Yep... it gets ridiculous. NATOPS Performance Manual PCL Tactical PCL 4 TACMANs TOP GUN manual Talk about reading material!

Amusing? Sure, but keep it to yourself. You as a new boot out of basic training hasn't exactly done much yourself. In several weeks those guys you're laughing at will be putting on bars and going to fly aircraft, maybe even the aircraft you'll be riding in eventually. IF you get your wish of...

Since the Dissipator doesn't resemble any actual M-16 out there, no, there is no reason. If you were building an A2 model or a straight M-4orgery, then a fixed handle would be good for authenticity. Go with the flattop, you can put optics, etc on there in the future. I have a 16" M4orgery...

I'm not that powerful.

Very true, that's major. That applies to any pipeline. Bad attitude is a fast way to get booted. Yep. Just wait til TACFORM if you aren't there already, and then after that, the ever present Navy method of "Just get in position, I don't care how".

Yeah, I'm ok with President Bush sporting wings... he actually did fly military. It's not like he goes around wearing em everyday, it was for that moment in time.

At the risk of continuing a threadjack... A single bullet wound to the chest has a 80+% survival rate if you reach a hospital in the first hour.

e-bay is your friend

Jared would beg to differ.

Downloading copyrighted material onto an NMCI computer... you're just asking for trouble. Let's go download MP3s onto USNA computers while we're at it... oh wait.

That... doesn't change anything. Say 1 737 crashes a year. That's 150 people. Sure, they all died at the same time, but it doesn't match the THOUSANDS that die in car crashes each year. Uh, what? It's more lethal to die from a gun shot than a car crash? I don't think I follow. Hugely so.

They're the same people that want to ban guns when someone flips out. They're afraid of life. It should horrify her how easy it is to get a DRIVING license.

I believe they're all active pilots, at least on the AF side. F-16, F-15 guys, etc.

Yep, keep all the kids in the sandbox.

If there is something the media understands less than the military, it's aviation.

The Cirrus is a pretty advanced ASEL... does it have a data recorder? I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

A cheap ripoff. (to be truthful, never played that one) Bubble Bobble, play that for hours too.

Not Tetris. I can play that nonstop.

Aliens: Total Conversion? Yep, I had that too. Freakin awesome, good work they did. Then Alien vs Predator (game not movie) came out, that was sweet. Like playing the movie.

Hell yeah brotha. I remember waking my sister up constantly with the modem sounds. She didn't like that.

Who here played Wolfenstein as shareware? I did. Who played DOOM when it came out on shareware? I did.

Speaking of older games, for all of you with XBox360, you can now download DOOM off of XBox Live Arcade. Freakin sweet!

That's what VT-2 told me when I went through.

Speaking of, I need to renew my medical certificate.

I got bored 1/4 way through.

No one is "good" at forms after 5 flights, but some people will be better than others. Some will be unsafe, some safe but completely timid (had one girl who would never be in position, she'd be flying a cruise position for parade basically), and some who pick it up faster. In GENERAL, those who...

PPL training in Class B airspace is piss poor headwork.

BTW, the Democrats are blaming... you guessed it.... Bush for NK's alleged test (or non-test?).

Ran out of fuel? So they crash into a building? Even if that's so... how is it relevent? They crashed into a building.

I never said that. The fact is, if you can't fly formation you're not flying jets. If you are a weak instrument pilot, you sure as sh!t aren't going to a single seat pipeline.

They will consider different parts of Primary for platform selection. For example, if you're just sh!tty at formation, you're not going to end up in the jet pipeline... or a poor instrument pilot will also not end up in the jet pipeline.

Yeah, their server has encountered an internal error which prevents it from fulfilling your request...

This isn't even English.

If you have the same videos we do (you should), you should be able to watch it. Ask one of the sim IP types about it. It's wierd.

They can target any wire. Sometimes the 3 wire isn't rigged. So they'll target 2 wire... or maybe 4 wire. Maybe they'll have two wires stripped... yick. The Reagan only has 3 wires, as opposed to the standard 4 wire setup. It's all variable.

No, it's because the FCS throws a fit if you keep rolling. The Blues do it because they know what to look for in the VV to predict WHEN the FCS is going to throw that fit. They never showed you the video in -106 of the Marine doing continuous rolls at low altitude, going OCF, and recovering by...

Look at those big smokey engines on the F-4!

Another jaded T-45 stud... I love it :)

That'd be freakin sweet.

Real life it will target nearly the same exact point each time. You can tell it where to target (you meaning the ship). It's precise enough to leave a consistent dent in the flight deck from the hook impact. At least, this is what I've been told by my instructors who've used it.

I can agree with that :) "It's a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion, it doesn't matter. It's moo." "Have I been living with him too long, or did all that just make sense?"

That... was awful.

I listen to him on my commute in the morning from time to time. Hilarious.

Anything firearms related is by default aviation related ;)

Ooooh the quicksand that is known as Wikipedia. Don't believe everything yous ee on there. Btw, we used to joke that being a Middie was an O-0.

That's because Newsweek (at least in its current form and I doubt it's changed) is so far left it's recockulous. The drivel that comes out of that rag is the worst excuse for "journalism"... I wouldn't wipe my a$$ with that magazine. I'll read the New York Times if I want a liberal slant on...

Neither does any practical handgun round. A .45 to the arm won't "knock" a person down, despite how many times it's quoted. Pistol bullets are "weak" (relatively speaking). They're not energy monsters, unless you're shooting some of the large bore hunting cartridges. Anecdotal at best. If...

What happens when two UAV's crash. Is there a Safety Center investigation? NTSB? Does anyone care? :D

Saw his picture in Approach magazine. If you have to lose a finger, well... that's ideal :)
