You think it was a RA or a TA? The only thing I've ever got a TA on (or in) was a bug smasher, so I can't really claim to know much about part 121 or vipers (I'm no Tim Martin), but this story stinks...

"that they triggered a cockpit alarm"... TCAS said "Traffic" because they were within the 6nm circle? I'd like to hear the tapes.

STS I've personally never gotten that excited over a poll.... oh wait, that one victoria secret poll was pretty good.

"Cheesy bird joke"

Popping my popcorn now. Here's the variants of the answer's you'll prolly get: 1.) Be an officer first 2.) UTFSF SNAP 3.) Somebody will quote the part about "I won't risk a pilot slot over it" From me: Go ROTC. If you put a lot in, you'll get a lot out (sts).

The most myopic, SNAP post I'll prolly ever post: Why exactly are Air Force Refueling squadrons having to bill Air Force Fighter/Bomber/Whatever Receivers? I mean.... it's not like I can AR in my 172.... so not a lot of chances for somebody not on the same team to 'steal' the gas... So big picture-wise, how is it worth the extra asspain (shitty computer system to keep up, 69000 spreadsheets and databases, hours of extra time spent by the crews to track it all)?

"The devil's gonna shove his pitchfork up your a$$ with a rotten pineapple".... doesn't even come close to what should be done to these idiots that can't handle driving a f'n car.

2 on the liberal propaganda.

Awesome! Although I think the qualities you have displayed on this board may keep you from retaining "shoe clerk" status.

Comparing the recent posts to the other 90 pages, I'm beginning to suspect that the Deid switched over to AETC, and forgot to tell everybody...

Fortunately they did away with the sports @ FT, but they probably got rid of it because the fat kids felt like they were being singled out. Here's a point of order, don't be a fatass!

This line: It has calcified from the risk-taking organization it was in its youth into a rigid bureaucracy in which more emphasis is placed on process than it is on mission accomplishment. really hit home with me. I'm just a ROTC puke, but that line pisses me off. During FT, we did a lot of time at the Leadership Reaction Course (might be familiar from SOS and ASBC for you AD guys that didn't do FT there)... anyways, it was made extremely clear that out of 100 points, mission accomplishment was only 3 points! I can't tell you how many times I heard "It's not mission accomplishment, it's the process you use".... copy, so as long as I followed the checklist, it doesn't matter if I make it back from my next long XC? Shit, next time I land in Key West, I'm just staying there... hey, I followed the checklist! I mean, don't get me wrong, I get that the idea was to get us into a process for solving problems, but how many people do you figure left FT brainwashed to believe that mission accomplishment < coloring within the lines? And how many of them are gonna end up in some squadron where they won't get slapped around for being dumb, and then they progress up the ranks and now... Mission Accomplishment does not matter if you didn't follow our path to get there.... I'm young, and dumb, and you know the rest.... but still, from the bottom looking up, this kinda stuff doesn't seem right.... //rant off

well played.

Is this "Son-of Reflective Belt" guy on facebook legit? Or some kind of spy sent to destroy us all? Just wondering... the crackhead tried to "friend" me... like I know who the f#ck you are or something.... ya know I could even get into a long pet-peeve story about people that do that, but I won't.

2 We don't need her type reproducing.

I learned something today.... I've always said POT-a-ble....

ECHO...ECHo...ECho...Echo...echo.

Ride her hard and put her up wet.

Doesn't that violate the "don't ask" part of "Don't ask, Don't tell"

Windows mobile is where it's at, if you're geek enough to use non-standard firmware/software... If you want an out of the container solution, I hate to admit it, but iphone will prolly do it for you, although I have a few bros that use the droid, and they swear it's awesome.... just sayin... if there's a chance to save you from switching to the dark side...

Old crow.... Teach me your ways... Where do you build such amazing gif's?

Interesting... I will be reading Sierra Hotel on my flight Thursday. Looks like a good (free) read...
