The worst movies (yes, plural) was when I had OD duty in port on a ship Headed for decommissioning and the scrapyard. Crew of three: me, one PO3, and one SA. One for the Quarterdeck, one Messenger, and me: the officer in charge in case anything went wrong. Time frame 1973. The Evening’s...

I’m based in the nyc - New England area. I’ve never heard anything else besides “pick”, unless no abbreviation is used: pilot in command, or even “pee-eye-see“. What do you call it? Skip

Generator belt slipping due to high charging load. I've had this happen the automotive world. The car would run fine during the day. At night, and on the interstate, with the headlights on, the battery would discharge and not keep up with the total load, and the lights got dimmer and...

This device works! My daughter keeps 15 hives in Colorado, and keeps these around. She no longer gets stung frequently but when she does, she swears by this gizmo: thebugbitething.com It is basically a vacuum syringe device which sucks the venom out of a bite site before its toxins get...

@ScaredLittleMan: I am not going to read a wall of text such as quoted here. It indicates to me that you cannot parse your thoughts into cogent paragraphs, either from lack of education or the effects of drugs. Please try again using paragraphs and other relevant punctuation. It seems as...

For those who remember him, Henning can roll a 172! -Skip

Rylan, we can give you opinions as to how to approach the FAA, but our opinions mean squat to the FAA. The only way to get sound advice is to take all your test results and present it to a Senior AME for a CONSULTATION. I do wish you well. I, and the rest of us, are just SGOTI to the FAA...
