  1. Don't they say the most dangerous dudes are the 500-1000 hour folks?
  2. He said mock fights, that shit is straight-up mutiny!
  3. Video interview with the SEAL that shot UBL is released
  4. I'm calling BS...that article said 10 women. Clearly a dude.
  5. I've always wanted a GoPro camera -- turns out I just need to get with the unit...easy money!
  6. 'I wouldn't be so paranoid if everybody wasn't out to get me...'
  7. Intake in grams per second is much higher than you'd expect. The zeo filters would probably need to be replaced frequently and my guess is that they aren't cheap. Forced induction and intercooling is fairly simple but the whole gas mileage thing is what kills your combo.
  8. Wired reported 2 60s with 2 47s as backup.
  9. I smell a conspiracy theory... Edit Playing devil's advocate, I don't give a shit either way.
  10. https://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17372-can-you-still-wear-black-boots-in-flightsuits/page__st__180 https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTk27sUUxZ7M%26feature%3Drelated&feature=related&v=Tk27sUUxZ7M&gl=US
  11. Point is, there are far and few between. We all know the pay scales.
  12. You know many A1C homeowners? If so, the kind of house an O-4+ would be looking at?
  13. If you didn't go to the zoo, then you won't get it. I fail to see how an academy grad separating at 5 years is any different than a ROTC dude punching at the same time.
  14. I don't trust a flightsuit to give much abrasion resistance. I got a pair of ADV Willow pants but will be returning them. Fit is odd for SM riding, but they seemed nice. I am still looking for some overpants to throw over normal clothes for abrasion protection.
  15. I haven't tried to ride 2up, but I have some time on the Ninja 250. IMHO, riding 2up on either of these 250's will be limited to a parking lot. MCN did a comparo of the 250R vs GT250R, . CN's -Ninja tires are shit -Hyosung build quality is even more shit -Their rec: get the Ninja
  16. My comment was in reference to Smith's father, but I understand what you are saying.
  17. "I guarantee you if he was standing in front of me, he'd be asking for forgiveness, and I would give it to him." Holy shit, I can only hope to be half the man this guy is given the situation. What a serious warrior the father is. RIP for the fallen.
  18. Any single contributing factors?
  19. Wondering if I should sell the bike (not even registered yet) and pick up skydiving. Sounds just as thrilling with a lot less to worry about externally.
  20. Why do people feel the need to say 'hand' after giving a direction? "Blew both right nut(sts) main tires and he went off the left side of the runway." Makes just as much sense...
  21. Short runway, heavy jet...maybe overbraking? Are the brakes tied to anything electrical?
  22. Saw this on the news yesterday while at the BK lounge before stepping. That first dude being interviewed sounded like Ah-nold.
  23. I understand the customs and courtesies...but the reality is, Lt's do not salute each other. It isn't lost on me, I just don't live in their world and thus I don't play by their rules. If I was a young officer maintainer and the norm was to salute ANYONE superior to me...then I probably would. The fact of the matter is I am not. I don't need to go tit for tat on this because it's a moot point: ASBC is expensive and offers little (if any) value.
  24. Boat captain rode out tsunami https://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/04/03/japan.tsunami.captain/index.html?hpt=C1
  25. Clearly a worthwhile program when such controversial issues like Lts saluting each other are debated with such passion. God only knows what type of hooligan officer I would be if I didn't salute an O2 as an O1. Shit, if I don't salute a 1LT as a 2LT then how can I be trusted to fly in combat?
