Wow, now that's some real bullshit. I hate fat people.

I Hate Reflective Belts
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.

Get out your wallet, fatty!
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.

Kicked out of AFROTC HELP!?
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.

CLASSIC: De Motivational Poster Contest!
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.

I'd tell that cop to either produce in writing the "3 sec rule" or go fuck himself. He'll be doing the later.

What is Gouge?
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.

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.

What is Gouge?
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.

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.

If You Think You're A Ninja...Think Again
Damn, I should have put that together. "Overconfidence in abilities" + "alcohol related" = Bendy. Of course, it all makes sense now!

If You Think You're A Ninja...Think Again
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.

2009 Fort Hood Shooting
No actually I didn't see that post, but since you mentioned it I went back and looked. And guess what, your list of "Christian Terrorist Organizations" is a freakin joke. You listed a bunch of groups who have "out there" ideologies, but minus the group in Uganda, you have an incredibly low body count. Meaning these are just groups that shout rhetoric. In fact Russian National Unity has little to no religious motivation at all. They just want Russia back to the old principles with only "true" Russian people, and just b/c they want Jews out doesn't make them a Christian terrorist organization. A handful of Muslims killed 5000 Americans in one day while this entire list you put down have done jack shit except bitch and moan (for the most part). Your list compared to Muslim terrorism is like comparing apples to iphones...they are just that different. Ok sure, but were talking about religion motivating terrorism. A few Christian people spouting off rhetoric and on top of that barely killing anyone does not make Christianity a violent religion(especially since killing = violence and they're doing very very littleof that). However on the other hand, you have hundreds of Islamic terrorist organizations who have killed tens of thousands of people inthe name of religion. Do the math Vertigo, Islamic followers have killed in the tens of thousands while you have a few named Christian groups who really just bitch and moan and have killed a few people here and there over the years. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Just the way it is...why do you need gradesheets for mission planning? All you really need to know is if you passed or not and are thus moving on to the next ride.

2009 Fort Hood Shooting
No I don't see the flaw in my logic...why? It's because you named three dudes of which one has not harmed a single person and just leads idiotic protests, another who killed one person and Rudolph who killed two. Are these guys complete nutjobs? Yes. However, in the last 8years, there's thousands of Muslims out there (dead or alive) who have killed far more than one person in the name of religion. So no, 3 people who used Christianity as a reason to kill 3 people between them IS NOT even remotely close to all the members of AQ, JI,etc. who have killed thousands because of Islam and their beliefs. Ok fine, I'll say Indonesia and Malaysia and not include the rest of SEA. Those two places (mostly Indonesia) is where all these problems lie. Look up Jemaah Islamiyah. They used to be an independent terrorist organization, but are now pretty much just a strong arm for AQ in SEA. They run tons of these schools and have made Indonesia a very dangerous place. Even though the Indonesian govt is trying to crack down and even allowing the US to help, it's still a completely out of control problem. Many Muslims who aren't even born in SEA move there from the Middle East, "learn" and then go back to the Middle East to put their "knowledge" to work...much like Africa. Do more research before you just go off of "well my vacation was nice."

2009 Fort Hood Shooting
Vertigo...read. I said there's plenty of good Muslims out there that don't take those passages "to the extreme." No where did I say just b/c Islam preaches violence does that mean every single Muslim is a terrorist. Ok, sure. But, religion is what their "views" and "way of life" are built on. Islam is the foundation for everything they do. I would buy that these extremist are kind of dragging Islam into this, but the point is they use the Qaran as justification for their views and actions. Therefore, the religion is promoting violence. That doesn't mean every Muslim is violent, but that's just b/c they don't choose to follow it to that point. Look at SEA...the place is a complete breeding ground for terrorism. There's countless Islamic religious schools that start indoctrinating kids at age 5 about Islam and how every non-believer must die. By the time these kids are 7 or 8, they'd gladly cut your 7 yr old daughter's head off if they got the chance. Guess what, all of that violence is based completely on religion. Are a bunch of fuck stains down there using religion to justify their desires and teachings...you bet. Is it wrong, yes. But in reality, the Qaran does back up what they're saying, even if they're taking it "too far" or "too literally." You can say you don't believe Islam in it's purity to be violent, but the point is enough Muslims of today have made it a violent religion.

Military Discounts
Best Buy does tax free with a mil ID. And it's apparently all the time, not just for Veteran's Day. Don't know if that's a chain-wide thing, but it works here in Phoenix.

2009 Fort Hood Shooting
I never tried to compare Islam to Christianity. Hell, look at the Crusades...that was the exact same thing as terrorism today. People taking scripture out of context/the wrong way and using it as justification for violence against others. In fact, if I had lived back then, I would have called Christianity a religion of violence...b/c it was, at the time. However, right now Christianity is not promoting wide scale violence against others, but Islam is. Like I said above, that's not to say there are plenty of good muslims who do not take those passages as direct guidance to kill all westerners, but who has committed 98% of terrorist acts in the past 30 yrs...Muslims. Maybe things will change in the future, but that's the way it is right now.

Maybe you and everyone else who stupidly thinks it's not a violent religion should be the ones doing the reading. "Quaran 9:5 -Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free." "Quaran 9:25 - Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day" "Quaran 9:34 - They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings of a painful doom" So in conclusion, quotes directly from the Muslim holy book - Kill people unless they repent and become Muslim, fight those who don't believe in Allah and bring "painful doom" against those who don't follow Allah. Copy, not a violent religion. I'm not saying there aren't good Muslims out there, but you're a dumbass if you think it's not a religion of violence. Luckily there are good Muslims out there who don't strictly adhere to the parts (such as above), but it's shit like above which drives the "radical" Islamists like Maj Assclown.

Info on Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS/UAV/RPA)
They do log UAV hours, but since there isn't a companion trainer of some sort (yet??), they're not going to be current in any airframe. However, that's not the same as "they're not pilots anymore" or something along those lines. If they go back to an aircraft, they'll just get re-qualed in it like they would if they had gone to a non-flying staff tour for 3 yrs.
