umm... ok Welcome to the boards. STS = So to speak. Intended use is similar to a good 'thats what she said.' Yes... but no YES: She gave me a ride last night, so to speak. What time do you think your mom is coming, so to speak. NO: I banged a chick, so to speak. My computer is on, so to speak.

No, it's a short bus. I was partial owner with 08-03. That thing was fun but a constant pit. We paid several grand for it, put a tv in, replaced the transmission, had to hot wire it to get home from dallas, secured the drive shaft with a pair of vice grips and a bungi, and replaced the battery multiple times. After all that we sold it for less than half of the original price. Good memories, but holy hell... A guy from our class was sitting at a stop sign in Florida and saw it go putting by. Apparently it was the guys on their way to ASBC. Hilarious. Glad to hear you guys dropped in a new engine. Good luck with that.

Like if you do poorly at RC school they give you this. Then if you complain about it, all of the other RC'ers tell you to quit whining because that's not why you took the RC course in the first place. You should be happy just to be a member of the RC'ers Association.

I used to go to a place over on W Main Street. Hot young blond chick there did a good job with the standard military haircut and it was fairly cheap if I recall. And she was hot. Out the front gate, right on Marshall, left onto W Main Street and under 167, left into crestview plaza. Place will be on your left. Can't remember her name.

My father in-law made a smoker like this when he visited several weeks ago. The electric heating element didn't work for shit. We ended up just charcoal smoking the pork. The next weekend some friends and I smoked the bacon explosion on it. Worked great. This subject is just hard difficult to discuss with a straight face. Blanket STS for the whole thread.

Nice. I did not see that one coming. (sts)

Did you run out of money before the tequila isle? Firefly is fantastic. Dangerous... but fantastic.

Hard to believe it's been a year.

Your avatar gave me a seizure. Always makes me laugh.

By streetbike do you mean a sportbike or cruiser? Either way, don't let anyone (especially the dealer) talk you into a bigger, faster, cooler bike. You can always upgrade and a bike that's too much will scare you more than you'll enjoy it anyway. I saw a guy leave a brand new $10,000 bike in the garage for almost two years before he finally sold it. It was just too much for him, but was talked into it by friends. Good cruisers, in my ever so humble opinion, to start on would be a VStar 650, Honda Shadow 750, or maybe a Sporster if you want to spend a little extra cash and wouldn't cry when you dropped a Harley. You can get insured on one of those first two for about $200/year. I'm not a huge fan of sport bikes, but anything around the 600 mark would probably be ok. I hear the YZF600 (not the R6 or R1) is a pretty good first sport bike. Of course there's always dirt. Cheaper, more fun, and it doesn't hurt as bad when you go ass over end. I know you said you were going to take the safety course, but start there. Don't buy a bike and then go. It'll give you a better appreciation for what you can (or want to) handle. Just my 2 pesos.

Absorutery hirarious. He won by a 99.9 percent turnout and 100 percent of the votes. Rearry?

My wife bought a house while active duty before we were married. She separated after we married and moved to live with me. 2 problems now: 1. She wasn't ordered out of the house, she separated. 2. The house isn't a primary residence so now it's considered an investment property. But on the plus side, I could have the wife quit her job and we'll stop paying the motgage. Maybe then we'll qualify for some freebees. Thanks for nothing. I guess we'll keep payin for everyone else's handouts though.

So she accidentally banged the IP? That seems like the only cut-and-dried portion of the whole incident.

This is all I can think of when P90X is on.

I guess it depends on what you mean by not at the home station. -Beer Olympics are always a good time. Flip cup, chugging relay, quarters, beer pong -An ice block, jello shots, vodka mellon... anything to make people drink more than they originally intended -In college we bought a dump truck full of sand and made a beach in the back yard. Then we got a Buffett cover band and had a luau/pig roast -Build a pool. Fill it with beer and women (paid or otherwise). Drink and enjoy the bikinis. -Around the World party. I'm sure you went to the one at Sheppard. Good booze. Good food.

I think that was Huggy's point. Maybe they should put a BAK-15 on 15R. I'm sure the argument up to this point has been that the runway is 13,000' long. The likelihood of a barrier engagement on that runway is pretty slim. That's just a guess as to why it doesn't have one, but this obviously proves anything can happen.

I think it's interesting how many different airframes they're taking for the initial cadre. It could make the final decision on a syllabus more entertaining. The 10 initial cadre pilots — seven pilots from F-16 cockpits and three pilots from F-15E Strike Eagles — are predominately graduates of the Air Force Weapons School with instructor experience and more than 1,500 hours in fighters. If any of those pilots are unavailable to join the squadron, several pilot alternates, including A-10 Thunderbolt aviators, were selected to fill the spots.

Is that only for retired guys and not an option for dudes who just separated after their ADSC?

None needed. Good post. Nice way to make a re-entrance.

The other day my wife and I were going on base. It was 100% ID checks and she didn't have her wallet. The A1C sarcastically asked (like he was clever), "Why would you go to the commissary without an ID?" I said, "Well, I've got mine." I think it confused him cause there was a long pause. His solution to the problem was this: He would hold my ID while we went shopping. We would go home, drop off the stuff, and get her ID. We would drive back to the front gate and use her ID as proof to get my ID back. WTF? So we're allowed on base without any ID now? I won't be able to buy anything at the commissary because Airman Awesome kept mine. Then, if they decide to do random ID checks at base housing, I can't get home. We just went home and got her ID real quick, no big deal. The problem solving skills under intense pressure is what I found less than entertaining.

Love that town. Never wouldn've made it through 4 years there.

I prefer, "She looked familiar."

"That? That's just razor burn."
