    Gun Talk

    Just bought a Taurus PT745 Compact .45 for ccw. I plan on getting an ITP and tuckable holster. Any opinion on it?
  2. They already upgraded some of the pilot alts to pilot and released ENJJPT. I haven't heard anything about the nav alts moving up and cadre doesn't know. Anyone upgrade to nav or know anyone who has for FY11?
  3. I'm from Columbus and know exactly where you're talking about. Probably best for everyone that you didn't mouth off back to him.
  4. !FDC 0/7931 ZAN AK.. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS TALKEETNA, AK. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. PURSUANT TO 14 CFR SECTION 91.137(A)(1) TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE IN EFFECT FOR AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT ONLY RELIEF AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS UNDER DIRECTION OF USAF, CAPT COYLE ARE AUTHORIZED IN THE AIRSPACE AT AND BELOW 10000 FEET MSL WITHIN A 20 NAUTICAL MILE RADIUS OF 625500N/1474900W OR THE TALKEETNA /TKA/ VOR/DME 41 DEGREE RADIAL AT 73.5 NAUTICAL MILES USAF, CAPT COYLE TELEPHONE 907-552-7543 IS IN CHARGE OF ON SCENE EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTIVITY. ANCHORAGE /ZAN/ ARTCC TELEPHONE 907-269-1103 IS THE FAA COORDINATION FACILITY. Kinda narrows down the location some.
  5. So any status on this and when it might be fixed? Bad memory maybe?
  6. Same happened to me. 2.6 CGPA and 3.4 School GPA. I think it cost me a pilot slot
  7. What about summer classes? I'm taking 2 really tough courses now and am hoping for a D in both, but have done well in every other class.
  8. I know I only have GA experience, but approach clearances. When a controller rattles off a long clearance and tacks other instruction on there like circling and missed instructions, it can be confusing especially when it's something other than expected.
  9. In honor of some awesome "chemtrails"!
  10. Opinions of Lajes?
  11. Ok, so international looks like where it's at being single, but what if I want to meet girls(I'm 24 and not getting any younger)? I know you're going to laugh at that, but where I am, there are almost nil girls (and the ones we have are unsat). Cali maybe?
  12. I just had my AFSC drop and although I received 38F1 (Force Support Officer ), I have a lot of bases to choose from. There are very few bases that I can't be assigned to, so with that what are the best bases for a single Lt to be assigned to? Not that it matters what I request anyways... I was thinking in this order: Hickam (long shot?) Vandenburg Travis Charleston Aviono Incirlik
  13. I think we should make a poll on how many people voted in the other polls.

    USAA

    Anyone know the difference between the USAA Career Starter loan and the Pre-Commissioning loan and who qualifies for each? If you google the starter loan, it comes up as $30,000 at 1.99% and the pre-commissioning loan comes up as $25,000 at 4.99%. I'm in ROTC and am thinking about the loan to invest, but don't know if it's worth investing at 4.99%.
  15. Thanks for all the great info! I'm going to keep trying to get to UPT till I get too old. I should have 3 chances for AD boards before I reach the age limit. I want to try airfield ops so that I can get ATC experience in case I want to go FAA ATC after the AF. Anyways, good info on the clubs. I might try to get involved at the NAS Jax club if they have good prices before I go AD. Hopefully wherever I'm stationed has a club, and if not a local flight school.
  16. I just got passed up in ROTC for a rated slot, so I won't be flying in the AF unless they pull me from the alt list; I'm not counting on it. Anyways, I want to fly for a career once I get out of the AF and as of now have ASEL Comm and CFI, working on CFI-I and AMEL Comm. Not only do I want to fly while on AD, but I want to instruct and build hours. I have several questions that I will put below. Assuming there is an aeroclub on base, would I be allowed to instruct on the side? If none on base, how about instructing off base? What are the clubs normally like? What kinds of a/c do they usually have? Just light singles or twins too? Would I even be able to work there, or is it normally old guys who have been around forever and won't leave? Would most LTs even have time to instruct due to workload?
