Fuck keeping your personal firearm in the SFS armory.

Because the Squadron Commanders are telling them morale is high and the numbers they are given tell them retention is fine.

New Air Force Mission is to Sing, Dance, and Entertain! … in air, space and cyberspace.

You can try this technique if the queep is piling up excessively. 1) Send yourself a GINORMOUS ppt file. Wait until you get a "mailbox is full" warning, you may have to send it a few times. Good work, now your email is inop and if someone really needs something they will either find you in person or call you. 2) Go fly / do something tactically relevant. *3) IF you want to get your email back delete the messages and empty your trash. Don't forget the sent items. *Not recommended

Happy Easter everyone

ETA: "He will also bring an entourage that is significantly larger than any two star." Further proof that we aren't as broke as we think we are.

Never put your weapons in the SPS armory. Find some other way to comply with the rules...leave your weapon with friends, family, whatever... Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Ahh, the ole Petraeus technique.

At least he's only missing the weekly shirtless beach volleyball game with the bros.

I totally believe he's subject to retributional career discrimination, and I hope he weighed the pros/cons of talking to the media before proceeding the way he did. If he thought the DoD would pat him on the back and buy him a beer for airing dirty laundry on the news, he's the most naive man in the world. In all fairness, comments like "one of my top wingmen" are not exactly sterling remarks on an OPR. Putting "premier tactician" on an OPR is just another way to fill white space. Let this be a cautionary tale to the rest of us. Sometimes talking to the media will seem like your only option, but don't forget that it comes at a severe opportunity cost. Fence in before you make that decision, and be ready for what happens next.

Blue symbolizes leadership and Orange symbolizes cowabunga, dude.

Was flying a T-38 Form sortie with my room-mate who was an excellent stick, but not in formation. I'm solo, he's with an IP. We start doing a set of close trail, and I'm hanging in nicely a few feet behind him. All of a sudden I notice the world spinning around me at strange perspectives along with the onset of some G-force, which was never part of any close trail I'd ever flown. I realized that my Bud never sent me back to extended trail and I was tucked in behind his jet the whole time during some aggressive, over the top manuevers. About the time I'm starting to realize this is going to be a monumental BUST, He whips into a right turn and calls out "Taco 54, rejoin right turning" I counted 10 Mississippi then gently turned towards his right wing and moved up about 20 feet into position (I should have been a thousand feet away) as I moved into position I noticed the IP wasn't even looking for me, as they usually did because rejoins could get hairy sometimes. I remember him spitting some tobacco juice into his druel cup and as I slinked into position he did a double-take! and then gave me a thumbs up. On the way back all I was thinking about was how bad this was going to be, and whether I would bust, my room-mate or both. Plus I'm pissed because I knew my room-mate screwed up but I wasn't going to drop dime on him so I'd end up busting for his Fu$# up. After we landed I grabbed him to the side and asked him, "Did you ever send me to Extended Trail?" He looked puzzled and said, "I don't know, did I?" "No!!!" I told him I was 5 feet away from his tail the whole time. We agreed the best thing to do was fess-up and take the punishment. During the debrief the IP was getting closer to the portion about our extended trail and I was dreading the moment, Then it arrived and he said, "How did extended trail go for you today?" I was about to explain when he interrupted and said, "You must have had a fast jet today because I never saw you at all!, You must have been in our 6-o'clock cone the whole time!" I couldn't believe it!! I quickly stammered, "Yah, I hung out behind you most of the time because I had too much smash!!!" then the best part, he gave me an excellent because he said, "Well, you must have been in position because when we called for the rejoin you were like, right there! I couldn't see you and the next second your parked on the wing! Good Job!!" Talk about LUCKY!!! The night of our graduation dinner we took him aside and told him what really happened!

Same shit, different medium... Why can I have enough gigs in my Yahoo account to hold emails from college, but my AF Outlook locks up after sending one attachment? And does anyone else have issues with the quote buttons on this forum?

I think it's stupid that I'm allowed to print out PII (like, say, a recall roster), and enter everyone's phone numbers into my personal cell phone from the paper...but I can't email the recall roster to my personal email address.

If you are ever in an interview that asks you that question... a. You are doing it wrong. Raise your standards. b. You need to stand up and leave that interview... run as fast as you can. c. re-evaluate what you are looking for in a career job, as a pilot with quality turbine time. d. tell your friends what happened so they will not make that bad choice also. e. All of the above. E.

I respect that Michael Bay took a story about mutant turtles doing martial arts in multicolored bandanas and said "not stupid enough".
