That one rated a 9/1 on my "beer on the monitor" scale. 9 parts beer on the monitor, 1 part for me. Edited to add. Same here, Lee. No real disrespect intended. Just squid talk :-) Owned by Remi #?

On the student rigs I wore there was a tab and zipper on the BOC pouch that the reserve side JM could grab to pretty much open up the entire pouch and to let the PC fly. Owned by Remi #?

Kallend nailed the logic behind the solution: Will a numerical solution help? Take “Ts” as the time the guy's wife usually picks him up. “Te” as the time he usually gets home, and “Td1” as the time it takes for them to drive home. In the problem, he leaves 60 minutes early (Ts-60) and arrives home 20 minutes early (Te-20). He walks for some of the time “Tw” and his wife drives for some of the time “Td2” So… when his wife picks him up on time: Td1 = Te-Ts When he left early: Tw + Td2 = Te – 20 – Ts + 60 = Te – Ts + 40 = Td1 + 40 So: Tw + Td2 = Td1 + 40 If he got home 20 minutes early, then so did his wife. That can only mean that her round trip was shortened by 10 minutes each direction. Therefore Td2 (the time it took her on the return trip when he walked part way) is 10 minutes shorter than the normal drive home (Td1) Or: Td2 = Td1 – 10 That means that: Tw + Td1 – 10 = Td1 + 40 Tw = 50. Time walked equals 50 minutes. You don’t have to know how long it takes him to get home on a normal trip, only that the trip itself was 40 minutes longer than usual. Edited an error.

Your point is well taken about the seat. I know that there's also a limit to how much crap you can cram into cockpit.... Just seems to me that in a "fly by wire" aircraft like the F-16 you've got a lot more "technology failure" to worry about than an altimeter going bad. Owned by Remi #?

My point was..... if an ejection seat can be designed to be so "smart" why does the pilot have to manually adjust his altimeter. Sure it's "just an instrument". That's the problem. If this particular instrument has been as sophisticated as it could be using current technology, the accident wouldn't have happened, the pilot wouldn't have been at as much risk, and the 20 million dollar plane wouldn't have been destroyed and ejection seat would have been a mute point. Owned by Remi #?

I find it very unsettling that the ejection seat is smarter than the altimieter. Owned by Remi #?

Huh? The solution was posted. Owned by Remi #?

I figured that would come up....... Yeah, he screwed up. But he didn't just throw in the towel and punch out high. He made an effort to mitigate his mistake. Owned by Remi #?

What I saw looked like someone who's a skydiver had to have had input. A guy and a woman are on a plane and share a piece of gum..... the caption says "Go Go Go" and they guy jumps. A piece of gum in the womans pocket jumps out after him and appears to taunt him when he pulls..... then the gum burns into a tree and gets up shaking it's little gummy fist at the sky. The last caption says something close to "Extra.. the gum that never gives up" As always: Editing for spelling Owned by Remi #?

Has anyone seen this ad? I hope this isn't a repost. I saw it at a restaurant on a TV with only closed-captioning but it looked pretty fun. Owned by Remi #?

Not knowing what you are supposed to do to achieve a goal is not the same as not having a goal. Not having a "clearly defined mission" means that leadership isn't focused on a plan or isn't sharing the plan, but it doesn't mean that the individual soldier doesn't understand why he's fighting. Owned by Remi #?

1. Not having a cleary defined mission is not the same as not knowing why you are fighting. 2. I think that the president is VERY responsible for the body count. He'll be held accountable for his actions. I think that using a body count to mock the president because you disagree with his actions is tasteless and disrespectful. Owned by Remi #?

Iflyme stating that the soldiers didn't even know why they were fighting, for one. But even worse, using a body count to mock the president. Owned by Remi #?
