    A Hero Disgraced

    Boorda's awards were legit; very tragic that he ended up committing suicide.

    F-117: 2 Year Life Expectancy

    Not only are there Gunships in each AOR (Afghan/Iraq), but there's an additional 14 U-boats being manufactured. Besides, in my short career, I've never met an F-16 pilot who thought of CAS as a "minor" and "disgusting" mission. Most take pride in being able to provide dudes on the ground the...

    Massive Air Force reduction

    The lesson's learned with A-10s scud-hunting in the first Gulf War perfectly illustrates Duece130's point.

    Massive Air Force reduction

    Not to hijack the thread, but T2Pilot, what are your thoughts on the Cannon rumors? Any thoughts on which squadrons are going and when? Everyone from the 16th says the 4th is going and everyone from the 4th say the 16th is going--never ending cycle of rumors!

    Massive Air Force reduction

    It's been a while since I've been in a Chinook or Army C-12, but if memory serves me, an entire batallion would be a pretty tight squeeze.

    Massive Air Force reduction

    This story was in the AF Times in a slightly different format. As far as pilots are concerned, yes, the AF is overmanned I think by 1,400 or so pilots. It's a scary number except when followed up by the statistic of 1,000 of those are Lt Cols (no doubt from the airline squeeze). There was an...

    ROTC, OTS, and which branch?

    As for my lack of experience, gimme the benefit of a year chief, we can share notes again when I get to the FTU if it makes you feel better. No problem, buddy.

    ROTC, OTS, and which branch?

    With all due respect to your lack of experience, a program existed a short time ago which provided for T-1 trained bomber pilots. Yes, the program is over, but the point is that things change. So the advice to find happiness in what you end up doing long-term stands.

    Annapolis the movie?

    Lets not forget about the 105mm. :)

    Annapolis the movie?

    Damn. We were doing so good for a while. I guess we'll have to once again suffer through Dave's ignorance.

    Headed to Laughlin

    Agreed with all--you will definitely enjoy the experience (though, not at first).

    Gays in the MIL

    Gays in the MIL -- Disregard Looks like someone, probably USMCAirWinger, has used my screenname.

    Former Marine Helo, current Reg FO to ANG?

    Try telling that to the Hog and Gunship guys who did work in OIF

    Whats up with civi pilots?

    You should get a job no problem with that attitude.

    ATP ME LAND to ATP SE SEA

    Didn't work that way for me either, but, that was 7 years ago. Was the change (PP-SES to COM-SES) automatic or did you have to fill out more paperwork for the FSDO?

    Encounters With Arrogant Celebrity Pilots

    Met Arnold Palmer in his Citation X (N1AP), real nice guy--flying from the left seat if memory serves me.

    Ots

    You dork, are we gonna surf PR or what?

    Ots

    The last five or so of your posts have centered around how much "awesomer" Marines are than us lowly Air Force peons. What's the deal dude, are you secretly in love with us?

    Ots

    Almerick, I went through about two years ago and mgg20's description is pretty much on point. OTS, like many other AETC courses, won't necessarily challenge you physically as much as it will mentally. The academics range from "warrior knowledge" to public speaking to writing EPR/OPRs. You...
