  1. A question to the old hats, especially the fighter dudes and former FAIPs: Does flying ever become fun again?
  2. I was stuck there 5 months for PIT. I would live on base. Let your buddies worry about the pain in the butt of cleaning an apartment and the worse, getting on base in the morning with all the traffic. There is nothing like waking up 5 minutes before you report to work. Some one will have an apartment that you crash at on the weekends.
  3. Are they still giving props and wings to ROTC homos?
  4. I have never heard (barring an ASR) a center controller give headings in anything less than 5 degree increments (ie heading 175, 285). Was that transmission really heard?
  5. We've had a rash of over-G's lately, quite a few of them flying CT. So, of course the boss is getting mad. Well, he goes cross country, with a pod (g limits 0 to +4). After he gets out of the weather, he decides to porpoise his wingman out to tactical. Well, on the top of the porpoise, he hits -0.05 Gs and of course, he gets the klaxon. Over Gs weren't much of his special interest after that.
  6. I'd like to penetrate CANDI. Ellington Field I think.
  7. I've got over 2 years left on my tour...my first tour.
  8. Anyone know who I can talk to get transfer into the Marine Corps?

    Jeremiah Weed

    Weed is no longer sold in the state of Mississippi, not even in the class 6. It was great justification why we HAD to go to cross country before the next naming.
  10. I bet there are more on this board who didn't "turn down" a T-38 that those who did.
  11. CH, I've been to FL 200 in a TG-3 at the Academy. Denver Center actually opened the wave window for us in the middle of summer. It was probably one of the coolest experiences ever. Got there in a thermal that started at 9k with 2000 VVI and the VVI was pegged passing 180.
  12. Are slots pretty tough to get? FAIPs don't get sh*t in our squadron...
  13. Anyone know about this course down at Randolph. I know it's probably gay, but I had a good time down in San Antone during PIT and I'm looking to revisit some hos down there.
  14. Raptorpilot became Wackerpilot.
  15. Rule #1: Never have the word "future" in your screenname. You are gonna jinx yourself. Just ask Raptorpilot.
  16. We got patches with our squadron commander's name on them. It's funny having 6 dudes walk around with the same nametag. EDIT: Of course, I am a dollar late and a day short once again. [ 05. December 2005, 00:23: Message edited by: Vetter ]
  17. Of the 12 guys in my flight here at CBM, 4 are international. there are 2 low levels in the tweet syllabus.
  18. 430 in a T-38.
  19. T-38C...2700 lb/hr low level, 1800-2000 lb/hr just scootin around, and 1600 lb/hr if we sky hook. 4000# is a full tank.
  20. Ah, another Academy vs ROTC argument. It's funny to me that only ROTC people bring it up. It's kind of like the ENJPPT vs SUPT argument... It's kind of like the Air Force Aviation vs Naval Aviation argument... or the Seminoles vs Gators argument... need I go on? The only people I see making a big deal out of their commisioning sources are the ones that aren't satified with their choices. That includes both Academy and ROTC grads.
  21. KMGM or Shaw [ 16. October 2005, 23:58: Message edited by: Vetter ]
  22. So I guess you didn't hook?
  23. Call 1-800-WXBRIEF
  24. Trying to get a contingent from CBM. I believe the Strikin Snakes may make an appearance.
  25. "high-water mark"? At a time like this? Asshat.
