You have no idea....

http://www.nasawatch.com/archives/000292.html Historically, space exploration has not been a hot topic in the Presidential champaigns, but I find this very interesting. With less than 2 weeks to go, I plead with all of you that are old enough to vote (and are Americas) to do so well informed. Don't...

When asked-
"What do you think the other aerospace companies are thinking right now?"

Please. Please!. PLEASE!!!! In the name of all that is good a holy and by the grace of BOB herself, check your medical forms before you send them back to camp!!!! I have never seen this many screwed up forms, EVER . Take five minutes, look it over, make sure it was a doctor that signed your physical...

The Learning Channel show "While You Were Out" was at the USSRC filming an episode of it's series. The episode features Derek Springer, a school teacher from Austin, TX and son of former astronaut Bob Springer. Bob & Derek were at the USSRC as part of the "set-up" for the ep...

It not whether you like it or not, it's the rule.

No harm huh? Well everyone needs to pay better attention during their welcome briefing. All electronic devices (walkie talkies, radios, Gameboys, cell phones, etc.) are prohibited. In other words, you can't have them. For the first time in forever, counselors and supes are cracking down on this. Don...

The UAT is great. Between Sim Op, Counselor, and Assistant Instructor, AI is the best. Better and more fulfilling than being a counselor. Lots of the time being a counselor felt like being a sheep dog, herd 'em where they need to be and nip at their heels when necessary. Being an AI and working at t...

You'll notice, JASON, that I am no longer a counselor now am I? And I was a sim-op long before you ever started here, so I've seen every side of this place. And you have NO IDEA why I left when and the way I did, so don't pretend to lecture me. The only thing I am offering Vincent is a dose of reali...

And on what planet have you been living on Who? Have you been a full time employee so long now that you've forgotten that THEY DON'T CARE ?!?!? This is the only advice I'll give you Vincent, if you were dumb enough, yes I said dumb enough, to list open availability on your application, bring some lo...

For the millionth time, there is no guarantee that anyone on any team will get to do the EVA. If it is a small team, or a team full of idiots, there will be not EDM dive. How we choose who get to do the dive is entirely up to the UAT staff. NO ONE ELSE CHOOSES . The only time anyone else would be al...

You can probably guess what movie inspired the redesign. Hope ya'll likes.

Checked with my records, I bought that copy last May. MAY!!!! Not even a year ago. The copies were out there, hiding amongst the copies of "Big Trouble in Little China" and "Killer Clowns From Outer Space," all you had to do was get off your lazy six and look for it. The copy I h...

Where in the ROK are you? If you're near Casey/Hovey go have a slaw dog, egg burger, and fish bowl for me. Benning just ain't what it used to be. Things have gotten easier since I went through back in '97 (they added that stupide extra week of training not long after I graduated). But at least they ...

You have got to be kidding me.....

Oh wait, you probably went to Fort Jackson huh? What's your MOS pogue?

Infantry leads the way!
