  1. Add: Form 8s need to meet promotion boards so douchers who are incompetent in the jet stop getting promoted, ultimately making decisions for the flying community. I know OPRs should cover all leadership and potential leadership qualities, but your performance in your actual, no shit job (NOT SELO, ADO, BS with inflated numbers) can be quantified on a check ride and tell their own story about one's personal performance. I have personally seen (and I am sure many can relate) Mr. Repeat Q3 who no one wants to fly with, yet has all squares filled get promoted over a very good, never worse than Q1 IP who didn't get the Masters.

  2. Sounds like they're just copying from ACC's RTM drafts for next year.

  3. To be fair, I think matmac might be using this as a SA building exercise...

  5. Playing Devil's advocate...if it is so fucking awesome to be a fighter pilot, why are so many leaving? I think that is the core of the issue this reporter is trying to address.

  6. Well excuse me for not checking IDs at the door. After reading two of your posts now, I'm absolutely positive you're an inbred meathed who thinks this... was meant for you, and have no doubt you really believe that this... is what people are "retarded" enough to think is behind your pathetic internet avatar. Nice sig by the way, "The average fighter pilot, despite his sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of feelings such as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else" Anyone you know? Except for the swag, you fit the profile. And just so I am absolutely clear on what I think of you... Your self image https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/bunk22/mav4.jpg Probably closer to the truth https://img357.imageshack.us/img357/1658/pukerwhole8ka.jpg

  7. IDK, I'm in the "equality crowd" and I don't really want any of our guys (or gals) fighting their way in to a target. Surprise & speed > gun battle. Generally works out better that way anyways WRT actually getting the target. I've heard of this for some time, is this really new or just new on the SF side?

  8. Eh...I am willing to give them a pass since they said "Women Special Operators." If you are in ops and assigned to USSOCOM, you are a special operator or SOF to me. Special operators conduct special operations, what else would you call it? Being an "Operator" colloquially is obviously very different and I don't think the article implied that they were breaking necks or bear crawling up mountains like the bigfoot-ninjas we have out there. And if it was slightly on the sensational side, it's a headline, that's the idea I guess... Overall, good on these ladies because debriefing/searching the chicks on the objective can be extremely valuable in a situation like this one where the primary target (senior IMU guy) put on a burka in an attempt to escape.
