V-neck is the way to go, period. If you are hairy like MB, shave. Btw, I'm thinking it's time for deployment moustaches... I admire the plummage on the lower right, first row. You think these guys would wear crew necks? No f-ing way! Ascots? Yes! thanks BigIron...

XF-85 Goblin parasite fighter. Parasite? Really? Would make one want to go UAV. Overheard at the club..."That's right babe, I'm a parasite driver."

Isn't speculating just going long (in this case)? People won't bitch when guys start shorting it...I don't think they are the problem...now Congress...

hope the mai tai's are as good as the beer here in p-cola today...

What % get Flying Cross? Manatee Blow Whores Abbott's rock... return to thread// Oh yeah, A4's, VT-4's Official patch is back to

Damn, the owner is a former HSL-46 SH-60B pilot, who lateral'd to the AF and flew B-1's. He was my Divo 14 years ago. Nice plane too.

That's an old pic, to get a P-3 form these days would require every "up" bird in Jax. All three of them.

Sweet, I wanted an excuse to bring firearms...I figured live shrimp was the way to go, but thanks for the skinny. I think I'll partake later today...

You guys are making it real hard to go to work tomorrow at VT-4...anybody catch reds from the beach or is wade-fishing the way to go, shy of a john-boat?

In short, all fixed wing aircrew are consolidating into AW, that is flight engineers (who could have been AD's, AMS/H's, etc) , in-flight technicians (AT's), and any other legacy aircrew rates... They will retain their subspecialty codes, called NEC's. It will be very diversified and the rating...

Ahh, the salad days , Dev. Slappin' cheek out the cabin door at the shoes during a pass in review...good times.

My radar operator...he gets shit to this day.

Bring that shit to me. Btw, wmf-taff says "yo". My crew acquired a giant model Nimrod from Kinloss in '01 after Burns Supper. The limeys were not pleased. COMFAIRKEF was dialed vfr-direct. I last recall the model doing shots in the Brass Nut. Good times. Mascot shenanigans rock.

That's not a very clever play. The Young Turks and members of the CUP were JO's in the Ottoman Army and the principal proponents of the Armenian genocide...the very field officers that conducted the operations under the noses of Imperial German officers...before and during WWI...

Don't forget to throw in a little armenian genocide...you know, those pesky folks who didn't want to assimilate...or so says Mustafa Kemal...

Might give insight as to why he thinks the surge won't work long-term...

J-fu, where's your fitrep? This is GREAT! I can find jo's anywhere!!!

Just wrapped up 1074 miles this weekend on my Tiger. Florida actually slopes up going from Jax to P-cola. Lots of good pavement. 5 hrs door to door at 85-90-ish (just keeping up with traffic)...

Found this picture of A4's in Primary...

http://www.danddcycles.com/ I'll be there later this afternoon.

Sold the Thruxton's and got a Tiger...all Triumph of course. Plus I'll give the Germans the finger as I drive by their squadron. They are a bit biased towards the GS1200. No clue why.

You should look up Gary Donoher...still in Jax. Wing Eleven maintains all the AMPO historical books. PM if you need some contact info. The program name had to be published in order to get funded. Otherwise, still pretty quiet about it. I believe crews are trained for ACINT collects now...

Victory? When there's an Irish pub in Fallujah that serves pigs in a blanket with Guinness.

Which is, to put the helo in a position to deliver a weapon. Thanks, I'll take a few more FFG's please.

Wow. Insert " I guess they don't make 'em like they used to" cliche here. It sounds like Big Navy wants to make DDX a seagoing F-22. Overly capable of everything. Too bad there won't be many of them. You know, $5.5 billion for a destroyer? I didn't care much for FFG-7's when I deployed on...

So, the logical question is how far does US $1363 go in Siam?

FYI..Diesel Penske 26ft truck, Jax to Pcola FYI..max capacity is 8370 lbs, 194 sq/ft total, and I plan on using every bit of it. o Rental Rate (26 Ft Truck with 4 days Travel) $ 388.00 o Extra Day Charge $50.00 o Includes 12% discount for AAA FL/AUTO CLUB SOUTH o Tow Device None...

The investigator only talks to the individual seeking a clearance if clarification or amplifying information is needed. I suspect that this "high priority" thing might be an internal processing classification for the contracted investigation company. They get paid when you get processed. So...

Holy thread resurrection, Rob. Buy a watch dammit. We're one FO short.:D

Does this mean that MC boards will now be held virtually on AW? Imagine the possibilities...or shenanigans.

Devastator, Hornet VT-8, June 4, '42...on John Waldron's wing.

The VFW kicks ass too, especially for poor bastards geo-baching in the Q.

Lann-Bihoué, great base. Old Messerschmidt revetments everywhere...and not too dar from the old sub pens. Good wine too. I know, shocker.

Second Beach and a board, then some beer. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Nice job, Nick. Incidentally, does Airwarriors have a "Bull"? Think of the fitrep bullet that could be...:D

Great, queer eye for the muslim guy. I'm going to the garage, too.

Cleaning/changing points on a '69 Triumph Trident on the side of the road in the rain, hammered.

I have no regrets about being a SAR swimmer/Helo AW for 8 years before I got picked up. "Difficult" doesn't begin to describe the reality of earning a commission once you've enlisted, much less being a success as an enlisted man. The problem I've seen w/ folks who come in as blue shirts thinking...

That's why we're looking out here at Gulf Shores, I lived in Gulf Breeze as a kid in the 70's and I swear it hasn't changed that much.

hmmmm....oh welly welly well. Kids these days... Nice work, really. Okay, tough guy. How about a podcast of the T-1 Before Starting Engines checklist?

My kids are in Cath school in Jax. I'm starting a tour here in VT's and am probably sticking them in Helen Caro elementary out the back gate in Gulf Shores (southwest Pensacola on MLS). It's got great reviews, several officers wives teach there, and I've heard very positive stuff about the...

I do believe that less a/c are required these days to (P sub K), so the bean counters are winning with the argument that less carriers are needed. I'm interested in manpower, the real seed change that needs to happen on a CVN. If that significantly decreases on CVN-78 (say in the 1250-1500...

Not into foo-foo coffee, but man I love the chicory.Just when your gut gets used to the bowel bashing effects of chili-mac, along comes coffee with chicory....mmmmmm:icon_tong

Thanks, using a professional aquaintance for PM.

3578 Oak Street, 32205. 1923 Avondale Bungalow 3/2 with separate Den/Office, Second floor Master Suite. Heart of Avondale. Rebuilt by me 4 years ago, added the second story. 2000 sq/ft. 2 car garage, phenomenal neighbors, 5 min walk to 5 bar/restaurants. Casbah, Brick, Sterling's, Biscotti's...

Rest assured, a variety of "interesting" ground jobs are being created to fill the fitrep void. As stated before, it's going to be a tough tour.Just an outside observation; the squadron CO's seem more like DH's now since the Wing owns the assets and parlays them out as they see fit. It's lousy...

Interesting decor. Moons and a rifle. Hmmmm. But the Corsair is a nice touch.:) Get to the range now.

Nice list HAL...Trap guy, too I take it? My best was "5" bad guys at once. But that was w/ the Norwegians...allegedly.

Reflect on that, go to intel school. Your enthusiasm is noted. Good luck.
