  1. That's probably a more sanitary option than Febushary, Armpit Hair April, or Queeftober.
  2. Could you enlighten us on that speech? Back on topic: there is probably nothing Welsh can do to fix the RPA manning problem in the short or medium term. Being an RPA pilot sucks, so people with options are going to leave. The options on the civilian side are going to increase. Quality of life for people wearing flightsuits inside shipping containers isn't going to increase any time soon. This problem is going to get alot worse before it gets better.
  3. I will concede my argument is invalid at release if the discussion shifts to snowmobile engines.
  4. If you're eating MREs for more than a day, you'll need an emoticon thats violently expelling matter from a different orifice. That said, don't whine in front of the other services, they're probably getting their pay docked to pay for those MREs.
  5. I fucking hate my job, but a quarter million is significant money. I'd still leave for a good deal contractor job, but that 250k would keep me from jumping to the guard or reserve if those were my best options. If I could have it all upfront, I might even stay on AD instead of promoting myself to the exalted rank of Mister.
  6. Also, please explain the T-1 hate. God forbid the USAF buy a modified off the shelf product and use it to provide relevant training at a significantly reduced fuel cost while simultaneously reducing wear and tear on T-38s which are already ancient. With all the current acquisitions buffoonery, shouldn't the Tone be regarded as a rare triumph?
  7. Presumably he looted it from the corpse of Walter Mondale, whom he bludgeoned to death with a pillowcase full of 525 electoral votes.
  8. WTF is a mosquito striper. Urban Dictionary has nothing.
  9. That's exactly it. I'm 99.69% sure this varies by base.
  10. I can view these forums from work, but cannot log in to post. I suspect that's widespread and is affecting the baseline level of activity here, especially during the week.
  11. There is an excellent white paper on this topic. I'll look for it the next time I'm at work.
  12. I think the solution is simple*. Designate your bases that are generally considered as undesirable as such, and people who go there get a controlled tour with either a bonus or base of preference afterwards. *Everything in war is simple, but the simplest things are difficult. - Clausewitz
  13. TINSTAFL, but sometimes you can get a third party to pay for that lunch.
  14. Saran Wrap is for amateurs. This is the real thing.
  15. Always glad when someone comes out the other side unharmed. Well done.
  16. Good advice, but be aware there are snitches in all paygrades.
  17. I'd recommend contacting the apartment management and asking them to send you a copy of the reciept.
  18. Am I the only one who thinks we shouldn't have done this, but that the much bigger foul is talking about it? Anyone could get out of hand while "questioning" a Talibanimal, but poor OPSEC is inexcusable.
  19. Guard RPA should consider it, assuming the funds are available. If their mission changes back to manned, what do you do with a squadron full of 18Xers? It's an unlikely contingency, but worth considering.
  20. So we need to stop invasion via container ship. I know just the guys for the job:
  21. I think that one was covered in that play where they act out the accident transcripts? That shit was hard to watch.
  22. That's awesome. Now someone tell 2Lt Poochy to stock the fucking snackbar.
  23. 15 mires to the Rove Shack.
  24. I'm praying none of my Lt's see this post.
  25. It also, shares certain ... interests. Let us celebrate their commitment to diversity.
