Awww... come on OC, I bet if you went by the unit today and talked real nice to LT M you might find out something.

About five years ago they brought in a Singapore crewed CH-47 into Nacogdoches to fight some forest fires in the area. I made some mad commission cash off of that, cha-ching. The crew was cool, spoke english better than I, and insisted that I have my picture taken with them. God knows why they...

So, is it against the UCMJ to fraternize with officer/enlisted personel of a foreign nation? Never was covered in our fraternization briefs.

Yeah, I know. My folks would have had a fit if I Ho Chi Minhed it out. It would have been fun carrying my uniforms, clothes, and valuables out by bike. I am just glad some people weren't bright enough to get off 59N. If all the Texas road maps in the Houston metro area hadn't been sold out, I...

It took me twelve hrs to get from H-town to Nacogdoches on 59N. I left it 0200 and I got to Humble at 0600! Then Porter at 0900! And I stuck to the feeder road which was moving faster than 59N! We are talking maybe 20 miles from my apartment over by the Galleria. 20 miles in 7 hrs! At that rate...

Yep, I am getting ready to put my rudder to it and creep out of town. Hopefully, this late not many people have the same idea as I do and traffic won't be as bad as it was earlier.

They might have a chance against Rice, in two weeks. I'll be there, I have to work parking.

Concur, it is TDD, it's on their newest CD. The "I love NY" bumper sticker on the bomb was a trip!

That would be 94.5 "The Buzz" and their "Hurricane Katrina Request-athon", they tally up to noon today is $460,000. That is pretty awesome, considering most donoations have been around $100. We were briefed not to go down around the AstroDome unless we have absolutely necessary and to be a...

That is a very good point. When the resources (i.e. oil) start becoming scarce, the PRC will turn on its local competitors and producers of resources. There was an article in Proceedings, a few months ago, that talked about the increase in consumption of oil in India and the PRC and there...

Thank you, sir, for that nugget of information. Do you know what the numbers have been trending from previous years? I bet it is a sharp decline. That makes it all the more difficult, for me at least, to pick a 2 year scholarship. Difficult, not impossible.

Hey, baby, I am here for the needs of the Navy. I don't know John from Jack Schitt, but I kinda figured it is a little of both. But, hey, if I get a two year scholarship its a moot point. Here is a question for you: are the majority of guys getting picked up for 2 year scholarships and advanced...

I just finished my O-week at Rice and out of the 16 that were going to the Rice unit, only 3 of us were College Programers. And out of the 16, there were only three going to Rice Univeristy. Most were, like me, going to UH. I am trying to pick up a two year scholarship or advanced standing at...

I knew a guy that took a buzzard through the windscreen on final in a Baron. The impact stuns the buzzard, just as the guy gets it on the ground the buzzard realizes what happens and wants the hell outa there. So this buzzard is going ape sh*t in the passenger seat and the guy has to reach past...

That was great!

Is this still in effect? I didn't see a date on the info and the last date was in here:

So by that logic you got a thing for Katie Holmes? :D That's cool. :icon_smil I agree that she is hot, but he is a friggin' pshyco joke.

Kind of like The Day after Tomorrow (aka Two Days From Now)?

Tool! War of the Worlds was published 107 yrs ago! So, by his logic, it was really a commentary on the run-up to the Spanish-American War? What a hella-tool! Are we exterminating and drinking the Iraqis' blood?! I think I missed that somewhere. I sure hope H.G. Welles' estate says...

Okay, here is the thing with ending. I loved the movie, but the last 20 minutes could have been a helluvalot better. I mean the whole movie, up until when they Olgilvy's house felt like a nightmare, then the mood changed. However, I will say this: what happened to the aliens is straight out of...

That is with any big, round, loud, beautiful reciproctating engine.

A good friend of mine owns a T-28C that was with VT-28 or -27 (I can't remember which one it is). I have been privaleged enough to fly in that beast a couple of times and once in an airshow. It is very light on the controls and a blast to fly. The only draw backs I saw with it: 1. It is noisy as...

If I recall, Chrysler built a turbine powered car in the early '60s. I saw it on Modern Marvels.

I'll second that.

Snochie bochies, Biatches! Give that man $20 dollar drinking binge, it is Wally World policy. As a Storm Trooper for the 'Evil Empire', I can definately say that is corporate policy. And do as Fly says, buy your shells at the sporting goods counter and groceries in the front. It is one of...

You know, I am surprised that no one mentioned the Patriot or Gods and Generals or Dr. Strangelove or 1941 or K-19 or To-ra To-ra To-ra.

How about Dark Blue World? It is about Czech fighter pilots who fly with the RAF in the Battle of Britain, gets a little mushy with the love interest but still a good movie.

I'll go with the M-1, too. Just gotta watch out for the "Garand Thumb."

Well, this bat is still gonna have to have PRK. Now, the question is: can you have PRK and wear contacts to reach 20/20? That is if you don't quite reach 20/20, but say 20/50

http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/cvf/ Second paragraph, under the heading CVF AIRCRAFT CARRIER PROGRAMME. KBR is a subsidiary of Haliburton. (Which I said in a previous post) http://www.halliburton.com/kbr/index.jsp You can pick up the BS flag now. :D

No, I am not a Haliburton is running the US Cool Aid drinker. I just though it surprising that the Brits would hire an oil field services company to manage the construction of their new toy boats. KBR (a Haliburton subsidery) is running it, that is a different story. They own most of the...

The Brits are starting construction on a two ship class. They will displace 60,000 tons and will be able to handle the F-35C. And, no ****, Haliburton is supposed to coordinate the construction of the two ships in two seperate yards. they are also looking at developing a variant of the E-2 to...

I didn't know there were 42 midgets in Cambodia. Oh well, the value of cage fighting midgets just went up by about 200% in Cambodia. Let me guess the name of one of the wrestlers: The Screamin' Midgee or maybe Death from Below or, perhaps, Killer Tom Thumb. Either way they are bound to...

I love my '99 F-150 XLT. I have had no troubles out of it and it has 111k miles on it. No major repairs, yet. Hell, my whole family runs Fords and have had no trouble out of them. My grandfather had an 88 F-150 that he put about 150k miles exclusively in pastures and pulling a trailer with a...

My collection is more along Flying Fortress's. I collect early naval aviation stuff. Right now it is mostly all autographs. Maybe one day it will be a warbird or two. I haven't the disposable cash to throw around like you high rollers, so I can't start collecting firearms yet. I will, oh...

Hey, that's all right we know how envious you are of us. Else, why would some of ya'll carpetbagged down here after the "War of Northern Agression"? :D See, the feeling is mutual. :) Let me guess you are from New England? By the way, thanks for the compliment on the avatar.

Amen, Reverand! Preach on!

Sounds like someone is envious. :D Come on even Chuck Yeager, who is from W. Virginia, admitted that W. Virginia is seriously backwards in his autobiography. I mean look who they keep electing as their senator! (:confused: :) :icon_smil ;)......smiles for the A4s effect...)

You gotta admit, they do look, passingly, a like. I have the same picture of "Lucky Pierre" autographed, just signed in a different spot. :icon_smil He was on the Helena the same time my grandfather and my great uncle were, both hull techs. They even did a cruise off of Korea with him...

That looks a lot like Guy Borderlon, the only USN ace in Korea.

But they are great to look at for the most part! :D Except for the fat ones. :(

And Eric Cartman's dad is..........Ms. Cartman! Dunt da dumm....(dramatic sounding music)

Thanks, bch, and I know what you mean. Sorry if it sounded like I was being sarcastic, I wasn't trying to be. I am just trying to fact check. You know Ronald Reagan's adage, "Trust, but verify." Then if my recruiter/advisor says that I am golden for advanced standing with a 3.0, then call me...

Talking to the advisor over the phone and through e-mail. He never said anything about seeing my transcript from SFA or for that matter he did not say that my app would require it. He did say, however, that if I transfer any later than as a first semester sophomore, I would have to submit my SFA...

Just my credits will transfer. I am a physics major so calc and physics are a must. Freshman Advisor, that I talked to at Rice, said that if I applied for a scholarship, which I will, that only my UH grades will go on the app., so I'd imagine that it would be the same for an advanced standing...

Quick question. I am transfering from SFA to the University of Houston, in the fall, to participate in NROTC Houston based at Rice. UH is a cross town affliate. My question is this: How competitive is it to recieve advanced standing? I will be starting as a Sophmore, so I will have two semesters...

Whoop! Whoop! Back to the original thread subject. This clash will always be. It has been since the establishment of the Continental Army and Navy. It will be this way until judgement day. Even if all branches were unified, this would still go on. It goes on in within the Navy its self, most...

Why can't they do that to the JFK, instead of the America? I rather the America, since it is named after the Republic, be scuttled instead of the JFK and the JFK be used as target practice. Or for God's sake rename it, like we used to do with obsolecent ships turned into target vessels.

If I hear shenanigans again I am going to have to pistol whip someone. :D I wonder how many boys in blue still believe that strategic air power ALONE can win wars?

this weekend? I made the 14hr drive up from Texas for the Pershing Rifles National Convention. Got to see a lot of drill teams compete in various competitions. Mostly an Army/Air Force "big dick swinga' " contest, but Clemson brought along some Marines. Coincidently, the pretty much swept the...
