  1. So one question? Can we take our families with us to Korea if we get sent there? Or are those still just a 365? So why don't we just make those PCS locals as well since there is no danger what so ever I Korea but we have known threats in that aor. There is just so many reasons why this is a bad idea. I wonder how many divorces this will create because of this locale. Hell I think Cannon just got upgraded from one of the worst locale's to not so bad anymore.
  2. A Big old 2 on that. I'm going through it now and it's not that hard at all. so far the worst I have had to do is 3 total papers for one of the classes, 2 900 word essay's and the 1800 word final. Plus if your a WIC capt you only have to do 7 classes and your done. How quickly can I get this done? - If you don't take any time off between classes its about 1.5 years. It's 11 8 week classes and the last 2 classes are for your final research paper anyway. So your only looking at 9 real classes plus the 2 for the final research paper. How difficult/time consuming is the work? It depends on the amount of reading you have to do for each lesson. But it only takes about 10-12 hours a week tops. I plan to start the lesson on Mon and be finished with all the reading and have my discussion topic posted by Thurs night. With my two reply's by mid sat to sun if I am waiting on more post for that week. Do they give credit for SOS, instructor school, etc.? I wish but no. It's only 9 real classes so it's not that bad. Plus you have to have some form of SOS complete anyway to be even able to apply and be in the 6th year of the AF anyway. Hope that helps.

    M2 that awesome that you actually found one let alone take it home with you. Looking forward to the range report on this one.
  4. Looks like the Joe isn't safe for the Wings anymore. It's about time the Preds figured out how to score on the power play finally. On another note did anybody happen to catch the boxing match in Philly today? I was hoping to see a hockey game but saw a great fight instead. Looks like Philly is going to finish Pittsburgh in 4.
  5. It should be Rooting for the Red Wings in Smashville is unsat. I just hope the rest if the series is better than tonights game. Way to many penalties by the Preds. But hey they have to help the old guys out some how. Looking forward to being at game 2 on Fri. God bless being on casual some times. I say it's going to be the Preds in 6. I caught part of the Pens vs. Flyers game and that was a good game. That's going to be another good series as well.
  6. I read his Biography and it was very interesting to see what he did after his time of service. Here's to Buck you will be missed. Thanks for all you did for this country.
  7. What fod check? I think he's talking about the chase car just flying onto the runway. Still cool though.
  8. So does this only apply to people PCS'ing to and from the Pacific region? I love my dog just like everybody else but thats just nuts charging that much to ship your pet. Guess that United is just trying to make as much money as they can on the customer. Let's just see how this turns out for everybody out there. On another not did anybody have any major issues shipping their pets over to Germany recently ?
  9. Anybody get the new update yet with pleasant acres? A fun little urban neighborhood setting, to bad you can't level the houses with the bigger guns. Over all I would say it's a nice edition to the game.
  10. Is that just for the legacy or the J school house or both? So they have to be good through your grad date? That's just great got to love it if you have to do them all over again.
  11. Update is awesome. On a side note, having to start from scratch with the new iPhone wasn't cool. But at least this game is a good time killer.
  12. Corpus 11-37 Drop MC-130P/H to Hurlburt they don't know till some time in LR on that one MC-130H Hurlburt J to Ramstein - Me Slick's to Peterson Yokota Cheyenne J to Little Rock Slick's to Little Rock Pope J to Dyess Overall not a bad drop for the size of the class.

    Well I spent my day off by going out to the range and shooting my 1911, XD-45, and my Bersa 380. Shot about 60 rounds through the 1911, 90 or so with the XD, and 50 with Bersa. I hadn't shot my XD in a while since I got my 1911 in, but once I got my finger under control it was a blast as always to hit what ever I wanted it to. Now the 1911 I was having some issues of pulling it down before today but I was able to correct that and its a nail driver now that I fixed the operator issue. Its a lot more accurate that I will ever be with it. The Bersa is a great little gun, especially for what I paid for it 6 years ago. It's my main summer carry gun down here in Tx. Here's a shot of one of the targets. I know there's a few fliers but those were from 21 yards out.
  14. I guess some of you haven't been to the abortion of a thing that they call the BX at DLF have you? I was told its fairly new to. It was easier to just drive the 15 mins across town to fight the Mexicans at wally world than shop at that place.
  15. That does not surprise me at all coming from that base. To bad the next wing/cc there wont be any better. I would love to see those puke green shirts though.
  16. Yes this sucks about us getting out shoe'd. Cause I for one will miss my black boots, black t-shirt's, and my "moral shirts" that they say we can't wear anymore. Here's a thought and I'm going out on a limb here with all the free time that us flyers have, why don't we all just submit request in to the uniform board about bringing them back? Seems like the shoe's submit some pretty dumb ideas to them anyway. Why not try and get back our heritage or what ever new buzz word is for it these days?
  17. I know in my old class at XL we had 2 guys who had turned 30 while in UPT. They were both prior E's.

    Besides posting the required pic of said fiancee, I would go look at the Ruger 10/22. Great gun and a blast to shoot.

    Thanks. No I didn't get it off their LEO site. They didn't have any on there at all or else I would have. It's still cheaper than buying from the local gun store. It did come with the loaded coupon so I might use it to buy a few more mags from SA, to bad I can't get some XD one's with it though. If not mags from SA then what is a good aftermarket mag?

    I just picked up my Loaded Springfield 1911 this afternoon that I ordered from Budsgunshop.com. Sorry for the crappy pic but I just snapped a quick one with the phone. I will post up a better one once I get it cleaned and taken to the range this weekend.
  21. Have him look at USAA. I know that they don't insure them in the states, but I'm pretty sure that my buddy used them over there for his bike.
  22. XL 11-15 Track Toners - 16 (2 Guard, 2 Reserve) T-38's - 8 (1 Reserve) T-44's - 3 (2 Guard/Reserve) UH-1's - 1
  23. Please Tell me that this happened on the AETC side of the house?
  24. "2" as well. Thanks you have taught us well so that we now know more than we used to. It has been well worth it. Thanks, now only if you could be cloned and sent to all the bases to help out that would be great.
