    Air Force AFSC selection

    On the outside I worked for 18 months in automotive instrumentation. Basically, hooking test equipment, vehicles, and data loggers together, to log performance data on new equipment. There was more to it than that, but that is the basic idea of what I did. I also did 9 months as a C-130...

    Air Force AFSC selection

    I joined as 2A1x1, Avionic Sensors, and did that for 5 years. At that time, Sensors and Comm/Nav combined. I did 4 more years of that. I used it in the civilian world, but not in the exact same manner as you would think.

    Air Force AFSC selection

    I was 2A573A when I separated. "Communication/Navigation/Mission Systems" I enjoyed the job, but not my shop. If you have basic mechanical and electrical knowledge, or the aptitude to learn it, and you can perform a job [in a timely manner] by reading instructions from a book, and enjoy it, it...

    Air Force and Navy personnel

    For the most part; however I've seen some of the enlisted housing on Cherry Point and Camp Pendleton [USMC], and it blows Hurlburt Field and Eglin [AF] housing away. "Slocum Village" houses [Cherry Point] are very nice, and I've now been to the houses of two young guys who live there, so it...

    Air Force and Navy personnel

    I did 9 years in the Air Force. My complete experience was not the best, but I loved my job for at least the first 5 years. I think a problem with asking a small number of people about their military experience is that everyone's experience varies, and widely. It's not because "your experience...

    Long Legged Mack Daddy.

    What's really damaging about this is, if you look up some of his other sermons, it's pretty much spiritual abuse. He spouts out a bunch of BS and then says that it isn't HIM saying this - it's the word of god! That's fking dangerous. What's worse is that his congregation is that large -...

    Long Legged Mack Daddy.

    Did you watch the whole thing? The guy is ricockulous, and while he makes a good point here or there, those points are totally discredited by some of the more asinine things he says.

    Starcraft II single player video clips! Looks like nothing but win!

    This. If the lore interests you and you like MMOs, there is little reason to dislike WoW unless you are a baddie. To be honest, I played Warcraft, WC 2 and the expansion, but never played WC3. I never really liked RTS games, but the lore was really interesting. THAT is why I preferred Warcraft...

    PS3 price drop coming soon. Slim PS3 coming soon.

    Why does it have to look so ugly? PS1 was ugly, PS2 looked pretty nice, PSPs look nice. PS3? Bleh.. they really lost this time. For the first time in a long time, Nintendo actually has the best looking console. I know most games for the Wii are not my usual favorites, but it is the only of the...

    Ingredient for life detected in comet dust

    Watching the Discovery Channel the other day, I saw something about the "Big Bang", where they were talking about other stars, other galaxies, how far apart they are, how small earth is compared to our sun.. and how small OUR sun is compared to some of the other stars. It is truly amazing...

    District 9 is easily... (**contains some spoilers!**)

    This is one I want to see. Watching the commercials, I thought "It's either going to really be awesome, or really suck."

    Final Fantasy Dissidia

    I wonder just how much of it I will enjoy? I started the Final Fantasy franchise from the start, on the NES, through 7 on the PS. I thought 8 was an abomination, and everything after that lost my attention. The MMO was also thumbs down game and lore-wise compared to WoW for me. It does look fun...

    Michael Vick signs with team

    I agree with you, for the most part. He did his time. He doesn't get a cookie from me for it. Him doing his time doesn't make me any happier about what he did. I expect most people to see him, for the rest of his life, as an animal abuser, and treat him accordingly. Reputations like...

    Michael Vick signs with team

    They can hire him - that is their choice. I happen to think that Philly fans who welcome him have more concern about a GAME than things that are much more important. You say that it is "dogfighting" as if that is not a bad thing. Generally, people who abuse animals have a much higher chance...

    Michael Vick signs with team

    Don't worry about how it sounds. Worry about "how it is". Michael Vick was convicted of a crime. Didn't he plead guilty? Ben Roethlisberger has been accused, nothing more. If you look at some of the allegations behind the story, it's looking more and more fabricated by the "victim" as time...

    Convicted?

    Michael Vick signs with team

    Yes, however that doesn't mean people have to hire him. I find what he did to be reprehensible. He is an athlete. No matter how much some fans love their favorite athlete, they are all very replaceable. Just because he performed well in the past does not mean he will in the future. I don't see...

    47 people incarcerated in a plane for nine hours (What if it happened to you)

    I think that in a case like that, exercising free speech and getting a bunch of other angry passengers together to demand release from this hostage situation would not be out of the question. I can't say what I would do in this situation, but I am sure that police and a lawyer, and possibly the...
