So excited to go now 9 Jan after reading the thread - yay. Where are the good hog hunting areas? Hopefully they have rifles/handguns to borrow. I'm thinking NC-style pig pull on the grounds the ole' lodging buildings (aka "crack houses"). Have all the buildings been renovated? Nearly ten people in my ASBC class had a respiratory infection from mold after the first week in those buildings. Who wants to go deep-sea fishing? It'd be a long day of bottom fishing out of the Port of Destin, FL. Bottom fishing is the only thing in season.

Received this e-gem today.......where is your fold? "This, for some reason, has become an issue with the base. This goes for both the Sage and Black cap. 6.2.8.1. Cap will fit snugly over top of head (tight fit). Adjust cap so it may fit squarely on head. Fold edge of cap all the way around, adjust crease so that the folded edge is no more than 3 inches wide. The back of the cap should run across the nape of the neck and the front should rest within ½ inch of the eyebrows. The watch cap should reflect a diagonal line across the ears moving downwards, from front to back. No bunching and no sagging. 6.2.8.2. It will be commercially designed, plain, solid, sage green knit or fleece/micro fiber material. 6.2.8.3. Rank insignia is not worn on the sage green watch cap. I know it says no more than a 3 inch wide fold, and that no fold is “less than” 3 inches; however, it WILL be worn with a fold. Lastly, do not wear one with logos on it. There have been people walking around with the under armour caps with logos showing. Shirt"

AMC is the biggest user of FLIP, with the AETC being second from the NGA briefer. Break, break... There is only one guy working the iPad 2 app. Other versions for different devices (blackberry, whatever, etc) years down the road. I'll scan and post the briefing and it should answer several questions tomorrow.

I'll post a review of the app after testing it on a few missions. My first request would be to integrate the FCG if DoS wants to play. Ramstein uses the FCG alot being OCONUS based, but can someone say how often CONUS based airlifters use it - especially heavie?

So I haven't loaded the whole, new FLIP library yet, but will soon. Just got the NGA App installed upon my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 5 (app requirement). (edit: this would've been so much easier with Gallery permissions...)

Combination of pre-authorized leave, travel days, and proceed time. It gets a little tricky if you're talking about R&R after a 180 or 365 or IPCOT. For that consult JFTR and individual service regulations (AFI TDY travel). Other small things like Post Mission Crew Rest can be factor as well, but that is small potatoes in the grand scheme. Try AFI 65-114 or 65-113, but only after JFTR.

I'm a Beta testor for the new NGA FLIP app and will post a few screen shots and such after figuring it all out. Downloading and installing everything in the next few days Discovered that iOS 5.x or greater is mandatory upon first installation attempt.

An easy analyzation would be to compare the new SOS in-res class size multiply by classes per year then compare that number to the yearly Captain promotion list quantity. However, don't stop there - w.a.g. the backlog of those Captains who haven't been and add that to the promotion quantity until the backlog is depleted. Now compare. Is it sustainable? My guess is no and in that case what could they use as a comparison basis to allocate the scarce slots? SOS via correspondence.

LOL. Straight from the man himself.

Another step closer to becoming droids ourselves, so much for diversity...guess that comes in different programming. edit: sweet picture interweb link fixed

Wonder if they'll have the new syllabus worked out or if they'll be like previous, in-transition, test-less classes? Either way...eight weeks of something.

Heard the same thing from the AMC iPad conference...except the iPads will be significantly locked down (aka no WiFi or non-approved Apps). No mention of Jepp Apps - though definitely needed. We use Jepp's when away from ETAR all the time. So remove the functionality of an iPad and put just e-Pubs, FLIP, and maybe Jepp's ... Big Blue/AMC mothership will screw this up somehow. The Comm SQ is going to love Apple products on their network...not.

That was filled one year ago by a friend of mine. ...TDY to nearest USAF H.A.W.C. for PT tests...go figure.

3 years 2 months to MR for me.

FAIL. To fight the Finance shoes your midichlorian count (aka AFI, JFTR, and DoD FMR knowledge) must be higher than theirs. Reference attached young padawan, and don't spread rumors that screw other people out of money or lead them to jail. U4131 APARTMENT, HOUSE, OR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE REIMBURSEMENT WHILE TDY A. General. An apartment, house, or recreational vehicle (includes a mobile home, a camper, a camping trailer, or self-propelled mobile recreational vehicle) qualifies as lodging. Par. U4129-E applies for lodging with a friend/ relative. B. Expenses. In determining the daily amount of expense items which do not accrue on a daily basis such as cost for connection/ disconnection of utilities, dumping fees, shower fees, cleaning charges, monthly telephone use fee, etc., these expenses are averaged over the number of days the traveler is authorized per diem during the entire TDY trip. Allowable lodging expenses are: 1. Apartment, house, or recreational vehicle rent; 2. Parking space for the recreational vehicle rent; 3. Appropriate and necessary furniture rental, such as a stove, refrigerators, chairs, tables, beds, sofas, television, and a vacuum cleaner; 4. Connection, use, and disconnection costs of utilities including electricity, natural gas, water, fuel oil and sewer charges; 5. Dumping fees; 6. Shower fees; 7. Maid fees and cleaning charges

Patriot Riders escorted a good man through Ft. Leavenworth this afternoon. It was done right. Them, them.

Even Man vs. Food isn't perfect. Glorious satisfaction obtained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZaJExdcJZw.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Great eats round' the Rock.

We tried that, except he couldn't survive outside nor wanted to be outside ever. The cat fought to get back inside. Then when inside scratched up some people a couple of times. It was de-claw or put-down because giving away the cat wasn't an option. BTW - it it makes you feel any better it was only the front claws. Right up your alley

Whilst reading the new AFI 36-29-oh.shenanigans. I discovered perhaps this little gem.... 8.5.1.1. Configure Velcro on the Flight Jacket like the FDU/DFDU Which means the pen/pencil pocket should have velcro and doesn't. Stick with me here...and the no morale are authorized in the subsection covering the flight suit pen/pencil pocket(8.3 FDU/DFDU) but flight jackets are in section 8.4... ...and since it says, "If the pen and pencil pocket cover is removed, a morale patch is not authorized on the remaining Velcro." Which the pocket cover wasn't removed but velcro must be added to match the FDU. I submit to you Morale patches authorized on flight jackets (and ignoring the original intention of no moral patches).

We took our cat to the Vet down the road from Boyd's. Animal Hospital I think, the one by Sonic Drive-in. They did a god job de-clawing our cat. The place smelled like old animal pee when we picked up our cat.

Ohh, can't go wrong w/ cats on your shirt. Nice art kid.

Wow...he's dedicated.
