Thanks for putting up that link. That PDF is actually for the last board, but nothing has changed except the dates iirc. Applications need to be postmarked NLT 28FEB17 for consideration. Interviews 5,6 May 17. If you are applying for this board and need the current PDF, please PM me your email address and I'll get it right out.

For some reason, the base recruiting page is down. If anyone needs the PDF with the application details, please PM me with your email address and I'll send them your way.

Just a quick reminder. The 163FS closes its application window at the end of February.

Just did my ATP with these guys. I highly recommend this program. 100% pass rate for MIL guys is as good as it gets. Anyone in Arizona or surrounding states should go here. $2800 is well worth the cost. I'd probably pay more and still be happy. Examiner fee is included.

Great story. Congressman = Douche

Recommend Oakdale Drive if there are any rentals available on that street. Lots of Mil folks and nice, smaller houses. Should be in your price range. It's a smaller street, but worth if if there is anything available.

Attack!!!

This whole thing just pisses me off. These things break the camel's back and the brass wonders why we are going to be so short on 11Fs.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention...now back to our previously scheduled program.

Been hitting the Jack tonight?

Pilot is ok! http://www.wctv.tv/mobi?storyid=130592053

Agree with the "Looking out the window" thing...Choke yourself for the rest.

Hoss wasn't discussing tactics, simply saying what he would change. He makes valid points and, as stated before, wasn't even approaching classified. What exactly would he be crushed for? I personally know Hoss and hold him in very high esteem in the flying world. I'm sure this discussion will lead to at least one person re-reading the JP or their 3-1 or whatever. That makes this a successful thread and, probably, why Baseops was created in the first place.

Either way you will still need your card reader or should we call call it by the technical name: Virtual Access Gate (VAG). Please insert your CAC into the VAG before you post...

Why on earth would you want a wimpy 20mm shell when you could get some 30mm shells from a real gun...just kidding, don't throw stones. Anyway, in the Hog world I can just go down to the weapons shop and get some for free (well, with a little beer anyway). I would ask one of his classmates to track down some rounds there on base. It shouldn't be too difficult. If you are really feeling gung ho then you could try to get some rounds that he actually shot. It would take a little more coordination (READ: Beer), but it would make it a lot more personal. I have three rounds from the first time I ever shot the gun and it only cost me a 12-pack. Although I'm not sure how difficult it is to get rounds out of that gun. If it was me, I'd like to have rounds that I actually fired...although the idea is really cool itself. Good Luck!!!

You sure about this? I seem to remember 11F...something or other. Maybe it was because I was a FAIP. 92T0 is a student pilot. Pilots in IFF are now rated. I may be wrong. It's also like 3 am and I'm a little drunk.

In addition, he is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. An extraordinary man. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

You can still be up in the RVSM airspace even though you are not in an RVSM airplane. The controllers just need to let you up there. Something like, "Chicago center, Fatty 69, 250, requesting 330, negative RVSM." They can clear you if they want, but they don't have to if it is busy or whatever. I've had a 50% luck in my experiences.

I want to know about this hidden gem that you guys speak of. Nothing like a good gem of a porn site to make my day.

Why does it need to have AAR capability? The Hog is single-seat and I didn't have any trouble. You F-15/16 guys could tell me if it is more difficult on your platforms, but it seems like a giant waste of money to me.
