I was there in 2003. All was fine and dandy. 3x pint sized beers a day with decent selection, the wagon wheel before and after the storm that tore it up, but we didn't care, and we wore whatever was comfortable. The mission got on. Then Roche shows up. I overhear him ask, "so you guys don't wear a uniform 24/7?" Queue in knee-jerk reaction which institutes the PT-like clothing restrictions that seemed to change weekly as someone saw something that they didn't like. We hear anecdotal stories of ladies with suitcases full of shoes, supposedly for the wagonwheel fashion show, as why we need to change. It will save weight on rotators they say, but never mind the xx lbs of useless chem gear/army gear we haul every rote. "Leadership" was way too awesome making this change <--- sarcasm! My next 2 times there in 2004 was the civilian PT like clothing. I don't recall when official PT gear went into style, but I think we had to have it for my 2005 rote. And now we don't have to wear it. People can get 3x beers a day, but selection has seen better days. There is a Bra. And I think the mission is still getting on. Weird. Out

F-16 & Cessna mid-air over SC
disgruntledemployee replied to TacAirCoug's topic in General Discussion
If you don't have TCAS, ask for it. It has provided heads up SA when ATC was busy/forgot/didn't see it or when I'm out on the low level not talking to ATC. Out -
Are you supporting the pedophile in my make believe situation? If so, then their make believe lawsuit is thrown out since they were just added to the sex offender list in the make believe lawsuit I filed, all we all lived happily ever after. The End.

Financial Planning for a US default
disgruntledemployee replied to Clark Griswold's topic in Squadron Bar
Ooooh, can I try? 1. The military will be used to "invade" Texas. So, I'll stay away from any evil-government locations that will be used to subdue the population. Why do you think homeland got a billion rounds of ammo, target practice? 2. I have automatic motion sensing drones with a shotgun barrel attached that will sense enemies approaching and autolaunch and engage. They will know me and my family, but everyone else is a target. They'll be charged with a battery bank linked to solar power arrays. I have a reloading station in case of a large hoard. I'll keep adding drones until I get at least 50. And I'm installing well placed pop up gun turrets with that Bruce Willis gun mount. 3AM knife wielding sociopaths--dead! 2a. Those radio transmissions will be fake and cannot be trusted, so I'll stay on my "land" with its "mass of wood," but I don't have drywall. You see, I replaced the drywall with lead lined steel. And I installed a recirculated filtered air system to keep out the chems from overflying aircraft which will try to drug me and trick me into submission. Oh, and I have a moat with piranha around my "This Land." 3. Hah, all my like minded people are in my head and we agree. But I've adopted a bunch of little kids and trained them to defend me. I'm indestructible! -
"Gee, officer, I thought that it was a pedophile operating that spying device looking in on my kids bathroom." But before the officer shows up, if the operator shows up first, a picture of them on my doorstep posted to social media calling them pedophiles trying to spy on my little kids gets posted. Need anymore justification? I could make up all sorts of justification. And I'll gladly roll those dice. Because nobody likes pedophiles. Out

I like it. Brogan is like the millennial version of the duchy anti-bro, kind of like "Kramer." If it sticks, neat. If not, I'll return to my 75 IBU pint of IPA. Out, oh and cheers.

EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program)
disgruntledemployee replied to a topic in General Discussion
Sadly, you like have to do your own homework. As for the specialist, it doesn't have to be MTF (military). Some EFMP specialty docs don't exist in the mil system. In my area, we have a good children's hospital and folks go there for their specialty care. If you find a local civilian specialist, and they accept Tricare, and you make EFMP aware they exist, and the doc has space, the local clinic has the final say and convincing them may be a challenge. Be ready to lead everyone by the nose and push past the frustrations. This was my experience and I eventually got out of that program knowing me and the wife could do it better on our own. I likely have Tricare EFMP PTSD. Good luck, Out -
In honor of Rowdy Roddy's death, go watch "They Live," bubble gum optional. https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/the-turnstile/wrestling-superstar-roddy-piper-dead-at-61-224152886.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDKdHuyQpHY Edit, video is better than the picture. RIP Mr Piper, watching your antics on Saturdays was a blast.

If it has a camera, I'm classifying it as a surveillance (spy) device. Invade my property, get shot. Out

I thought that all mil aircraft were mandated by Congress to have TCAS after the 141 mid air.

Hollywood is on top of it, they will set us straight. And that will become the truth. Out

Well officer, it looked like a duck and it was over my property, so... And They'd bypass such an infringement upon their freedom. Psst, hey kid, wanna hacked EPROM to take full control of that "toy" of yours? Out

F-16 & Cessna mid-air over SC
disgruntledemployee replied to TacAirCoug's topic in General Discussion
It's important for aviators to know their environment. The C-27 vs Herk out near Pope is another example of crews oblivious to each other. Keep scanning you all, it may be the only thing that saves you one day. Out -
Some Yahoo article pointing to an online site doing a brewery survey. Check off the ones you like. I must say it was a nice list, but didn't go deep enough for some local-regional favorites of mine. I did it while enjoying a Tallgrass. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/best-craft-breweries-survey

C-130 down in Indonesia (not US)
disgruntledemployee replied to Napoleon_Tanerite's topic in General Discussion
Weight likely was factor, but its quite likely the crew didn't have the skills and practice to handle an engine failure/prop malfunction at takeoff. Or calculate TOLD properly and tell 20 people to stay put in the off chance the have an engine problem. And if it was an underpowered E model.... Common issues with some other countries that fly Mighty Herc. Out -
Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
disgruntledemployee replied to Toro's topic in General Discussion
What if you get pregnant? I have a better idea, delete the useless job altogether. We've all been there and seen or played the wasted job and know what it looks like. Delete! There, now give me my 10% of the savings so i can retire a multi millionaire. Out -
The true daily work of non-flying jobs at many deployed spots does not justify the number of people. Even with CCs considerate of extra bodies and looking to cut, they second guess and change their mind. It was always the "in case the shit hits the fan" excuse. The mentality will not go away. "I'm in charge of a lot of people" and the bigger the better for many CCs. And so much of the work is pure crap, mostly crap, and half crap. We generate more crap than sorties. The MX hours per flying hour are X. The crap that goes along with it is X to the 50+. So much time, paper, electricity, and waste of human time goes into generating useless, no decision making info, crap. I'm out of crap

Someone/DT mentioned I should take the DLAB just like all the other boxes we should check. I left that one empty. I think I'm good to go with my future. Out

It's a CJCS program because of politics. Throw the ol joint chief stamp on there so that everyone thinks its serious. Are there people that want to do this, probably. Are they in avaition, now we're getting to slim pickins. No one likes to work for futility, which is my opinion of this program and region. Send lots of intel and foreign affairs types to this program. Out

A. That is why I love the Packers. You never see the "owner" with lots a camera time during the game. I think its in NFL law that TV must show Jerry Jones every game. B. NLF, take your black eye of taking millions from the gov't in the name of the troops and do something meaningful with it. Oh, please don't produce any cheerleader posters, we can't put those up in the office anymore, SARC and all. C. Brady is a cheater. I mean, really, how can he stand at the mike and say he has no idea how a ball feels. That is like a surgeon saying he doesn't know if his scalpel is good, or Tiger or "pick your pro golpher" saying he has no idea how the club feels, or the race car driver and how the car feels. You're supposed to be a pro at throwing the football, you better damn well know how you want your balls to feel. I know how I want my balls to feel! Beer is out and so am I

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
disgruntledemployee replied to SUX's topic in General Discussion
Do I not look calm to you? I was merely correcting the use of mil friendly from rubber stamp to bonafide when it comes to this outfit. You do like bonafide when it comes to your aviation training, right? I think so since you're about to invest 6x as much. E-mail them and ask for the study materials. It should include stuff like typical systems GK, checklist, light twin specifics, and typical profiles. Out
