Tops In Blue - We've been waiting for you. HD

I've never heard the term "zero day". My guess is you're referring to the first day of UPT. The first day is nothing more than inprocessing, meeting classmates, and briefings. For class spouses, there aren't any official functions. It's up to the students and their wives to plan activities for the class outside of duty hours. It's a good idea to have the class get together for a cookout/boozefest the first weekend. HD

Services....We've been waiting for you. HD

Your first assumption was the correct one. HD

??? I thought the AF was still doing 10 years starting from your winging date. HD

I'm sorry, could you please repeat that? I was busy setting my altimeter. HD

The big picture has been hit, I'll give you some details. Drop: Like hotel said, it will be during the work week and no family or ceremony is involved. The week prior everyone will fill out a dreamsheet. The following week, the AF members of the"class" will meet with the AF admin guy. He will show the list of what dropped and will show the class's rank order based on their NSS scores. After that everyone picks from what's available by rank and generally there will be some horsetrading between the studs. No trumpets, no fanfare, everyone picks their plane and goes home. From there the studs receive orders within a week or two. Winging: Like Baseops said, in the AF it's a week long dog-and-pony show. In the Navy it's a one day thing. The studs take their family on a tour of the squadron in the morning to see the planes. In the afternoon, they take their families to the sims. I think both of those were optional. Before the ceremony starts, the studs will break their wings so they have them handy for the ceremony. The actual ceremony is in the evening. Studs will be in service dress, wives and family just dress nice casual. IPs and studs who aren't in the ceremony just wear bags. Standard Ceremony: 1) Quick guest seaker (15 min tops) 2) Corpus mayor says thanks (5 min) 2) Present wings (Handshake, pin, photo, done) 3) Group photo After that there is a short "formal" reception. You'll talk for a few minutes and eat some snacks. From there the REAL reception starts. Everyone moves over into the O'Club bar and the studs usually go change into bags. Booze it up, ring the bell until you're broke, UPT complete. After that, the gaggle will usually end up at Farah's or the Executive Surf Club. Most Corpus grads like the Navy-style graduation. I thought one day of pomp and circumstance was more than enough, not to mention it took me about three days to recover from the hangover. HD

Winner: Best Rebuttal in an Offensive Role. HD

Whether the F-15 vid was a mistake or someone pulled a fast one on PA, I love it! HD

Winner: ClearedHot HD

Ouch! HD

I graduated a month prior to the USAFA grads and my DOR was pushed to the USAFA grad date. Bogus. HD

No need to close it yet. If the thread is getting old to you, then don't read it. HD

I'd rather give Whiterock a chance to own up. Still waiting. HD

Alright Whiterock, what's your story now? Bunk22, Scribe, and Alfakilo have all produced evidence that you're a fake. Not to mention that we are on version 4 of your story. This is your chance to man-up, apologize, and press on. HD

Look Attila! I can do it too! HD

It's always a fun day here at crucibleops.net! HD

I can see ClearedHot in his Hybrid Gunpig. "Yeah...because I like to be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem. Thaaaaanks." HD

The only thing that will hush the fury is when Whiterock answers Brickhistory. HD

Scribe, don't you have some questions to answer? Edit: For those not in the know, Scribe is legit. HD

The IFF is all of the modes. Exactly. That's the problem. Not only do his stories fail the press-to-test, but his repetitive little missed details don't add up. I still have yet to meet a pilot who couldn't spell "FNG" and then blamed it on being one of the old school. Let's quit worrying about him. The guy's a fake and everyone knows it. If he answers Brickhistory's questions, we'll see. He's had about 12 hours to google up some answers. HD

I'm not surprised, that's the only thing that he was willing to put to the test. But having a .mil address isn't enough to verify his story. BrickHistory is still waiting for his answers. HD

1) You can post your googled images without the help of a moderator. 2) Yes you can PM here. 3) I wouldn't know if you registered with a "us.af.mil", you have your email hidden from public view. 4) You don't need a moderator's help to verify your claims. BrickHistory gave you ample opportunity. Standard response. HD
