  1. Got it, I went a grabbed a beer, I'm with you now.
  2. 2 CmbtWmbt, I'm sure just about everyone knows that a digital display is "glass". We were more or less explaining the concept and how it differs between aircraft. SEP asked about capabilities, and we explained that it probably wasn't the same type of glass cockpit as he thought. Easy killer...
  3. That's what they did for the most part. The EADI and EHSI have some options as far as going into map mode, arc mode, bring up and turn off certain needles, composite the HSI and ADI onto one screen, etc. and the VSI changes to the TAS view or NACWS view when you pull the trigger. Other than that, there aren't many options on the other screens. edit: I wasn't explaining this for you Riddller, it was for SEP. I wasn't trying in insult your intelligence
  4. Instead of a "glass cockpit" with a couple large LCD screens (a la T-38), there are 10 (including RMU and GPS). Still glass, just different. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys...f-0000s-003.jpg https://www.t6driver.com/Pictures/t6_glasscockpit.jpg
  5. 24,511 Marines Killed 88,119 USAAF members Killed Granted, there were over 3 million servicemen in the AAF and only 670,000 Marines... Still, I would never have guessed that.
  6. The only time I've ever seen it outside of a roll call is when I see guys playing crud.

    Sweet

    They don't exist. Hope this helps.
  8. FWIW, I don't mind it, as long as it's not taken to extremes. I agree that if you intentionally say things so that others will say so to speak, then you may be a doucher. However, a well placed and occasional so to speak is quite funny, kind of like the occasional 'that's what she said".
  9. This thread needs to be a required reading item for the Navy guys before they get to Vance for UPT. All of the Navy guys in my class had problems with sts, and they would do the whole "So to speak?" like it was a question and look to one of us for confirmation.
  10. I don't think it would've been as classic as we all would've hoped. If she really thought it necessary to write to this column about her not getting a salute, then her mind is warped enough to brush this off and not think anything of it. You can't fix stupid...
  11. Then again, if you had a 40% UAV drop at CB, VN, or XL, you would have 1 Fighter or bomber 1 FAIP 1 U-28/NSA/MC-12, etc 2 UAVs How exciting would that be...
  12. Everyone knows what happened...some Col. was sitting in the pentagon one bullet short on his OPR and thought to himself: "I'll just change the name "Global War on Terror" to "A Contingency Operation. That will fill some white space!" edit: grammar

  14. All news is biased. However, I highly doubt that Fox is putting out fake or biased news reports because they want us to go to war. Just in case you need proof: https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/09/us.navy.china/ https://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/03/0...iref=newssearch https://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wo...0,3328751.story

    Mustache

    I'm glad I'm not alone. My wife pulled the same.

    Mustache

    That's just the start. Here was our chain: Flt/CC Sq/CC OG/CCE OG/CV OG/CC MEO JAG WG/CCE WG/CV WG/CC I have a staff summary sheet around here somewhere to prove it. Where will the end?

    Mustache

    That's amazing. They didn't want to approve VN 09-13's patch because the wings on it were half navy half air force. This would never even be considered at Vance.
  18. But make sure you get the correct GWOT ribbon when the time comes...don't be that guy like I had in my ASBC flight that bought the GWOT Expeditionary ribbon by mistake.
  19. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2009/02/..._death_022309w/ Front page of air force times. Glad to see they picked up on the story.

    Mustache

    I won't mind doing it on deployments or in March for that matter. But lately the mustache is getting out of hand. I witnessed a "Mustache Movemeber" back in November. It was a bit of a stretch.
  21. I'm married, but I hear the island is the way to go, regardless. Thanks for the advice.
  22. Rumor coming through the grapevine was that they were going to do away with the on wing thing in order to prevent one guy from having all grades from a santa vs a guy who gets a hammer. Any truth or updates on this?
  23. Student Tunes3, thanks for the insight. I'll talk to the guys I know that are going there as well and figure it out. edit: added response to Tunes3
  24. I got my RIP for Corpus the other day and saw I was going to VT-31 (which has the actual T-44). I've been told by some guys to try and get to VT-35 and do C-12s. Other than the obvious differences between the aircraft, is there and difference in training or benefits in trying to train in one over the other?
  25. Wait a minute...why is she complaining? That means there should be a pot of gold in her yard every time she turns on the sprinkler right?
