Just looking at the picture at the beginning of the post, definitely Navy.

Navy pilots also train in Pensacola. Drive over to the Blue Angel hangar and half of it is part of a training command that runs T-34s (although they may just be the NFOs.)

Not anymore.

18 inches LAU to canopy. At least when I was on the team.

So does the Navy. The AF base in HI is a joint base with Naval Station Pearl Harbor. See also: Naval Air Facilities Key West and Pensacola (the latter of which is the home of the Blue Angels.)

As the Air Force won't even deign to take off in foul weather, we usually got it anyway.

I personally like the Final Fantasy series. It's got story (some of it super weird and nonsensical, but whatever), the fight sequences are choosing actions from a menu (I don't have very good button skills), and leveling up/finding new weapons is pretty task-oriented (at least in my book). Cheers!

Hear, hear!! As a fellow servicemember of the sea-going persuasion, I concur. I know for at least the last 4 years or so, I have filled out the 'Would you feel comfortable reporting a sexual assault to your chain of command ?' block on the EO survey 'No', because you rarely see shit like this (ESPECIALLY this big) go…

Karen Orzolek always wins my women who rock vote.

Damn it, Jim! I've been trying for, like, 3 years to get a COTD. Totally thought this was a winner.

That's actually pretty genius.

It's all fun and snuggles until Kitty-foo-foo decides she doesn't like the color of your contacts.

I find it interesting that there's so much blowback on this study. Where was the blowback on Monsanto's 90 day study tht said it's safe in the first place? I think questioning new techniques, drugs, and products with rigorous long term testing makes the most sense for the overall long term health and safety of the…

Also: a housing allowance, cost of living allowance (based on location), food allowance, complete medical/dental coverage, tuition assistance, and the GI bill. Not a bad gig, once you have enough rank to make your paycheck decent.

30 paid vacation days per year, with the ability to carry up to 30 days over into the next year (you can't have more than 60 days, otherwise you will lose anything over that at the beginning of the year), all federal holidays (unless the situation dictates otherwise), unlimited paid sick days (unless you have a major…

Vivienne Westwood: Like a Sir.

To be fair, I don't remember that much of 'Neuromancer', Mr. Gibson's writing not being so much to my taste, so I first encountered the idea in 'This Alien Shore' by C. S. Friedman. She explores some of the pros and cons of the safety/precautions of doing such a thing. I would, with reservations.

My dog was the same way-we had her on the self-filling food dish from puppyhood on, and she stayed at a healthy weight by herself. Apparently Shibas are like that, though.
