Title: I have to quit..........
Post by: Waffle on March 31, 2006, 02:55:43 AM
Last night / this evening I replied to a text message to some chick with "CC"....then I  tried to type an explanation when she asked what it was....
I finally took  the easy way out and said it was a typo.

I have to admit inflight in the F-15E, I looked left and added in some left trim from hitting the stick hat switch...  F**ing dweeblet, that's me.  I quit WB/AH for a month after that little incident.

Just found my Stick/throttle/rudder after my move to Korea 2 weeks ago...  Gonna get in the arena tonite I think.

Low level in a fighter is awesome.  I've always loved RL BFM, low level flying, and dive-bombing on the range.

Unfortunately it looks like my tactical flying USAF career is probably over for a variety of reasons, but I'll still get a chance to fly trainers and that's a nice "second place" position.

It also means I'll get a chance to attend more cons, and I'll probably hit Mouse up for a job sooner or later :)

It's a pity you have to quit flying! But think about us poor devils who'll never get the chance of flying monsters like the Eagle! At least you did that!

And now go searching for a real job!!!!!!!!! :D

P.s. I like your avatar!

I'm not done flying, just probably done flying fighters.  But flying trainers is far better than flying a desk :)

We'll be sitting at some intersection, waiting for a hole to get into traffic.
She'll have one open up left & just before she looks right I'll be like.
Bogey, 3 oclock coming fast.

Or backing out of our  driveway, "check 6!"

Whats scariest of all, is that she actually understands it!

Now if she'd just let me mount a pair of 20mm to the car fenders.
We could really get places!

I was at the Kroger checkout line shopping after school.  I had my workshirt on that said Fairley High Bulldogs.  The girl asked, "So, your a teacher?".  I said "roger".  She replied, "Well I respect what you do for our community Roger, Keep up the good work!  You'all just don't get paid enough for what you do."  My name is Mark. lol

I was at work and a student told me she was going to do something with a tape that had just got done airing. I told her "Copy That" and I walked around the corner to check on a few things.

I came back around and noticed she was gettign everything set up to copy that tape. I asked her why she was going to do that and she said thats what I told her to do.  :o

I find myself saying copy or rgr on my business phone calls. The persons on the other end would say "What did you say?" I would respond back, yes I heard you. They said I thought you were flying or something. I just smile and think yes I wish I was flying.

I went online with my throwback stick setup...  Got tooled.  WMLute repeatedly sneeked up on me in plain sight and got me a dozen times without me even seeing him coming.

The prob is I didn't bring my good stick setup with me and the stick I have, although a decent new CH flightstick pro, only has a 4-way hat and no pinkie button.  I'm having to totally re-learn the game visual lookout techniques I last used about 5 years ago when I won my good stick at the con dueling tourny winging with Drex.  I spent over an hour calibrating the stick (it spikes near center in roll so I have a large deadband... ugh) and remapping keys, buttons, and views, so although it's usable it's still not intuitive yet.  I'll have to re-do the cockpit view positions on most of the planes to compensate for no quartering views, and I still need to work on remapping keys because with my good stick/throttle, it didn't matter what keys did what because I programmed them all into the stick and throttle buttons.  Having the trim and flap keys on opposite sides of the keyboard just doesn't help in a flat scissors...

I don't like ANY of the sticks currently on the market so I'll just suffer through with what I have for the next year.  At least I brought my rudder pedals...

When i play bike polo or soccer i have been called "Ace" in a sarcastic tone for yelling out things like "Bogey on you 6" and "deflection shot" like an air race announcer while playing, ya this doesnt help get the ladys let me tell ya, and the one i have doesnt find it that amusing, i once when slow dancing i said "ok lets yaw to the left" and "ok pitching 45 degrees" i think she thougth it was cute at first.

Eagl, you're a much better fighter pilot (in-game, and -IhopeSo- in real life) than I can ever be, but now you've invoked the feared powers of the Drex. :)

Hmmmmmmm funny I use "rgr", "copy" and "check" calls all day on the job, in IMs and sometimes when conversing with my friends.

Of course I am usually walking the halls of a DOD or 'Intel' installation while conversing about some of the "hall talent" with my co-workers. But even in daily conversation its accepted and no one blinks an eye.  My Manager is former Air Force so he doesn't even notice it.

I find it very handy while rolling down the road with a wingman...errrr...fellow rider.  You can shout out very quick and concise messages that carry well over the rumble of the V-Twin 88's.  "Fast mover on our 6". "CC".  "Rgr...bandit is a Soccer Mom....break break break!"

Gotta love that Military 'influence".   I even learned to subtract 12 for everything over 1300 hours.

Now can someone tell me what a rudder does?    :lol
