I don't have the numbers in front of me, but the rate for "non-select's" going to IDE INRES is much better than SDE which is only 2-3%. Non-selects typically have the best chance in their last look. As a Sq/CC I had two non-selects get picked up and both were in their second look, which at the time was highly unusual. As I recall they are trying to send IDE folks earlier and SDE folks later which may open the door for late look non-selects. The board/DT looks at your entire record, SURF, and the most importantly...the strat on your 3849. Your Wing/CC usually gets at least one silver bullet that will be honored unless there is something bad in your background. Your individual circumstances will also affect your chances...if you were recently moved out of the squadron to the Grp or Wg, that is usually another message to the board. Best of luck. -

Nope...if you actually READ the article you will see the WTO ruled Airbus received FOUR TIMES the subsidies the Boeing did... Even if Boeing received the same $20 Billion that Airbus got I would still say buy Boeing, it is American. Adios Airbus...move along...and while your at it go find that plane that fell into the Atlantic.

You guys kill me. The instant I saw Junker 14 I sent Rainman a note saying a Google search would reveal his name (something he might not want you guys plastering all over the place).

Best and worst I've seen/heard in person. Two ship ocean crossing after a few months in the desert. New navigator on other airplane is REALLY homesick and missing his frau. His crew tells him about the MARS radio system and he listens as the AC makes a call and gets a phone patch to home. Cherry Navigator is very excited and wants to do the same. Unbeknownst to Cherry Navigator both airplanes change HF freqs to a non-MARS freq, Cherry Navs begins calling at which point nav in my airplane posing as a MARS operator responds and sets up a "phone patch to frau". A very gruff and deep voice answers the "phone patch" and explains the fraa is not available, she is in the shower. As the conversation goes on the voice on the other ends explains said Frau wants nothing to do with Navigator husband anymore...Said navigator was near tears as were we from laughing all the way to Westover.

We did...
You could try the ole blow on the pitot tube to ops check it... Dear god ROTC/Academy/OTS is so gay. You want a good prank? Get commissioned, got to UPT/RTU/TDY/COMBAT, drink/party like rock stars, take care of your buds...hilarity will ensue.
What would you do with your other bomb?
Now we know how the Pawn Stars got access to an AMRAAM, maybe now they can get a Sidewinder as well. Video here
No...Yemen will run out of oil around 2017 so they will be of little use...
World's Dumbest Pilots ...In 2008, pilot Jeffrey Paul Bradford tried to spice up his time in Harrisburg, PA, with stewardess Adrianna Connor. After dinner and drinks, the Pinnacle Airlines employees dashed into the nearby woods for a romp. When they got separated, she got lost and he hid in a barn.
Sorry my rhetoric did not properly transmit...what I should have said was get rid of USAF PA.
So on the AF.MIL website they have a story celebrating the 50th anniversary of the T-38. For some reason our USAF PA folks decided to use a copyrighted picture from Jo Hunter (below), does that mean that after operating the jet for 50 years we could not find a suitable picture of our own? Time to close Combat Camera in the name of efficiency.
