  1. It is a good machine. Not quite as heavy duty as the $1000+ theater units, but not bad at all for home use. I tried numerous other methods, but nothing but this really worked. Just made my first batch of infidel corn. It's good. Really good. Now my house smells like bacon and jalapenos.
  2. One year, my wife got me a popcorn machine from Amazon for father's day. Is was <$200. Now my kids are all addicted to jalapeno corn and can even make it themselves. Our home recipe is simple: 1/4 solo cup corn oil and 1/4 solo cup jalapenos, cook until the sound drops off in volume (indicates the water in the jalapeno slices has cooked off), add 1 full solo cup of kernels, pop 'em all, add a generous amount of sea salt to taste. That's it, and it beats the stuff the Lt's make at work - their corn always has too much oil which makes it tough and chewy. Edited to add: here's my home machine.
  3. C-5 lost pressure over Atlantic. Diverted safely.
  4. Half-way through now. He's a good writer and it's fascinating to see behind the curtain.
  5. Looks like there may be an opening for a Reservist Major at MacDill... In all seriousness though, this is exactly the kind of press the AF doesn't need right now. link
  6. Good info. Discussion is in the
  7. Late 80's? That puts him flying fighters in which conflicts: Korea, Vietnam, possibly even WWII? I'm sure his stories were a real snoozefest for anyone not interested in our heritage of aerial warfare. You're probably right that one of his precious few remaining hours was wasted.
  8. 1. Watch a couple of high-rated TED talks and model your presentation (obviously not content) off of them. 2. Limit yourself to 15 minutes. (edited to add: don't necessarily use 15 minutes, but it's a good benchmark for attention spans. Make it long enough to give them the honor, respect, and dignity they deserve and not one second longer) 3. Make it personal to the graduates with a focus on their next assignment. 4. Include a well-told story with a situation that each graduate could picture themselves in (and later tell their parents "that could be me in a few months") 5. If you find yourself wandering, stop talking, pause, thank them and their families for their choice to serve with all the associated sacrifice, and sit down.

    Thanks a lot, I felt like my wallet was about $2000 too heavy.
  11. Everything you want to know about TERA is here. It's authorized by Congress until Dec 2018 as a tool to be used at the discretion of the service chiefs.
  12. SECDEF orders review of nuclear arsenal. Results due in 60 days.
  13. I need the same info.
  14. Interestingly enough, squadron colored Friday shirts are authorized in both flight suit and ABU.
  15. Shoes of any color = approved without restriction Cell Phones of any color (not worn on a belt) = approved without restriction Friday Shirt = Squadron CC approves Morale Tab = Wear not restricted, but Squadron CC approves which ones Friday Patch = Wing CC approves wear, but Squadron CC approves which ones
  16. This thread made my morning.
  17. Unbelievable, yet so believable. There are some excellent gems in that article. Although the writer doesn't understand our culture, he makes some great points about the drawbacks of PCS churn. Also, probably belongs in this
  18. Why did you choose CFA over CFP? Having been down the path, what are your thoughts on Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC)? I ask because I've been considering a similar path.
  19. I'd highly recommend anyone interested/vulnerable to these programs read up on the applicable portions of Title 10 and NDAA 2013/2014. It's starting to seem that the folks planning this over at A1/AFPC haven't.
  20. Your post doesn't make much sense. Are you already at Creech, or are you just assuming you'll be opposite days/shifts?
  21. 37 under investigation now. link
