One of the things they recommend via Crossfit is something called "grease the groove," which is simply doing a large volume of work over a long period of time by breaking the number of reps in any given set down to a manageable number. If you max out at nine pullups, where do you feel like you...

For once, I wish I was in Corpus Christi.

My roommate (MW) has somebody in Corpus and I can't imagine they're charging that much; he'd flip his lid if they did. That 80% thing sounds way too high.

Phelps himself is a disbarred lawyer, and I think a few of his kids are attorneys. That's how he's been able to get away with a lot of stuff in Topeka.

You're right, you can't. So the joke about AF types flying desks is literally true. Sweeet.

I'm looking forward to the aerobatic, ground-takeoff version...

I know you're sort of kidding, but how does the AF do that, and why can't we? I have never quite understood exactly how or why the AF has had a stranglehold on funding.

Concur. Before I saw the light, I thought the mainland would be better, but after everything was said and done I did a lot more driving and crashing at a friend's place on the island than anything else.

Seconded. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the few places I would actually like to live in Texas. I did too--managed to squeak it in, too, since we went in November. We got pretty lucky; it was warm the day we go in and the day we left. If I was going to do one now, I'd probably try...

I can't think of a better selling point (for this crowd, anyway) than MB living there. In all seriousness, I've seen it as well and it's an awesome place.

I think you've got a story you forgot to tell me... What I meant was that the news was showing civilian planes landing with some kind of gear malfunction.

I think that's what he's afraid of...

That was sweet. Good find. For awhile in Advanced it seemed like every time I ate anywhere on base they had an emergency aircraft landing with some kind of gear problem. The only memorable one was a guy with a nose gear stuck up; he landed it beautifully but nearly fell on his face getting off...

Back in the day, the Navy did actual parasailing where you got lifted into the air behind a boat, then hit a release and went into the water. Since the AF has come along, they switched over to land, though I'm not entirely sure on exactly why. A LCDR told me this after I broke my leg.

Two guys get seriously injured every year doing that gay ass Air Force bullshiznit (the AF is why we do redneck parasailing). Go thank the next Zoomie you see for me. I would go ask the Dispersing O, just so there isn't any more confusion on your part; you can come back and tell us how all...

God, this is so simple, you guys. Just do what I did--break your leg at the end of API, hang out for 5-6 months like I did so you end up in the Riveria for nearly a year while your roommate stiffs you on rides to the grocery store and acts like an general douche (and in the meantime his dog...

Is there a reason he lifted back off again before setting it back down? I'm guessing it's either SOP to ensure he doesn't screw up setting it down again in a slightly unusual attitude and strike a rotor, or he had to get weight off the scissor switches for some reason.

I like it. How about "drop some Zoomies off at the pool?"

I don't know this place specifically, but 9A/Baymeadows is a real nice place to live. It's about halfway between base and the beach. 9A is awesome. I never thought I'd say that about a road, but it is Jax...

Scoob, I think our mutual LT (VQ) friend had his wife remove his water wings at the actual ceremony. Congrats, dude--looking forward to seeing you back here in Jax. WRT prop gayness, everything I've heard makes me think it's actually not the prop community driving the prescribed winging date...

I saw that pic of Smitty's house--looks AWESOME, and he's probably right about the traffic. Scoob, I have no idea what you're talking about.... :D

Nope, sorry. The Colony had pretty good reviews on Apartment Ratings.com, though.

Someone, please rent that house--I can see endless possibilities with this one...

I agree with your assessment of where to live; this is a great central location, about halfway between everything, which works pretty well. While I wouldn't precisely recommend my specific place (Villa Medici--PM for details), I'd recommend my general area, here--I know it doesn't look like...

Wow. Wish I'd read the rest of this thread before I sent off the email. Guess I haven't lost anything, though.

Concur with GroundPounder, but be sure they do what you want them to do, and get EVERYTHING taken care of right then. USAA recommended the folks I had fix my car after a drunk hit it parked in front of my house (can't remember the name). Typically blend new paint on older cars so it's not as...

Me too.

What just happened? What'd I do?

The end of an era is at hand. Someone needs to pull a Garcia and get some sorority girls there like the one a month ago.

Good luck on that.

I like the window sticker the best so far--it's understated and says exactly what we're trying to say, but if that doesn't make it, my next choice is Phrog's white one with wings; kinda liked the idea of including a funny like "In Gouge We Trust" or "It's not all Choker Whites and Dining Outs"...

God, I'm really glad I left now...

I wish I was there... Waitaminute... I'm in Jax, and the local wildlife appears to have an affinity to silicon--and in a good way... Never mind. I'm good.

I've got a friend who's pretty decent with graphics--I'll talk to him and see what he can come up with. I like the KISS concept with wings, but I was thinking it might be cool if it looked like a squadron patch somehow--it'd make it even more cryptic if it was made that way. Thoughts?

It was a good time--thanks Master, and thanks to Scoob for reminding me this morning while I was thinking about other things of no consequence, like checking out of Trawing 4 and packing. <grin>

A buddy of mine was instrumental in getting some of the sororities out to the Club at the last winging, and based on how much time he's been spending with one of the girls he met there, I'd say he would beg to differ. And he's not still drunk; she's smoking hot.

I think I'll make it out, but I may be late--we'll see. What time does the kitchen close?

Coo--good to know. I sit corrected.

I caught that too. Seemed like a very John Madden thing to say.

Think you meant HT-28.

Sounds like you had a better night than I did.

No househunting leave for incoming studs as far as I know. The first day or two you'll be running around getting the admin stuff knocked out, then all you have to do is muster until your welcome aboard date, which is two or three days of briefs that go until early afternoon or so. After that...

First off, they were cool. Second off, what do you mean you have them? I'm just imagining a well with a bunch of sorority chicks in it... It puts the lotion in the basket...

I just realized how screwed up I am--I just translated SERGRAD into FAIP... Time to get the hell away from the Chair Force.

One area I'd look at is East Hills. It's not too far from base, it's off the front gate (back gate only has a WalMart going for it), and it's closer to a grocery store and shopping than most of the other areas folks live. You could probably find a pretty nice house in the area but there could...

One of our front office brass in ROTC had 8-9 kids. Craziest thing was his wife homeschooled all of them...

MB, I don't think I'm going to be able to make the Flaming Kabob night--if all works out like I want, that Friday may be my last day in Corpus. I'm going to the winging on Friday, though--this time I'll try and make sure you don't end up having to walk back to the trailer. On second...

Where've you been?

Might as well--you'll learn what not to do around here.

Congrats to all of you!
