Getting jacked up on the flightline
At least your airplanes probably have something classified at some level. At Laughlin this situation arises all the time. A stud (after being cleared by the sup) takes his family out to the flight line to show them what he's been flying for the past 6 months. With adrenaline still in their veins from the F-16 that stopped by a week ago, Security Forces stops the family with lights flashing. He then reprimands them, escorts them back inside and takes their camera. What possible reason would you have for taking the kids camera? Hell, everything there is to know about the T-6 is on the internet. Not to mention how I got pulled over for going 26 in a 20 and they had to bring 3 police cars to fix the situation.

FAIP Q&A
U2's are possible as a FAIP from the T-1 side. I've also heard talk about making bombers a possible outcome from T-1s as well. The T-1 bomber thing has gone back and forth several times I've heard though, so take if for what it is worth.

G (Gravity) Forces/Strain
If my students only pulled 3 G's, I'd be sitting in the back seat writing down how much of a pvssy they are. Granted, over time you get used to G's, but I don't even AGSM until about the 5 mark. Also, it's more of flexing your legs, ass cheeks and abdomen.

Judaism In The Air Force
From ROTC Jew's Word Document It's true you are allowed to worship however you want in the AF. However, if you do this everytime, eventually people are going to start thinking you're bending the rules to your benefit even if you aren't. Like it was said earlier, religion usually only causes problems between airmen when one of them starts pushing the religion on to others or starts demanding that their religion's rules be observed in spite of others.

Dollar Ride Ideas
I'll show my kids my PG-13 dollars whenever. They can see the XXX dollars when they're 18. The squadron standards do say no porn However, they always tell us, if we want to do something different than the standards, just brief it. I want porn on my dollars... briefed.

B2 Crashes in Guam
With out the computer assisting the pilot, that airplane would be impossible to fly. The B-2 take hundreds, if not thousands, of inputs a second in determining exactly where to position the flight controls. I don't know about you, but I could probably react to about 5 inputs a second. Also, the B-2 was designed for a specific job... fly somewhere, be invisible, blow up bad guys, fly away. It's easy to make an airplane that can drop bombs. The B-52 has been doing it forever. The difficulty is making the airplane stealthy. That means standard pitot tubes won't work (they reflect RADAR), and it can't fly in rain (rain degrades the fragile paint). Of course the engineers could make the airplane more robust by making it all weather and stable enough to hand fly buy then you'd just have a $2,000,000,000 B-52.

The Altitude Chamber
Just go to the flight doc and tell him you are having alergy issues. The doc at Randolph gave me 3 months of Claritin and just DNIF'd me for 3 days to see if it would kill me. I picked them up Friday afternoon, took them over the weekend, wasn't dead on Monday morning and was flying that afternoon. Probably 20% of my class was taking Claritin at some point during UPT, it's not that big of deal. What is a big deal is flying with sinus block and busting your eardrum...

The Altitude Chamber
During ours, we sat at "altitude" for a while and then took a simple quiz with questions like 23+52=?. We also took notes of what are symptoms of hypoxia are. Some people had all kinds of symptoms like feeling warm, color vision going away, etc... There were two of us in the class though. Myself and another guy that didn't feel anything at all. We both said the alphabet and counted by threes etc... Apparently, they told us that it is possible for our first symptom (that we notice) to be simply passing out which is kind of scary. If I ever get hypoxic, I hope somebody else notices that my nose is blue.
