...and now it's made it to Snopes.

Highly recommended.

If you want to do it in the true fasion of a roof stomp, you'll just show up. However, depending on the wife a call may sometimes be warranted - NOT to warn her, but to let her prepare. A smart wife (mine included) would make sure that there's beer in the fridge and maybe even chuck a frozen pizza or two in the oven. In my B-Course we roof stomped our SQ/CC, SQ/DO, and class manager. The first one was the SQ/CC and of course we were a little nervous on the protocol, so we called his wife to make sure they'd be there, etc. Not only did she welcome us -- and promise not to tell him -- she went to the store to get several cases of beer and had a huge sandwich catered from Subway. She hid everything in the garage until we got there - he had no idea we were coming (sts) until we got there.

Raleigh? Only if you're a big fan of long commutes -- it's over 60 miles from Fayetenam to Raleigh. I know two guys at Pope, both live in a small community named Vass that's about 20-30 minutes from base.

Here's what happens when you divert your F-15E into an unnamed A-10 base in the AOR and leave it unmanned at the mercy of the Hawg drivers.

Current Wing CC. As for the SQ/CC, ditto Hoser. He's an outstanding guy and he thinks this is absolute bull$hit - but he knows which battles to fight, and this unfortunately isn't one of them. He fully supports singing songs with girlie bits and telling raunchy jokes, he just can't sanction it in the squadron.

The SQ/CC pulled aside the mayor last week and told him to pass along the WG/CC imposed ROE on songs, stories, and things that would be uttered in the squadron bar. We are to no longer sing songs that have 'girlie bits'. NSTFS - we can no longer preface our songs with "How does every good fighter pilot song start?" I can no longer sing to the world that I love my wife, yes I do, yes I do. Any stories that are told must conform to the same standards. I should hope that this frightening trend does not extend past Seymour Johnson. Please, young SNAPs, continue to sing the beautiful songs of dead whores by the roadside. Hold on to this tradition or soon we will all be uptight UAV pilots telling knock-knock jokes at the water cooler. It is a sad day in the Air Force - chalk one up for the shoe clerks and everything that is wrong with the military. RIP beloved Fighter Pilot Songbook. Alas, I knew you well.

Ah yes, I remember Princess. The posts are at the bottom of this page.

Beginning January 16, 2006, TurboTax is being made available at no cost to servicemembers by the Department of Defense at the Military OneSource website at https://www.militaryonesource.com/. It requires a login, but supposedly the download is free for anybody interested.

No, it's at least standard among the C and E models. Went to a roll call at the 1st Fighter Squadron and they were well versed in the song.

For UPT it's generally 1.0 to 1.2 for local stuff, 1.5-ish for out and backs. Students will rarely double turn flights and they do not triple turn. As an IP, I usually double turned 2 or 3 days a week and usually triple turned at least once a week.

Here you go - a whole new set of ribbons

I got over 1000 hours in a three year tour.

I did the two year program - you obviously can't get everything from two years crammed into a couple extra weeks at field training (I believe you'll go to a six week vice four week FT), but it's pretty damn close. Mostly I felt like I wasn't quite 'in' with everybody else because they had all known each other since freshman year and I was the fat kid showing up late to the party. As far as FT performance, it won't matter since you'll be at the six-week FT with a bunch of other people who are in the same boat.

I just read this article in the Air Force times by two SSgts at Kirkuk. It further proves the Air Force demeans medals by giving a commendation medal to some A1C who helps clean up after a holiday party while guys who are putting their lives on the line can't get valid recognition. ------------- Integrity and awards In mid-November, an Army re-supply convoy was attacked by the enemy using an improvised explosive device. A second IED, spotted 50 feet ahead of them, left the remaining vehicles trapped in the “kill zone.” An Air Force explosive ordnance disposal team responded to clear the IED in order for a vehicle to be recovered and to allow the convoy mission to continue. AF EOD has been deployed in support of Army operations for more than two years. We respond to IEDs, weapons caches, unexploded ordnance and raids conducted by Army personnel. Most of these missions are “outside the wire.” EOD is also forward-deployed to many bases for up to six-month rotations. At these forward operating bases, our mission is identical to our main base mission, except most of the time we are the only Air Force personnel on the FOB. We have reached the point in our deployment where we are faced with submitting decorations and letters of evaluation for our service. The flight we are assigned to does not put personnel in for Air Force medals because of the unwritten “10 percent rule,” which says that only one-tenth of your flight, squadron, group and wing will receive formal recognition through the Air Force awards and decorations program. Of that 10 percent, your senior officer and enlisted leadership are basically guaranteed to receive awards due to the level of responsibility. How can you decide which tenth of your people have risked their lives more, when nearly all have been on missions every day of their deployment? If you make the cut and are submitted for an Air Force decoration, then you are typically competing for an achievement medal with the rest of your deployed squadron. These packages will probably get kicked back, because those in our job have not been afforded time to volunteer for additional duties. The medals awarded in today’s Air Force have lost significance and value because they are awarded based on statistical averages and not individual merit. It seems that actual achievement is an irrelevant factor in the formal recognition of our airmen. I hope that upon returning to home station, we will be on stage along with other airmen to receive our medals during commander’s call. In the end, we will know that we risked our lives daily for six months and the Army is the only service that officially recognizes the risk and value of our contribution. Many will say that you can submit all of your people for medals if you think they deserve it. Those who have actually deployed know how it works in the real world. Where is the integrity in our recognition system? Staff Sgt. Clifford D. Weida Jr. Staff Sgt. Jason A. Brown Kirkuk Air Base, Iraq

I can see it now, two terrorists hanging out below Charleston with their SAM launchers watching the formations of C-17s. M'Balz Ez-Hari: Okay, after you take your shot on number one, you want to look 2000 feet approzimately 300 right to see number two. I know you'd have to blind not to see two C-17s only 2000 apart from each other, but it's great knowledge to have. Haid D'Salaami: That's great, did you read that from the UNCLASSIFIED AFTTP 3.35A C-17 Tactics and Procedures? M'Balz Ez-Hari: No, I read it on Baseops.net - I post there under the name of 'Scoobs'. It's a great site with all kinds of super useful information to terrorists like how to get a pilot slot and pick up chicks in Del Rio. Ah! There they are! Do you see number two? Haid D'Salaami: Ah yes, I see them, but he looks more like 3000 feet. M'Balz Ez-Hari: Damn, so is that SKE? Haid D'Salaami: I dunno, but either way he's out of position M'Balz Ez-Hari: F***ing two! Tool.

They won't inform you per se, but they don't start an investigation until you submit your paperwork. So, since you're technically starting the investigation by turning in the SF-86, you shouldn't be surprised when someone starts asking (though this could happen quite some time after you turn the papers in). Every investigator I have talked to (I estimate 15-20, mostly for other people) has shown me an identification before we started talking.

Judy means you want GCI to shut up. It's a term that all fighters are familiar with and very few AWACS controllers know. Seriously, the AWACS guys are always anxious to give you information, but there comes a point when the information they are feeding you is no longer useful and your interflight targeting and shot comm is being jammed by them. A couple months ago that I had a fairly simply 2v2 with GCI. Once we're targeted, we don't need GCI anymore, but they kept talking - I called "Judy". They kept on with diarreah of the mouth and my wingman was unable to transmit that he had just taken a Fox. When he was able to get a word in edgewise, it was "Fox III southern, AWACS - JUDY!" They kept on talking and finally I had to go with the super secret brevity term "AWACS - STOP TALKING!" That did the trick.

For our guys who separate/retire, the life support guys actually set out their visor so everybody in the squadron can engrave their name on it and the helmet is presented as a going away gift.

Declaration - of hostile aircraft - that would allow him to fire. "Guns" probably won't make any sense to your average UPT guy. It's their version of one of the most popular fighter pilot songs. I'm not a big fan of their version.

Too bad the Iron Shiek's gone - surely his appearance would piss a couple people off. Course, that's mostly the same people who get offended at us wearing pigskin boots. I say bring in the Man Show with Girls on Trampolines - that'll really get the hired help distracted.

They care in the sense that every year when you take your PHA (physical), the doc will lecture you on the uses of tobacco - but they don't prohibit you from chewing. There's probably a reg somewhere about chewing in uniform - I know many guys who dip and smoke in uniform, but I seem to recall that smoking in uniform was possibly going to be banned.

- Eagle 1, Mud 'F' medium, defending West - Viper 1, Magnum - Eagle 1 naked. F*** off and die, Fogeldouche.

Dunno, but the aircraft they're in would be considered a UAV.

There's a guy at Seymour whose last name is Weiser, call sign is Bud. What a great idea - I'm gonna go out and buy that one right now!
