    D*mned Hippies!!!!

    F*cking anti-war protest might f*ck up my unit visit I had planned for this weekend!!!!!!!! A wasted trip just because some pot-smoking hippies have nothing better to do with their time!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I felt the need to vent for a second. By the way, I think the story about the Captain who...

    Website to send emails to troops...

    I know there is a website out there that allows you to send messages to our troops, does anyone know the address? I realize that they will be busy in the next few days, but I thought I could try to shoot a last minute message.

    ANG Unit Visit

    I want to visit a guard unit that I sent a package to next month. The point of contact that they had on the announcement was for a recruiter. I have conversed with the recruiter to get the announcement and confirm that the packet arrived, and also about the best time to visit. The recruiter...

    Airplane Parts...

    Does anyone know who makes a rudder cap for a 1967 Cessna 150 G? Texas AeroPlastics does not make one for that model.

    Dassault Falcon

    I was watching Discovery Wings last night and they had "Wings Over France". Normally I would turn it because I'm not interested in how fast a frog fighter can run from the enemy.;) It was on the Falcon jet. That is IMHO the second coolest line of biz jets in the world (Gulfstream #1). I...

    I can't seem to let this one go...

    Jeez, I've posted on this subject alot.... Just one more question though. All my letters of rec are addressed to the Air Force Reserve Pilot Selection Board. Do I need to get fresh letters of rec that are addressed towards the guard? That may be a stupid question, but I just hope you...

    flying qualifications...

    So I'm sitting here putting a package together for a guard unit (which I am visiting next month thanks to many, many suggestions from this board) and for they require a breakdown of flight time and flying qualifications, awards, certificates and such. Since I am just a lowly low-time PPSEL...

    Nightclubs pose a threat to Americans...

    These night club disasters are a threat to the well-being of Americans everywhere. I for one call on Congress to pass a law making gatherings of more than 3 unrelated people illegal. Also part of this legislation should include makeing it legal to place surveillance cameras every 15 feet in...

    Corporate from Military

    Do many guys that are/were military (USAF) go for corporate jobs? What kind of min qualifications do you need for an entry level corporate job? I am trying to get a gig with the USAFReserve/ANG right now, and the prospect of corporate flying afterwards seems very interesting. Any comments?

    Letters of Recommendation Again...

    OK, I just heard from a recruiter from an ANG unit. He said the following as far as how to be most successfull: "I encourage you to consider excellent recommendations from prominent people. The best angle for selection is a relationship with the ANG." What would be defined as a "prominent...

    Why doesn't Gulfstream...

    The airplane manufacturer, not the airline!! Why doesn't Gulfstream make a regional jet? They could modify the basic design a little and sell some airplanes. They would have to be better than those Bombardier and Embraer junkers. Maybe it's not feasible, but I thought it would be an...

    What about Navs?

    All you Air Force Navs out there, I have a couple of questions. Did you enjoy your time as a Nav? Did you find the job fulfilling? Would you do it again? Just curious, because I still want to serve even if I should get DQ'd because of eyesight.

    Marines stuck; Draft?

    That draft stuff is retarded, those two legislators are retarded, the premise for such a proposal is retarded. Enough Said. In short, I think the whole thing is retarded.

    Defining "Local"

    What exactly does it mean to be "local" in terms of applying to ANG/AFRES units? Same city? Same state? Certain distance? I just want to be informed so I don't shoot my mouth off.

    Updating the PCSM?

    Just a quick question: I hit that magical 41 hours. :p I wanted to update my PCSM in the future (before I send out packages), and I have looked at the PCSM website that the AETC has. Do I need to go through a recruiter or other contact to update my hours and subsequent PCSM?

    SUPT Package

    When you send your package to an AFRES/ANG unit, do you need origional copies of your letters of recommendation or can you send a non-origional?

    College Station, TX

    Howdy, I went on my first solo cross country today (just got back) to CLL (College Station). It was "Tweet city" there today!! I assume that the tweets were out of Laughlin. Who uses the call signs "Rasta 5x"? I was just wondering. If anything got me motivated to get my liscense in the...

    CRJ ?'s

    I just was flying on a CRJ this last weekend and I have two questions. Why are the flaps at what looks like 8 deg's during taxi to the gate and while parked and through taxi and takeoff? Why did the FA ask that the window shades be left open during taxi, takeoff, and landing? Thnacks.
