So they could just give up, or... they could live in Gulf Breeze and each drive a little bit, even if it is early. That's probably a better option than telling the guy to live WEST of the base. Just sayin.

Oh we'll make the timeline, even if we have to fly every weekend to do it.

Yes.

Ironically, from a post by Mr. Lumbergh.

You're mom failed 1st grade spelling. No, really. She did.

The reverse flow design certainly helps.

BGE.

IIRC, that was applicable to Reserves. Guard is a different system.

Don't know any details. Nose gear collapsed, ended up in the grass.

Yep. I wasn't in that unit or anything, just thought it'd make a good avatar. Little Rock has had a few planes pushed around over the years, too. Here's higher res and a different angle. I hope the sheetmetal shop got a bonus after cleaning up that mess. edit: I hadn't seen this one before. You can see part of it on the left edge of the pic above.

Don't be so hard on the kid. Everyone knows that my ability to buy an AR-15 in San Antonio is to blame for Mexican criminal gang activity.

I vote no. I don't have a clue about your promotion chances, but I don't think anyone is going to knock you for choosing your family over your career, especially an unpredictable career at that.

Sounds like you've got some insight into their brains that you need to share with the rest of us.

Hey Rainman... I know how you feel about talking to the media. Is it ok if we pose for the Chinese?

The line between cynic and realist is so very fine, isn't it?

Thanks for the info.

Wow. You really are as obnoxious as you seemed in the other threads. The DA-20s (NOT DA-40s as you annoyingly tried to correct me) worked fine for IFT. Sure, more HP is better, but that doesn't mean it was worth the expense. If they were really worried about high altitude performance, they would have bought turbos.

Well damn. I better correct my logbook then, because I logged all those IFT flights as DA-20s.

DA at AFF gets over 10K' many days. And the DA-20 worked just fine there for IFT.

If you own a house in Florida, filed a homestead exemption, and have been deployed in the last year to OEF/OIF/OND, read this: https://srcpa.org/. Florida approved an additional tax exemption on top of your homestead exemption proportional to the days in 2010 deployed. Looks like it'll be every year from now on, too, so keep it in mind next time you get non-vold to Balad. If you're home right now, you should get something in the mail, so this is more for guys that are deployed or instinctively throw anything from the Taxman's office in the shredder. Here's the application. https://srcpa.org/dr501m.pdf

Depends on what you think you'll use your logbook for. Most airlines and similar have a correction factor to account for this. FedEx, for example, adds .2 to each military sortie. So in that case, you'd be better off having the .mil time logged our way. If you won't be applying for a place that uses a correction factor, you might be better off logging the civilian way. I log military flights the military way and civilian flights the civilian way, then I'll add the correction factor if I can or need to. The difference likely won't make or break your application.

Way too easy... edit to add link: https://www.cbsnews.c...n20067242.shtml

Rainman, I think this is the smilie you're looking for:

All they need is another Super Bowl pregame and they can claim "millions." So in the next 12 months, they'll convince 300,000 people that the AF budget crunch must be a joke. Awesome.
