Skitzo, we live in a world that has checkrides, and those checkrides have to be guarded by SEFEs with red pens. Who's gonna do it? You? You, BQZip01? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for downgrades, and you curse the FORM 8. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Alarm Red's downgrade, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves useless careers. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at CGO meetings, you want me giving that checkride, you need me giving that checkride. We use words like how many feet off altitude, how many knots off airspeed. We use these words as the backbone of a life being tactically useless. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who steps and starts engines under the blanket of the checkrides I give, and then questions the manner in which I ask general knowledge questions. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a Master Question File, and run as fast as you can from the weapons officer. Either way, I don't give a damn what Q-1 no downgrade you think you are entitled to.

I'll post this without any comments, other than "Frickin Kaboom." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJKIrseIHRE Things are going to get racial here.

And your perspective changes completely once you are out of UPT...For example, the C-17 is a sweet plane and looks really cool so most people want it out of T-1s, but be ready to get your nuts kicked in with a pretty rough, unpredictable lifestyle. Granted, as mentioned above, there are pros and cons to every airframe so just really do your research before picking. I read posts here that say people would rather kill themselves than go RPAs, but in reality, a bunch of people are volunteering to go to them from AMC because after a few years of not being able to plan a week in advance, it gets pretty tiresome. Remember, the view from a cockpit is inside out, and no one really cares how "cool" the plane is....Lifestyle is King...UPT gives terrible poop when it comes time to helping choose the best airframe for you. So, take the decision seriously and don't arbitrarily pick an airframe based on its perceived prestige or coolness factor.

If there was a thread for 'Epic Vaginal Responses' this would be in it for sure. I asked a question. An answer without the drama expected from a 15 year old girl would have been appropriate in this circumstance. Since I wasn't there, and it was your experience, I wanted clarification. You've provided that, albeit bracketed by a whiny, childlike response. You can go tend to your swollen ovaries now.

I think I've seen double digits before, but that's pretty funny. I added a minus as well.
