This is literally the last thing in the world to get spun up about. I'd rather him support Roe v Wade and ###### up a couple salutes then the other way around. edit: oh yeah, I went there

I upgraded from a 2002 to a 2011 F-150 4x4 XLT. I routinely haul a race motorcycle and my equipment with me to tracks. Pros: - 5.0 has a lot of power, cruise just under 80 for hours and get 15.5 MPG. 80-85+ you can tell that it is not shaped like a Corvette. - Cabin noise is pretty silent - 15.2 MPG commuting to base on 87 octane. EcoBoost requires 91/93. - The digital dash has a cool flat panel screen that gives you neat info about your truck (mpg, servicing, truck climb/roll angle, front wheel deflection.) - Every part of it feels like it is built like a tank - Turning radius is significantly better than my 2002. - 36 gallon tank is awesome - Brakes are awesome. - No issues with the tailgate supporting myself, a 400lb bike, and ramp weight. Cons: - It's too f'n big. I wanted a Tacoma but they're nearly the same size, and haven't been updated since 2005. - Blind spots. The improved side mirrors help, but the rear seats are set up so that the headrests block the corners of the truck when looking behind to back up. - Nitpicky, but because everything is bigger, it takes two hands to put on the seat belt as opposed to one motion in my older truck. Pedantic, but annoying. - Stereo was lesser quality then the Dodge Ram 1500 rental I had. The dot matrix 2 line radio screen looks a bit hokey compared to the sweet LCD in my dash. - The MPG it calculates is exactly .5 MPH too generous every fill up. - It's too f'n big. Bring back the Ford Ranger. - With the Ford OEM bedliner, the hooks are set into the plastic so they are a pain to get tie downs on - With a 36 gallon tank, most pumps automatically shut off at $95/$100 so you have to do two transactions every fill up. - The center bench seat is awkwardly big when down, yet awkwardly flat to sit in when up. Also, the headrest blocks your rear view. If I had to do it again, I'd definitely buy the truck, but get one with a backup camera. I'd also wait for the 2015 F-150s coming out here soon.. They have all new engine options and a potential game changer of an all aluminum body that gives dramatic weight savings.

It would cut the disability claims for MX engine troops and crew chiefs...

Same!

Well, you could just turn down the training, not get whatever upgrade it is, and carry on living your life, but it seems that is not the case.

Does refusing to sign force you to separate at the end of your ADSC?

Digging the new Skywalker X-33. Anyone know what the squadron order price was before?

edit: nevermind

AFPC assigns a drop per base in an excel spreadsheet. Flight Commanders then have a trade day set up where they trade assignments according to rank in the class, if at all. How each check ride score is computed is irrelevant, as long as it's the same for everyone in your class. The only thing that matters is a class ranking, IE they will trade for what a #1 guy wants, unless another #1 guy wants the same thing.

I am 7 classes complete of a 10 class program I never wanted in the first place. Bah.

They do because the club doesn't charge for the venue, setup, projector/sound system checking, and tear down when everyone is inebriated. Students are free to go whereever, but paying $18/pizza when everything else is free doesn't look that bad when you explain that they will be responsible for everything for setup AND tear down at the end of the night.

That logic is not nearly sensational enough.

Does Altus have a X Against Drunk Driving hotline for Friday/Weekend afternoon/nights?

heehee...

I feel so bad for posting this... https://www.cc.com/video-clips/ac9kui/inside-amy-schumer-a-very-realistic-military-game

Unless the groom/bride was in a mess dress, I wouldn't wear it. It's attention whoring and who wants to wear that thing anyways?

Do: Be proactive with your flight commander (inform them of who is going to expire on fitness tests, who has personal events going on (weddings, child birth, O-6+/E-9 visits etc), important dates Spread all info you get to the rest of your flight mates, no matter how irrelevant Keep the stupidity out of the cadre's sights ("i want to take leave because my family does vacation every year") Make sure everyone shows up on time with the correct UOD/patches Don't: Release your classmates or guarantee time off Let them have a formal wedding during UPT Play the secrets game Quibble/complain about stupid crap--formal release and EPQs have been around since before you were alive, they aren't going away Make requests to the scheduler SROs fall into laissez faire/just another student to proactive and useful. It can be a pain to be the SRO in addition to all the other UPT requirements, but it will help you overall WRT class ranking (unless you suck at it.) Good luck!

...why multi cams?

Do they have updated numbers anywhere, or just the blue/red box matrix?

Thank you for your valuable contribution to this specific RC-135 thread, Mr. One-Upper.
