  1. "2" Of course. TPS drops are a common sight at many assignment nights. HD
  2. Yep, that guy was definitely a loon. HD
  3. Reminds me of the sign hanging up underneath the bra: NO HAT/NO SALUTE AREA ------------------------------ HAT/SALUTE OPTIONAL The essence of shoeclerkness. HD
  4. The TACAN-Y is always a popular pick for the Corpus grads. The VOR into HAAB was a bear with the high terrain. The HI-TACAN into OAIX is probably the steepest descent I've seen on an IAP. HD
  5. The Bellville 690 is approved for flying. On a separate note, I'm getting tired of seeing people running around base in BDU's with green boots. They may not have a set of ABU's yet, but they're so damn excited to drink the kool-aid that they'll run out to buy the Bellvilles as soon as AAFES stocks them. While it's true that most squadrons will only issue the pukies now, it also seems that quite a few shoeclerks in the AF tend to have catastrophic boot malfunctions and need a new pair the same day the pukies become available. HD
  6. Wow, that's a lot of words for "Navy ground school". HD
  7. The Blue Angels and the T-Clones are both equally annoying. HD
  8. It depends. Casuals wearing bags in an operational squadron or ops group goes without saying. In the AETC world, casuals at UPT bases usually don't wear bags. But I would say it's more likely if you're casual at a non-UPT base. HD
  9. Uniform nazis usually have no idea what the reg that they are trying to enforce actually says. Most of them just heard it from their first sergeant or read something about in the desert penguin. A simple "Where is that written?" is usually a killer. Whenever a nazi confronts you, look over their uniform as well. Chances are they are also out of regs. HD
  10. FCC's take care of the plane on the road. FE's don't play mx unless they have to. HD
  11. A jet engine that uses it's power to turn a prop. Don't get caught up in semantics, it'll give you cancer. HD
  12. Classic. HD
  13. That video was tasteless, disgusting, and offensive.....I loved it. HD
  14. That's what I'm wondering. HD
  15. That was my point. HD
  16. Technically there isn't. The Boeing designation is the 717. Whether an FSDO will give you a 707 type is beyond me. Anywords from Bergman or Scooter on this one? HD
  17. There's a saying, "If you don't like the weather in oklahoma, wait five minutes." Hot summers, generally mild winters. Lots of rain in the spring. You'll see a little snow, but freezing rain and ice storms are more likely. Enid is in the middle of the great plains, so it's nice and windy. Yes. Enid is in the middle of Tornado Alley. HD
  18. I know what you're getting at. What you're referring to is just a ROTC-ism. Basically, when you get a rated slot, your category changes because you don't have to compete with the other cadets for jobs. Gotcha. It's normal for navs to be in the pipeline for less than two years. Most nav start flying the lines in an ops squadron before they pin 1LT, depending on the MWS. But for discussion purposes, 8 years is a good wag. HD
  19. Rated officers are line officers. Line officer is a competition category for promotion. ADSC big picture: -If you are selected for a rated position, you will sign an ADSC statment. -The ADSC will begin from the date you complete training and receive your wings. -If you do not complete the training, you do not incur the ADSC associated with it. -All ADSCs run concurrently. -Pilot ADSC - 10 years -Nav ADSC - 6 years (Dubs, I don't know if it changed to 8 years or not, but afrotc.com still says 6.) -ABM ADSC - 6 years HD

    That pic was too orderly. The PIT crash pad would probably look more like the "snooze and rejuve" version. HD

    You might consider an Alamo theme... The Bowie Brothel The winner in my book. HD
  22. I wouldn't be surprised. Six months ago, the leadership was already mentioning that MOPP exercised were coming down the pike. HD

    The PIT. (reference to the frat in PCU) HD
  24. Looks like Air Force Blues decided to weigh in on this one. HD
  25. The way he shamelessly shows off his car and bike makes it look like a cry-for-help dating service video. (Link to ebaumsworld) HD
