  1. I've been away from most things USAF related since 08 and thus why I don't post much any more. I read his little blog/ vendetta post and that dude has some serious fuckin' problems. Talks a lot of shit for a guy who won't even post his face on his blog.
  2. Better yet, get them to a trusted friend's place so she cannot say that you used one to threaten her. I've done this for a few guys to help them out.
  3. On her way out, but still allowed to retire as a Capt.
  4. Well played sir, well played. I was never a fighter pilot so I was looking at things from a business and political side.
  5. She seems to be following the standard political formula, deny, deny when all else fails, counter-accuse.
  6. I played all of my high school games on that field, cool in high school but not so much for a team trying to be taken seriously. If BSU wanted to be taken seriously they would be scheduling as many top tier schools on the East and West coasts as possible. Where BSU keeps fucking up is that they are telling those schools that they will only play in Boise and few of the Big East, SEC, Pac-10, etc are going to come to Boise to play in a small stadium that doesn't sell out for a normal home game. Boise State needs to be scheduling as many tough away games as they can against schools other than the Oregon State, VT and BSU plays a cupcake schedule and the cause falls directly upon the shoulders of Gene Blaymeier, their AD. They do play Georgia in Athens next year and I think that will be an eye-opener for BSU as to just where they stand in the world. The last time BSU faced off against Georgia (2005) wasn't pretty and BSU began scheduling a bunch of mediocre schools they could run up the score against to make themselves look good in the national spotlight. The last home game they sold out was Oregon a few years ago. They turn back tickets to away games and bowl games routinely, tickets that the other schools in bigger conferences would have sold in a day. Hell, the BSU President thinks that Idaho Vandal fans are "nasty and inebriated" (we just party more ) and refused to travel to Moscow for this year's game. He would shit a brick if he ever bothered to watch a SEC game. Ohio State v. Michigan is a sight to see. With TCU going to the Big East, MWC=WAC 2.0 The rest of the WAC will move up tot he MWC in a few years.

    Back Stabbing

    It is pandemic at all levels, I get to hear about it often from my AD officer friends. As I mentioned it starts at the entry level, BMT or the commissioning source, and then is furthered by the careerist mentality fostered in the military today. My comment came from the wording used, it works great to attempt to distance yourself from the issue, but more people will pay attention if you offer a personal concession in your first post when dealing with a topic like this one. It came across as a "this applies to everyone but me" rant. My bad and my apologies for ruffling feathers.

    Back Stabbing

    Back-stabbing happens everywhere and it begins by creating a culture, in the training and entry level environment, that says you must work as a team but you'd better be the best and screw everyone else. I am speaking from the corporate side of things as my last affiliation with the USAF ended in 2008, but from what I remember and what I hear from my buddies still on AD it is a normalized thing in the Shoe levels. I am sure it happens on the Ops side as well. Find a way to fix it at the training and you will have the problem solved and possibly be a millionaire. You touched on it briefly, it stems from the careerist mentality of beat others to make yourself look better. It happens in the military and in the civilian world. All one can do is try to hold yourself above it and hope it will influence those around you.

    Gun Talk

    I am finally going to complete my AR. I have been sitting on a CMMG 16in Middy upper (STS) since December as I have slowly saved for a lower I like. I am ordering a Spike's Tactical M4 lower and BCM GunFighter charging handle Monday. My next commission check is going to a FailZero Bolt and Carrier Group then an optic later. I just need a good BUIS or carry handle and I can start shooting.
  10. Too cut for my tastes. I like a girl with some curves, not sharp edges. Either way I cannot support bodybuilding.con for any reason. They had their HQ and warehouse in the Boise, ID area raided by federal authorities last year for selling products with illegal anabolic steroids that weren't listed, some of those products went to military personnel who busted their UAs because of it.

    You can't really go wrong with a Mossberg 500 or Remington 870. My 870 has been bulletproof since I bought it in 2006 and is my HD gun. My 20ga. Mossy 500 was my grandfather's and he bought it new well before I was born in '85. Lot's of history in both weapons with a well earned reputation for reliability.
  13. I doubt this revelation really takes anyone in the world by surprise. my Gaydar was going ape-shit the first time I saw him in TV.
  14. In regards to the Prius incident today, they have an electronically controlled shifter. This means that you can try to put the car in neutral, but that sum bitch will stay in drive until it comes to a stop then allows you to put the car in neutral.
