To be clear (and to not purport to be something I'm not), I only took the ASTB; I was booted during my pre-comm at Great Lakes... evidently, my right eye wasn't quite as sharp as I thought it was (20/50). Incidentally, I came to find out much later that the USAF would have welcomed me with open arms when my cousin - who was reserve USMC during college and has worse vision than I do - got accepted to OTS. So instead of being a grunt in a Jump Jet, he's now a KC-135 bus driver, and I'm just damn good at giving him sh%# about it. He's on deployment right now, so I appreciate you helping me keep my skills sharp.
The Navy has always had the tougher eye test. You experienced the NAMI Whammy which is an anal assault through the eye socket. The best score ever recorded on the Navy eye test was by Ted Williams. People might not know The Splinter was a Marine fighter pilot who served in both WW2 and Korea. Imagine his numbers if he didn't miss those seasons in his prime.Be sure to let your cousin know that he passes gas for a living. Those guys form the sky bridge that keeps the 24/7 airlift moving. While not as glamorous as flying a fast mover it is a critical link in our strategic superiority.
The splendid one will be back in 100 years when he thaws out from cryogenics.
I believe Walt Disney is also kept in the same cryogenic facility.
That's a myth. I was just up at Disney studios for work, and asked about that myself.
Correct....as a former employee of Disney (Angels and Mighty Ducks), I can confirm.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Is his unfrozen head on display somewhere that only Disney employees are allowed?
ChicoWhat is correct? That Walt's head is in storage or that the story is a myth? Is Walt Disney's Cranial Disposition part of New Employee Orientation? While nowhere near enthralling as the Richard Gere Gerbil Legend it would be a damn shame to ruin a perfectly wonderful cocktail anecdote.
He was not frozen, he was embalmed two days after death for his wake. Then cremated and buried at Forest Lawn in Glendale, CA.

ChicoIf this is true then how is it that Disney's dying words were, "Kurt Russell?" There is something very sinister about this. And how do you explain Walt Disney's Quest for Global Domination? http://www.jinxmagazine.com/disney.html
I recall the oleo runs to IL in my youth with my parents smuggling contraband across the IL/WI border
I seem to recall that when WI finally allowed oleo sales it forbade the use of yellow dye so that margarine was an industrial gray color. Government's patronizing oversight is ridiculous if not insulting.
Like I said, we would do a la carte very easily, but the media companies make it financially impossible.Testifying in front of Congress yesterday...one of my bosses.http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-directv-executive-blasts-broadcasters-congress-20130612,0,7516703.story
They're not monopolies, they have to compete with two major satellite companies as well as the phone companies. What is at play here are MFNs.
Not entirely accurate. The cables were granted territorial exclusivity, thereby giving them market monopolies. Challenges through choice came only later with tech innovation in the form of satellite then OTT Content delivery.
Wow. Is the public position of DirecTV in favor of government enforced ala carte?
