  2. It beat you to the WTF thread... But still, ridiculous.
  3. I bought mine off the rack in Pop's. They have just about every size with every form of the mod's on the shelf. You can also have them measure you and get one custom made.
  4. Not more authentic. Wool collar is a Navy thing. I know some guys that had it put in, but most do not. As far as the liners, i havn't seen any fur liners inside the main part of the jacket. The "3m Thinsulate liner" is standard and is what I have, and I don't wear it unless its down near freezing because its too warm otherwise. Do get the fur liner in the pockets. Its awesome and really helps keep your hands warm.
  5. Or that they don't understand why that video is embarrassing. I mean, those were some legit concerns he brought up...
  6. I watched a 747 do a go around for a C-5 taking its time on the runway from my office window a few weeks ago.... I'm surprised the world didn't end.
  7. I didn't see this posted anywhere. Is this still news everytime we do this in a new airframe? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/04/05/flying-combat-landing-history/?test=faces
  8. What if you interservice transfer and they put you in E-6's after having Corporate jet experience in C-21's? Are you cool with that?
  9. - Co's have been upgrading min time ~18 months, but expect that to change now that there is not an AC void - overseas assignments are 2 years if your single, 3 if you are married, normally with the option to extend a year for both. Stateside is 4 years - Most guys from ETAR recently have done Dyess or Cannon for slick J's or AFSOC J's, some have gone to Little Rock as well. J model guys are high demand right now, but you have 3 to 4 years so things could change. With multiple squadrons standing up though it will probably remain similar. Thats all I've got, I'll let someone who knows more about the other questions answer them.
  10. A couple of weeks ago they were having issues with their NIPR side e-mail, thats why they were doing the SIPR stuff. You should still be good to go with NIPR.
  11. I was on casual and went through UPT with him. Such an awesome person. Always trying to do the right thing in every part of his life. Great loss to everyone that knew him. Can't believe he is gone. A toast...
  12. I went to Incurlik a couple of weeks ago and after we landed headed over to customs to get our orders stamped. Right as we pull up in the crew bus we notice a large coach bus that was parking next to us, and about 50 dudes in wierd looking blues got out and beat us into the line for customs. We got in line behind them and were pissed, cause it was eating into our limited drinking/shopping time. Then we realized that these guys were TIB. A C-17 crew pulled up right after us and was waiting behind us, when their AC starts skipping the line. So our AC skips the line and tells the customs guy we need to get through for crew rest issues. 5 minutes later we are stamped and on our way, the whole time all the TIBers were staring at us with a look of shocked anger that somehow we were skipping them in line. It was awesome.
  13. My eyes!! I knew clicking on that link was a bad idea...
  14. Cannon is an AFSOC base. They arn't getting any slick J's. They are getting MC-J's soon. Corpus does this fairly regularly where they have the wrong plane on the sheet to the wrong base, and it has bit people who didn't know before hand going into the drop. All of a sudden your base/aircraft is not what you picked 2 or 3 days after the drop and they usually won't/can't do anything to fix the situation. Have that in mind when you are looking at the assignment list.

    This thread gets more and more entertaining.
  16. Part of it is they havn't increased the amount of guys going to Corpus, but they have changed what Corpus can drop. Now people are getting U-28's, MC-12's, UAV's, NSA etc. on top of the herks, whereas it used to just be herks. Still need to get those herk pilots from somewhere and they are getting less of them from Corpus now.
  17. Then all the ROTC cadets that piss you off will just say they are Lt.'s and dork up threads anyway, and the ones that don't piss you off will be the ones that follow the rules.
  18. Bigfoot sighting! Nice video Chuck.
  19. Part of it is if you leave that site up, and someone finds it a year from now after you are done with T-6's, it could be a lot different then what the current boldface is. Also, if someone is a year out from pilot training, and downloads that and memorizes it and assumes thats how it will be in a year, it could bite them a little when they are relearning boldface. I think he is just giving those guys a heads up. It isn't an issue for you as much if you are already there and have access to the new boldface as it becomes current.
  20. I'm glad you are taking the word of a fired tutor for an online music class. I know its wrong, but if every student who ever cheated on an online test was kicked out of school nationwide, college would be a lonely place. And 24 gators have been arrested since 2005. Their average SAT score is 890 Compared to FSU's 941. That puts the gators in the bottom 10% of college football programs nationally. Y'all definitely have the nations best and brightest playing for you.
  21. Waiting to get on base this morning, the dude in front of me was chatting it up with the civilian gate guard, so I was just sitting there slowly getting frustrated. Then I hear the 2 skycops behind him talking, an airman and an NCO. The airman says "I don't really like giving out tickets." The NCO says "I used to be like that but now I love it." At that point I rolled my eyes and pulled forward.
  22. Lots of pictures of her, none with a good close up though, so im skeptical. Also, here is our man in action. *got it from AF times article*

    Sabotage is 15 years old, and from last decade. Only 4 months left in this decade. Time flies.
  24. "A legacy system is an old system that continues to be used, typically because it still functions for the users' needs, even though newer technology is available." I don't see how that is an attack at all. 1960's-80's technology still being used cause it gets the job done, even though 90's-00's technology is out there. If people are offended by that, then all I can say is damn.
