Don't we all?

I feel like I have a very strong package. My AFOQT scores and PCSM score are almost maxed. I've got my PPL, lots of combat hours, good pushes, and nothing negative on there. I've had a couple guys look over it who got picked up before and said it looks really strong. Is not having any letters going to look bad enough that I would get passed over against someone with a weaker package but has letters?

If Texas wants to go I say have at it. Only thing I'll miss is Austin. And the BBQ. And the blondes with the big....awww shit, Texas come back....PLLLEEASE baby....we promise we'll treat you right this time.

Too bad Tom Clancy died.

I also guarantee there are a few states here watching this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Moose's Memorial information:

I agree with you. When me and a lot of my buddies came in, the goal was always O-5 and flying Sq/CC. That was, and still is in my book, the pinnacle. Anything beyond that is gravy. Imagine the good you could do for people and the USAF if you didn't give a shit about going beyond that! Somewhere along the way we have become infested with back stabbing dipshits who all think they are GO material (Rhat, Bence, et al).

Still driving a 92 F-150 4X4 with a 5.8l with 219K and everything still works except me.

I upgraded from a 2002 to a 2011 F-150 4x4 XLT. I routinely haul a race motorcycle and my equipment with me to tracks. Pros: - 5.0 has a lot of power, cruise just under 80 for hours and get 15.5 MPG. 80-85+ you can tell that it is not shaped like a Corvette. - Cabin noise is pretty silent - 15.2 MPG commuting to base on 87 octane. EcoBoost requires 91/93. - The digital dash has a cool flat panel screen that gives you neat info about your truck (mpg, servicing, truck climb/roll angle, front wheel deflection.) - Every part of it feels like it is built like a tank - Turning radius is significantly better than my 2002. - 36 gallon tank is awesome - Brakes are awesome. - No issues with the tailgate supporting myself, a 400lb bike, and ramp weight. Cons: - It's too f'n big. I wanted a Tacoma but they're nearly the same size, and haven't been updated since 2005. - Blind spots. The improved side mirrors help, but the rear seats are set up so that the headrests block the corners of the truck when looking behind to back up. - Nitpicky, but because everything is bigger, it takes two hands to put on the seat belt as opposed to one motion in my older truck. Pedantic, but annoying. - Stereo was lesser quality then the Dodge Ram 1500 rental I had. The dot matrix 2 line radio screen looks a bit hokey compared to the sweet LCD in my dash. - The MPG it calculates is exactly .5 MPH too generous every fill up. - It's too f'n big. Bring back the Ford Ranger. - With the Ford OEM bedliner, the hooks are set into the plastic so they are a pain to get tie downs on - With a 36 gallon tank, most pumps automatically shut off at $95/$100 so you have to do two transactions every fill up. - The center bench seat is awkwardly big when down, yet awkwardly flat to sit in when up. Also, the headrest blocks your rear view. If I had to do it again, I'd definitely buy the truck, but get one with a backup camera. I'd also wait for the 2015 F-150s coming out here soon.. They have all new engine options and a potential game changer of an all aluminum body that gives dramatic weight savings.

Might be NSFW for language, but pretty funny. Chevy Silverado Parody 2 - Amiri King:

Second everything above. He was an awesome guy to fly with and work for. He will be missed.
