And Here I thought the C-17 was following them to the Boneyard so they had a ride home.

Wait, does anyone really think not having your name written in a fucking dash one is even remotely close to deserving of anything? WTFO? Pubs checks are fucking stupid.

So you're saying it doesn't seem to be a problem with the IPs or the studs, studs are hooking for "minute" and "absurd" things, and the evaluators can't figure out what the problem is. How long has the trend been happening? Were there any big changes in check section or leadership that can be correlated to the timing of this trend? My bet is the problem is with both the instructors and the students. If it's "minute" and "absurd" but it's something someone can hook for, then it's probably not minute or absurd (in the context of AETC). Minute and absurd can describe at least 1/3 of what's considered important in UPT.

This is making the rounds today...

Well, they have ops checked almost every MWS in the inventory so I'm guessing it was a ton of fuel. The theory is good since from what I understand this synthetic fuel is made mostly from coal, which we have in our country in large supply. Too bad the president has been unabashed in his desire to bankrupt the coal industry.

What if he was running the speed of sound on a treadmill matching his speed?

Maybe over 50% of the students suck.

Interception practice...

Really? Do you not watch the news? Obama's "crew" has been pushing for more gun control for years, and now they're even more livid after this one incident. But honestly the spike in gun sales is more due to people realizing that they may be responsible for their own protection. I work with both Federal and municipal law enforcement agencies and all those that I have talked with about law-abiding citizens agreed that it is a good idea. They realize that they can't be there for everyone all the time. As the old adage goes, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. I have a good friend who is the chief of police for a town here in Texas and he admits that the police are mainly armed to protect themselves, not others. When they go after a shooter, they are stopping the threat to them not you and I. But as Dave Grossman has pointed out, the world is full of sheep, sheepdogs and wolves. I accept that the vast majority of people fall into the first category, and that the last one preys on them. Some of us fall in the middle, determined to do our best to stop that from happening. Most are like myself, prior military or law enforcement; but a few are just good old-fashion citizens who risk their lives to defend others. Not claiming I could have stopped the tragedy in Aurora, but had I been there I sure as hell would have done my best to try! Cheers! M2

That really screws me up while reading on an IPad

Well, THERE'S your problem...
