    I'd say there is an equal chance that this is generic adolescent buffoonery or someone wasn't ready for finals and made a very bad decision on how to give themselves some extra study time.

    Magnet, please don't feed the troll.

    I think we can all agree that if a grown man is beaten up by a 3rd grade girl, then he had it coming.

    The cash back and airline miles are all well and good, but the real benefit to credit cards is the fraud protection. Dispute a wrongful charge with AMEX or Visa and that bitch disappears. Good luck trying to get your money back with your debit card. I learned this the hard way with autobill pay. Also, free insurance on rental cars is nice.

    With all due respect, I think you've evaluated your threats incorrectly. Nothing is pilot proof. I once had a friend short Code 3 a MFD when he spilled a Diet Coke on it.

    Apparently "Acts Like Douchebag" was already taken.

    I'd argue that's a game; bitching is THE sport around here.

    That's all well and good except the conspiracy theorists would have gone full retard. Also, the President would be accused of delaying the announcement for his own advantage since there is an election coming up. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    I loved this part from the WTC article: While WTCP wants $8.4 billion to cover damages, Judge Alvin Hellerstein has limited the amount to the $2.805 billion paid for the leases. In their defense, the airlines say they should not go to trial because WTCP has recovered $4.091 billion from insurance companies. However, Judge Hellerstein has said that at this time he cannot reasonably determine the insurance money covered the damages. Apparently you can be a judge and not know that 4 > 3.

    Honestly, how hard is it to make E-6 by the 15 year mark? Shouldn't your average E-5 at that point have a bunch of firewall 5 EPRS, have 14 years TIS and 8-9 years TIG? They should be rolling in to the test with at least 210* points of the approximately 320 pts normally needed for promotion. They need to average a 55 on the 2 tests to get promoted. Even those who are "bad test takers" should be able to pull off that strenuous feat of adequacy. *( 2 points per year Time in Service = 28, Medals = 5, 0.5 pts per month of Time in Grade x 8 years = 48, EPRs = 130+).

    Why not just call the training unit and ask?

    Well, if we all get the mass email that says "no looking at classified stuff because you don't have the proper clearance/need to know, even though it's all over the internet" we'll know for sure.

    I recall my 2nd day in Afghanistan, trying to find the chow hall with several others. We stopped and looked at each other: every one of us in PT uniform, reflective belt, DCU pattern boonie hat, pistol and holster. We all laughed at the ridiculousness of our appearance and then carried on. Noone is upset that they look ridiculous. What does grate is that: A. There are people dumb enough to actually give a shit about minor uniform infractions in a war zone B. There are a disturbing number of these buffoons in positions of actual responsibility

    How does she not have the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, which unofficially requires 250 hours of work? Hell, she should have 5 OLCs on that thing.

    No, THIS is an absolute shithole.

    Like the others said, aviation is inherently dangerous. Noone who has ever pulled back the stick or yoke and left the runway beneath them can seriously doubt airshows are worth doing. I think entertaining "Ma and Pa Kettle" is a side benefit to the "joy of flight". You're trolling, right?

    Well there's some boobies. Now all we need is Rainman to show up and debrief each individual comment on the last 6 posts and the BODN experience will be complete. Just doing my part.

    Thread derail here, but ... DON"T GO OVERSEAS UNLESS YOU'RE CLEARED!

    Now read the Rand study on RPA pilot retention after that article and realize Big Blue is creating a perfect storm for itself with regards to RPA manning. God forbid we recognize some form of leadership other than PME attendance and Master's Degree completion.

    This. I guarantee it's the gift cards that get people nailed, as that shit can be traced. That or somebody highlighted/incriminated themself on Facebook.

    Nor does it crack the top 10 of the strip clubs, pawn stores, tattoo parlours, liquor stores, and payday lenders all of whom cluster around military bases for some reason ...

    When you owe someone a couple of trillion dollars, they have a bigger problem than you do.

    Unless that Lt Col is security forces at the front gate or works for comm and wants to load some certificates onto that CAC, what business would he have with someone else's ID? He couldn't get the major's name off his uniform?

    That doesn't sound like non-A shenanigans, that sounds like kickbacks. Non-As are pretty straightforward, either they have a room for you at the Air Force Inn or they don't.
