Oh, the shenanigans that coudl insue...I just PCSed to Barksdale, and like I said in an above post, Tops in Blue is performing here I think tomorrow. Well, I'm in the VOQ for a few days till my apartment is ready, and guess who's staying here too? Yep...those guys. Their gaudy-ass tour bus with it's fake Oscar looking thing on the side is right outside my window. Can we write them up for fraud, waist and abuse for that thing?

Of all the luck...got to Barksdale last night, walked into the O Club and what's one of the first things I see? "Tops in Blue, performing August 15th". FML...

That's better.

"It addresses all near-term Air Warrior requirements". Please do not let any of our higher ups see that document, or I fear they'll have a new favorite phrase for flyers.

2. The esteemed assembly must judge if said chica was worth a fifty-foot plunge into the sea.

Nah, give me the armed crop duster any day! Taildraggers are more fun.

Shoes know how to play crud?

Kinda curious what his story is on going from Marine chopper pilot to Army colonel. Seems like a well-earned retirement, though!

None of this proves if Vegas is hot or not. Until proven otherwise, I will choose to believe she looks like the chick in Hacker's avatar. Stranger things have happened.

I hope this got sent as a joke, because if not, this dimwit needs to be slapped...multiple times. Of course, a colonel claiming to be single handedly responsible for the success of the war in Iraq is not outside the realm of possibility.

"Sorry, the maximum number of viewers for this channel has been reached" WTF? Guess alot of people like Bob Ross!

Double your money...

Randolph guys don't, but when we were cross-country to San Diego, the guys working at the Navy bases did.

Sort of depends on what version of the MC you're talking about. There's a Talon, a Shadow and a Spear. They all do sorta the same thing, low level insertion of spec ops bubbas and chopper refueling, but I know there are some dudes on here who fly those so I'll leave the details to them, lest I fnck it up. As to airframes post P-Cola...depends on what you want to do. If you want to go Mach 2 and pulls Gs and shit, Strike Eagles would probably be a good deal. If you want to haul stuff, kick Army dudes out the back and go literally everywhere, you might go slicks. If you want to drop a shit-ton of ordnance and strike the fear of God into bad guys, you might consider B-52s. Just talk to your instructors when you get down there to get an idea what their life was like. And be sure to ask, just as you did in your question, about the pros AND the cons. And unless you're married, make the decision for you. Don't let anybody else, girlfriend, classmate, whoever, influence your decision. Make it for yourself.

What I find darkly amusing is that the picture used in the article is actually a 737-200.

You've got seven posts on the board, and you're correcting some guy's grammar. Wow, you're gonna go far.

Hope the Air Force agrees with your plan. Or they might tell you STFU and color and get back to your INS and chart. Lots of surface area there!

Further, when's all that going to happen?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but in the situation you're describing, the American flag doesn't have to be higher, just to the left of everything else when looking at it.

Besides, Moostang, you, like me, are gonna be a nav. We'll never touch a Viper or an Eagle, so what's it matter?

Two sets of wings...was he a nav or somethin' before flying F-16s?

Four years (well, probably more like five for most of you) and you dumbass cajuns still can't spell GO right. Enjoy it while it lasts, because your asses are gettin' stomped come football season.

Maybe he's a reservist IP.

This just means the Buff is going to live forever...

All the EW instructors here keep bending our ear with that interchangeable seat stuff, but the instructors navs keep saying no, that's just to get you to track EW. You'd have too many currencies to keep up with to make it a realistic possibility. I've also heard recently the FTU has begun to dual qualify navs right out of the schoolhouse so you have the capability to sit in either seat downstairs. How this will actually play out I'm not sure, but that's what I've been told.
