Maybe you should have to enter your height & weight, and if your BMI is over a certain amount, you have to pay an additional fee (if you are overweight), or have to purchase another ticket (if you are like a Biggest Loser contestant).

I love how we fly them around the Pacific in a KC-10. Excellent use of resources.

...just finished a whole week of wearing my reflective belt @ homestation. The LRS was having an inspection, so the wing made it mandatory for EVERYONE to wear their belt to help show support. Nothing gayer than having to wear a reflective belt during daylight. On a side note, during a recent Wg/CC call, the LRS commander got up and told us about the inspection. She said "If we don't do our job correctly, people die." I shit you not.

Down $100 from last year. I guess I'll have to wait until the 2011 rates to get a little more $$.

Its really up to the tanker lead. As far as I know, its not really written anywhere. If lead tells you to join on #2 or #3, I would then ask for that tanker to carry the tacan. That way you can get good DME from your tanker.

3 of which have an adam's apple.

My fantasy team f-ing sucked this year. Who would have thought JaMarcus Russell wasn't a good #1 pick.

The other day coming back on base from lunch w/a few coworkers, I had to have one of the guys show their ID since I had left mine in my computer (regular occurance). The rent-a-cop at the gate asked to at least see my DL. My DL is from Florida & has been expired for about a year now, but is allowed if you are in the military. He then tries to lecture me on how a valid DL is required in California. I then try to explain to him about Florida's DL rules for the military. He just doesn't get it. He then tells me to pull off to the side and have someone else in the car drive. Fucking moron!

Sucks to be a C-5 crewdawg I think you still get the tax-exclusion, as always, however I think its just the hostile fire pay ($225) that is being prorated. C-5 bubbas are gonna have to sell their Beemer's & Benz's soon!

One of my favorite parts of the article: "Studies show a motorist driving 60 mph will not see a pedestrian in dark clothing until he is 55 feet away..." Yeah, we have so many 60 mph zones on AF bases. Hell, I feel like I'm hauliing ass anytime I hit a 30 mph zone.

Thats gangsta. Good thing he was wearing green, and not blue or red.

Yep, thats them. Good dudes. Buy the app...do it, do it.

You're going to make an excellent AC, that is if you make it that far. SNAPs...

Dude, you suck @ the internet. Not only did you post 3 consecutive threads, you didn't even bother using the search button.

We need to take him out of the hospital in San Antone, and fly him out to Bagram to finish out his hospital stay. Anyone want to put in an OST request?

I see way too many people working out on their own sporting the the PTs...not sure why. Unless its a squadron group PT or a PT test, I'm not wearing them. Obviously only applys in garrison. Shirt garters + PTs would be a sweet look.

I love being in a deployed location wearing PT gear (not really) and walking by a fellow Capt that is in uniform. I look somewhat young for my age, so most think that I am somewhere between SrA-SSgt. When passing, I like to scratch my head with my right hand just as we are about to pass. Sometimes they'll bite and start to salute. Kind of brightens up your day a little bit...kind of like seeing someone trip. Here's my funny desert story-- We had just flown a 12-hr OEF sortie and made it back just in time for breakfast. I had quickly changed out of my flight suit & into my PTs. I was then walking to the DFAC with my engineer who was still wearing his flight suit. On the way, we came upon a shoe-Chief that was walking with a shoe-Captain (both were in uniform). The Capt was looking directly at the ground when we passed, my engineer didn't salute. Of course the Chief noticed this right away and stopped. She then spouted off "Do we not salute Captains anymore?" My FE then told the Chief that he was going to salute, but the Capt wasn't even looking in his direction. She then said, "Ok, thats fine, but what about you?" (Obviously talking to me). I then told the Chief that I don't salute those of the same rank. She & the Capt both looked at me like I was lying out of my ass. I thought for a second that the Capt was going to ask for an ID in order to verify that I hadn't "broken the law". I was hoping that he would, but he never did. Good thing we had only been in country for a couple of weeks, because if we had been towards the end of the deployment, I probably would have said something to them both that would have got me into trouble.

Sounds like a disgruntled employee. Just say no to drugs! On topic, I've always thought that they would eventually replace the C-21 fleet with something that had more legs, but not as much as a G IV/V...maybe a LJ60 or Citation X? I have no data or intel to back this up, but I've always thought that it would make sense. Maybe after OEF.

I'd hit it.

Up for Major next month...saw my PRF this week and got the ole 'P'. Anyone have an estimate of DPs to Ps that usually meet the board?

I was stationed @ Eglin as a casual 2LT and was actually sleeping in (standard ops) when the attacks happened. I was awokened by a recall from the squadron, and was told to report to base immediately. I didn't get a chance to even watch the news until I made it to work. When I arrived @ the front gate, I saw that we were in FPCON Delta and the SPs were wearing full up combat gear and they were doing full up searches on every car entering the base. There were also 2 humvees parked right at the gate with machine guns up top that were pointing towards the gate. Crazy! As I parked @ the squadron, I noticed that there were 4 fully loaded Eagles sitting alert at the end of the runway. Very sobering. AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

I have been fortunate enough to attend an Alpena site visit, where we could freely roam the Michigan countryside. After some boozing, we stopped by the Wal-Mart to grab some additional supplies. I have never seen so much flannel & mullets in my entire life! Nice people though.

If anyone else still wants to play, I have another league that needs a few more guys. Here's the skinny: Go to espn.com fantasy... League name: Gucci Boys Password: kcten You just have to sign up by tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon...draft is tommorrow (Sep 6) @ 11PM Eastern.

Maybe after my initial commitment is up, I'll get out and use my new CFI rating to rake in the big bucks! Sweet!

Ahh, yes, tail 1950. Her and I go way back. She tried her best to do us in one night over Asscrackistan. Ended up a class B. We're cool now though.
