Everyone can agree on lesbo scenes. I didn't see true grit personally but have heard quite a few of my friends/family enjoyed it. 95% on rottentomatoes.com means it has to be at least pretty good.

Mila Kunis is a smokin' hottie and Natalie Portman ain't bad either. Great clip of another Mila lesbo scene: Mila: "I'm not into girls. I just like my pussy licked and you like to lick. That's our dynamic, no more, no less."

Initially I was just clarifying what someone else has posted, now I'm curious though. Help me understand b/c my perspective is limited & I have no knowledge of how a fighter squardon, WIC, etc. function. From what I've seen in my squadron, both evaluators and instructors fly a lot of IP lines, teaching dudes on a daily basis. Evals also to checkrides and etc., generally flying even more lines than the average IP. Sometimes it's a mixed load, doing IP duties for, say, an aircraft commander upgrade ride as well as EP duties for an IP upgrade ride on the second 1/2 of the sortie. For CSOs, EN is even more clearly a step above of IN because as an IN that's still assigned to the operation squadron (versus the FTU squadron) you rarely do instructing in the airplane because of weight/space considerations; as an EN you can ride in the back and conduct CSO checkrides in addition to being able to do ground/sim training typically done by the IN corps. So, with that setup, why would you not make an instructor an evaluator when he's ready? If they still primarily fly/teach as IPs with occasional EP duty, what's the downside? We only need a few EPs to run stan/eval, an the rest are spread out in the other shops & at the group/wing, etc.

I.E.: Would not your most experienced, proficient, and knowledgeable instructors become evaluators and therefore run stan/eval? I think you guys misunderstood each other. Is my summation of your previous correct Crew? In my extremely limited experience (i.e. my current sq) the stan/eval guys are all above-average aviators however they are not necessarily the very best and brightest simply because there are talented guys in other shops/positions for career considerations and likewise there are dudes that are SEFEs because that is a box they need to check to progress. As a young dude the guys I look up to are the instructors/evaluators who are out there beating up the pattern at home as well as flying the line downrange on a very regular basis who most effectively pour their knowledge into every dude they fly with (sts). What shop you work in doesn't really factor into that.

Haha, yea man, sooo jealous /sarcasm. I've seriously thought about buying a regular guy tab and seeing how long it took someone to notice...

I knew there was supposed to be a patch but had never heard of anyone offering them, seeing them, or speaking of them in the real world. Thank god they changed it b/c why the F would I want to wear some kind of boy scout merit badge on my reflective shorts?

Cylon technology...sign me up!

Baby wipes were the #1 thing I was glad I brought. Went during 8 feet of snow, temps at ~0 degrees, etc., but you'll be glad you had them when you're explosively shitting all over eastern washington 4-5x per day. YMMV on that problem but it's better safe than sorry. Keep em on your body and GTG.

Dude, I just discovered this via one of my buds...freaking genius.

Read my post right above you? Movie was worth it.

Saw tron on a whim...I didn't ever really know what tron's deal was back in the 80s but the new one looked cool, was fairly epic, and had a sweet soundtrack. Plus Olivia Wilde looked all futuristic and hot. Worth a matinee ticket or DVD rental for sure. It definitely exceeded my non-existent expectations.

I disagree unless you are a technology maven. If you can inherently "get" new and emerging technologies, intimately understand how they work with no manuals or training, and like to troubleshoot sh*t that's not working right, then by all means you are correct. If you are not that however, it's best not to base your decision off of notions of being on the cutting edge. It's only frustrating. All that being said, preds are a fairly mature technology so it's by the book at this point. So to speak...

Thanks for the info gents...f*cking losing out on $108 a month that I was thinking in my head I'd get but whatever.

Sucks man. The 2011 rate for O-3 is now $3 lower than the 2009 rate for O-2. So in two years time your bump from an increase in rank is wiped out. I think I know the answer but just to check...you continue to get BAH rates from the year you got on station (if rates are decreasing) even after moving up in rank, correct? So for instance I got to my base in 2009 so I would get the 2009 rate for my new rank rather than the 2011 rate, which would be a net loss of money since they've gone down so much in 2 years. Just checking...

Uhh, yes. It's doesn't really sound any gayer than EWO or WSO once you get used to it and there's really no other option. To the future!

I'd say depends on how you look at it. We've all been "CSOs" for a couple years now, but I'm not familiar with how long the dual-seat qual in the Buff has gone on. In terms of "how is the new product from P-cola doing?" question, flyingbull is right that they don't exist yet b/c they haven't graduated. In terms of "how are young dual-seaters in the buff doing?" question, I have no idea and differ to someone in that community. My platform has both navs/ewos sitting a common CSO seat and honestly I don't think there's really a difference between who does better or whatever. I don't even know if people were nav or ewo (either from nav school or another platform) and the pilots I've talked to don't seem to know or care either. BL: "CSO" as a concept works for us at least.

That's what I'm talking about...there are smart ways to make this a better deal for those who actually deserve it. On another note, the President's deficit commission (Bowles-Simpson) released it's full report today. Enjoy.

While it's cool in theory to "be in at the ground level," there is associated ass-pain that goes with trying to make sh*t work for the first time and to do that in a combat situation. Pluses and minuses for sure but it's not generally something worth getting stuck in a black-hole career field if you have aspirations of doing other things.

Cause I want my damn money man! I'm sure they don't need it for retention, but those ABM homos get one and I'm jealous...

Sh*t man, where's the nav bonus? Only rated field without one right now as far as I know...not sure if it would change my mind when decision time rolls around but it certainly wouldn't hurt retention.

Yea, that to me was the most epic one in recent memory...

Yes, follow matmacwc's link. It works hit or miss for webmail but is near 100% for portal stuff.

I said "if" TCU won, which I would definitely not put money on. Both Auburn and Oregon are good teams and deserve to play for the Championship. However, TCU can say the same and they did all they could have done by going undefeated. I just hate the system for creating controversies where a team gets left out here or there almost every single year. Auburn fans should be with me here I'm pretty sure based on 2004. You know why the champion in other sports is never a controversy (other than possible bad calls by referees)? Because this kind of sh*t is settled on the field in a playoff or tournament of some kind. If the NFL were the NCAA, the Patriots would have been the Super Bowl champions in 2007-2008...

I definitely respect the SEC...some of their fans are heinous but that's across the board. Their conference produces winners and you have to respect winners. That's why I want a non-automatic qualifying team to beat the SEC champion, because the SEC champion is almost universally looked upon as one of if the the best team out there, and I want someone from a smaller conference to beat them and make the system come crashing down upon itself. If BSU beat the Big 10 champ, everyone would just say "well the big 10 chokes anyways" which is somewhat true. The SEC is, for the most part, a bunch of winners and I want the system to die in the most dramatic way possible. How is this germane to being good at football? I want athletes to graduate and respect schools that graduate smart kids, but I still respect schools that attract dumb athletic-freaks who go to the NFL 1-2 years later because they're good at what they're setting out to do, win football games. Like when they played #6 Virginia Tech on September 6th and #24 Oregon State on September 24th? Sounds like a couple of ranked teams in one month. I get what you're saying, their strength of schedule isn't their best quality, but all you can do is beat the teams you play, it's up to school administrators, conference executives, etc. to determine what conference your school is in and what non-conference teams you play. I think they get respect for moving to a harder conference next year. Ok, not an "automatic" bid. The game is still traditionally Big 10 vs Pac 10, but if one of those champs goes to the BCS championship game then it's possible for other teams to get there (i.e. like in 2003 or 2005). If neither the Big 10 or Pac 10 champs are going to the BCS championship game however, they will always play in the rose bowl from my understanding, which is what I meant by "automatic."
