Ok then. I'll just wait and see when the "promotion" will come. It would feel better to be an "officer" in this forum. :D :D :D

Ok I will chill out but just for the record this is my first time that I have entered a forum. So this is a new experience for me.
So I am pretty excited.

By the way, now that you have mentioned the pictures posting, do you have any idea on how to add pictures?? I have asked in the past but the answers I got were not clear and I still not know on how to add pictures. If you do know could you please help me here??

post pic on this forum?

first upload your pic to an open website, or album that can be view by others.

then copy the direct link and place it between:



example:

[IM]http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/ubb/logo.gif[/IM]

(replace [IM] with [img],%20[/IM]%20with[/img] in that example)

To post pictures you have to upload the pictures to a website. If you don't have a website of your own.. you can upload to diffrent servers around the net that can "host" the picture for you.

As example http://pacific.photoisland.com

Once you have created a username. you can upload your picture.

To get your picture to show up on a forum you have to link the picture to the "host"
(URL to the picture) that is what you set in between the commands

Finally guys I have managed to add a picture although I am limited to pictures which are small in size. Anyway I am glad that it finally worked. Do you know any sides that can upload pictures which are greater than 32KB, because that is my limit.

The way I see it, we have FNGs, Trainers, Copilots, Pilots, etcetera. What we don't have is Crew Chiefs, and there-in lies the problem. Crew Chiefs know everything and can accomplish any task with nothing more than a right handed cresent wrench, safety wire pliers, BIG hammer and a gallon of prop wash. For heavy lifting add a sky hook and 50 feet of flight line. Given enough time a Crew Chief can make a Jeep fly. They do not work cheap. Anything you ask a Crew Chief to do will cost you a case of beer. Any job done by a Crew Chief, Airman Second Class to Tech Sargeant will be don and done right. You can bet your butt on it.

Who can't post pics, but can be very long winded.
