From the WSJ, an interesting look at the much deeper problem regarding our debt. https://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323353204578127374039087636.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop

Solving this problem certainly is due to the complexity of the tax code. Currently, we have 73,608 pages of tax code as of April 12th. Surely, we do not need this many. I figure 71,000, maybe 72,000 max.

While you are considering benefits, for those of you that entered active duty in Texas and served on active duty after 9/11, i.e. Lackland, etc., you may be eligible for benefits under the Hazlewood Act ( https://www.tvc.texas.gov/Hazlewood-Act.aspx ) passed by the State of Texas. It is 150 hours worth of tuition at a state University and can be transferred to your kids.

Add a pregnancy, get them all on the same stage, and we would have a program that would make Jerry Springer jealous.

It's called GPS.

I was enjoying a Sam Adams Whitewater IPA until you mentioned the Sierra Nevada. Suddenly, my beer isn't as cold or as tasty as I would like. Damn.

I worked for a little while tasking units for Operation Noble Eagle, there were, and still are, scenarios that a VID at night or extended range would have been a nice capability to have.

If some idiotic weather/news reporter does not ACTUALLY stand outside, will we believe that the hurricane is not really windy and rainy and they are just making this $hit up?

Did the T38 IP thing a long time ago and had many former Army helo drivers. Never had a complaint, they had their feces co-located and kept the big picture while having a good time. Or at least as good a time as can be had given the situation. Read and heed the advice from previous posters and good luck.

Just like the movie Stripes..........Where's your Army Minister? BLOW'D UP SIR!! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/9630509/North-Korean-army-minister-executed-with-mortar-round.html

Just finished To America: Personal Reflections of an Historian by Stephen Ambrose. It contains his personal stories and opinions about the people he met or studied as he wrote their histories. Some were chance meetings. He was leading a tour of the Normandy beaches and happened to come across an elderly British gentleman. Turns out, this guy was the lead glider pilot flying the troops assigned to take the bridge at Caen. Most of the book is about people he was involved with very heavily. So, lots of stuff about Eisenhower, T. Roosevelt, E Company, Nixon, the Vietnam War, the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima, and the WWII Museum in New Orleans.

Fat girl defensive maneuver....jink, chaff, twinkies

Range fouls still $5?

Yo Japan!! Seriously, WTF?? https://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/09/28/is-becoming-bagel-head-dangerous/?intcmp=features

Good technique. Bullets impacting the target and it might or might not be a kill. Bullets impacting target, it catches fire, and turret comes off, you have yourself a kill. If 50 rounds are good, 100 must be better.

The problem when I was there was a T-38 hitting a deer doing a touch and goes at night. Little blood and fur on the nose gear but, otherwise, no damage. A venison roast was served up by the maintainers and they gave the IP a plaque with a little deer hoof mounted on it. The great deer massacre occurred a short time later.

Columbus had a great deer hunt years ago. After a couple deer were killed by T-38's on night touch and goes, the base game warden organized a deer hunt using every means usually deemed illegal. I think a couple dozen were killed in one night.

And then headed out to sea. The dreaded horizontal flat spin.

I've tasked the Langley guys more than once for ONE so I know they have done it on occasion.
