Yeah, but does it smell like ass-sweat, coffee, and cigarettes?

I think Rob is too busy these days Opso-ing with only half the flight hours he needs...might have to go check in on him...:icon_tong

It was an admittedly poor attempt at humor...I'm holding out for when we get assimilated under one breast warfare insigdevicia so everybody will feel good about themselves....equally....and justice for all....:D

2000 hrs as a crewman...I'll wear 'em with my FO wings as long as I'm in. (..note the back in my day tone)!!! Uniform Regs 5210.2.a (1) Aviation Warfare Insignia Naval Astronaut Naval Astronaut (NFO) Naval Aviator (Pilot) Naval Aviation Observers and Flight Meteorologists Naval...

$50 more... Fair Winds and Cheers, Skid. Hoze

AMPO had half a dozen -208 kits back in the 90's. But no formal support, so it was up to the resident trons to maintain the stuff on the side. Had lots of HULTEC possibilities...

It definitely took some massaging...but the 60B ASQ-81 towed body was great, but the -208 digital MAD was fantastic. Good times...

Nuke boats have diesels for backup and run them often for PMS... in a chokepoint COMPTUEX/FLEETX environment where OPFOR SS's operate, they would operate the diesels mimicking native diesels with harmonics... -1 for sub characteristics. (but good stuff for an MC board, if they still have...

Jap diesel...prob Oyashio SS...my recce's not what it used to be...neither is my liver for that matter.:icon_tong

Jesus Familetti, how many CCX's have you been on?

A4's and HAL at the Starbuck's in question...before the morning cocktail.

^^Great shot of the launch bridle too.

Silly Silly...we now have a cocktail waitress fill out the travel claim for us...:tongue2_1

Anybody can check it out. The more the merrier. VT-10/VT-4 hangar is on the southeastern side of Sherman Field. Coming in from the back gate, it's the left exit just before the Museum. Then round the corner and look to the north and you'll see the squadron numbers on the building. The P-8 van...

The van arrives at NASP tomorrow (Thursday) at around noon, and they will open up and remain open as long as folks are around. They will re-open Friday morning until COB Friday then they will depart. It will be at the same spot as always, right next to VT-10. They can handle 20-25 at a time...

Get your flight jacket lined with a removable aramid liner. Most decent tailors can hande this and there are great ones in DC. Very warm. Never resort to shoe-dom. Good luck...

Well played, Spy...Well played.

Regarding the design, agreed. 60 minutes just did a fair piece on the challenges faced by the grunts in the 'Stan and revealed some interesting counter-IED stuff.

I'm sure there's a lot more to the story. Still, I wish there were some M2's at this FOB that might've made a difference. I recall the M60 was temperamental after a thousand rounds or so in a short period of time, but I flew with at least two spare barrels. I get pissed at the range when I...

Aren't they always going to be "behind" their peers though? Even if they go to a manned platform for follow-ons, when they are getting their initial form/section, yatta, yatta...their peers have been there, done that. Seems like they might be the "odd-balls" right out of the gate. As...

What an amazing number of F-4's! Must be over 200 there...

Clearly, a sign of the apocalypse. "The new training program is four to six months and includes basic flight screening and equipment training." Wish these folks well in this new career path...

Lt. Lake, you're almost out of uniform...

one that struck me since I was a kid...

My understanding is that CNATRA has been footing the bill for this alone while serving AF folks too. I, too, did SAR jumps 21 years ago here in the bay and miss having a SAR det here. Many things don't make sense these days. Like not having a Navy Helo det here 24/7 in a CNATRA hub, but the...

P-3/E-6 selects go their respective RAGS now after Primary graduation (no Randolph) Plan 4 months for Primary after API, then 2 more months if selected for Jets/E-2's.

Warrior Mind Training. Funny, that's what I thought the O-Club was for...

Eighth Air Force Museum, right off I-95. Savannah, GA. http://www.mightyeighth.org/ small, but great collection including a ME 163...

Point of order...F-16XL

No FMS for studs...maybe a brief FAM on a long leg ANAV along with a weather radar primer. There are only 8 flights so no real time to play with the toys.

It pained me more than you.:icon_tong

Big John in the drawing? If so, very nice.

Just gimme a coupla days notice and...

It'd be fantasitic to get this info out at the Primary/Intermediate squadrons. E-2's are still hard to fill here and a lot of it has to do with the mystery of the mission. We only have a couple of E-2 folks here and only one is a FO. I'd really like to get the word out on the "D" as I believe...

My concern is that it's unclear how much a procedure costs these days. My kids pediatrician filed a $500 claim for a "checkup" and a simple test and tricare paid 1/4 of it. My copay was a fraction of that. I talked to the pediatrician's staff about it a few months later and they confirmed that...

I am mostly white trash....but just the best parts.

I had my dress shirt tailored so you can remove the sleeves. There is a 1/4" strip of velcro that holds them on normally, so when things get interesting...viola!

We have spouses day down here in TW6, and the ladies get to fly in the jump seat in the T-1. Sadly, very few take the opportunity....and that's an AETC asset too. I was very surprised when I first heard about it too. Thought that had long since gone.

Nice shots CFAM. Glad you guys got the X. Now, SOP about photography in TW6 aircraft says what? ;)

I grew up in and was stationed in Jax for 19 years. I still own a home there in Avondale and will retire there eventually. Dogs? Go to the intersection of Ingleside and St. John's Avenue in Avondale and go from there.

Agreed. Skipper Reavey is intent on finding a way to get the word out. It's funny as he put after a few beers that along with a shitty economy (it's always shitty in P-cola), girls should be all over the club looking for a meal ticket. Civilian girls are allowed on base, but we need a couple of...

The Director was not implying that any club event was going to be mandatory. He has helped ensure that API classes wrapped up early on Fridays to support O-club rallys. He's a serious O-Club traditionalist, and is one of the best AF Majors I know of over here. He's also helping with AWG's...

3 of us closed MBOC down last night...XO Feagles stuck around till the wee hours. I hereby rescind my universal condemnation of all 0-5's not supporting the club. Until next week.:D

bold move from the unwashed...

I humbly submit that there's an entire generation of 0-5's who don't support the clubs. Not an indictment, I just don't see any of them there either. If they are there, it's because the Commodore is and as soon as he's gone, they're gone. Oh well, one Friday at a time! See you there!:tongue2_1

Also, the number of days of the year that the navaid actually works...

The more things change.... Towed array of a Knox-Class FF in a Victor III back in the day...

Ahh, the Bounty...

Okay Brothers...threadjack, and rally call. Wear your Aviation Greens. Rally at the Mustin Beach O-Club, Friday June 5th. Battle of Midway Commemoration. Guest Speaker at 1400, Ballroom: Chief Ordnanceman Charles Wheeler, USS Enterprise 1940-1944. Beer and hors d'oeuvres. VT-4(me) is...

Definitely not trying to minimize the significance of the event, but China and Russia have just as much to lose if not more than other industrialized countries. Time for them to step up. Their solution/response may not necessarily be in the US's best interest, but I'd suspect they have some...
