  1. yes we have an auto mode but there are two different radar systems so I'm not sure which one was on the jet. For us the magenta is turbulence and it can actually cover up more severe weather on our displays.
  2. Day man, sorry to hear this, even as a new guy to the 17, the whole incident still stinks given the amount of conflicting information and criticism of the crew. The fact that you brought a crippled plane back to earth with no one killed is commendable at the least. I recently flew with a sim instructor who was very familiar with you, the circumstances of the event and the investigation, and he shed some light on what happened and your actions as the crew. For better or worse I try not to judge your actions because I still get a pucker factor in the sim when I'm given that situation, I can't imagine going through it in real life.
  3. Most of the guys from my class and all my friends that are pilots from my year group EAD'd within a week of commissioning. It's all luck of the draw, we were all at IFS within a month of commissioning and pilot training a couple weeks later. The only guy in my IFS class from ENJJPT had commissioned the previous December. Bottom line it doesn't matter what base you pick, some of you will leave right away and others will wait a couple months.
  4. AAD & PME first, flying second?
  5. I don't give a shit that the school district thinks an air soft gun is a firearm, I give a shit that they think they can suspend a student for something that happens off their property or not while under their supervision.
  6. When Verizon had unlimited data it didn't matter because you could select roaming data and it didn't make a difference on your bill. Now with the data caps I don't know how it works.
  7. Search called off. RIP to our Navy brethren. https://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/09/23/navy-helicopter-crashes-in-red-sea-5-onboard/?intcmp=latestnews
  8. Damn hyperlinks to other areas, still is dumb. Raul duke look at the hyperlinks at the end which reference you back to hat Bone WSO posted.
  9. According to the reg black socks are authorized in FDUs, unless your base went specifically out of their way to make a local sup with only green socks, which is dumb.
  10. Yeah I know I was making more a point about idiot journalists that write about stuff they don't have the slightest clue about.
  11. Apparently he was a badass terrorist hunter: "It has also been revealed he was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal prior to his discharge in January 2011." They have a block just past the first set of photos that says "Honored for his part in the War on Terror" and lists the criteria for the GWOT and NDSM. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2421980/REVEALED-Gunman-34-murdered-TWELVE-injured-15-Washington-Navy-Yard-rampage-decorated-petty-officer-left-military-2011-previous-gun-charge.html
  12. New reports say up to 12 killed.
  13. Sounds like slick has been given sugar-coated version of reality "handpicked", "by name request", "initial cadre of a new program". Maybe I'm wrong but the nature of his posts on here seem to indicate he was dumped out of his community for a reason and not because his skills were needed elsewhere. *standing by for some middle school locker room insults*
  14. You are correct it matters, C-130 AC that is now a T-6 IP.
  15. I'm confused as to why you are asking if you know. HEFOEP check is a check that students are expected to do regularly (I.e. after a couple maneuvers in the MOA or on radar downwind) to check all the major systems (HEFOEP) and make sure they are operating properly. Also while Lord Ratner is former FAIP in a new MWS, he isn't coming across as a douche FAIP. I had prior C-130 instructor in T-6s that yelled at me when I was going retarded on my patterns before he cut me loose to solo. I didn't get mad or hate him, he was the most chill IP in the flight, I knew he was yelling at me to get my head out of my ass and do what I had been doing well in our previous flights. Everyone responds differently and when an instructor, I respected, yelled at me I got mad at myself and went back and tried/studied even harder. Everyone responds differently and he seems to get it.
  16. A-fricken-men (I almost got on my laptop so I could use the bowing down smiley.) Also when he says learn the radios calls, for god sakes do it, and don't take fucking breath between each word. No one is wanting to hear your best impersonation of James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, I just want you to say what you need to and get off the radio so I can request my clearance to make my fucking low level entry time. We have steam gauges? Why do i need them when I have a HUD and that fancy noodle on my ND Map? (Sarcasm)
  17. https://blogs.wsj.com/peggynoonan/2013/09/10/making-sense-of-syria/ Ouch is about all that can be said.
  18. Fuzz

    PCS Bingo

    Let me get this right you want MPF to load individualized checklists for people, when they can barely not fuck up the everyday routine tasks they have to do? Lay off the crazy pills. (/sarcasm, but seriously)
  19. Also Google Voice cost money to make international calls. For the Record just set mine up tonight after reading this (currently OCONUS) and Talkatone works great.
  20. If our government was responsible with its money, and this was just a standoff strike, I would take the money and add a 15% fee for cleaning up their own backyard.
  21. So the President and his minions (hagel, kerry ect) are seeking Congresses authority to strike, but says he already has that authority strike if they vote no. Is anyone else confused by this?
  22. https://grants3.hrsa.gov/2010/Web2External/Interface/FundingCycle/ExternalView.aspx?&fCycleID=9E7EA909-4562-4FBE-86DA-D5F383C3ACFB&ViewMode=EU&GoBack=&PrintMode=&OnlineAvailabilityFlag=True&pageNumber=1 Apparently multiple deployments in the service of your country qualifies as a reason for government officials to visit your home to check on your kids under Obamacare.
  23. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqJfFrkzf8I Yeah lets help this guy, he only eats the hearts of his enemies, I mean who doesn't want to ally with people who never left the 1400s.
  24. Yeah they're that style of frame but bigger lenses, basically look like a wire frame version of BCGs.
  25. I guess he conveniently forgot about that when he stuck our nose in Lybia. https://freebeacon.com/pentagon-cant-afford-syria-operation-must-seek-additional-funds/ He may be going to them because he needs the money to execute he operation.
