  1. I agree with some of you that the government has no place spending its people's money going into space. As much as I'd like to keep paying for the awesomeness of space, I feel companies that work for a profit could do it better. You can't say that velcro came from a government run space program, therefore we'd never have velcro if the government wasn't dumping money into the space program. A civilian program would have likely come up with something similar (and for a cheaper price tag no doubt). Somebody please tell me anything that any goverment does better than a civilian contracter would do with some proper competition.
  2. I remember the "get the ammo container from the platform without touching the rocks" thing. I just grabbed a branch laying on the ground, reached out, lifted up the container and brought it back behind the line. The field training instructors shit themselves and I ended up doing pushups. Leave it to the government to punish an idea that takes one person, 30 seconds and $0 to implement as opposed to a committee of 8, 10 minutes and succeeds only 50% of the time.
  3. TIB has been at the frontlines of every major conflict... "Korean War" "Bob Hope Show" "Operation Enduring Freedom" "Mount Rushmore" Some pretty rough locations there. The first chick in the video I thought was Tyra Banks being over dramatic and it took me until abou 4 minutes in to realize that it wasn't an Onion video.
  4. Also, by the sounds of the tires when he finally lands, the airport installed concrete grass along the runway edge.
  5. It would have been a little easier to win the race if he would have raised his flaps... or not done 15 loops. Of course, the other guy was doing a bunch of wheelies, and we all know that wheelies add about 20% to your top speed.
  6. Where is the Power Thirst drop video? I've been looking for it.
  7. *** USE IF FOR THE HOUSE, THE CAR, THE BOAT, THE RV *** Where are my glow sticks?

    TIMS

    It's a known issue with the TIMS guys and it is supposedly going to be fixed in the next push.
  9. I think the General Pershing method of pig blood soaked bullets with a butchered pig burial would be nice for this worthless piece of shit coward.
  10. UCME? <--- Just peed myself a bit. I love it.
  11. Is anyone working on a morale patch made from the reflective material? I'd wear it. Heck I may just find a belt and bust out the wife's sewing machine tomorrow and try to make one myself.
  12. Desert Diamonds: After Dark * artist's rendition
  13. In their defense, they are rendering a salute. Therefore, if that airplane took a hard right 90 degree turn and then continued taxiing forward for 69 seconds and had break failure, each person would only have a few precious minutes to make personal decision between breaking rank and running for their life or dying via Indiana Jones method. Because nobody died immediately after, we can safely say that less that $30 of reflective technology saved 12+ lives on the ground, an aircrew and several million dollars in Air Force Assets.
  14. Just had a septoplasty and tubinate reduction because I was about 80% blocked in the right nostral and 40% blocked in the left nostral. Currently, I am 28 hours post op and this shit sucks. Constant blood oozing out of my nose and I can't breath through my nose at all due to the swelling. Anyone have this surgery before that can offer words of encouragement or tips they used to make the recovery easier? I can't wait until Wednesday when these splints come out of my nose.
  15. Do it. Pilot training is hard. Either be a man, work hard and don't complain or get out.
  16. 2.85 years of flight time. That's impressive.
  17. What kind of pussy ass fire fighters are we hiring now-a-days?
  18. OH... MY... GOD... Please people in that video, DO NOT choke yourself regardless of the comments about to follow. I will gladly buy an airplane ticket and do it myself. ... and yes, I know it's fake.
  19. I don't know. If we allow people to fly flags, maybe they'll start standing up when the flag passes them in parades or start taking the pledge of allegience in elementary school again. Who knows, people might take some pride in their nation and work to keep it the greatest country in the world. I'm just saying, it's a slippery slope.
  20. I've got a better C-21 replacement... American Airlines
  21. Robin Olds if fighting the war today.
