At first glance I thought, "what the hell is Rosie doing in an Air Force uniform?" What is it about being fat and ugly that makes you turn into a whining anti-war bag of douche? Seems to happen a lot.

Sorry for the thread revival, but YES!!! It really depends on your detachment, but at my Det, it is 3 strikes and you're out. There are about 6 of us on our 2nd ticket, and if we get another we are gone. At first I thoguht this was some lame ass scare tactic...until my good friend was disenrolled because of a speeding ticket. He got booted the day we were signing our papers after just coming home from Field Training. NS he made it all 6 weeks, graduated, and then got removed one week later for a ticket.(He is now in the Army) Parking tickets can be just as bad depending on your Det. Some people have no tolerancefor any sort of civil involvement. BE CAREFUL! That is my advice.

At an airshow in North Carolina. White trash man to his kids: "see that thur smoke comin out that plane....that's his exhawst. They just have a switch up in that pilot's seat wur he can just turn the exawst off...that's when it goes away. I used ta build them thangs." When I thought it couldn't get any more retarded...I heard people all around me saying things like "thats what I thawt" and "I done told you it was Billy" EDIT: They were WINGTIP smoke cans. [ 25.

Burt, those numbers came directly from the mouth of the cop that briefed us in LLab the other day. He is part of the DUI task-force, and he mentioned that technique you did. Pull someone over, take a good whiff, if he's smells something then he continues, if not it's just a warning. He said that as part of the DUI task force, he stll issues around 50-60 speeding tickets and about 20 DUIs a month. Granted this is Atlanta, so we probably have higher than average numbers, but he acted like 150 tickets was nothing for normal cops. He did say that taking speeders to jail was a big pain, so most cops just reduce it, but if the person is an ass, it's worth it. As for the money thing, does your precinct not collect money from tickets? The cops I know around here seem to like the new gadgets they get when they have good months.

Sleepy, that is some serious horse-shit. Sounds like some of the Atlanta cops I have dealt with. Writing tickets doesn't cost cops hundreds of dollars, raise their insurance, or make them late for work, so I cant see how it is a pain in the ass for them. If it was, they wouldn't write a couple hundred tickets a month per person. Also, every officer knows that more tickets=more money. [ 13. October 2005, 22:39: Message edited by: c17wannabe ]

Thread revival. One of my cadets told me today that he was leaving AFROTC because of a bee sting DQ. He said on the form that he had an allergic reaction when he was seven, but nothing since then. He doesn't carry around epipens and hasn't had any problems since, so i don't see how this is DQ'ing him. The cadre don't seem willing to help very much, so what should he do about this?

Good tips HD. In addition, I render a verbal greeting including Sir/Ma'am. It shows respect for their authoritah. 3 of my last 4 stops have ended ticket free. The other was really reduced, so I count it as 4 wins.

They are just a classification used for scholarships and academic planning. You absolutely don't have to be a tech major to be in ROTC or be a pilot. In fact, don't major in any of those unless you really want to be an engineer. I know cadets that started tech and went management when they failed their first semester, don't make that mistake.

Brogan Steele, he sounds like he should be a male supermodel. Do you realize how hard it is to be really really ridiculously good at flying in the auxillary?
