Fighter Aircrew Conditioning Test (FACT) info
I definitely fell into the "walking to and from buffalo wild wings" category. During UPT, I subsisted primarily on a diet of hard liquor and Reese Cups. I did the breathing exercise and strain my first couple of G exs then realized I didn't need to, so I just faked it by making the stupid breathing sounds the rest of the way through T-6s. Granted, we only went to about 7 gs, but I never had any ill effects. Maybe those last 2 gs are a motherfucker, I don't know. The guys who were in great shape were also the same ones puking their guts out. The best way to test G tolerance is probably to actually test G tolerance. If only we had a couple of centrifuges ...

Military in Uniform at Airport
2. He could be Army Corps of Engineers or maybe just a DA civilian. They're just as much at risk downrange from a rocket attack as the rest of the REMFs. I saw bunches of these dudes at OAKN.

Mental Health issues
This is why you never go to the doctor. I go once a year for my physical, and then just drink myself healthy as required. If you can't see through the bullshit questions on a "screening" and see where that's leading, you're not smart enough to be a military aviator.

RPA Crossflow Results
Of course it will get better. We'll go back to real airplanes or go work for someone else. Either would be an improvement over the current situation.

I apologize, I'll cut back on the drunk posting. Sometimes I think I'm funny and then realize later I was just being a dick.

RPA Crossflow Results
Isn't the simple fix to simply auto-promote all pilots without referral OPRs/criminal records to O-4 with an automatic offer of continuation to 20+? Also, to bring this thread back on topic, what is the word on prior MWS dudes getting released back to real jets?

Altus AFB info
I recommend Monarch Village. It's right out the front gate, and they have furnished apartments for about what you would pay on base. I'll caveat this was about 3 years ago.

Yes, and those guys knew once they got to Berlin, they got to go home. Today we don't have that. I remember something from OTS about setting clear, measurable, attainable goals.

Bin Laden dead!
I was hoping the thread bump was that treasure hunter finding the body, and doing something hilariously awful to it. So disappointed.

The difference is that those of us in the MAF never operated under the misconception that any one gave a shit about us; that's why you don't see any of these letters from the tanker/airlift side of the house.

Dog Breed Restrictions in On-Base Housing
I'd get paperwork saying the dog was something else, that way you're not leaving it up to someone else to "figure out". If it's an open question, you're putting yourself in a situation where someone else can supply the answer.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
Yes and the Boston Braves won one (1914), and the Milwaukee Braves won one (1957), same franchise. Had that fat fuck Tim Welke not been in Jermaine Dye's way in game 4, Atlanta would have had at least one more title. Easily the worst post-season officiating in the history of the sport (The Jeff Maier "home run", Welke blocks Dye from catching that pop-up, and Marquis Grissom was safe by a mile in game 6). Oh well, at least they aren't the Cubs. Let's get back on topic.

"War on Islam" course suspended at JFSC
I heard "not for attribution" once. Even as a 1Lt, I was smart to understand that this meant "for attribution". Why is ned kelly wearing an english flag?
