It is Texas remember. We are first in the nation in executions, followed distantly by Virginia, and Im pretty sure that even including VA we execute more people than the rest of the country combined. Our laws by and large favor personal property over criminal 'rights', except in Travis...

Is this also the Sherrif who uses some 'old school' prison practices like chain gangs etc?

I dont fly either, but it would seem that you could abstract an A/C/D model and a E/F/G model enough that it wouldn't matter. The A/C/D look close enough alike (similar size, round intake, etc) that a legacy Hornet image would probably suffice for all three. Similar situation with the...

Not over trespass maybe but in Texas the use of deadly force is authorized if it is reasonable to believe that burglary is the intent of the intruder. From the Texas penal code: Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against...

I thought this was like super powers, such as can control fire, or create magnetic fields.

What I was getting at is, that I'm not entirely sure it makes a difference one way or another. I cant see have skipping IFS would make things longer, but from the sound of it you would just spend more time in A Pool as opposed to taking a 4 - 6 week break to go fly.

The issue doesn't seem to be with IFS incomplete O-1s. It is almost entirely that there are several folks who are IFS complete waiting to get into API.

I think Bevo was the first to characterize what occurred as being similar to a JOPA meeting. Not that it was, but rather that it had many of the same characteristics.

It is my understating, from reading GAO reports that the aircraft being produced now are exclusively for testing, and that the aircraft is not anywhere near full scale production.

Okay maybe you can answer this: Knowing what you know about both aircraft, is there any reason why you might agree with Boeing? Or is the JSF a far superior airplane that the Navy/US People ought to invest in at the present time? Could the capabilities of the JSF wait, as Boeing has suggested...

What the fuck do you mean... what the... THE CHINA MAN IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE. AM2 the other AM2, the one that fucked up. And there is no reason, there is no fucking reason, that he should walk into a JOPA meeting and get all fussy. AM I wrong, am I wrong.... That JOPA meeting really tied the...

I was hoping for at the very least semi-unbiased.

Your graduation date IS you commissioning date. Unless there is an unforeseen complication (medical or otherwise) you will commission on the date that you graduate, maybe a day earlier. Example: our University graduation was Dec 20 a saturday. We commissioned Dec 19. There were no STAs in...

This is posted in Enlisted Commissioning Programs... what program are you specifically referring to? OCS, STA-21?

Resurrected zombie thread: I was just going through GAO reports, because thats what I do now that I have nothing to do with myself, and had some questions that were relevant to this thread. 1.) From a pilots perspective what are the key differences between what the JSF is supposed to offer and...

Not really. The only thing that happened was an explanation from on-high as to why we PT, and basically a "quit you bitching we ask 1.5 hours a PT 3 days a week and youre getting paid." Very relaxed, and nothing regarding the AM2 debacle.

Is there a reason that the 53 was not selected. It seems that the American made -53 would be plenty big enough and have a proven track record to be competitive. Does anyone know if it was even considered?

You will find that several people find the Beretta 92 to be total shit. Myself included. Buy for her what she wants, but consider the 92 is a sorry excuse for a pistol.

This came from his bio: Poor sentence structure, but I dont think he was breaking laws.

I dont get this. Are you saying that if a USNA grad with no enlisted experience had done EXACTLY the same thing the situation would be different? Because thats what it sounds like.

Would you be surprised if the line had been: Further, any idiot should have realized that SEAL candidates are going to be PTing at a level above the average Sailor / officer. Not suggesting that ACC and SEAL candidates are at the same level of physical intensity, but the reality is that there...

It should be noted that NO ONE knew he was there. Maybe we should have checked, and I would bet that if another JOPA meeting is held in the future someone will be looking for the very sneaky AM2, but I dont think anyone expected him to emerge from the darkness the way he did.

Prevent future Corps of Cadets members from being produced. Darwinism at its finest.

Honestly that was the one you picked?

Fixed it for you.

Dont watch this. It will enrage you: Nothing said here that hasn't been said before, but I like giving myself high blood pressure. Side note, anyone have any idea where he got the 30 - 40% increase in homicide rate statistics? I have a feeling he is VERY wrong.

I think me and you saw a few things differently: Spot on, no disagreements here. We need the PT. I probably need it more than any one else, but over all I think the PT session was a success and should be continued. This was embarrassing to be sure, or maybe more disappointing. Not...

Just to clear up, AM2 isnt leading PT he just works in Flight Management/student control. Apparently he has positional authority over the A Pool ensigns because of his job description in the office. Why he was there today is beyond me, but his comments were mostly geared at trying to explain...

Not a chance. Both people stormed off thinking they were right.

In this case I think AM2 was trying to prove a point: that just because we are officers doesnt mean we are above PTing with the Air Crew candidates. He did it in a way that was not very effective, and served to offend several people. I don't think his point was well received and it had...

Desert I completely agree. Today was about the most embarrassing and asinine display I have ever witnessed. I sat there today honestly wondering if what I was seeing was actually happening. As for PSW's comment, the enlisted member in question was a bit hot under the collar, and I think he...

Referred to the Judiciary and will probably be referred to the sub committee on crime or what ever it is they call it in the House. No one has even co-sponsored it yet. It could still pick some up, but if they haven't jumped on it in a month its likely no one is taking it seriously.

So cobra commander is the kid from 3rd rock from the sun... that just sounds strange to me.

Try telling that to him: He doesnt answer a phone, drive in a car, and he sure as SHIT DOESN'T FUCKING FLY.

I hope this was rhetorical, because it should generally understood that a desire exists to start the AW militia. Also I dont understand why this guy talks as though this gun market in Pakistan is a bad thing. This is about the best thing in the world, save maybe a house made of steaks...

You need to convince the RAG that a cross country is in order. Oh come on, make this her one last opportunity to get raging drunk before the baby comes. I forsee a good night in your future... a night that somewhat resembles this:

Anyone going? It's at the fair grounds. Flirtini with nurses Friday night, guns and ammunition on saturday?

Why are they so hard to get a hold of these days? Was it just a run on the weapon after the election or had Springfield held shipment for some reason?

IFS is done in FL for ROTC grads. Some USNA grads do IFS up at Navy some dont. Marines I think go through it after TBS in Quantico?

I was looking through the President's agenda posted on The White House web site. I found his section on Defense somewhat different than I would have expected (certainly more different than what the far left is thinking I think): A few of the items caught my attention: Interesting that he...

I think I see what you are saying. My ROTC unit had several nukes, many of them with sea time, and many of them wanted Core. Most of the Nukes at UNM were in the training pipeline or were staff pickups who wanted Core but the Navy made them stick with Nuke. You are saying that if the...

Fixed it for you. On the topic of a reference guide, I think it would be best if said reference guide was a series of web pages not just threads in the forum. (www.airwarriors.com/guide or guide.airwarriors.com as suggestions) I say this because it seems that a lot of the sticky threads that...

Not to steer this towards a previous thrread and recover ground, but I tend to agree with you. I dont have any annecdotal examples but I have to believe that there are probably people who displayed bouts of heroism that in WWI or II would have rendered a MOH but are passed up in the current...

MB and Bevo: That was just brutal. For my own part I always thought of Flash as an ultra right wing, gun stock piling, Ron Paul voting, gold hoarding, patriot who just likes to argue a lot. But then again I can be a bit of an optimist.

Flash are you suggesting it is a good thing / bad thing / or just making an observation.

Were you reimbursed for the exact cost of your move or were you given a lump sum allowance? What was the ~3k for? Back pay?

Do you intend to apply for officer programs later down the road? If you do, do you know which ones you intend to apply for (USNA, STA-21)? Consider that while many people have gone from enlisted nukes to Pilot, sometimes if you are picked up for STA-21 the navy will make you go back into the...

What? I never said you did do NROTC. You brought up the fact that NROTC does 6 week OCS and you did 13. I was explaining the descrepency.
