She was able to hide a sharpened stick in one hand while performing oral? You would think her kidnapper would have corrected her poor technique.

https://www.wired.com...drone-grounded/ The state of Hawaii spent $75,000 to purchase a drone to conduct aerial surveillance over Honolulu Harbor, but the aircraft has been sitting in storage since it was delivered last year because authorities have been prohibited from flying it. https://bcove.me/ew8gzx1y

All true. IFS gives one a glimpse into what UPT is going to be like. We emulate it to the degree possible based on the requirements of the limited syllabus and training foot print. UPT is still going to be more of a true fire hose. We teach topics that may be spread a mile wide in width but only go an inch deep into them. In UPT, the information is both a mile wide and a mile deep. Fly safe and do well. Smokey

Best of luck to you -- looks like you're getting quite a bit of good advice on this thread. I feel like I have quite a bit of experience on this topic so let me throw in my 2 cents: 1. Guard and Reserve opportunities will be very beneficial. No matter how aggravating things are, when you pull the plug you'll be surprised how much you miss the camaraderie, the flying and the good times (even though the good times often feel rarer and rarer). Additionally it obviously helps with the $$$. 2. The recruiting companies can/will do great things for you -- resume prep, interviews, etc. It's much more challenging to get a job without them unless you have very strong connections. 3. When you work with the recruiting companies, never forget their guys are paid on commission based on how many hires they place, so do your homework on the companies and opportunities they set you up with. 4. PRACTICE your interviews. Job interviews tend to be surprisingly standard...."What are your strengths? What is your leadership style? Tell me about a time you took the initiative. How do you resolve conflict?" You should be prepared for 90% of the questions they throw at you. 5. Don't underestimate yourself. Companies love junior military officers; that's why there's such a huge industry dedicated to placing them. You have a security clearance, you're reliable, you're trainable, you're probably healthy and physically fit, you're respectful and polite, you've been in stressful sutuations before, you're drug-free, etc etc. There's a hell of a lot of people in the workforce who can't say that. 6. It's a good idea not to buy a house during the first year or two, until you're confident you've attained a good employment situation. Rock the house

So AFPC sees this happen on a regular basis and claims suprise at the number of people who tried to VSP? What's better is their solution is the zero-day, no-notice 365 ITDY. Unbelievable. Well, not unbelievable, but still dissapointing.

She hasn't been tarred and feathered for this whole mess yet. I think her cak chugging abilities are pretty obvious.

CAPTION: USAF Lt. Col. James Routt, an HC-130P Combat King aircraft pilot with the 550th SOS, waits to taxi after transporting two injured Afghan patients to Kandahar Airfield, Kandahar, Afghanistan, April 9, 2012, for treatment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Greg Biondo) Got this from a friend's post about the pic: "A true living legend! A 1970 Oregon State Beaver Alumnus, Lt Col Jim Routt is the oldest flying pilot in the USAF. He started his carrer in the B-52 and was involved in planning the famous Linebacker II operation in Vietnam. Now, over 40 years later, he is flying Combat Kings in Afghanistan." Much respect --- PK...

Can we split this off into a bullying thread? You guys are really fucking up the mojo of the WTF thread.
