  1. No SJAs or Commanders -- the people who actually push this kind of action -- make any extra money by doing it.
  2. Cue the next proposed assault weapons ban from Carolyn McCarthy....
  3. I know of guys in my current squadron who have been hired at FedEx, SWA, and Kalitta all in the last 6 months.
  4. The last time I saw it -- which was about 4 years ago -- the legacy fighters weren't out of the inventory until after 2025.
  5. I think compulsory service is a better idea than a draft.
  6. This will make threat replication pretty cut-and-dried.
  7. Direct link: http://www.1041thetruth.com/podcast/harris/160961985.html
  8. I guess I'm the retarded one here...what does this shooting have to do with PYB?
  9. Maybe if the OP had a couple air-to-air kills to his name, he could work that too.
  10. I guess it shows Syria, after years of incursions from other countries' aircraft (hmmm, who could that be?) in which they were either too slow to respond, or scared to respond, have actually gotten their act together enough that they could shoot down an unaware Phantom.
  11. I agree with Learjetter -- if you look at the history, I think you'll find that the data supports an institutionally-run screening program significantly more than it supports a civilian-run IFT-type program that builds GA experience but does zero screening.
  12. The reality for anyone in the military is this: any school that you can attend part time while being a full time officer in the military doesn't have a pedigree good enough for those jobs, regardless. Guys who get wrapped up in the relative quality of their online degree are missing the bigger picture about what the name on your Masters really means to potential employers.
  13. Again, it all depends on your whole rationale for getting your Masters. For the vast majority of AF officers, their decision to get a Masters Degree is almost exclusively linked to their desire to progress in the ranks, and there is simply the added benefit of building their resume for their post-blue civilian carrer. In this light, it makes absolutely no difference. All of the things you have mentioned are peripheral issues that mean absolutely zero. As has been mentioned in the other thread on advanced degrees, most civilian firms that are going to hire you after the military are going to do so based on your military experience, unless you have a specific advanced degree from a specific range of schools. In that case, it still makes absolutely no difference based on the pool of schools we're talking about.
  14. It's moronic that academic degrees have anything to do with the promotion process anyway, so feeling that there needs to be some sort of dick-measuring relative merit between any of the places GIs go to get their square-fillers is even more retarded.
  15. The best thing about TUI's entire program was that it cost the same as TA covered. I thought their business plan was fucking genius -- charge the service member absolutely nothing, have little "scholarship" programs that allow guys to keep taking classes even when they've maxed out TA for that year, make the classes super military-friendly (in many different ways), and rack up the big bucks from guys filling the squares for promotions. By raising their tuition even $1, they've 86'd the biggest advantage they had. They're done.
  16. The guy who made it, Maestro, actively goes after it apparently. He wrote me a nastygram after I uploaded it a couple years back in an attempt to keep it alive.
  17. The no-touch-and-go deal has to do with saving tires only.
  18. The best part is that she was fired over a hair appointment.
  19. I believe this is one of Moon Doherty's daughters -- he's the outgoing Wing/CC that Tally is taking over for.
