Not a doc, but does the finger bother you right now...i.e. any pain, discomfort, etc? You say you have full "grip strength" (sts), so it seems if the finger doesn't actually hurt you, avoidance for now anyways might be the best idea. What I gather here is you have full use of it, just with a curve on the top joint. Wait till you have wings on your chest and are "safer" from the AF drop kicking your dreams over a finger. Just an opinion based on what I've seen over the years happen to other dudes.

And those guys that just got separated at 15 years (the twice passed over Majors) are going to be PISSED, and rightfully so.

That might be one of Rainman's best posts of all time.

BSODs are non-existent. If for some strange reason it does lock up, you just power it down and back up...about 10 seconds for the reboot. The FAA has decided that two iPads in the cockpit provide enough redundancy for a single one rebooting during a critical phase of flight. If the battery dies, you're the dumbass who didn't charge it or spent all your time playing Angry Birds. My iPad lasts a good 10 hours on a single charge while using the embedded GPS to record the entire flight. The product works better than 5-figure Class III EFBs. Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck is great for world-wide ops and has no additional costs beyond the organization's (USAF) electronic charting subscription. ForeFlight Mobile HD contains all the US and Canadian FLIP, and I expect they will expand their coverage in time, however it is a subscription service ~$150/yr for the geo-referenced US plates (Canadian plates are another $150/yr). You can get updated WX, NOTAMs, and file and "brief" with this program as well if you have 3G data. The RAM Mount (sts) can be configured with a suction (sts) cup (sts) for mounting (sts) on the window, a yoke clamp for mounting (sts) to the yoke, or a glareshield clamp for mounting (sts) to the glareshield. It is quite rugged (sts) and mounts (sts) firmly (sts) in all positions (sts). Supposedly, it even properly mounts (sts) an iPad in an Ottercontainer.

Wait, Beavis and Butt Head are back on the air ?!

Apparently it can't be a tradition if it's not written in an AFI "Ohhh sweet glaaaviinnn, he's right, the ID cards do only say LT! How do we know who is what???!!!"

If the distinction between 2Lt and 1Lt is so important why does my ID card just say LT? Maybe we should start a war on ID cards so we're not losing credibility with the enlisted force every time we roll through the gate /sarcasm
