  1. How is that a good idea? I know if I got stuck in a position like that, I wouldn't have much motivation to work very hard. So yes, I may not "stop working," but it's 8 hour days, lots of time in the gym, long lunch, etc... I don't think I would want that kind of worker preparing the squadron/wing for the next ORI.
  2. Actually it could be dependapotamuses or dependapotami...either is correct.
  3. 4 quarts?
  4. Assuming we buy how many? I'm sure the F-22 had a much smaller price tag when we were going to buy 800 of them....how'd that work out for us? How many 35s do you think we'll buy? I'd say we're lucky if we get 8-900. I'm not a hater of the 35, I'm just a bit skeptical of it's ability to show up on time and our ability to procure very many. I'm sure it has great technology but I'm not sure i would want to convert to it just yet. Not ready to spend more time in the sim and less time in the air. What's the fuel burn rate? Serious question.
  5. No clothing allowance for Officers in the Guard either (aside from a one time $400 for your mess dress). When we need new flight suits we just have Life Support order them. I have never been issued ABUs and don't own any. As far as I know, if we want a pair, we would just swing by supply and grab a pair. As eng said, no clothing sales on our base, the nearest one is 2-2.5 hours away...makes it a real pain when you lose your hat!
  6. Not flying like a jackass would have prevented this whole thing!
  7. Yup...wasn't a dig. Copy shot, poorly worded on the "for a fighter pilot" part. I never learnt to speak good!
  8. Company tries to fuck you in the ass. This petition is an attempt to force them to use lube. That's about as caveman as I can make it for a fighter pilot. The Dragging of the feet is by the company, not the pilots. So you are correect, it's not a good practice for the pilots but a great one for the company.

    Tac, Glock already offers a damn good mil/LEO discount. See below. You can also get almost all of the Glocks for $399 (fixed sights...up to $460 with night sights) with their mil discount. There is no min number of purcheses to get the discount either. Go to the glock website, click on military, then find a dealer. Enter your zip and click on LE dealer. That will get you the LE dealer nearest you as not all dealers can offer the mil/LEO discount. Or you can order direct from Glock...wait time is ridiculous right now. I found this website on another forum. It has the pricing for Glocks/Sig/S&W. https://www.vancesle.com/category.cfm/le/firearms

    You can verbally kick me in the junk if you've already seen this. SIG mil discount. They also do a "squadron buy" type program. https://www.sigsauer....002-06-2013.pdf
  11. Hmmm...I could have sworn I saw the phase, "I've got him on the fish finder," in there somewhere!
  12. Didn't they go after USAFA guys when their commitments we cut short? Nothing would surprise me.
  13. Ok, I have to ask...what the fuck does "rogered up" mean? It's like the term "you tracking?" who the fuck uses this shit?These two terms are way more annoying than any stupid shit I hear on the radio.
  14. Ummm....what? Something about a PAR and a F-14 driver getting mad props.
  15. Man, you guys are a bunch of ate up mother fuckers! T-6 assignments for all of you! About the only time I get pissed at comm, is if we're in a stack, about to employ, and extraneous comm is hindering our ability to drop. Other than that, you can say whatever the fuck you want.

  17. If that's your argument, then the answer to his question should have been yes. Or you could just be less of an asshole. Edit: I see you edited your post... That sucks. No. Are you saying that no one can get the bonus on any airframe? Or that no one is getting hired at any airline?
  18. I didn't see anything in his post about TR, just if he could get the bonus in the Guard/Reserve. I know quite a few dudes that have rolled right off AD into AGR spots.
  19. What he said. We have several dudes on the bonus, both 2 year (15k) and 4 year (25k). Edit: clarity.
  20. Why wait? I'll put my money on a higher than normal rate of descent upon landing. Boom, safety report done...lets go to the bar. Edit: Even says it in the article, which we know anything put on the Internet has to be true.
  21. True story. Have already had a few friends hired by majors this year.
  22. So let me get this straight...women aren't always telling the truth when they claim they were sexually assaulted? Bitches be crazy!
