Remember this one?? Cheers! M2

Zach That's pretty funny, coming from a comms guy! Doesn't 95% of what you do come from here? Isn't it about time that you guys did another "upgrade" that shuts down everyone's email?? Be careful throwing stones, they might just bounce off the glass walls and smack you right in the face! Cheers! M2

There is already a debate on this by our elected officials (below), and a decent discussion going on here; but I would like to get the opinions of folks on this forum...should we export the F-22? Discuss... Cheers! M2

Here is the article (w/pic) from today's Stars & Stripes... (Click on image for full size) Cheers! M2

This is the route they took... Cheers! M2

I wish I could have seen this... Cheers! M2

I know this is stretching the ROE just a bit, but I really think this is cool! During the three years I was stationed in Belgium, I got to see a lot of these re-enactments, such as the annual Bastogne march and the Mons Tanks in Town. I think it is great that these folks are working so hard to keep the history alive... By the way, 80-yr-old Maurice Sperandieu has done the 20-km walk every year since 1977. I was lucky enough to meet him twice while doing the Bastogne march, and gave him a unit coin when I last saw him in December 2004, the 60th anniversary of the battle. Cheers! M2

You could later down the road apply for an attache job, which being rated will help. It all depends on how well you actually speak the languages...what's your DLPT scores? Do you get FLPP? Oddly enough, I know the Chief of the Command Language Office for the Air Intelligence Agency, if you want PM me some more details and I can send them down to him. He normally worked enlisted issues, but he does know the system pretty well (he was prior RJs, both enlisted and commissioned). Cheers! M2

It is shit like this--instead of real leadership--that makes the USAF Cheers! M2 (Editted to make that ****ing picture a more reasonable size! Click on it if you want the pukable-sized version!) [ 06. June 2006, 12:10: Message edited by: M2 ]

Damn, doesn't anyone on here recognize a joke anymore? "Lighten up, Francis" Cheers! M2

I got drunk with a bunch of Slovak Su-25 pilots in Piestany once, nice dudes, but scruffy! At first I thought they were migrant farm workers. They didn't seem to mind my buying all the beer, it was a per diem bending 1 Koruny (about 32 cents) a glass! They gave me a couple of patches in return. Cheers! M2

What the hell happened to that thread someone posted a while back about a dream where he crashed into an O'Club somewhere where the "spritis" of famous aviators hung out drinking and beating the hell outta each other? Kinda explained how the old crew would've reacted to all of this...they'd be laughing their asses off! Cheers! M2

CH Concur with you on Moore's book; at least in Charlie Wilson's War, you knew there was going to be a high BS threshold...he is from Texas, y'know! A great read, but definitely embellished! How does Not A Good Day To Die compare with Operation Anaconda: An Air Power Perspective? Cheers! M2

Just got Masters of Chaos, as well as Not A Good Day To Die: The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda. Both look like they will be interesting. Robin Moore's The Hunt for Bin Laden was also a good read, but I found the constant references to Jack Idema amausing considering his later fame. Thanks to everyone for some great reading suggestions, I only wish I had more time to read some of these great books. Cheers! M2

This may not be 100% correct, but it will give you a good idea of the NAFs...from a hodgepodge of sources... Cheers! M!

And just for shits and giggles... Cheers! M2

Might also want to try the Army NG web site and the WO Flight Training School... Cheers! M2

You may "elect" to become a WO to fly more, commissioned officers in the Army have very limited flying time compared to a WO; but you would not be required to become a WO. You can check out more at the Blue to Green (B2G) Program and Interservice Transfer (IST) Program web site. For Aviation Branch info, go here. Good luck! M2 [ 29.

Sorry, re-read your post. If you aren't moving, you aren't PCS'ing. No PCS, no DLA. When you actually make your first move, you will get DLA. Sitting at your Det doesn't count. Just curious, why would you expect Dislocation Allowance if you know you aren't dislocating? That seems straightforward enough. Cheers! M2
