  1. Disregard. I'll wait to read about it when I see a paper copy.
  2. Does anyone have an e-subscription to AF Times? To actually read the 2 stories online that are dated 14 Feb 11, one needs a username/password. If anyone can access, please post the content of the story here for the rest of us.
  3. I was thinking the exact same thing.
  4. Link is to a photo of him with the CCT beret saluting after laying a wreath during a Wreaths Across America ceremony.
  5. Thread bump. Can anyone confirm/deny that the morale burglar has retired?
  6. Our squadron just received the SIB information about this with corresponding HD video and animation... just like other people have said, the word WOW doesn't even come close to describing the emotions we all felt (during both the first and subsequent viewings). Hopefully, this will serve as a learning tool for all.
  7. Has anyone ever bought a slim-fit tuxedo shirt to go with mess dress?
  8. Based on his bio, he's served as a commander/commandant of some entity at least 6 times, including at the squadron, group and wing levels. It would be interesting to see how many people have been punished by him for the exact same crime. There has to be a base press release/blotter article with a quote from him talking about how dangerous DUIs are and how one of those is enough to end a career. In all reality, I'm not surprised at the (lack of) punishment he is receiving--we've seen it time and time again with people who wear stars.
  9. I was thinking the exact same thing...
  10. Has anyone had any good experiences with an apartment complex in North LR/Sherwood that provides furnished 1-bedroom apartments (besides "The Links") for less than $900/month?
  11. I'm a TR at a reserve unit but am on AD orders in the NCR. I will have had my TS for 5 years in summer of 2010. I asked my unit security manager what I needed to do to start the process to get it revalidated. His e-mail response said I wouldn't need to do anything because the unit pays for the investigation and it's expensive so I will not be getting a revalidation for a top secret clearance. I understand that TS investigations are expensive, but I wasn't aware that individual units paid for them. Can a unit security manager just determine that no one from the unit can apply to have their TS revalidated? BR
  12. You have our condolences.
  13. Have any of the Pope crew dogs heard any more RUMINT on the subject?
  14. This could get interesting very quickly...
  15. HerkDriver above mentioned he could have gotten some hours on T-43s while at USAFA.
  16. The T-43 was listed in his bio.
  17. I'm willing to bet that we're going to see a well-written editorial on the front page of af.mil in the near future about the dangers of alcohol use.
  18. I have a gut feeling that a few years ago, this guy was a senior Capt/junior Maj who was bitching and moaning to all of his buddies/fellow crew dogs about how something like this was so uttertly ridiculous and how the focus should have been on hacking the mission; now that things have changed, these things are no longer ridiculous, but necessary and critical.
  19. It's good to know there were enough bottles of water near the formation in case someone started suffering from heat exhaustion.
  20. Was he one of the guys that they allowed to continue and get winged?
  21. Thread revival... Has anyone been in contact with members from this class in the last few years? What was the final conclusion of this incident?
  22. Pretty enjoyable... a little less than the IMAX "Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag" imho.
  23. I too wish this was a joke, but it sounds very believable... ... now on to some good news... it's almost happy hour here in DC!
  24. I believe it's in Topeka, Kansas.
