Excalibur Squadron OOC 2: The Song Remains the Same

[Organized States]

Most definately agreed.

Also, I thought this was worth sharing with y'all.

I received an information packet from the Air Force Academy based on my PSAT scores yesterday. They've requested that I attempt to gain a nomination and apply to them.

You mean a service academy is actually trying to recruit you?

Not really. They just "strongly encouraged" me to continue along with the process to obtain a nomination because my scores met their requirements.

Did you actually express any interest to them in going to the Academy, or did they just up and send this to you out of the wild blue yonder *Giggle!*?

I see what you did there.

I requested information and they asked for my PSAT scores on that form.

Apparently it was enough to warrant a response.

OK, now that makes sense. If it was just "Dear *insert name here*, we saw you had high PSAT scores, have you considered applying to the USAFA?", that would be highly unusual.

I've heard of it happening, but I know it mostly only happens with the few football/baseball/basketball players who are really good and have decent grades.

What does this have to do with Excalibur?

Still, congrats, yo.

Nothing. I reported it in the spam megathread, but the mods seem to have missed it.

How bout that shit.

I bet he walks down dark alleyways at night and doesn't give a fuck.

Well theres something you don't see everyday; a Eurofighter Typhoon skimming the rooftops.

How low?

[Monfrox]

I know what I'm going to see...if it has a US release that is.

Don't hold your breath. They couldn't even give Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Harry Brown a full US release, and those actually had some legit star power behind them.

How low?

Low enough to see the pilot quite clearly.

[Goram]

How low?

Low enough to see the pilot quite clearly.

And you live in...Norfolk, isn't it?

Right you are boi.

Might've been some event going on at Robertson Barracks, did hear sounds of a fair or something from that direction which the jet also flew (ie over the camp).

Has to be. No other reason for him to be that low - I mean, there's a military exercise area somewhere off the East coast (without my charts, I can't remember where it is), but you'd not be flying that low to get there. So yeah, probably a demo (in which case, it was probably a 29R Squadron aircraft). The Typhoon demo runs in to display at 100-300 feet, hence why he was so low.

Theres that bombing range in the Wash, RAF Holbeach IIRC which is a sub-unit of RAF Marham...though thats a good few miles to the west of me.

Way, way too low to be transiting to there. If he was as low you say, and he wasn't running in to display, then I suspect the good folks at the CAA and his superiors might want quite a frank word upon landing.

Glory, flying regulations
Have them read at every station
Crucify the man who breaks one
The force is shot to hell!

I should really post up Alan Pollock's account from Hunter Boys...

So tonight I've been seeing the World of Tanks commercial with the American, British, German, and Japanese tankers giving their little pep talks and the voiceover guy asking "Who will win?".

I so wish that I was in that commercial just so I could answer "Definitely not the Japanese guy".

All in how you play

Those Japanese heavies are scary though.
