Lets see... bouncing at the doors of pubs and bars and tuning bikes. And trying to get that car, too.

Well this summer I'm going to have to travel quite a bit on and off to Norfolk and D.C. for various reasons.

My parents have bought a "new" house and are moving in May.  Who gets the job of digging up the foundation on one side to stop a minor leak?  Not my 3 sisters :), so it is pick an shovel time this summer.  Plus some over due painting here at my own home.

I have an easier way, I just take the bacon out of the package and put it in the microwave.

That way I don't have to worry about getting a tusk up my ass, and explain yet another embarassing injury to the folks who work at the emergency room.

$27 a day.
huge money, I know.

$27 a day BASE PAY... or $27 PER DIEM?
In that kind of situation, I'd get my base pay + the $27 for a really nice paycheck. I've worked TDY Force Protection jobs where I've almost DOUBLED my basepay through per deim.

$27 a day.
That's it.
We're just cadets.
We don't get any extra allowances beacause we're totally set otherwise.
Sucks.

Sounds like you need to learn a practice that officers have prefected throught centuries of military operations...

It's all training, we don't get NCO interaction much. We have CTA (Cadet Training Aids) and FTO (Field Training Officers).
I'd explain it all but its rather boring. Suffice it to say, I'm going to bootcamp for officers.

Put new steps on my front porch once the snow melts and the mud dries up. My rottweiler hooked the last set with her tie out, she won. The new ones will be designed so she can't get caught to avoid a constant rebuilding project.

Only the active Air Force officers can drop us now, and i believe they have to do it with us (might be wrong there).
Also, there's a limit to how much they can do it in an hour. I think the 1st week its 1 set of 10, second is 2 sets, 3rd is 3, 4th is 4 sets. THey can drop us for pushups or flutter kicks.

'Basic for Officers?'

40 push-ups in an hour and they have to drop with? :-\

That ain't basic... it's a health spa! My Drills would drop us for 40-50 every time we went to sleep in a class in AIT. It sould add up to quite a sum once you included the 50-60 that you were doing every morning during regular PT- I racked up 200 in a day once!

If you couldn't complete the PU's, then you stayed in the front lean-and-rest till class was over.

That's why you're at the academy, and I go to school in Worcester.

Also, not sure about the "have to drop with you" thing. I could be mistaken. I know it was talked about.
