Sooo, you're saying Rainman was scared off by a bunch of Fucking Navs? He does know they're not real people, right?

Weak.

Nor do they have souls.

Really...he's going to let the 1% drive him out? Since when did Rainman develop a sandy vagina?

He is alive and well...he won't be back. He is sick of the 1% of Baseops that insists on throwing shit on the wall just to get a reaction from others. Thank the Nsplyrs, Vertigos, and CHSLoads of the world and ask yourself what contribution they have made here? This was once a great site to share wisdom on careers in military aviation...it has morphed into a place where a small minority spew their political views non-stop. Sad and not what Rich intended.

Their eyes are wide open, dude. Especially that guy in the front.

I shouldn't have watched last night's episode. It was good, but definitely brought back bad memories. It is tough to watch, but I love that this show attempted to displayed the tragedy and insanity of war. 99.9% of Americans don't understand what is going on to the men and women serving over there. Picking up the dead and dying day after day can do incredible things to your sense of normalcy. It is surprising how normal a GSW can seem on a daily basis. I still remember my first missions over there and just thinking...this is insane. We go out and see the worst of the worst...when we get back to the TOC, dudes (officers and enlisted) just go back to playing X-BOX or whatever they were doing. I always encouraged my crew to check up on our really bad patients when we got off shift. It wasn't for everyone, but it made me feel better. It is hard to describe what war really looks like...and granted, we are only there to pick up the wounded. We are rarely in the actual fight that caused the injuries, but it is still impossible to describe. The look of desperation, fear and chaos seeing the injured carrying the dead to the helicopter is impossible to really describe. I don't give a ###### who does more missions, who's balls are bigger...I am just glad that someone is there to be there for the men and women on the ground. Cheers to Tricky, Dustoff and Pedros alike.

Plus...learning to fly in T-28s and T-33s must have been awesome Huggy!

So apparently the ROK had a cyber attack this week: https://news.yahoo.co...-015253680.html According to the article it was linked back to an IP address in China but due to the targets selected (banks and media companies) the culprit is thought to be good 'ol N. Korea - or N. Korea sympthathizers located in China. China apparently goes after esponiage type material in their attacks. Anyway, what struck me was the picture of the "Cyber Terror Response Center". While illegal, and if executed by a state actor, arguably an act of war - I don't see how you can really link not being able to access your bank account to terrorism (due to the lack of violence). Now, if you were standing in line at the ATM next to a suicide bomber and could not withdraw cash because you were dead - that would be terrorism. Is cyberterroism possible? Maybe if you used hacking to actually kill people. I think that word gets thrown around so much by national governments that it is dangerously drifting from its actual meaning. Which, according to our government is: “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85). Less words more pictures!!
