    The pitter patter of two sets of feet have proven it quite useful enough. State your worldly accomplishments.

    Don't know about fighter/bomber, but I went straight to AC and would have gone to IP upgrade 12 months later if it wasn't for SOS in res.

    Any word on the AF publicly releasing names yet?

    Of the 10 straps or whatever are attached to the front of the MRAP in that picture, 8 of them are securing the load side to side. I'm not a load master, but I did take Physics 101 in college and I know that this will not provide any restraint fore/aft. It looks like only 3 or 4 straps are able to apply any fore/aft force at all. Heck, they may have well let a SERE specialist go in there with a mile of 550 cord.

    Sharing is caring.

    That's all I'd do is fly. "Call me 2 hours before the jet takes off. I may come in, but I'm not shaving."

    I read an article that said that as well as people reporting "ejector seats." Unless there's a new model of tanker out there I don't know about....

    yikes. Sad times for military aviation. Stay safe out there brothers and sisters.

    Everytime I open this thread I hope the (NSFW) tag earns its keep. So far it has failed.

    I'm not sure about Russia, but in America, your jokes don't follow the Yakov Smirnoff formula.

    yikes. Stay on your toes gentlemen.

    I've got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" and I like it. Sure it doesn't have the "retina" display, but I can't tell a big difference for 90% of the applications when run side by side with an iPad. Also, it has an SD port, so you could buy terabytes of memory on cards for the extra cost of the 64 gb iPad. That said, I don't have any aviation apps on it really. I use it for digital pubs and games mostly.

    Now, that's what right looks like.

    If you want gouge, the CGOC is the place to go looking for it. They discuss updates the first meeting every month.

    Latest Movies

    Just saw Jurassic Park 3D. Although the exact same movie that came out 20 (holy crap) years ago, it made me inner 10 year old happy.

    So why should you pay as much as you can on your mortgage? Lets say you have a $1000/mo payment and you pay $1500/mo to pay it down faster. This causes you to eat into your reserves. If you lose your job or have a large, unforseen bill, you now have little reserve to pay the next month's mortgage payment. If you just pay the $1000/mo payment, you can build a $500/mo reserve! Plus, the loan interest vs. investment interest has already been discussed.

    I really like the fact that if I don't read the menu fast enough, I have to wait 45 seconds for the breakfast menu, drink menu, weekly specials, shout-outs to visiting generals, etc... before it gets back to the menu I was originally looking at. EFFICIENT!!!

    https://www.brobible.com/life/video/teens-doing-condom-challenge Again, I don't really have anything to say about this link. You just, kind of, have to see it?...?

    The negative g limit is on the fuel system, not the oil system. The oil system has a near-zero g limit.

    All I know is that USAGX (Precious Metals) has not been so kind in the last 6 months. Some analysts are saying gold is going to keep dropping to pre-bubble values, some say it will bounce back. Buy a shit ton at a discount rate? Bail? ugh, I should have just buried cash in my back yard.

    damn shame... My heart breaks for Zach. I hope this turns his life into something strong and humble. Pretty heavy for anyone, let alone a teenage kid.

    What was your degree in that TUIUIUIUIU gave you 8 credits? I may consider finishing if they give me two free classes.

    So you're saying that you don't have a responsibility (not legal, but moral) to act as a role model to your community's children? I don't think she's saying you need to teach them to tie their shoes, just be a responsible adult.
