  1. When is your enlistment up? Send out a save the date, I can't wait. One more hurdle we won't have to jump over to get the mission done. Cut all this "I'm for the mission" crap, you've already described earlier in this thread you won't flex to help the ops out.
  2. https://www.autotalk.com/audi-autonomous-tts-pikes-peak-4791/ https://www.insideline.com/audi/tts/autonomous-audi-tts-pikes-peak-will-make-high-speed-driverless-test-run.html https://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/13/fully-autonomous-buses-head-for-france/ Troll the troll.
  3. As of 01 Oct, the Nellis club will only be open Wednesday and Friday.
  4. It probably won't make much of a difference, really.
  5. Whether those changes were kept or not, please direct your attention to reference 6.
  6. These stats probably don't exist. I can imagine them pulling up Band Of Brothers, scrolling forward to Moose Heyliger being shot by friendly forces, and saying, "if Moose had been wearing one, it wouldn't have happened."
  7. He ran 1.5 miles in 8:30, and lost 13 points on the waist? I'd have to see it to believe it. Edit: dyslexia
  8. U.S. Judge throws out piracy charges against 6 Somalis who attacked Navy ship
  9. No, I have a Wall Street Journal one though.
  10. ACLU and CCR recently lanuched a legal challenge to the military targeting American al Qaeda members. Awlaki vs. Predator: Other lawyer-types say : "American members of al Qaeda aren't merely criminal suspects. They're active enemy combatants who can be targeted like other terrorists." It's a subscription-restricted article, so here's the text; I thought it was interesting. As for the ACLU, WTF.
  11. Someone else will be dropping weapons off of the pilot's airplane? WTFO?
  12. Preds do, and Hacker shacked the pin in the wing. One on the ball is for the laser.
  13. This has been a topic of discussion before.
  14. Article: Giant Mecca Clock Seeks to Call Time on Greenwich BL: "Scientists" would like the world to start new days based on Arabian Standard Time, to now be defined from the 2000ft clock, instead of GMT( or UTC really, but in either case it resides at 0 Longitude). Here's the real winner: If there were no magnetic variation there (which there is), you might be able to claim the first bolded part, but the lack of magnetic force and lessened effects of gravity are just ridiculous. Edit: A native Saudi who views the clock itself with disdain
  15. Germany Closes Hamburg Mosque Where 9/11 Attackers Met
  16. Must be Fox News, WSJ had a different photo and a seemingly correct caption.
  17. Appears to be a Green Flag going on right now, with Red Flag starting next week. That should provide some entertainment around Nellis. KLSV Flying Operations
  18. I thought they were The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, not the Department of State.
  19. Lower fuel burn would be one reason.
  20. That's when the flag came up; first I'd heard of it. Thanks. The more you know.
  21. Here's an interesting new policy regarding savings accounts from USAA: Unfortunately, this seems to be valid. From Title 12, Part 204 "Regulation D"
  22. ACC A3 said that soon (relative, because it has been said for years) when they reach the 10 crews per cap, that cross flow boards will open up and the ops sqs will start to get much-needed CT lines. The caveat is that the rate of returns to airframes (anyone not out of UPT) is not guaranteed to be very high. The "non-competitive" boards will consider the dude's potential for leadership growth in the UAV community versus in their respective airframe. If you're a Pred superstar, it sounded like they would keep you around to keep experience and leadership in the UAVs. However, he said slacking off won't help your case either. If they deem it will not benefit you to return to your airframe from a career perspective, you are also screwed. Personal preference was stated to be a consideration, but that remains to be seen. Almost everyone. He also mentioned that Creech WG/CC has the option to keep anyone he wants if it is someone they think will be good for the UAV community (see above), but it should be a fairly high percentage. Everyone also has the option to stay...
  23. They should pay you the 95% cost either way. What you claim as expenses should only affect what portion of the 1500 is taxed. You are claiming it cost you 500 to move, so they should tax the 1000 you are making as profit. For your situation then, with that tax rate, you should be getting around 1200.
  24. Police officer's visual estimate of speed is enough for a conviction, Ohio Supreme Court rules Officers in Ohio recently mistook a dead body on the side of the road for a deer, dragging out the search for the missing person, and now we're to trust that they know whether you are going 65 or 60? What next?
