No problem here on the iPhone.

Yeah I saw that. Ugh. Wonder what her supervisor thinks of her.

First off : TIB Sucks. I hate them with the fire of 1,000 suns. Second: Suggest we lay off (On her YouTube page at least). She's an early 20's enlisted kid who probably joined to "See the world" and TIB offers that. She hasn't gotten a "chance" to deploy yet, and seeing all those places they spend our tax dollars on to get to sounds pretty exciting to some kid fresh off the farm. Can't exactly blame her for that. The stupid YouTube video, on the other hand is a different story. Standing by for spears.

Whoops! This one should work. Sorry!! Thanks for the help guys. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Aircrew_Sim_Satisfaction

Got a buddy flying the Hawg out in Korea who needs a hand with his Masters. Following survey needs inputs, esp from the heavy world. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Aircrew_Sim_Satisfaction

For any of you who frequent Southwest, with their new military contract, their military discounts are now substantial for last second travel. You have to call them on the phone, and the ticket is non-refundable. You can buy tickets day before travel for around $170 each way.

I was just thinking back to the days when I actually read this thread, and learned things about what was currently going on from it. Hell, I even managed to pull an SOS paper out of the discussion and links provided on the first couple pages (Thanks, CH!). Now, it looks like it is going to suffer the same fate as any E-Mail I get from the CGOC. What a shame.

It's for civilians (GS spots), not civilian contractors. They are good until whenever it is their contract runs out. If they don't get paid, L-3, etc sue the government (And win) for breach of contract.

What the hell were you doing reading Fox News?

WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's all about the data plates.

F'ing funny.

Those days are referred to as "Fly days", or "Holidays". As opposed to "training days", "office days", "PT days", "PHA days", "wing down days", "ORI days", "ORE days", "UCI days"...

https://health.yahoo.net/news/s/ap/fda-requires-lower-doses-for-sleep-medications WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration is requiring makers of Ambien and similar sleeping pills to lower the dosage of their drugs, based on studies suggesting patients face a higher risk of injury due to morning drowsiness. The agency said Thursday that new research shows that the drugs remain in the bloodstream at levels high enough to interfere with alertness and coordination, which increases the risk of car accidents. Regulators are ordering drug manufacturers to cut the dose of the medications in half for women, who process the drug more slowly. Doses will be lowered from 10 milligrams to 5 milligrams for regular products, and 12.5 milligrams to 6.25 milligrams for extended-release formulations. The FDA is recommending that manufacturers apply these lower doses to men as well, though it is not making them a requirement. The new doses apply to all insomnia treatments containing the drug zolpidem, which is sold under brands including Ambien, Edluar, Zolpimist and in generic forms. It is the most widely prescribed sleeping aid prescribed in the U.S. The changes don't affect other popular sleeping medicines like Lunesta and Sonata, which use different drugs. FDA officials pointed out that all sleeping drugs carry warnings about drowsiness. "All sleep drugs have the potential to cause this, so health professionals should prescribe — and patients should take — the lowest dose that is capable of preventing insomnia," said Dr. Ellis Unger, a director in FDA's Office of Drug Evaluation, on a teleconference with reporters. Unger added that the FDA will begin requiring developers of sleep drugs to conduct driving simulation studies going forward. Ambien has been blamed for several recent high-profile driving accidents in the past year, including Tom Brokaw in September and Kerry Kennedy in July. The FDA has received more than 700 reports of driving-related problems connected to zolpidem over the years. "But in most cases it was very difficult to determine if the driving impairment was actually related to zolpidem," Unger said. "Usually the reports did not contain information about when the accident happened or how much time had lapsed since taking the drug." The agency decided to take action after recent driving simulation studies showed that, in some patients, drug levels remained high enough to cause difficulty driving. The data came from company studies of Intermezzo, a new form of zolpidem which was approved in 2011 for people who wake late at night and can't get back to sleep. The data showed that 33 percent of women and 25 percent of men taking extended-release zolpidem had enough of the drug in their blood to interfere with driving as much as eight hours later. When the dose was cut in half only 15 percent of women and 5 percent of men had those same drug levels. FDA analysis was unable to determine why women metabolize zolpidem so much more slowly than men. According to FDA staff, the difference cannot be accounted for by usual factors like size and weight. For now, patients should continue taking their currently prescribed dose until they can talk to their doctor about the best way to proceed. "We really don't want people to change the dose they're on. We want them to talk to their health care provider," Unger said. Ambien is marketed by Sanofi, Intermezzo by Purdue Pharma LP and Zolpimist by NovaDel Pharma Inc.

Just closed on a re-finance with Brian Myers. Super easy, folks were a big help. They even sent a notary out to Montgomery so I could close while in SOS. Rate was 3.25%.

Don't: Ever try to apply ROTC/OTS/USAFA lessons to real life on this board, or around your peers while in any Undergraduate flying programs. Do: Hang out with your bros on weekends, go to San Antonio/Oklahoma City/Dallas/The Beach/Wherever the fuck people in Mississippi go for fun, drink beer, chase tail, and be a good dude.

Because they are needed for staff tours, and to fly UAV's.

Propose we promote Motrin on the board as well. Seems to me that between him (Her?) and deaddebate, baseops has a pretty powerful medical team, which is awesome!

Noted and applied. My bad. Here is the MOH citation for anyone interested:

Nice! It's good to see a broad selection of aircraft being dropped now.

My inner nerd ran the Googlez on M2's number. It is littarally the maximum number of "Likes" he can have in a 32 bit computer system. The reason it does not change is that the computer can't figure out any more! From the ever reliable source, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2147483647
