Having TMO show up and pack everything, including the engines in my garage was interesting.

Jimmy Smuts posted:gently caress PCSing, especially to/from overseas. Some people think it's romantic/fun/a-life-experience/whatever, but really it's a loving nightmare, and half your poo poo always gets broke, including stuff that can't be replaced due to sentimental value. I'm dealing with this poo poo right now and I practically have to be wasted to deal with it all. I've been back in the US for 6 months & haven't received my HHG poo poo yet; and my ex just received a lot of her HHG poo poo broken, and guess who has to file the claim due to bureaucracy. Yes, but then I'd have to go to reddit, and I'm not doing that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOqb_UzJSUQ

hannibal posted:Speaking of bases, I’m out at Vandenberg this week and it seems pretty chill. I don’t know if that would be true of an assignment but, I’d have gone for it. I really enjoyed TDY'ing to Edwards AFB, wish I could've stayed. Its weird too because its out on the edge of Death Valley but its a pretty quick drive from there to LA.

antimatt posted:Union Pacific 4023, a Big Boy. Super cool to see and a very interesting piece of engineering and technology. I suggest anyone in the area go and check it out. One of the most powerful steam locomotives ever produced. Cheyenne also has 2(?) I believe, one in a park and one that Union Pacific restored and run on a route to Colorado every now and again.

Sacrist65 posted:For the people who ETS'd. Do you ever regret not sticking it out, even though you would likely have been be retired by now? Sometimes but my health was suffering pretty badly and despite it being acknowledged as service related they refused to waiver my run, so it was out of my hands. I was also making plenty of money off-duty so kind of a no-brainer.

I'd also be cautious, under Trump they were cutting back on programs that provided US Citizenship opportunities and they even kicked a few out and sent them home. Among that, unless he goes in already with Pilot on his recruiting paperwork, then there's no guarantee he gets to be a pilot. If he goes in as Enlisted, he'd have to get a degree and enter the Officer Candidate program and then become a pilot. So there's some barriers.

Boris Galerkin posted:So I'm watching Top Gun Maverick and I've never seen the original Top Gun before. I just have 2 random questions: Maybe in the fighter world? I wouldn't know that world, but heavies: Nobody cares about your callsign, most pilots know each other by their real name. The callsign is just a cute thing for your nametape. If they are joking around they might mention it.

Boris Galerkin posted:Alright, was just wondering because in pretty much every media with scientists, they always make it a point to introduce each other like "this is Dr. Soandso, and this is Dr. Suchandsuch, and this is Prof. Blahblah". In the real world nobody is being so formal when introducing themselves to each other as peers lol. Everyone is just "hi I'm Bob and this is John" not "hi I'm Dr. Whatever." Yeah, I went to a couple Nuclear Physics conferences, and everybody just introduced themselves as "This is David from Cambridge, this is Anna from MIT, etc." The guys who were sticklers about their title in casual conversations were always the weirdos at science conferences, so that tracks.

People tell me I’m missing out. I really just can't stand Tom Cruise anymore. The guy is permanent cringe in my book.

B-1, B-2, B-52 all have ejection systems, among others. It's mostly the civilian based Cargo/Refueling/Combat Control(JSTARS/RC/AWACS/etc.) planes that dont. Guess we'll find out if they ground the Fleet again

Yeah the problem remains that doing cyber in the USAF just doesn't compare to the private sector income you can get doing the same.
