I figured OSI would track them down off the half license plate, but yeah I could see them going the DogTags route also. Thankfully they'll have the time to do so now as apparently other matters like the Metzger incident and what happened at Dover have already been sorted out.

I know when I was at a certain poo-pond having location last year, all I had to do was go over to the flight doc and ask for some. I had all kinds of trouble sleeping, which could have easily been solved by a ration of 3 drinks, which of course was unavailable/illegal.

Sorry guys, that sucks. I call crew rest about once every 2 years. I made this call in T-6s after being unable to sleep for 2 days straight. I told the assistant flight/cc, fully expecting for his boot to violently strike my testicles. Instead, he said "That's the correct decision, we'll throw someone else on the sortie, go home." So there is good leadership out there.

Lol, 1 star, he could at least have aimed for NAF/CC.

At least there was one article about drinking beer, and it didn't even mention 0-0-1-3.

###### me, I'm actually excited about OutLook right now.

I could understand a "servicemembers only" policy on those grounds. Just treat the dependents all the same, why is this so hard? I believe there is some subspecies of bureaucrat that lives only to make life more complicated for the average guy/gal. TSA = Thousands Standing Around

I wish I could send "Did not read receipts"

Something's better than nothing I guess. Why not just make it "Family members traveling with a servicemember". Someone had to put in the extra effort to make the policy less good, this kind of nonsense I will never understand.

So you and your kid can go thru the fast line, but your spouse cannot. Brilliant.

Because if POTUS gets up on TV and says "This dude is guilty", dude has a pretty solid case for a mistrial since the most powerful man in the world just engaged in jury tampering (or whatever the technical term is).

Totally legal to do this with BAH. It is not legal to do this if you are someone recieving OHA. That may be the cause of the confusion.

Yes, but there is no guarantee of him getting a pilot slot via AFROTC. If you want to serve in one specific job or not at all, OTS is the way to go as that's exactly what you get. He could do 2 or 3 years of ROTC then find out he's going to be a food services officer. Then all his hard work will have been wasted, at least until he gets his cold cuts qual.

This is apparently the fourth largest religion in the UK. If I worked at the office that processed that application, I would have "accidentally" typoed that one as "Jar-Jar Binks".

Yes, but Richard Gere probably isn't headed to PIT as he flew for the Navy.

Sweet, he used his noodly appendage to blur out the SSN. Saves your immortal soul and protects you from identity theft.

HeloDude, you don't have to convince me, I love the film. Patricia Arquette at her hottest. Samuel L. Jackson, Gandolfini, and Christopher Walken as bad guys all in the same movie and Val Kilmer is the ghost of Elvis inciting a dude to murder. I love how at the end, they just bail on Michael Rappaport's character after the final gun battle and it's like he never existed. That's what he gets for being a supporting actor I guess.

Turbine, listen to the guy above, his gouge is fresher than mine. Good luck, get your degree done and hope you make it.

I thought I was the only person who had seen that movie, besides Christian Slater's mom.

I know a guy who I went thru OTS who had a morals waiver and a pilot slot, so it can happen. How it works with a "guaranteed" pilot slot is like so: You get to list up to 3 jobs when you apply for OTS. You can list only one if you want. If you put down only pilot, you will either get picked up for a pilot slot or not at all. I had the chance to talk to a SMSgt who worked in the office that processed OTS applications. His take: Letter of Recommendation from an O-7 or higher will get you in*. This was 2007, so it could have changed since then, but I doubt it. *When you're at OTS and you see that one assclown who has no business being there, and you and all those around you ask yourselves "How the ###### did this idiot get in?", this is your answer.

"Standby for Remediation"

Unfortunately, the kind of people who drink the Kool-Aid and would actually give a shit about what kind of dog you have because of the Regs are alot more likely to live on-base.

My guess is it never occurred to him have multiple signatures, and he preferred the safety of anonymity, which is entirely sensible.

Gotta disagree with you two on him not signing. Discretion is definitely the better part of valor here. Now if 1/2 the class had signed, that might have had the desired effect.

If he was a bad guy he missed an awesome opportunity for a story. I imagine it going something like this: So there I was, landing roll at Bagram when I saw a glint in the darkness. Imagine my surprise to see a Taliban wandering the runway holding an AK-47. Since I was already in the flare, using the gun wasn't an option. I put in just a touch of rudder to displace from centerline and caught the bastard right in the eye with the pitot tube. Not wanting to slow ops on a busy runway, I taxied to the chocks with this clown dangling from the pitot tube, well and truly skull######ed. Erratic airspeed indications were a small price to say for this glorious moment. After the walk around, I had the crew chief stencil a smiley face with only one eye on the side of the jet. Then we high fived in slow motion, just like at the end of Tango and Cash.
