  1. Its not that rare, went up 6 times today in the UH-60. 36F on the ground and 6F at 12K. 8 minutes to 12, with good pilots, 12 to 12 with not so good ones. We are going back to Cullman on Saturday though, it is to be warmer. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. The UCSM has a Team in Florida, but it is a real low key one. They don't need one. The History they have is good enough. Ever hear of them pullig in short on recruitment? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  3. billvon has it right I think. Max, you would be right if they held the assets (funds etc) from the troops. So far I have only heard 4 members of congress make that threat, but I think it is hollow, as it would be tantamount to political suicide in the end.

  4. I just got done with some of the AAR's covering that and the book called "Guests of the Ayatolla" which talks about your role too. You got Big Hairy Balls Dude! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  6. It is all about the tongue. That is sick and perverted. (and has gotten a few politicians in trouble too!) Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  7. Ha ha, thought you was a Brit! (didn't know you happened to be to far removed from the proper folk now did they?) Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  10. While don't agree with blocking this legislation, I do agree the line item type veto should be in place. More party plays if you ask me. Maybe the way some want to handle Iraq should be tested in DC first? Matt Its a JOKE! Well maybe not completely, but not serious, to much. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  11. Why would they do that? Can't ALL politicall parties use a simular system to generate e-mails? Or was this a reform bill that went off on the wrong tangent? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. When Al Gore made the internet he knew it would need a little improving. Soon with the GOV monitoring all our e-mail we will have that improvement! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. Some one give you a new stir for the pot? Of course it is the US (with the Free Mason Influence don't you know!). Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  14. Hillary is NEO CON!?! Both Parties are gonna slam each other and of course them selves. Nothing new. The poster who said running against the Bush/Clinton Families strangle hold may have some thing there. Neither name should be in the White House next time around. The two families have to many ties to ineptness. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  17. Yes you can, I have one. The Brand X bag from Square 1 is nice, geared toward the full face, but it allows for a bit of extras to be stored there as well (I have one of those too). I used a Motorcycle helmet bag for many years it kept my very old Factory Diver looking brand new, draw back was the fake sheep wool lining gets stuck in the hook of the velcro some thing fierce! I also made one my self, it is simple and does a good job, just doesn't have "cool" stuff on it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  18. Haven't you been watching Good Morning America? They answered all those questions and had the Women of the Senate on! I didn't get a good feeling that Hillary would run but the didn't realy push to hard on it either. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  19. Find an older hotel that has "Office" hanging over the check in front door. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  20. Some how I looked at the video thinking, "You fucken idiots stay out of the window!" But hey maybe that was the plan. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  21. As far as NBC stuff, been there and done that too. I did not learn any thing new in your rant. Well not true, Your right, I guess I learned I did not benefit from your service. You still posted your anger aimed at my post, my fault for posting to you first. As for the state medical insurance, I only used a word from a San Mateo news paper. Maybe if the laws prevented such huge payouts for law suits Doctors wouldn't have to over charge patients so they can have funds for Insurance. Then maybe a visit to a Doctor would be a little cheaper and the less well off can pay for the visit? The idea is good until you ask why we need it. Once you look into why those with lower incomes can't afford the health care they need, you realize your only perpetuating the problem and not doing any thing to actually fix it. Yes the amount of money spent in Iraq would make for a hell of a lot better Health system, Pay and benefits system for Gov. Employees, cleaner National Parks, cleaner air projects, the options are limitless. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  22. "Doc" just passed all his immigration stuff. What he relayed was a written and oral test in English. Granted it is the same sentence all the time so maybe it could be "parroted". But we should be having a better English understanding by the new citizens? The Provost Marshals Office had a sign like that? I remember getting a JAG office briefing about English is the work language and private conversation can be what ever native tongue. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  23. Do you know how much it would cost to shift all the stars to add 1 more? Its not like you could just stick any where! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  24. Fine, your an "individualist". I still feel I benefited from your service, if your not there, who would have been there in your place? Again, I made no claim of your toughness, it appears you just projected your anger over the MSM's claim at me. I did not bash California. I meant that specifically actions in Iraq have no personal bearing on You but any in California do. I moved to California when I was 7 (in 1975) and lived there (on the SF Peninsula) till I was 18 (1986). I am still a resident and get home to see the folks 1 to 2 times a year. I still vote in California. I may have as much right over an opinion of the state as any other non-native Californian who moved there. The Flag, now that is interesting since the word "Socialism" is being used in the California and National Media about a current item of legislation being presented by the Governor and State Senate. I looked it up after your comment to see why you posted it. But it is partly my fault, I voted for him too (The Governor that is). Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  25. Kudos to your service. Seriously, good for you, but more the US, we benefit from your service. But now I am even more befuddled. I would think you would know what an insult your post was to me (and I am guessing, others who serve too). I made no claim of your "manliness" and have no qualm with your "toughness". I can see where you misunderstood the second paragraph of my post as "your rights in Iraq", I did not mean to infer that. I meant rights over all. I am proud of my time in the Army. I can feel the "greater sum" over the "lesser of one", in being a part of a Team who strives to do right and succeed in all it is faced with doing. If you wish to stand alone, go right on ahead, I wont stop you, it is your right to do so. I agree your rights are more in jeopardy right now in California than they are in Iraq. No, I am not being sarcastic. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
