Web Sites For Selling A House Near Military Installations
I'm in the middle of my third FSBO. We've had good luck with a combination of AHRN, and Military by Owner. In addition, get on www.zillow.com and update the info on your home. If you don't get much traffic starting out, get on the MLS listings.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
The THIRD time the cops were called? I'm with those who would have needed protective custody on the first attempt if it had been me. I believe pepper spray in this instance was what the Commander in Chief refers to as a "teachable moment". I bet he won't do that again for at least the rest of the semester.

USAA
Covered in the USAA thread, but we quit using them too. They pissed us off on a claim for a move. Next move, they were nowhere close to a good deal on home insurance. Dropped them for car insurance too because we got a package deal from another company. I don't see us ever going back to USAA.

Afghanistan...how would you fix it?

Throw a nickle on the grass and save a fighter pilots ass
We still tell enough stories like this one, and Pardo's push that I hope guys still understand that you always bring a brother home and then deal with the fallout.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
Aw come on Ol Patch, that quote was funny all by itself. Is there a group in the Air Force more known for feeling like "I'm tired of pretending like I'm not special,". Maybe F-22s have taken that role. Maybe the Thunderbirds. Having now been deemed lame, I will sulk back to my desk and continue fighting the war, one powerpoint slide at a time.

Power Players Flip For 'Challenge Coins'
My favorite was "banned" by leadership. The organization did Operational Test. The back said "Goat ropes: Its not who we are, its what we do."

Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
Sadly, you know the response. A thousand reflective belts are cheaper than the life of a service member run over by a vehicle at the salad bar in the chow hall at noon.

New Pentagon Spokedrone
This is along the same lines, and although it almost fits in the VSP discussion, this seems like the right spot. Row well.

All-Seeing Blimp Could Be Afghanistan’s Biggest Brain
We had aerostats over most of the FOBs in Iraq. We joked at the time about trying to make it more of a public relations move by replacing the balloons with ones from the Macy's parade. We thought that a pig balloon would be a great way to let the locals know we care.

I Hate Reflective Belts
You'll never get to be Captain of the USS Enterprise if you keep this up.

Mexican aerial drone crashes in backyard of El Paso home
Just think of the poor Mexican AF pilot, stuck in a container watching you from your ceiling as you eat popcorn surf Baseops. Its liable to cause an international incident unless you remove the 2 D cell batteries.

For once I'm glad we don't have ADS-B
After consulting a review board of 3 retired middle school English teachers, I am prepared to award CHS17 the prize for breaking the Grammar Nazi Irony curse. It appears everything is correctly spelled, punctuated as well as meeting the clear, concise and correct DLO. Congratulations.

For once I'm glad we don't have ADS-B
Does that mean people will be able to identify the jets responsible for chem trails? What if the developers disappear, mysteriously like Amelia Erhart?

ACLU Goes After JSOC
Nope, that is JFCOM. JSOC actually does something.

F-15 RAPTOR being sold to Saudi!
Great stories one and all. I just wondered how A and D differed from a standard Eagle debrief? I saw the shot and I took it....

Preventing Air Show Crashes
The video from that one was all over the news at the time. From what I recall, the outboard section of the wing separated from the aircraft during straight and level flight. At that point, a shape that can't fly without the aid of computers stopped trying and became a ballistic projectile. That one could have happened anywhere, no-one was injured, and the AIB had the added advantage of having video of the accident from multiple perspectives.

Bring Back:
Colorado Springs is not too shabby. Schriever... once you get to the top of Trash Can hill, you're in Western Kansas. The only good thing is that the portals have been replaced. Not too much else to recommend that base, and God have mercy on those in base housing.

Numbered Air Force (NAF)
I honestly can't tell, was that a vote for shutting down all NAF's or justification for their existence? The forms said my sarcasm detector was intermittent today, so I'm just checking. After all, AOCs are a weapons system.
