Well put.

Straight out of our Vol 3: 6.16.2.4.1. Special Departure Procedures (SDPs). SDPs are MDS-specific OEI escape procedures intended only for emergency use. They are applicable after the loss of an engine and, where available, should be used for engine-out departure planning. In order for an aircrew to use an SDP, both pilots, navigator (when applicable) and flight engineer must have completed required training. Loadmasters do not require SDP training. Downloading the SDP ensures crews have the most current edition available. All C-130 SDPs posted on the Jeppesen AFOPSDATA website are approved. Jeppesen website: HTTPS://WWW.JEPPESEN.COM Username LOGIN: usafsdp PASSWORD: aircrews 'Ad hoc‘ requests for fields not currently listed may be requested through OGV NLT 48 hrs prior to scheduled departure. MAJCOM/A3V authorizes the use of Ad Hoc SDPs for a maximum of 30 days after the analysis date. The SDP analysis date is located in the upper left-hand corner of the takeoff performance sheet.

That amount seems a bit on the low side to me, even for 4-5 years ago.

Don't be in too big of a hurry. There's plenty of queep waiting for you.

Oh man, not this conversation again!

Well it sure sounds like you've just got it all figured out, man. Best of luck.

This.

Slight thread revival.... Anyone else out there own a particular mil-to-civ headset adapter? I'm going to do some civilian flying and don't want to fork over the money for a civ headset when I've got several extra mil ones. Thanks!

Anyone heard any recent RUMINT as to the next squadron at Little Rock to convert to Js, and when?

Aim High models in the PI. Dirt cheap and great quality.

In Mother Russia, beer drinks you.

So as long as I have my Masters done by the time my PRF is written it does not matter, right? I ask because I have completed 11/12 courses with Troy, as well as my comprehensive exam, but I am holding out for SOS in-res to count for that last class. I will likely not go until the end of this calendar year but my board is not until 2012. I am not hurting myself right? I've busted my tail to get those 11 classes done - I don't think I can bring myself to do another (albeit last) course knowing that I have to go to SOS anyway, and that will count. All that it means is that it won't appear on my SURF until late this year/early next year as opposed to this summer.

The first fuck-tard I see using one of our valuable, un-fucked computers (you know, one of the few that actually works, has NIPR connection, and isn't sitting on a Comm Sq. trouble-ticket ETIC for not being "mission essential" enough) for Facebook is going to be sitting the duty desk/DZCO/[insert shit job here], because he/she obviously has enough spare time to be hogging up computers when everyone else has mission planning/travel vouchers/mindless CBTs to accomplish.

Yet some people can't get on Baseops from on base... (Not just the forums, the actual mission planning website). Can someone figure out how to say "Misplaced Priorities" in Latin and have that phrase added to the Air Force seal?

Wow.... I just had a "big picture" check. I know her from pilot training (few classes ahead of me). I had no idea about this story until you posted the link. Why? Because my base was doing an ORI when this was published. Definitely a reminder on what's important and what isn't. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for what you guys are doing.

Anyone heard any info on the 130J (cargo, not the Hurricane Hunters) unit at Keesler?

Also at OKAS, after switching from Mohalab to Tower freq. Us: "Tower, CROME XX, request visibility on the field." OKAS Tower: "CROME XX, for you, gooooooood visibility." I felt like I was bargaining at a market or something, but I laughed my ass off.

Even more amusing was that it was a piece on "military technology" and it featured a Herk (an E-model, to boot).

W........T..........F...........

They're sitting on an ETIC.

Quoted for posterity. Well said my friend. Keep safe and hack the mish over there. (PS: Mes-SKEET SKEET SKEET Street)

I think the Army is already doing a pretty good job of making life difficult by having the Air Force pay their short-manning bill in the form of ILO (I'm sorry, "JET") assignments.

Management tried pulling that at ASAB in '07. The sock-checkers/hand-washing over-seers would send people away if they were sweaty. I shit you negative. BTW, timeframe was the middle of the summer.

So here's a question: Just where do these dweebs (especially Lts - hell even Capts for that matter) get off thinking that just because someone is in PT gear and not a uniform with displayed rank that they are automatically outranked and therefore need to salute? I mean, seriously - does the thought not cross their pathetic little minds that maybe, just maybe, there are people on base that outrank them? Un-fucking-believable. I would have a meltdown of biblical proportions if someone of equal or lesser rank stopped me and told me to salute just because I was in PT gear and they were not.
