or find a squadron that will sponsor you for 6 months of no-cost TAD. Do OHARP duty in your home town, work with the PAO on base, give tours, etc... Lots of ways to "contribute."

Someone explain...please....

If I had a nickel for every time the F-14 has been called the F-15 and vice versa, I'd have at least $2.65. But they look "exactly" alike...HUH? Look alike? WTF?

In the US...no...in North Korea....yes.

What was the cause of the engine failure. Usually you have a pretty good idea. When I was Air Ops on a carrier we had an attrite from the HSL rag as an assistant working the ATO shop. He was building hours for a civilian career. He was used to flying C-172, but got checked out in a Piper...

Her weight??? It's right at 105 pounds, is it important?

Now that's capacitance!!!

I found the new style of forum depiction is always very slow to load. I went to User CP and changed the forum style back to the original and the pages load almost immediately. So I'm using that style now. Why would the new look always take a long time to fill in?

FACT: Being a Shoe will definitely not help you in flight school. New standard issues SWO black shoes:

Wrong. Huh? You really need to know what you're talking about around here. We've had tower flowers as long as I've been in (21 years). CATCC reps do not stand TAO. What?!!! Ships' company officers are TAOs in combat. CATCC has it's own manning. The airwings sends reps to CATCC during...

Come on now folks...do you really think it was just "coincidence" he got the last combat trap in the Tomcat? Unless we can get an input from JO in Vf-31 or VF-213, I don't think we'll really know.

I did on one occasion order a very unruly drunk sailor be cuffed and put in wire stokes. As much for his own safety as the Shore Patrol. He was a very obnoxious drunk and we had a corpsman check him periodically to make sure he wasn't dead. He was too unruly to be allowed on a liberty launch...

Dove/Quail shot pellets do not flow through arteries to the heart.

This is BS when the CAG steals the glory...as if being the CAG is not enough.... When the USS John C Stennis was coming up on some remarkable number of traps for the whole carrier like 50,000 (can't remember the exact number). The CAG was flying in a Tomcat to get the "magic trap" we even...

Clip...magazine...okay...I get the point....gun nut, I am not. See picture for gun nut reference.... But hey, thanks for the correction. :)

We learned on snub nose .38s (late 80s) ..we were issued .45s (early 90's)....then we went to Beretta 92FS' (later in 90's). We did a squadron buy of guns prior to Gulf War 1 with an LT who had a FFL. I got a Glock 19 which I flew with and a Beretta 92SB Type M. Still got both of them. We...

From CNN: "Late Show with David Letterman," CBS "Good news, ladies and gentlemen, we have finally located weapons of mass destruction: It's Dick Cheney." "But here is the sad part -- before the trip Donald Rumsfeld had denied the guy's request for body armor." "We can't get Bin Laden, but...

They just want to make sure you're not going to turn into this? Grandpa: Are we there yet? Homer: No Grandpa: Are we there yet? Homer: No Grandpa: Are we there yet? Homer: No Grandpa: ........Where are we going?

Shouldn't this thread be in the new "Gun Forum"? :)

I wouldn't mind SWOs if they were like aviators..... "The Navy Calls Them Aviators, Says They're Better Than Pilots."

Then there's the old joke about just staying home, throwing your money in the trash, stuffing a dirty sock in your mouth and banging your head against a wall. You feel the same way in the morning as after a hard night of poker playing...

Eyes out of the cockpit when anywhere near an airfield is always a very good idea.

Let me check...yup...last time I looked it's still living in my pants. :icon_rage

What kind of a/c and what kind of deployment, one actually in the sand box or one on a CVN?

I'll start practicing now... "Would you like fries with that???" "I pledge allegiance to the Arches...."

The good old days...back when it was "Nickel Beer Nite" every wednesday...how things have changed...or have they? "Hey mister, you gonna eat that fat?"

Holy Crap A4s..I think I just hurt myself laughing....youda MAN brudda...and I really needed that good laugh today. Works stressing me out big time...Thanks.

Best advice...EVER!!!

My conspiracy theory involves Jim Morrison, Bob Marley and Elvis Pressley, a small monkey and can of lard. But I can't say any more here as "they" are listening...psstt...PM me for details....

I used it on active duty for commercial pilot's license rating training. Already had the ppl.

Gotcha. Thanks. I looked at the dates on the posts and the ones with news clips were also Feb 6th...so I assumed... Which if you spell makes an @ss out of U and me... Shave my head and send me on cruise...no wait that's better than where I am. Okay hold on I've got some BBQing to do...

Question is now where did Feddoc get his info? True rumor...or I saw/heard something on the news... Feddoc?

Crap..I was on shore duty and got a weekend off from my job. Was in the middle of $175m simulator negotiations with McD and boss said take the honeymoon later, so we did. I got just two words of advice: "Don't do it." ...(just kidding...) :)

When I took it, I used my hands. It helped. And with a little practice it becomes more intuitive as to how to interpret the pictures. For example, a horizon down low, means a nose up high, etc...

FITREP Gouge I was forwarded this and found it quite useful. Although most of the junior users of this forum are NOB on their training command FITREPs, they will need this in the near future. Also could be handy if you are stashed and receive a graded FITREP. I keep a folder of every...

I see....

All I remember is F=Ma and you can't push with a string. Now if you want to talk about the laws of thermodynamics and aviation, here goes: "If the heat is not on you, it's on someone else" is quite applicable to aviation and squadron life. Cheers, G

No reason to lock or delete...everything here from start to finish came from news reports on Feb 6th and later. Now if I posted stuff from navy message traffic or names not yet released, that would be bad and eligible for a wrist slap.

Did you see where they cut two 2 km trails into this unspoiled paradise...strike that...formerly unspoiled paradise.

Too old to be getting dumb drunk on keg beer. So wouldn't use it.

Yes, one and the same. He had VF-31 and worked the F-14D Fleet Introduction. He was my boss at COMFITAEWINGPAC in the early 90s. Damn near killed himself one day, popping aspirin like candy, goes off to plays golf, feels really lousy so they take him to Balbo ER. He's sitting there for over an...

He leads a lonely life... Now back to ACM!

I flew with a pilot who used to fight the F-14 down to 0 knots. Actually would intentionally depart the aircraft with the knowledge it would depart in the direction he needed it to go. Then recover with a bunt and re-engage. Bogeys hated it as they figured they had the jet in their sights and it...
