    The AW Virtual Ready Room Rules of the Road (in work)

    Slammer's 1,000th post: :D Oddly enough, some of the slight deviations, full out threadjacks, arguments, and other such "off course" discussions have taught me a lot more than I probably would have learned had it not happened.

    US AIRWAYS Crash in the Hudson River

    I dont rate a vote so I wont. Sounds like the pilot did his job. Actually, sounds like the pilot did the hell out of his job. You can train for stuff that might happen but if its not one of those things that happens all the time its a little scarier. Sure it was "just his job", but on this...

    Updated list of things to bring?

    Do people seriously have nipple issues? Body Glide or some other brand of the same thing is great but make sure that you really scrub the area clean afterwards. It will cake on and cause you other sorts of problems. Good hygeine is essential when spending long amounts of time under shitty...

    The flight physical you take before OCS is far more extensive than the stuff they give you here at TBS. At the medical portion, you stand a few paces away and read an eye chart just to get an idea. If you can read below a certain line (the smaller letters) then you're fine. If not, then you...

    I think EVENTUALLY we'd be ok with the coed thing. The problem would be the first few months/years. Sort of like when a kid leaves home for the first time and goes to college. They're going to do all the "bad" shit until it no longer becomes a novelty.

    Remember this Blue #5 picture?

    Stupid question time: Whats wrong with doing 3 rolls, but 2 are allowed? Does a roll cause you to change altitude and by doing 3 in a row they're saying that you could potentially hit something without control? OR does it disorient you slightly which is no good at that altitude?

    Marine OCS Question

    I did that a few times back in '06 along with a few other people. A few weeks into it, they made this new rule that nobody could get up before a certain time (cant remember anymore). Mentally, I think it was easier to do that. But then again, I suppose its good to get your business taken care...

    I've heard about this happening once, but I didnt personally know the guy. I've put about 800 rounds through mine so far, using a variety of ammo. Not a single problem so far. I wish .45 was cheaper so that I could be reporting that I put a lot more rounds through...

    The way I read that statement I took it as he meant too bad they didnt die in combat while shooting at Americans. That way, no prisoners, no constitutional arguments, etc... Problem is, I'd assume we didnt capture every single person in battle. I'd guess that some doors were kicked down and...

    Seeking advice on that first handgun or next weapon purchase? Ask AW!

    If you're just trying to get a feel for handguns and learn how to shoot properly and will be shooting a lot, get a cheap .22 pistol. Ammo is really cheap and you can learn all the fundementals of good shooting before you invest in a bigger more costly gun.
