  1. I U'dTFSF but this is probably still a repost. However it is a definite WTF: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Fighter-Pilot-Beyond-Edition/dp/0615434487/ref=cm_rdp_product
  2. https://www.aviano.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123334491 They found his helmet and parachute; people remain hopeful.
  3. So are all female sailors on sea duty who get pregnant. Someone has to backfill their position on the ship or the spot goes unfilled (thanks JPME Level 1!!!).
  4. I wish you the best of luck with USAA. Not many people have had good experiences with their home loan branch. Where in the US is there a seller's market with that kind of competition? (Serious question)
  5. Keep an eye out. Looks like they might let us convert Traditional TSP to Roth TSP.
  6. Minor point: "Commensurate." Carry on.

    The one on the left has an unfair advantage due to her pistol-stabilizing counter-weight system.
  8. Because we all know the standards [for women] will be lowered. It's happened before, it will happen again. No, it wouldn't, because there would be training facilities for women that $$$ were spent on and no one is using them.
  9. Buying Corvettes. Still not sure how to tell the time though. Maybe I'll check iTunes for an app for that.
  10. Oh, man, you're quite the disciplinarian! Look out, badass comin' through!
  11. You do know many of those vests are remote triggered...right?
  12. Minor point: The tax paid is $1250, not $2150. That said, you should probably check out something like: https://research.scottrade.com/public/calculators/ira/ira.asp It might help you see the fallacy of your argument.
  13. All your questions have to do with pulling out (sts) retirement money to fund a down payment. Sure, you can do it if you want, but it is not a good idea. Why are you not looking at a VA loan? You don't need a down payment. The funding fee is rather small. There are even places that will pay a large part of your fees just so they can get your business... Don't throw away long term investment money to make a down payment.
  14. All your questions are very bad ideas.
  15. Correct. If you do not fly for 3 months, you stop accumulating gate months in the 4th month. Sims don't count. The wings are based on 3,000+ hours and >15 years of aviation service. As long as you have a current AO for 15 years of time and 3,000+ hours (or 15 years on AOs and 2,300+ hours with 144+ gate months) then you get the toilet bowl. You get your first set of AOs when you graduate UPT.
  16. Because standards in some career fields were never lowered to include women...I guess that Navy chick that ate the back end of a carrier was up to standards until that point, right? I know many badass chicks who can hack it but we all know the standards will be lowered to get women in the door. Which is sad because it takes away from those who deserve to be there.
  17. I have seen Team Hoyt out at several races. They are all inspiring.
  18. I wasn't aware you could FOIA a safety report...even if it was a Class E HATR.
  19. CH, I don't get it.
  20. That 747 flying test bed is at the Boeing museum in Seattle.
  21. 300/310 is one type. 320 series is another. 330/340 is another. 380 is yet another.
  22. As said before: if you need a BAC+ or MAS to make O-3, you're doing it wrong in the first place. Shut the fuck up Nav. "Leadership and performance in primary job duty." Just ask the pilots I know who are doing great on their AAD but sucking at their primary job how that BAC+/MAS is working out for them. Hint: they're at the bottom of the stack. Perhaps it is a fluke, but from my direct experience writing on people...and talking to Wg/Gp leadership (not their execs)...the AAD only counts if you're already doing your primary job well.
  23. Why pay anything when the AU masters degree is free?
  24. "Half Marathon runner's entry identification (runner number) with 'Big Sexy' as the name" Priceless.
