That's funny. I just PCA'd 450 Mx personel into my Sq today. And I get all the administrative control and non of the operational control. Have I mentioned that I hate my desk job???

Him Him :beer:

Here's my 2 favorite Friday patches. Second one was banned by the OG/CC when I was at Tinker. Love both of them.

Bone, I have to ask, why did you put Section 526 in the letter. From looking at the SCRA, I came up with a different section that addresses the maximum indebtedness percentage. I think it was 206. Thanks for the answer, and you can PM me if that's easier.

Rant switch on.... Grow a pair, stfu and sit down and listen to the men who have flown is sometimes for almost as long as you have been alive on this world and think you might learn a little. It's a humbling experience gonig to UPT as a LT....a little bit more as a Capt. Espically a prior rated Capt. I suggest you do the following and things will go a lot smoother. 1. Sit down 2. Shut up 3. Color 4. Repeat until you're through with UPT and have wings. Or here's the better option..... SIE and go be a REMF or a shoe clerk so we can really make fun of you. PS that other thread you started.....LMAO....I'm missing my anniversary for the 5th time in 10 years and my kids first birthday this deployment, so go f#ck yourself you sh!tbag!!! :flipoff: Rant switch...off

Don't give the REMF services division something else to change. Next thing you know that will be on our PT Gear!!

OK my take is biased and old since I'm no longet a Nav and went through Randolph in 00-01. However, even in that time frame the only Nav slots to 135's were to McConnell. So to answer the questions as best as I can. 1. Don't know. I do know they use navs at Whiteman in that capacity. Then again, the B2 never had a nav on board at all. 2. Yes. Don't know. Yes in OIF from where I flew from. (Nav at that time) 3. I'd have to say you need to be the top of the top since they're headed the way of the dinosaur. And possibly look at moving to another MWS if posible after a tour there. 4. Not in the squadron I was in. Again, not a 135, but a plane with 2 GPS and 2 INS. You are the mission planning expert. That's where you earn your keep. I never had a problem with respect. Here's my one good story. I was still a young Nav(by my accounts) and the AC went to the back for a piss break. As he left the flight deck, he looked my straight in the eye and said, "Make sure he (Copilot) doesn't do anything stupid." That's when I knew they thought I was good at my job. 5. Never heard that, and no they don't want to get rid of navs, it's just the way things are going. 6. Yes. And that was the case in 00-01 when I went through Randolph. 7. I wouldn't hang out in Kansas, I'd drive elsewhere....but definitely get the masters early. It's no fun as a senior captain trying to get that and SOS and all the other responsibility that comes with age and rank.

Add to that -your EP says something about ok, let's get this over with -your EP "has to go see the flight commander" (had that one) -your EP "needs to go check the books on a couple of things"

That is so funny and true. Excpet in my former life, the BTDT t-shirt was to send as many people on a Tailswap into the Tax free zone. Makes a TDY that should only have 12 people on it interesting when it all the sudden becomes a 35 person TDY with triple coverage every crew position.

The only problem you'll have as far as swallowing once you get in is ending up in fighters and having to be the new boy...... I keed I keed

RIP

Not if you went to Corpus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

Hooked my final contact check, the recheck, and passed the 89.......My EP was a douche though. Thought he was God's gift to Tweets.

OIF flying out of a base in the Med........16 pulls off the tanker, and checks the code words for the day. Female 16 driver, "Viper 56 is CAMEL TOE"!!!! I thought I was gonna shit myself.

No such luck

Yeah, I know all the things that you told me about moving around every few hours and the like. Thanks for the help. That puts my mind at ease that I can go talk to the flight doc about it without having to turn in my wings. And RedCross.....thanks for nothing.....your advice was less than worthless. I would have gotten better advice had I asked my 7 month old the same question.

I'm hoping someone here can help me find out about a possible problem I have. Here's the background, my dad was a pilot in the Air Force, and has been retired for quite a while now. He recently had shoulder surgery, and developed a blood clot after the surgery. It took forever to try and get his clot taken care of, and it's never really gone away. Along the way in his treatment, he had a blood test and discovered he has what is called Factor V Leiden gene mutation. Basicly it means he's at a higher risk for blood clots than the normal person. Here's my problem. It's hereditary. And I may have it as well. Well, as luck would have it, I just got my pilot wings, and am worried that if I do have this blood problem/gene mutation, it may be a disqualifer and possibly could end my flying career right as it starts. Does anyone know if this blood disorder is a grounding issue? Is there anything in the regs about it. I haven't been tested, and I'm afraid to since it might end my flying career. I'd apprecite any advice that someone might have. Thanks.
