  1. Recent article by Gen Schwartz about this crew. https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/homeland-security/228991-give-gratitude-to-next-greatest-generation
  2. Holy shit. Thank you so much for bringing back this classic memory.
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDG4TFInQRI&feature=youtube_gdata_player Parents stick child in washing machine and it turns on accidentally.
  4. I'm sure posting 69 times a day with all the young guys pissing and moaning about reflective belts and masters makes the transition much easier. [/sarcasm]
  5. I really hope the employer comes out and says "I was just trying to be nice. The real reason I fired her is because she was terrible at her job".
  6. Perceptually, this is right on. And perception is reality. I think every community has been getting driven into the ground. Look at the TDY rates for MAF bubbas and they're gone like 250+ days a year. AFSOC is gone all the time. But (once again with the perception thing), they aren't putting out these letters and perpetuating the whiny, kid in the corner stomping his feet stereotype that fighter guys are doing. I know that wasn't the authors intent, but it's how people are viewing it. I (personally) know we need more dedicated air superiority assets. We need more money/better training for evolving threats at the tactical level. There's a myriad of things we need to maintain the level of dominance we've had in the past, but the biggest threat we have is budgetary issues. And the nearest rock for the budget folks is their constituency demanding to see a black number instead of a red one at the bottom of the sheet - combat capability be damned.
  7. Will Smith slaps a reporter who tries to kiss him at the Moscow premier of "Men In Black 3". That kind of behavior could end up with him moving in with his auntie and uncle in Bel Aire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psOzvTVQ3xo
  8. You just took grammar hammering to a new level.
  9. Kadena Eagles are sitting alert for the Raptors as we speak.
  10. That is Snooze's (Dos Gringos singer) HUD tape, if I'm not mistaken. Isn't there another one of these floating around (no pun intended) with a Strike Eagle WSO doing the same thing?
  11. Do a heritage flyby https://69.199.231.171/wiki/index.php/Supersonic_F-105_Flyby
  12. I remember several North Dakota schools at a high school wrestling tournament named the "Demons", "Red Devils", "Devils", "Black Devils", and my personal favorite, the "Devils Lake Satans". But ND is the first circle of hell anyway, so it all made sense.
  13. Saw this linked on the msn homepage. This is why our country is getting shittier. https://moms.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/10/11640864-times-breast-feeding-toddler-cover-spurs-shock-talk?lite%2F#star13
  14. Like Brabus said, similar names but different systems. Many airplanes use OBOGS type systems now, but exchanging them 1 for 1 isn't really doable. I suspect (as with everything on the Raptor), the cost of revamping over to LOX or to a different OBOGS or anything like that would be astronomical.
  15. I think no Patrick Swayze leading the US to victory is going to be the biggest problem.
  16. Surprised the Egg's were able to get away from the corn and coffee long enough to contribute. Good on 'em!
  17. 800 Pound woman gets fitted for off-white wedding dress (so the stains won't be so bad when she spills on it). https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/07/800-pound-bride-susanne-eman_n_1498377.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003
  18. Valid points.
  19. I went to "The Avengers" last night. It was probably the most entertaining movie I've ever seen. Definitely recommend seeing it.
  20. The crews flying them are irreplaceable national assests. You can go to DM, knock the cob webs out of an old Lawn Dart/Strike Eagle/whatever, and have a new jet on the ramp in about a week. (I realize I'm trivializing the process of replacing jets, but I know you get the point).
  21. First comment to that video on CBS News site. Hahaha classic. Moustache millenium lives on!
  22. By that definition, I've seen plenty of combat driving on and off of Maxwell during PME. (Just being a smart ass, I'm interested to see some replies here)
  23. I agree with the ground pounders on this one.
  24. Seriously, WTF is going on with losing all these jets?! I could give two shits about the airplanes if the crews are okay, but wtf.
  25. Reminds me of this old classic.
