Hmm, the particular group of "goons" on here I have honestly never heard of until this game and this is by far not the first game I've ever played online. Never even heard of that guy who said some other guy should commit suicide. So, I don't know about your particular brand of silliness but you seem like you have the qualifications of both "target" and "distraction" and I think we could possibly get along

I am a member of the United States Air Force, I am 2A5X3A AFSC, I work on C-130H2/H3s, DoD was just a nicer way of saying 'Enlisted' without trying to sound arrogant.

I just tell people I save the world. C-130H's huh? I preferred A-10A's but that's what I've been on the last several years. Unless someone with a suit and tie tells us the base is closing down again.

Wow, how bad was it to work on? We have APN-241 Low Power Color Radar, SOOOO much easier to work on than the APN-59 which had all those damned pressurization systems and was prone to breakdowns.

Just be glad you didn't have to work with sodium hexaflauride pressurized waveguides

I was going to respond, and then I saw this message. Thank you, Dificeman. Your point is about as good as it comes.

And he got shot down a page or two later.
I'm glad you follow the same mindless ideal that Goons are cheating exploiting jerks but have yet to have anything to show for it. Even I Pet Goat's little pictures didn't show anything.

This thread is about cool Radars now. Go throw your mindless angry drivel at someone else.

A-10s are awesome. Period. Hell, the company that produced the A-10 actually brought on an German ex-Stuka Ace to help them determine its requirements.

Heh, does it really matter if people hate goons?

Don't take the game, nor the goon-haters, too seriously.

Jesus, Commie, Damion. You two are almost making me wish that I was in the USAF instead of the CAF DND cadet command division I was in. I was trying to work my way into 8 Wing Air Transport in Trenton via the "baby sitting" group. They gave me my commission then told me that I was not going to be allowed to get my minimum flight time to transfer over to the reg force group. Of course if I was state side, I would of been one of those giving the messed up reports about the radar and requesting the mp3 adapter as well.

nothing against officers, the missile guys next door threw the best BBQ's tri-tip and beers all around XD (they requisitioned one of the wood grills just about every week XD)

I got distracted after 5 seconds. What is/was the point of this thread? And why does anyone care about "the Goons"? My personal experience with "goons" is related to EVE Online. And I just find them entertaining. Also, they make good targets when found alone. So why are they feared again?

Wasn't too bad. Depended mostly on the squadron "goons" . They liked to drop stuff down ladder wells and pretty much break everything like they were trolling lol. We had the pressure stuff too and it was a pain. Shore guys were lucky cause Raytheon had permanent techs there, where us ship guys had to "figure it out" lol

I was consider the worst type of officer in the Canadian forces. Basically it was my job to hype up and attract teens into our cadet system for very basic training and some minor advance stuff. I barely had to do anything but watch kids but I also didn't get paid unless I did a course or some special training op with the infantry even though I was in the air command structure. But I used to let the kids get away with anything that wasn't illegal or going to get me tossed out.

One thing I learned quick about flight officers: Be polite, and be upfront.

Every time we fixed something, I told the officers what went wrong and what we did to fix it, a little too much detail for the likes of my fellow MX coworkers, but the next time something broke, they told me MUCH more about what went wrong. Made my job so easy. I have yet to find an officer I cannot get along with.

Worst I've had is a plane come back from assault landing training i.e. they land on a rock and dirt strip, and they'd politely come by and tell us all the blade antennas on the belly were now gone.

Fun times. Every single L-band antenna was either shattered or completely ripped off the belly of the aircraft.

Oh, another good one: Aircraft gets sent to depot for a complete overhaul. But of course, the USAF uses minimum bid contractors to do this.

We get the Aircraft back, nothing out of the ordinary, until we attempt to test UHF. Cannot receive or transmit. Swap radios. Its in the same spot, so we cycle the antenna selector switch from top to bottom. It works.

Turns out, the contractors had broken a foamflex line that runs under the floorboards in the cargo bay. Foamflex is a straight up EVIL thing. Its basically hollow coax inside a somewhat bendable metal shield with hard plastic around the conductor.

It is a PITA to bend that crap, and we had to replace the ENTIRE length running from the 245 wall (right behind the flight deck) to just behind the upper antenna.

While we're at it, we should ban all German and Japanese players too, since they're really good at the world domination game, right?

Side note: OMG Goons and Norms talkin and conversin like it's ok! The madness! The approachable non offensive madness!

goons are misunderstood creatures

hating them to be hip or edgy because HURR GOONZ is just silly. Hating them because you made the wrong people mad and you couldnt keep them away from your stuff is entirely reasonable, although still your fault.

In my extensive experience with the goons, outside of their established agenda, they are entirely harmless until provoked. So if you're going to act like a butthead don't cry when they force feed you your own medicine, and if you take the internet too seriously and treat others poorly because of it, don't be surprised when you get harassed for a reaction.

such is life in the zone..

In early 2010, a GoonSwarm director and leader of Goonfleet named karttoon bored with his position kicked all corporations of GoonSwarm except for the wallet holding corp and holding corp, and transferred the alliance and Goonfleet funds that he had access to, totalling upwards of 150 billion ISK in cash and around 300 billion ISK in assets into his own wallet.

We've seen this once already. to be fair, please stop spamming the thread with the same stuff.

And we don't care. Considering Goonswarm is doing a-ok right now on EvE, this really didn't do much except for the exact same thing we did to BoB.

Back to Radars, Aircraft, and Crazy Enlisted and Officers yammering away about our past.
