On a lighter note, just saw Tron Legacy in 3D and Imax this weekend. The movie wasn't bad at all, but the special effects/sound/etc. in 3D and on the huge Imax screen made it worth the $11 hands down. YMMV.

Smaller versions of these things are going up all over theater. As usual, Air Force leadership has no long term vision and has completely ignored this program. Flying jets is more fun, got it, but I really wish they would understand that protecting the jet mission means doing less glamorous stuff like UAS and blimps also. The Army found a way to provide continous ISR coverage from the air without us...way to go blue.

Actually, he's pretty spot on as far as the schism. Why are traditional pilots so anti-RPA? Ego? Childhood dreams? I don't know. It's a large part of the future, so sooner or later they'll have to accept that fact.

Look man, the Air Force is axing people left and right and are just looking for reasons to get rid of people right now. That being said I was investigated for disenrollment one year ago and they approved me to stay in. What I did was get letters of rec from every Cadet in my class (300's at that time) and a letter of rec from the teacher whose class I failed. All the teacher wrote was that I tried my hardest or some bullshit, but it helped. Getting a lot of people on your side and who agree that you are an asset to the Air Force is key. The circumstances were different when I was investigated, and the class I failed did not affect my graduation plan, but this is from personal experience and fortunately everything worked out for me.
