Ditto on the cool pics huggy. How long does it take you to don the "space suit"? I must say of all the gizmos we used and learned about in ARSS wrt to disentanglement, a U-2 get up was never mentioned. I realize the odds of ever having to rescue a U-2 pilot are probably astronomical.

Mags My mags arrived today! That was fast. I was figuring on a long excruciating ass pain wait.... COMNAVWIFEPAC is wondering why all these boxes keep showing up marked ORM-D. I'm wondering why the need to put that label on a box full of empty unprimed brass?

Not bad gouge. You are correct kmac.

Brings a whole new meaning to DLQ's!

I received an email today from DYNAMIC ARMAMENT, saying my mags have shipped. I thought it would be an ass pain wait, like months. Got a box of bullets and brass today from Natchezzs, schweet! Now the game (for bullets and brass) is not searching for the best price but availability...

All I have to say is- That is some awesome, no shit advice right there! Well said sir!

Next time you have a flight to PI, sched a leg to SKA, SFF, or GEG. Give me a heads up and I'll bring mucho pesos in the name of tradition! :D

Reading my original response. I should iterate that it is much more desirable for you, if you can, to go to college BEFORE joining the Navy. It will open up many more opportunities for you.

I just bought four 30 rounders...... Thanks nittany for the link!

Mav- All of your questions can be answered with a simple google search. Hell there is a thread right here on Air Warriors http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?p=454625 , read HoverPilot's most excellent ppt. Part of being a Shit Hot AW is to be PROACTIVE, (the arrogance and attitude...

Fixed it for you.

Your Chief.

I'm a retarded, er I mean, a retired AW. No you're not stuck, you can change rates at this point. What nuc rate did your recruiter tell you you can have? EM/ET or MM? The sign on bonus for nuc ET as of a year ago is 18k and the re-enlistment bonus is 90k for 6yrs. Provided you end up as a...

Excellent stick and rudder skills by the US Airways pilots. Amazing ditch! I know the Sensor One on that 47 ditch, he was my roomie one deployment with Big Red.

Gunny Hathcock.

I had the same "interest" during the first Oboclinton adminstration. Under the "change" we would have mens berthing, womens berthing and a seperate berthing for those who don't know. Schweet! Although I did ask one of my female pilots if she thought co-ed (and whatever) berthing was cool...

I offered too, since he has a "shipping" problem. Ship it to me, I'll make sure it's fully functional, and keep it bathed in CLP. If you end up in Kalifornication we'll just consider it a "long term loan". What's the down-side?

MB you need one of these-

Looks like the A/C is kicking up a wake!

I think he's just a spotter. Not a Shooter.

Your right! I got cheated out of .1hrs! 6mins=.1

Longest flight- 14.something, P-3 SAR Mission. My last flight with Big Red. Shortest flight- .1, H-60 SAR mission, don swimmer stuff, run to helo from ready room, fly to MOB, get lowered down hoist, grab said MOB, wrestle with panicked MOB, get hoisted back up, back onboard in 12 minutes total.

I always liked "Well rounded" Body fat percentage 26%. Back in the day when body fat percentage was reported in block 20 of enlisted eval. Not mine! I also have an eval (my own) that reports on the very top line "Sailor of the Year". Then the very next line says no shit "Number two of...

I'm sure we crossed paths I remember your brother and Wally. I was at the Wing from 84-87.

Merged back-to-back-to-back posts I was probably here With these guys. Yup forgot about them fellers.

At the time that pic was taken (Or so it appears) Commands owning aircraft onboard Moffett were VP-9, VP-19, VP-31 (RAG), VP-40, VP-46, VP-47, VP48, and VP-50. 9 or so A/C each (except VP-31 had more). An Airforce Rescue detachment (C-130's, H-3's w/PJ's), an Army spy unit, and NASA AMES.

I remember hearing that one. What year did that happen? And the random controller telling us that our "port landing gear did not retract". Because they saw the ALQ-78 antenna.

Schweet! I spent 6 of my 20 years there. Not counting FASO, and the RAG.

Phrog.. That's a heck of a story, glad you made it back to pay tribute. I can relate, it's hard but gets easier with time. Had a good friend, might as well have been a member of my family, die in a helo mishap. God Bless.

I'm getting a "semi" right now just thinking about that! Hunting commie subs and jumping out of helicopters is almost, I said ALMOST better than sex.

Correct sir!

That sir is the ALQ-78 ESM ant.

Anyone know where this pic was taken?

On Final, NAF Shilo

Some A-6 low level love.. Over a lake in E. WA

P-3 minex

Pics Digging around my old pictures and found some that I thought were interesting. C-130 came by as I was quail hunting on Ft Hunter Liggett, a "few" years ago.

Thanks for posting. My Grandfather was a veteran of WWII and Korea.

The action of saving lives under duress of combat, and against the self preservation instinct, could and has been worthy of the MOH. I had the opportunity to meet Dave "Mad Dog" Dolby last year. Vietnam War era MOH recipient. He was awarded the MOH for doing what he said simply "had to be...

I'm still hangin' on to that little pearl of intel. If it's real, and I believe it is, it will be a boon for buying.

I can answer a couple of those q's. I have not done a cost analysis of reloading for a few years, but several years ago, I computed the cost (not counting time, and initial outlay) of loading 9mm rounds to be $.05 per rnd. Probably more now. If you shoot a crap load of .22's reloading...

Anyone here reload? I'm getting back into it after a few years of not. Anyone have a good site for bulk bullets/brass?

One strange dude.... Racial slur thing is "Fightin' words". I'd like to kick his ass, yup I said it, sue me. I own Mules with more intelligence. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thats some funny shit right there... I'd love to have this guy as my DIVO, but then again he'd never make it that far. Pussy.

Great stuff right there! I love the looks on those little guys faces... Something they will remember forever! "Hoooya Semper Fi" for that one. Edit- COMNAVWIFEPAC just saw this and wondered if there was audio to go along with the pics....

And you know some A-dub will tape 14 of 'em together with a whole roll of duct tape......

Schweet! Popping flares, the Dub's in the back can feel the heat... kinda weird the first time you "feel" it. Navlav.... edited his post- t'was a cool pic of an H-60 ripple firing flares, hence my now Napolean Dynamite excited reaction. More Helo pics Sir!

500 bucks on hookers and beer in Roppingi and/or Bahrain? Sheeeet, that's way more than I "heard people" spent. Not that I would ever partake in such activities...
