    I don't care if you do have a family at home (I do), that doesn't excuse you from hanging out on a Friday at least for a while. There is no requirement for you to get hammered/roll into your house puking, but shit, who eats dinner before 6 anyways? You should still have plenty of time to have a few, bullshit with your bros and then be home by dinner. If you can't even do that, then you are part of the problem and it will be noticed.

    Impressive. But seriously, that's awesome your squadron has stopped being a bunch of weak dicks when it comes to the bar. Hopefully it turns out to be a sweet bar that everyone uses instead of just 2-3 dudes on a Friday. Don't let dudes skip out on a Friday at 4. I don't care who you are, there is no reason you need to be home on a Friday prior to at least 6.

    Gun Talk

    I've always wanted to do the front sight course/have my wife take it, but just been too busy and with a move coming up, probably won't happen for a while. I fully plan on her taking a course when we move, but probably won't be as full up as front sight. Any recommendations on specific revolvers/pistols your wife likes?
  4. Anybody can easily get a military uniform. I could easily go to a milsurp store and bam, I'm SPC Snuffy. So, I have no problem with TSA doing the same process for those in uniform. Not to mention even I could probably counterfeit a mil ID well enough to pass the "don't have to take off your boots" thing.

    Gun Talk

    I want to get my wife a gun for personal protection...especially since I'll be gone for a year coming up soon. I have an arsenal in the house, but she's not real adept to using an AR, 12 GA, etc. She even doesn't like my .40 Glock. So, I'm thinking a .38 revolver or something along those lines is best. She doesn't have to deal with a slide or a larger round like a .40 or .45. My only concern is 5/6 rounds vs a 10+ rd mag. What are your guy's opinions on the amount of rds carried for her and any recommendations?

    WOW. Mega douchebag doesn't even describe this guy. I hope he realizes what a total toolbag he is...sadly, I'm sure he doesn't.
  7. I'm starting to think each community is getting drastically different F-35 briefs. I've seen quite a lot of completely wrong info posted here about it...at least wrong compared to the info/briefs I've seen. I'm not in the know, but I do know what I've seen on powerpoint presentations and SIPR, and it doesn't correlate to things on this site. I expect wrong info posted by those without the access, but surprising to see those with the access. I don't really care, just an observation. And like superwso said, with no real replacement for either the Bone or Mudhen on the near horizon, I think WSOs have a good amount of time left.

    We still get hammered, smoke, gamble and play crud all in the same night at our bar. There's a lot of giving each other shit in good fun, cussing abounds, there's porn laying out, and it's impossible to offend anyone. I love every minute of it. I won't say it's like the old days, b/c I don't know...but yes, fighter squadron bars are still alive. Hacker perfectly sums up everyone's feelings on the club. Fuck those guys.
  9. The 5 mountain resorts in Colorado offer mil discounts with an ID right at the window. They're probably still about $50-60, but that beats $110 or whatever they are now.
  10. Wow, now that's some real bullshit. I hate fat people.
  11. Well they should have been wearing RBs, thus rendering "look both ways" useless. No need to look before crossing the street means less energy expended, thus more energy can be spent on being closed 4/7 days of the week while deployed. It's science. Funny how we were all taught the simple "look both ways" when we were 3 yrs old and all of us have avoided getting hit by vehicles without wearing RBs. I hate this ridiculous "safety conscious" society.
  12. Does anything happen past you (or another pilot) walking back there and telling the fatass to STFU and the other guy can have his arm rest down if he wants? Only once have I had some fatass try to lift the arm rest and I told him no way. He was visibly pissed about it, but he didn't start an argument or complain. I can't believe some fat d-bag would actually think they have a leg to stand on.
  13. There is no way that can be serious! I mean really...
  14. Having a B and going to a D is purely indicative of not knowing the material. Don't bullshit them about not sleeping, feeling sick, blah blah. Those are a bunch of BS excuses. The truth is maybe you have other distractions in your life right now and you didn't prioritize studying like you should have. You've learned a valuable lesson about prioritization and this won't happen again (hopefully). Beyond that statement, you really have nothing else to stand on. Like others have said, discuss professionally, but don't hurt your case by trying to make lame excuses. If it doesn't work out, there's other options...don't give up.
  15. So even a UPT student works more hours in one day than the "deployed warriors" work in an entire week! How can these assclowns be even the slightest bit confused when we call them worthless. I'm not even deployed and that sign pisses me off a whole bunch.
  16. I'd tell that cop to either produce in writing the "3 sec rule" or go fuck himself. He'll be doing the later.
  17. Watching that video was terrible. It's very unfortunate, but sometimes it's the "simple" stuff that can kill you. Here's to them
  18. I say there is no way this would happen without alcohol or an Asian woman driving. Seeing as it wasn't the latter...
  19. Having a copy of the exact test is cheating, but no way the above two are bad things. Instructor's script sounds a lot like the SEFE gouge papers that has the questions he asks, what EPs he likes to give, etc. There's nothing wrong with that. If someone has mission materials already done that can help me out on a checkride, damn straight I'll use them. Maybe you've just gotten the standard UPT/UNT "if it's not in an AF issued manual, it's cheating" talk, but that's a bunch of BS. In fact, when you get out of that training environment, it gets a lot better. Everyone is in the books and knows their shit (for the most part), but sometimes some study notes before hand and/or CTRL+F for some yearly thing is not a bad thing and does not mean you don't know what you need to know to safely and effectively complete the mission.
  20. You can get CS3 Extended on Amazon for $160. If your a student of higher education (working on your masters busdriver?), you can get CS4 student edition for $180. So there's two examples that are significantly less than $700. There's also "other" sources, but that's up to you.
  21. And I've seen some dudes get completely bent over (sts) b/c some cockslobber decided to tell on them for using gouge. If anyone tells me they never once used gouge, they're either a liar or that guy. I'm not saying you should be cool with someone trying to change grades, steal a test ahead of time from the flt/cc's computer while he left it logged in, etc. Dubs, definitely not saying you think gouge is wrong or whatever, or that you're the type who would do the aforementioned, but just saying there's a line between cheating and gouge/helping bros out...some people don't understand the good side of the line and think it's all bad. Those people are douchebags.
  22. It's written in AFI 69-6969...Kayla, I can't believe this whole time you've been going against written rules!
  23. Photoshop CS3 or 4. I have 4 now and it's an awesome and extremely capable program. It's also not too difficult to figure out, even for a beginner to visual editing.
  24. Damn, I should have put that together. "Overconfidence in abilities" + "alcohol related" = Bendy. Of course, it all makes sense now!
  25. I figured everyone could use a good, light-hearted laugh at the expense of a complete dumbass. https://www.foxnews.c...test=latestnews SEATTLE — Seattle police say a man who thought he was a ninja was impaled on a metal fence when he tried to leap over it. An officer who was looking for an assault victim nearby Monday night heard the man screaming for help. Policesupported him to prevent further injuries until medics arrived and tookhim to a hospital, where he was in serious condition in intensive careon Tuesday. Police spokeswoman Renee Wittwrote in a department Web site posting that officers thought the manmight have been involved in the reported assault, but he insisted hewas just a ninja trying to clear a 4- to 5-foot-tall fence. Witt says the man was "overconfident in his abilities," and that alcohol likely played a role. His name was not released.
