Yes common sense isn't always a officers best quality. Especially after Major.

and when did the AF uniform allow v-neck tshirts, except in blues?

It sounds like you're asking me how old I am. Didn't your mama teach you any manners?
Depending upon how old you are, it could be before you were born.

Back when the Earth was flat, you could wear V-necks with fatigues. Now this was back when we actually had fatigues and not fancy dancy BDU's.

oooh, well.. it sounds like your about 25-ish to 30-ish. see my mama did teach me manners, haha.


Not a big fan of BDUs, we gotta iron em. BUT, they are releasing the new ADUs (Airman Battle Uniforms ) starting in 2007 with a mandatory wear date of 2011 i believe. Yay for no more ironing.

and instead of totally hijacking this thread for AF talk....

Who hear thinks the blackbird should be built again?

Not to sound like a recording, but Dee (Kandyse McClure), the Doc (Donnelly Rhodes- yay!), and the new aide to President Roslin (Suleka Mathew ) have all been regulars on DaVinci's Inquest, currently on WGN.

Sorry, spaced the rest of the thread where you say you're at Lakenheath. WGN is a US-wide cable channel that shows mostly syndicated fare. The show was originally made for CBC in Canada. If it ever gets to the UK, you should check it out.

In what world does "battle" start with D?

When I 1st saw the mini-series, and there was a scene where a cylon raider fired a missile at Colonial One, and Apollo flew ahead of it and let the missile track him, and then he flipped around and fired at the missile, I knew right there that that was correct physics I was seeing. That was the 1st time I ever seen real physics happening in a sci-fi movie with space fighters. It makes sense and it changes the whole dynamics, the concept of dog fighting.

Also, that scene where destroyed a Cylon fighters debris is raining on Starbuck’s viper. The fact that you can hear the noise of it hitting the viper must be because those cockpits might have oxygen in them, but then again that would defeat the idea that they have fully enclosed helmets, but the sound could be heard in the cockpit because of the air.

I feel we must be fair to those who preceded Battlestar and even Firefly.

On Babylon 5, the Earth Fighters used real physics, and they rocked. Probably the best space fighter design I've ever seen, at least from a maneuverability standpoint.
