have a friend leaving this weekend to transition to the MC from the EC (he's a CSO/EWO). Is the schoolhouse backed up right now, or does he have a reasonable chance of graduating "on time"?

damn. This month has not been a good month for mishaps at BAF (2 fatal Class As and a Class B). A Toast...

I just read the AFSAS final message... The SIB did a great job, and it was a tough read. Go talk to your local SE shop to take a look...will take a good hour to read through it all.

well they aren't doing a very good job, as the name of the pilot at least has been splashed all over FB since about 2 hrs after the mishap occurred.

Kolb and where? I obviously haven't been paying attention to signs on poles around town...

they're sprinkled on youtube...NatGeo tries to shut them down as soon as they find them, so any link I post now probably won't work a week from now. I was there when MX acquired the white bus from DRMO and started decorating it (2009). My favorite mod was the minigun exhaust pipe.

My formation had one of the first unpartnered missions (I think), back in 2010, and the location was about 200 miles from the nearest coalition troops, and near a border with another country. So we were out there alone and unafraid...when we got overheard, we saw tire tracks, and elected to land there (figured they wouldn't drive where there was a mine). Had to take a terp with us on the mission...luckily it was extremely uneventful (other than for the 4 Cat A ABP we picked up).

negative, upgrade timelines are unaffected (AT&T experience here, have suspended and upgrade successfully several times with no timeline slip). Civilians may have this issue, but not military.

there's no downside to suspending, it's free, and you get to keep your number.

I've suspended service with AT&T several times (deployments, OCONUS PCS) with no issues. And yes, definitely request them to unlock your phone before you deploy, then you can pop local SIM cards in from downrange, and that can become your international phone for travel.

my fave was when she asked the expert how many times he had been "terrified behind the wheel of a Learjet."

just watched the second episode on youtube...while the first episode left me feeling pumped up about my job, the second episode had a downer effect. Great episode, but when I was done watching it, it was like "fuck." And it brought back some memories of similar missions I've had over the years. My Js had to dart a guy in the back of my helo to reinflate a lung, and now I know what that looks like, and of course that mission was the worst brownout I have EVER experienced, and my FE and gunner agreed.

AFSEC is generating Class A SIB support, that's all I know.

Done.though what I would prioritize in my sim wasn't one of the choices.

And the frontenders use them a lot to deal with dust/snow on approach since our doors are removed. Also nice when it starts to get cold for blocking the wind

hmm. Works in IE, but not FF. Will investigate further.

it's up on youtube now, for those who don't have NatGeo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2SuQRhxiME

when did chat stop working? I get kicked out as soon as I enter...

yeah, I noticed that, too. Chalked it up to recent FF plugin updates...

it was one of today's headlines on the BBC news app

Penis Size Matters to Female Moles

now that the AF standard desktop includes Adobe Pro, was wondering if anyone has heard of a HUP/EPP for this software? Would love to get my hands on a copy on the cheap!

did someone hack BO.net and put a bunch of Thunderchickens on the main page?
