Becoming an O-5 doesn't turn you into a douchebag. A douchebag O-5 was a douchebag O-4...and most likely everything that came before that.

Sweet baby Jesus, I might be the only one left! Maybe the fact that I JUST PCS'd might have something to do with my retention. It definitely wasn't my "on track for AETC SQ DO!" push that I got on my last two OPRs (from a real sweetheart).

Hey now, I thought Jessica Rabbit was pretty damn hot back in the day. If you disagree with me then you're obviously a homosexual...'not that there's anything wrong about it'.

My recommendation, don't do it. You'll have to get some small modifications done to the car, mostly the headlights and getting a fog light added to the rear bumper. Depending on the shop you take your car to this can be done very poorly or in an okay fashion. The real problem is that your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car in a country where the roads are already not exactly laid out to optimize visibility. Keep in mind also the people in Europe do not view their cars as importantly as people in America do. If someone dings your car or bumps into it when parking, don't expect them to do anything about it. That's not to say they're all sh*t bags, they just don't care as much. So if you really like your car and want it to look perfect, I wouldn't bring it to Europe, personally. That said, there are plenty of people stationed here who have American spec cars, and they seem to do just fine. I personally am happy to not have to think about whether or not my cars going to be damaged, because we just bought two used cars when we got here. Size is also an important consideration, as you mentioned with parking. You don't need to drive a Smart car to find a parking spot out here, but it helps. There're some people out here who have pick up trucks, and personally I don't how they do it. If you have any other questions about England feel free to shoot me a private message. Or ask here, it doesn't really matter.

Why? 1. Because it is a professional certification for pilots. I happen to be a professional pilot. 2. Because I enjoy flying. And if I'm going to spend time flying, I see no reason not to brush up on the FAA/ Civilian part of things, and get the rating. It was a great time. 3. Because I get to opportunity to learn something from the IP and the DPE that I worked with. 4. Because it gives me another opportunity to interact with my local FSDO. As it turns out, my FSDO is made up of a great group of inspectors, and I have a very good rapport with them. 5. It gave me the excuse to get checked out in another aircraft. I like that. I'm up to about 95 different types that I've flown. I'm a better pilot for it. 6. I could list more, but you get the idea. But if it's too much of a hassle for you, don't bother. I guess.

Practicing on my own dime is one thing...using the SE-COMM checkride to "practice" is another. Cap-10 Posted from the NEW Baseops.net iOS App!

No way, it's all good...

We are not in combat. Not to take anything away from the good work we have done over the last 10+ years, but it ain't combat. When there's a real question of whether you or your wingman will come back from a sortie - that's combat. The reason for all the queep and lack of focus is because there are very few individuals left in the Air Force who have experienced that.

I get it.... I just don't agree with it. The commercial rating is all about smooth maneuvering throughout the flight regime. The ATP is a boring collection of a few approaches. Which will give you a better background to instruct students? The commercial.
