365's and boring jobs knock out a lot of free agents who 7-day opt, until the list gets whittled down to the guy who simply can't say NO because he's at an earlier point in his career. Those hits keep happening to the same year groups and the force gets out of shape. The AF needs to find a way to not sacrifice 4 or 5 bodies to fill a bill for one.

Decline of Baseops.net (aka The Wrath of PYB/Mods gone wild)
addict replied to a topic in Squadron Bar
The website logo of some leggy female is the only thing prominently displayed on that check. Even without recent climate of sexual assault troubles, throwing on your O-4 uniform for this non-AF function is pretty dumb. -
The strategic airlift blurb got butchered: It should say that with an 80 ton payload it can takeoff in 7,600 ft, travel 2,400 NM, and then land in 3,000 ft.

CAPTIONS (I noticed a nice trend from left to right of the people changing where they are looking. Starting at left, looking at their feet, to the nose-in-the air at the right. So....)

Is this mishap known to be crew error? Ok probably... They mistook a roll bar for a threshold? I don't see many other explanations.

Remember that in 2008 a 777 was about 1000' short at Heathrow for what boils down to insufficient throttle response. Speaking of underrun, that place only has 100' whereas Dover has a full 1000' and the equipment is another 50-200 ft south.

Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP
addict replied to Swizzle's topic in Squadron Bar
Anyone who buys a house in cash in full essentially pays 100% per share for their investment in a house, when 10 or 20 percent down was the ticket to join the home-owner party. Diversifying investments isn't just about stocks-bonds-cash. It's also across your entire assets. This is an "eggs all in one basket" scenario that is easy to avoid. If you've got a cool $500K in the bank, I'd keep that baby diversified, not all together in a place on the lake risking something as simple as a single housefire or flood to wipe it all away when the insurance company comes up short (combined contingencies, sorry). I am mostly reiterating JS and 75% of this thread I suppose.- 1,190 replies

Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP
addict replied to Swizzle's topic in Squadron Bar
Don't forget to spend some of it. The idea of beating interest rates - borrowing to invest - I don't accept it as a long term strategy. Not in a vacuum as a way to generate free money. Borrow - yes. Invest - yes. But investments and borrowing both create exposure that as an individual you have to cope with. 2008 hurt. More will follow. The historical average performance of investments might not be all that it is cracked up to be. Oh, and party on dudes.- 1,190 replies

In reference to video by HU&W, and in response to suggestion by SuperWSO as well as story by amcflyboy about punking an IP, no one was punked in the commercial because that was fake from start to finish. Close Course. Professional Driver. Do Not Attempt. Elaboration, not repost.

Camaro has a cup holder there? Fake.

Take that as a shot against the C-17 community - training that focuses so much on maneuvers that the airmanship is sometimes placed second. Cycling co's through the seat during so everyone can get their beans.

This is not that difficult. Google chrome didn't open up the form filler. Just do it manually. Right click and save as... Open file in the viewer software.

xfdl ... look for free form filler. https://www.e-publish...werdownload.asp but in seriousness, my browser just opens it as text too.
