Probably not. Plus, would you really want to try and use PFPS on an Iphone? That would suck balls.

Ben, I'd personally recommend ROTC if you're thinking about doing a "normal" 4-yr college career at a university. I knew several prior enlisted guys who had some sort of scholarship from the AF for ROTC that was only available to enlisted (something like SSGT pay while attending college...why wouldn't you go for that!). ROTC will give you a much better chance at a pilot slot than OTS. Also, your major matters ZERO in ROTC when it comes to commissioning or get a pilot slot. Do something you like and DO NOT be another guy who thinks engineering gives you a better chance and end up hating life, failing school, etc. when you could have just done Business or whatever and gotten a pilot slot. Maybe speedy is correct regarding OTS, but that's certainly not the way ROTC is. Food for thought.

We got out of Verizon when we moved to Enid. We had to show a copy of my orders. We also got out of T-Mobile while at Vance based on me saying I got zero signal at work, and I wasn't going to pay for a service I could only use 1/2 of the day. The latter took more bitching and resolve, but I did it. The key is to never give up and being a pain in their ass. I always recommend starting off with the nice route and explaining the situation (moving, won't have signal, need it b/c I'm pregnant and have to be able to call my husband, etc., etc.). Hopefully you get a nice person who understands and does what you want. If not, hang up, try another person. If that person is unhelpful, bring out the "bitch mode" and don't stop until you've talked to supervisors et al...they have to let you out b/c of a mil move, they just may fight you some and tell you they can't. Don't believe them or let them convince you otherwise.

"Rampant Speculation" - Sleep walking + seizure probably means you're screwed. I think you would stand little to no chance of getting a security clearance, plus this is something more than "just a minor condition." Again, speculation, but that's what I'm thinking. Try to talk to a recruiter about it and see if they have any info on what is/is not waiverable.

When will the AF finally get it...the club sucks ass b/c they made it suck ass. Start allowing people to get hammered without fear of repercussion, strippers and porn in the bar, cigars inside allowed, etc. What's so fucking hard to understand. There's a reason we only hang out at our own bars. I'd be all about the club if it was like all the stories I've heard from the pre-90s. If it goes back to that, then the AF might actually get people to go to the club.

BFM is a fluid environment. All it takes is a "small" change in some aspect of the fight to cause one jet to do something which either hurts or helps the other jet's "cause." No fight will ever be the same. I think the problem is you're thinking far too much in a vacuum with constant variables. BFM can be described by two words much of the time: it depends.

That's what I did, except our leader dude didn't give a shit if we had the water bag full if we were filling a camelbak in it's place. Then again, one morning it backfired on me when I pulled on my line to get more "reach" and pulled it right out of the camelbak. Leading to me being drenched down the backside in 20 deg weather with it snowing. Not cool!

Haha, nice.

I've never had problems with life support. But I did have some MX guys try to "encourage" me to take a jet I knew had something wrong with it. I told them no way, I'm going to a spare. It took the Top 3 to get the Super to actually give me a spare. What a jackass...he could care less, it's not his ass in the air. That really pissed me off, but other than that I've never had problems.

Just b/c a MX guy "knows the job" doesn't mean he's always right when it comes to the jet. Two days ago I had to taxi back to chocks to get a "simple" problem fixed, however as I was taxiing out of arming the engine started to surge at idle, engine instruments were fluctuating rapidly...completely abnormal. So I told lead I was just taking the jet back and getting a spare...he agreed (mind you he's a 2000 hr patch wearer). I got back to the chocks and a "specialist" tried to convince me that everything was w/in ops limits (they weren't) and that I should just let them fix the other issue and take this jet. I said no, I'm shutting down and going to a spare. I then go to talk to the MX super and ask him about a spare, his reply: "Sir, I can't just give you a spare b/c you don't feel like flying this jet." I was shocked...I told him, fine call the TOP 3 and see what he has to say. Needless to say I went to a spare a few min later. When it comes down to it, MX plays a numbers game and it's not their asses in the air. I've had no problems with MX until that day, but it just goes to show they're not always looking to do the "right" thing.

Jailbreak + PDAnet (an app) = tethering

And how exactly would the insurance company prove your doors were unlocked when the car was stolen?

Dude, I agree. Like I said, I'm a big proponent of purchasing F-35s as well as more F-22s (than the current buy number). Also, the A-10s and F-15Es aren't going away right away. So if the Govt decides to pull their nuggets out of their ass and buy some more F-22s in addition to the F-35 buy, I think we'll be in a good position. You bet. I'm not blowing up about my resume (hence my "I KNOW VERY LITTLE about..."), however I certainly understand and know a lot more about this general subject than a civilian with no classified access and someone who's not even a military pilot. My problem isn't with the F-22, it's with some guy who doesn't know shit about fighters/military flying and yet still thinks he's right when he says things that are flat out wrong. I have no dog in an argument with dudes like EvilEagle, Buddy or Beerman...but I certainly do with a guy like blackstang.

Maybe just my opinion, but it's not a bad thing to keep cost as a high priority, AS LONG AS you get a good product that meets specs. Remember, the F-16 idea was a basic day VFR fighter that would be "cheap" to build. Don't tell me the Viper isn't a very good fighter. That's just an example of how a project started with such a simple/low cost outlook and evolved into something much more. The same can be said for the F-35. I completely agree that we should be buying both. In no way do I think we should stick to just 187 Raptors...it's retarded. I think we need both and I'm not here for a fighter x is better than fighter y. But it's dumb to think either aircraft is far superior to the other. They're both excellent fighters with mind-blowing technology that will allow us to keep a vast edge on our enemies from some similar standpoints, but also from very different standpoints. Just b/c they differ in some areas does not make one worse than the other. If I took your post the wrong way, my apologies.

WTF was that guy thinking...on multiple occasions. I think this d-bag is the winner for gayest tats ever.

And that's based on what? Never had a capes brief, have you?

We could, but that doesn't include not buying the equipment we need. Doing with less means stop buying 69 plasma TVs every fucking year for every squadron. Stop changing every uniform on a 2 yr basis. Stop buying the scheduler 4 GHz computers with 4 22" LCD monitors so he can use...excel (I mean seriously, WTFO). My wife has a GS job...sounds like the civilian side blows as much money on random shit as the AF does. I'm not kidding when I say I bet we could save BILLIONS by just not buying stupid shit. Oh wait, you say that's common sense...never mind, that won't be happening.

F-15 "Twin Tailed Butt Pirate" Didn't know the Eagle had more than one name!

There's only one right answer and that's it.

2 on Laphroaig. I'll also throw in Bowmore...good stuff. I realize it's only Coors, but they will give military a ton of free beer at the end of the tour. Ska is awesome. Well, basically everyone you listed there is awesome. I'd also throw in Left Hand. As far as Whiskey: You can't go wrong with JD. There's also a Colorado distillery that makes Whiskey and it's good stuff. Just google Colorado Whiskey and you should find it.

Sounds like a rumor started at a UPT base. I'm just saying all the word going around here is exactly the opposite of what you said. They're not closing multiple Viper squadrons and sending Vipers to the boneyard, just to buy some more vipers when they can just wait 4 yrs or so for the 35 to be operational. I'd love to be completely wrong and have what you said happen, but I'm just stating reality as it stands right now.

With the rate at which Viper squadrons are going away, I would think Viper UPT drops will never get back to what they were. I have a feeling we'll continue to see a drought for a while longer until AFPC realizes the "not enough fighter pilot" shit storm they're heading towards. Maybe it'll be like the late 90s all over again. Who knows.

Yeah, guess my mind thinks in bigger numbers. Either way, the guys still a dumbass.

I like how the guy accepts touching down with about 1300 ft remaining. Nice.

Non-existent. The state the guard unit is from pays the AF to put a dude through UPT-IFF-RTU. So, their slots are allocated separately from AD slots. Seems like every guard guy here at Luke starts here still a 2LT. The guard guy in my class hasn't even done any survival yet b/c he had very little break between UPT, IFF and RTU.
