FIFY

I can see where those who thought that supporting the revolution in Libya might think that the same would be true in Syria, and I can see where the fall of the Syrian regime might be even more in the world's best interest than the one in Libya. Libya was relatively straight forward though - bad guys vs. potentially somewhat less bad guys. Syria has the same, but in a different neighborhood and throw in Hamas, Hezballah and any number of other Palestinian extremist groups (who would be more than happy to take a shot at anyone who set foot in the country) and are overtly supported by Syria and Iran. I could see Lebanon, and possibly Jordan drawn in (probably not nationally, but in a revolutionary sense) and if (when) things begin to implode, who is to say that Assad and his military don't "go Saddam" and launch everything they have against Israel right next door (they've got a pile of surface-to-surface missiles). If that were to happen, all bets are off. Too many moving pieces to guess where they might fall together. What do I know though, I'm just an old mechanic...

Articulated even earlier: George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

Agreed with most of this post. Don't listen to any of that shit above about living local apartments. Get together with 2-4 other Lts (don't worry, half of them will be gone at any one time) and either rent a mansion or live in one of the cities. For $4000-5000 a month you can live like kings and have BAH left over. Listen closely here, I don't have much experience but I do know this: this is the only time in the foreseeable future that you'll be able to live like everyone else wants to. Sooner or later you will meet a girl and marry her. She will most likely have a medium wage job (if at all) and certainly won't want any roommates. THAT's when you'll have the chance to live in a cookie-cutter apartment in Vacaville. What jet are you flying?

And that's why you always submit it. Make someone deny it in leaveweb. Then when you have Use/Lose and they ask why you haven't taken leave, you can tell your "leadership" to eat a dick.

"The liberalism is strong with this one..." Call me old-fashioned, I'm a big fan of vital national interests before going to war. Past and present, it should be to some advantage to the US before blood and treasure is expended.

We've spent the past 10 years doing this. Time to move on.

How about, for once, we mind our own fucking business?

And not one Air Medal. Ladies and gentlemen, one of many examples of how people with wings can be "shoes", too.

I was thinking the same thing. Tell you what big boy! Write that LOC. I bet I win this fight.

Ahhh damn it. That means it was one of us. I cringed as I deduced.

Knew of a squadron deputy revising the leave policy in a squadron while the majority was deployed... since the guys deployed couldn't take leave, neither could those that stayed behind. This deputy was not a pilot or nav.

2. Reading BaseOps doesn't help with that either but the wealth of knowledge here is worth it.

We've gone long enough..... Soon to be NSFW Her name is Ms. Meena. To save you all the googling that will be done... Linky

Pretty sure the 2903 only specifies the height of the upper zipper on the flightsuit, so we may be closer to this than you think. But I hope not.

I vote for Hawaiian shirt Fridays.

The family that slays together, stays together.
