It's really hard to tell. Both groups keep 12 sided dice in the sleeve pocket of their flight suits.

Well, in the absence of a nav, you gotta take drastic measures. Somehow though, it was a nav's fault...probably.

:YAWN:

From dudes wearing bras to chicks without bras... More shenanigans from the land of the not quite right: NSFW: https://zenkatsuo.livejournal.com/203368.html (Tittays, but the National Geographic kind...not the Spearmint Rhino kind.) Maybe the bros on the ROK can keep a copy of this article in their pocket to show to Town Patrol when the juicies get a little too "handsy."

I don't know how this could have happened. Canada doesn't have any Eagle squadrons.

You're not partying hard enough, my friend.

My post wasn't for you. Sorry.

Why did you sign that shit? 1. Watch your movers, and tell them before they pack that any item with comments needs to be reviewed by you to make sure it's annotated correctly. 2. Don't sign shit that ain't right. Call the on-call TMO guy if you need someone to intervene, and stand your ground. The movers are getting paid by the hour anyway. 3. Make sure you give an honest and accurate post-move review. Help your bros out.

Masking it at the board ≠ masking it at your SQ / OG / WG level. Depending on your local leadership, your strat/DP on your PRF can/will still be effected by your AAD completion. I agree that masking it at the board level might be a step in the right direction, but the WG/CC will still have to find a way to stratify dudes before PRFs leave the base. Given the projected pilot shortage, I really like the idea mentioned above of having separate rated/non rated promotion boards. Might not work so well for selection to O-5/O-6, but it's DEFINITELY a way to improve the Capt/Maj promotion process.

You're right. Especially when you consider that Senators got a whopping total of 3 MINUTES to read the bill before it was put to a vote. https://cnsnews.com/news/article/senators-got-154-page-fiscal-cliff-bill-3-minutes-voting-it I can't tell the difference between CSPAN and Blazing Saddles anymore.

"One for my left hand, and one for my right...I'd bury my face..." uh...hm... Seems I forgot the words now that the CD containing this song is no longer permitted in the vault. WTF.

Take your wives to see Les Miserables. Broadway results without the broadway prices:

He's waiting until you're old enough to drink legally. Back to the shadows with you.

You're almost correct. I will be a millionaire in a couple decades (that's "soon" I guess). Of course, loaves of bread will be $1000 and gallons of milk will be $750 by then.

Hm. He cleared me for my first ever Viper solo at Luke a ways back. Great IP and really chill.

Well, now we know why "Favor" is her middle name, I guess...

Here's every 4-ship I've ever been in against every mission planning printer I've ever met: (And before nsplayer says "hurrdurr...there are only three people there," remember that #4 gets to hold the camera.)

Feat of strength.

Fuckin A. I'm back. I can say fuck now without having to put spaces between the letters. Fuck yeah.

No shit. I stopped counting at 20 people. All this in the first year I was on active duty. I hear this story "well yeah, I was going to be a fighter pilot too...except for [insert specific bullshit problem that helps him sleep at night here], so now I sell insurance" 69 times a year. Do whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy. Just notice that you've had the advice of SEVERAL accomplished fighter pilots who have done EXACTLY what you should do. Ignore that advice at your own peril. Or, maybe you know better. Yeah...that's probably true. Just ignore us and have a nut with your hypochondria.

Not to hijack the thread, but since Mr. Borgnine is a WWII vet after all...this applies: Over 1,400 Americans gave their lives in the Aleutian Island Campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleutian_Islands_Campaign

Read some shit on the ol' interwebs about the Aleutian campaign when you get a chance. Japanese on our soil, and no one remembers it. Hell, they still find UXOs near Shemya. Think about THAT on your next PACAF pond crossing. Also, Airwolf was cool. But that was back before I learned how slow helicopters actually are.

Tell me how they did it. That's what I want to be doing on retirement day #69.

That's usually what happens when they CNX 99.69% of the time. What about your mom's flesh pocket? Everyone's had a bit of that.

1. Quiet please, adults are talking. 2. I get *maybe* one fight-tank-fight every 6 to 9 months. It's something pilots look forward to. When it doesn't happen, that makes me a sad panda.
