32 hours in hell?
/thread.
Well... we landed at around the 20-hour point, then debriefed for a few hours, then since I was the junior officer in the squadron and it was 9/11, I had to run around base setting up a roll call for that evening that ran several more hours. No idea how long I slept after that.

Howrver, they start charging that rate at kickoff time, and stop charging it two hours after the game ends. If you can figure out what to do for 2 hours, the rate goes down to $2 a day if you use Metro. I guess we can get drunk and stay in the stands! Or take metro into town and party and come out three hours later.
Exactly what I was thinking

Seem reasonable to park our car at the Morgan Blvd metro station (Redskins website says its $15 for events at Fedex Field), walk to the game, then come back and ride the metro into town for some brief sight-seeing and food?

I'm not sure that either of these teams deserve to be in the quarterfinals.

Telling them that I had received a mailer for 12 months / $60 worked for me (I hadn't).

Serious question but what does the B-2 not do that we need to do?
Dynamic targeting of any kind. It doesn't have a targeting pod on it like the B-1, B-52, and F-15E, so it's really only good for flying a fully pre-planned mission. Add on that we only have 20 of them, and far fewer than that combat-ready at any given time, so they can't really fly sustained combat ops from a deployed location like a squadron of any other bombers would. They're pretty much only good for flying those long-duration missions from Missouri on night one, then they need a break. Not a flexible option at all in today's much more dynamic battlefield.

It's like they've told us for years now that even our newest bombers are out of date and we need newer ones. Never mind the B-2 does basically everything and we're using it to bomb people in tents.....
No it doesn't, and no we don't...

Lived there 2000-2001. Can confirm that weird motherfuckers lived there, and I was not one and didn't fit in, so I moved on with my life. Still get my hair cut at the barber shop downstairs occasionally, so I hope that institution lives on somehow.

Yessir. 19.4 hours sitting in an ejection seat.

Did 19.4 hours once, non-stop from Qatar to South Dakota. But it wasn't commercial and we refueled three times, so I'm not sure if that counts.

I posted my '73 Vette occasionally on the other site. Decided not to sell it after all.

Looking at their historical data, the period from 1965 - 1982 had no significant droughts or floods. At least 17 years of relatively "normal" lake levels.
