  1. [h=2]God Bless the enlisted man.............[/h] Is Sex "work"? A Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled. He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was "work" and how much of it was "pleasure?" A Major chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work . A Captain said it was 50-50%. A lieutenant responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time. There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the PFC who was in charge of making the coffee. What was HIS opinion? Without any hesitation, the young PFC responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure." The colonel was surprised and asked why. The PFC said, "Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them."
  2. The only Q2 I ever got (no Q3's thank god) was on an evaluator upgrade checkride in the 37th; the Chief who was administering the evaluator check and I got into a screaming match during the -1, somehow I knew a Q1 wasn't going to happen on that checkride.
  3. Pilot did pretty good and made a purty landing. Had a seven minute flight in Germany that we had #1 shut down and #2 and #4 screwing up real bad, we elected to keep the other two engines running since we were on downwind. (#4 overspeed 105% and #2 underspeed 93%)
  4. Ken Dont expect any more than 10% for your tinnitus, I think the CFR38 allows for as much as 20% (maximum) but you have to be deaf in both ears to get that. No actually they have a pretty nice selection of glasses, I get a new pair from them every year, nice wire frame ones. Of course they have the butt ugly selections if that's what you want LOL
  5. Ahhh the good old Bat 60 mission, that was always the gravy TDY, a real good money maker too!!! I started seeing these Herks delivering my mail (when I was mx on AWACS) while I was TDY to Riyahd then a couple years later I was on that C-130 delivering the mail to my old friends. I have known several "Interesting Loads", hell some of them are probably still in the service. They were always good for getting your butt in big trouble off station :)
  6. I knew Lynn Hebdon, he was 16SOW examiner (CMSGT) the last few years I was flying. Gotta say I didn't really care for him too much.
  7. Yep, it takes years to finish up with the va claims, I retired with a 50% rating and it took more than 2 years to get it all straight and get my 100%, by the time they finally fessed up with the correct % for me I was waiting on an appeals court date. Dont let them get away with anything, even if you get a rating; if you dont agree with the % they give you fight it until you get what you think you deserve. I am pretty sure its an unwritten policy at the VA to blow off almost all claims and to low ball other claims because 95% of the folks out there wont fight it and they know this.
  8. Congrats on the final success with these jerks, what percentage did you end up with?
  9. I used to have some pics of that crash but they were on the computer that disappeared from my household goods on my return pcs (one whole container out of five disappeared grrrr damn thieves)
  10. I'll take the connie, since they wouldn't give me the Credible sport plane it would make up for that :)
  11. Had a check ride with Bitchin Butch Orend, at the start of the check he hands me 10 pennies and says every time you f*ck up you have to pay for it, if you go broke you fail. Boy I had a death grip on those pennies. As for a philosophy on administering checkrides, base the required knowledge level on who the evaluee is (ie basic, instructor, etc.) and realize that there is a ladder to knowledge levels and some folks are always going to be on the bottom of that latter knowledge wise and as long as they can fumble their way through the books for most items its going to be a Q1 whereas an instructor had better know most things in the book without direct reference to the books. My longest ground eval (about 16-20 hours of it), I thought he was just busting my chops for the hell of it but a month later I was headed to instructor school!! George, do you remember Ron Hennion? I think he was in that course evaluation with you.
  12. I will admit that the medal does have a place in today's airfarce, but the placement is totally out to lunch; I see it as a one pointer equivalent to the achievement medal.
  13. Naa when I go out I want Max Torque showing on all four
  14. Is the outflow hole out on the outer edge of the stab leading edge open? Paint shop and wash rack have been known to cover these up
  15. Yeah, I have never agreed with that limitation, if I had gone out to an E mod or a MC-P and we didn't have significant pressure by 20 or 30 % we had a problem. Only times I didn't see almost system normal pressure by on speed usually it was a shelled pump; I think I would shut down and at least check filter buttons before pressing on with a pump that didn't read normal until 30 seconds after on speed.
