Honestly, if all it does is make you puke, sounds like it's not severe enough to be a problem, according to what I read in the quotes from the regs.

I say we squash the whole issue like this: Take government out of marriage make marriage a strictly religious institution. Replace government involvement by offering the following. Civil unions for everyone, define it as a contract between two consenting adults that establishes all the legal rights, benefits, and draw backs that marriage currently has. Grandfather in all existing marriages. Now, the religious groups can define marriage however they want, and it is independent of legal rights and privileges.

Mine for pcola goes up about $100, then down about $80 when I PCS to Moody.

C-130's and many of their variants (at least HC's and MC's) use PFPS. Can't speak to other communities.

I was in CSO Class 12-07... We got a metal MB-4, and had to use it for a few phases throughout UCT. C-130 Nav school at Little Rock has you use it for a few things too. I carry it still as a backup to the backup. No pilot I have talked to has used their after UPT at all.

I wouldn't hold your breath for Pcola... they are terrible about unnecessary ass pain. I'm glad I won't have to spend more then a few weeks there between KABQ and KVAD.

Figured I had to be missing something.

Maybe this is the Law major (BA, not a lawyer) in me getting the best of my analytical skills but this is how I see it. CSAF makes a policy requiring Blues on Monday. Next CSAF removes policy and says MAJCOMs can continue it if they want. This leaves no policy mandating blues on Monday unless the MAJCOM or lower makes one. THUS: No blues on Monday unless MAJCOM or lower leadership says otherwise. Am I missing something? At any rate, when I finish here at KABQ I will be in the same wing as Stract, so I guess worse case is I have to wear blues a couple more times before then.

I honestly thought that the article accidentally showed pics of a Reaper, until I looked closer...

I didn't say it was universally applicable... but it seems like a damn good solution to the problem that Niche has. (clearing flat sandy minefields in windy locations, while spending very little money)

I think that on this issue you can farily do some framing so long as it is not too specific. For example, you can limit it to takes on income including all levels of income tax, capital gains tax, and such (without including sales tax and such). But to limit it strictly to federal income tax, or capital gains tax, etc... is too narrow.

Thats pretty ingenious!

Lets see, I am the first in my direct line to fly, but there were other servicemen: My family: -Grandfather was an Army ordinance Officer, commissioned through the Citadel in 1945, among his postings were Rocket Recovery for the V2 program at white sands, and artillery development at Aberdeen. -Great Uncle was a navy Radar operator in WW2, went to the Citadel on GI bill, served as a Naval Officer in Korea -Grandfather's cousin flew P-51's in WW2 Wife's family: -Great Grandfather was in the Navy in WW2 -Both of her uncles were army, 1 Guard tank mechanic, 1 AD Airborne Infantry (82nd Airborne) -Her great uncle was the 3rd CMSAF, Richard Kisling My parents were volunteer EMTs and my Dad a volunteer Firefighter. I was a volunteer firefighter through HS and college, and drove ambulances for my college's student run volunteer ambulance squad. So with the above family history and my civil service experience, I knew I loved service. I did a year as a normal civilian college student, then realized I wanted to be in the military. I joined AFROTC (Det 750 at St Joe's in Philly, as a cross town student from Rowan University in NJ). I was always interested in aviation as a kid, so I put in for a rated slot. Got picked up for CSO, Dropped HC-130P's out of NPA, my first choice because of my love of rescue work. I just finished the C-130 Nav initial qual at LRF, I go to ABQ for HC-130 mission qual in December.

THIS!

Checks with what I was told: Talons could only be first assignment EWO, Shadows, and Commando II can be first assignment nav.

The whole DoD really should go to either the USMC patterns, or Multicam, these patterns just plain work. I agree with the sentiment that utility uniforms is where we should all look the same, since we fight together. Let the service uniform, and patches be what separates us.

Paint it grey, change the exhaust nozzles and I'd swear it was an F-22 LOL

Nice drop!

I don't know why they are what they are, but I have been chatting with a guy from there while here at Little Rock on TDY. They are definitely a rescue squadron, their mission is rescue, and wear patches with the "K" logo just like the 71st at Moody. I wonder if it was just a matter of what kind of planes were available for the squadron (i.e. they needed a rescue squadron there but only had MC-130P's available) but thats just conjecture. As far as I know the MC-130P and HC-130P are almost identical anyway.

HC-130 units are ACC, and the Guard unit at Moffett (MC-130P's but a rescue squadron with the HC-130 mission) are gained by ACC, but all the MC-130's doing the MC-130 mission are AFSOC to the best of my knowledge.

The ACC Facebook page actually said it was only for CSAF and CMSAF, and only for ceremonial functions... isn't the point of a uniform for us all to look the same? It makes no sense to me to have a separate one for just two people. Edit: spelling/grammar

Got a lot of respect for the worker for how well she handled the situation, stayed calm, pleasant and professional. That said, the video would have been infinitely better if she poured hot grease on him as on poster suggested!
