[slides chips across the felt] All of it on the little Jewish country.

This Onion headline seems similar to the the current situation in Syria.

"1980 called. It wants its Cold War back." President Barack Obama, 2012 debate Infamous "reset" button with SecState Hillary Clinton to Russian Foreign Minister "I'll have more room to maneuver once I've won re-election." President Obama to President Medvedev And, the winning entry, the Obama Administration knew of the Russian shenanigans but chose not to react because it didn't want to affect the outcome of the 2016 election. Meaning to cast any shadow on a Hillary win. And what, exactly, do any of you propose to thump Vlad and Company? Finally, ditto to the GOP of today. Democrat-lite and toothless when it comes to getting anything done that it promised, campaigned on, and most importantly, to them, raised money from.. Which is I why I wrote and told 'em to pack sand. There is no difference between the parties; we are paying for their livin' large lifestyles. A pox on 'em both.

Meanwhile a spending plan has been approved that'll cost us a trillion dollars in new debt. But don't worry Republicans have announced a plan to pretend to be fiscally conservative again the moment a Democrat takes office.

In mine, we had a logistics girl who hung all her home station awards in her room then invited us down to see them. She then accused the pilots of cheating because we had the highest test scores. But the kicker was the girl who cried after failing two tests and saying she didn’t understand how she could be doing so poorly as she had been CGO of the year at LA AFB. Shoe flag is highly educational to see/understand “some” of your fellow officers and why shit is so broken in the USAF.

Time to activate these guys. https://politics.theonion.com/clinton-deploys-very-special-forces-to-iraq-1819565019/amp

You should just go in-res. Be that guy that shows up day one, pretends like SOS is gay, and tells everyone you’re just there to have a good time, but secretly tries really really hard in a passive aggressive way to get DG.

By using the term "Warrior Monk" ironically, I think it can be concluded that your post constitutes berating with the intent of belittling or humiliating through the use of an electronic device and social media. An investigation shall commence within 5 days. Expect prevention and response reeducation for your entire unit following shortly thereafter.

I'm reading your post with a giant question mark over my head. What extra special insight have have you suddenly been granted while waiting in the OTS pipeline (whatever that is) that's allowed you to witness all this incompetence on the part of the AD USAF? You've spent 4 years in your current position and felt a strong enough call to seek out the OTS/UPT opportunity while somehow remaining unaware of the faults of the USAF? Now that you've been selected, what's changed? Do OTS candidates get on some kind of "Here's all the dumb shit we're doing in the USAF" newsletter mailing list or are you being brought into top secret Lockheed meetings you previously had been left out of? Seriously, what exactly are the "one disaster after another" you have been able to personally witness that's created this level of doubt? I'm not saying there's not plenty of issues with the AD USAF. Generally speaking, those issues don't rise to the level of pain required to make someone consider bailing on the AD until they're a mid-level O-3 approaching the end of their UPT service commitment. You usually don't see that low a pain tolerance in a brand new butter bar never mind a civilian who hasn't even started day-one or raised his hand and taken the oath. Go fly USAF airplanes - fighters if you can. The ANG is a great option if you can swing it without porking away the bird you already have in your hand. But, either way, spend your younger years doing one of the best jobs this country has to offer. Yes, there's a price to pay to do it, sometimes a really big price. I seriously doubt you'll find too many guys here who feel their choice was a mistake.

Why no one other than the left listens to the left: “If you don’t think Trump helped the Russians hack the election you must love Russia and Putin ”..goes with..”you want a secure border, you must hate Mexicans”..or..”you are against illegal immigrants, you must hate all immigrants who ever came here”....”you didn’t like Hillary, you’re sexist!” I’m middle of the road, don’t like the dems or GOP diehards, but the left has gone full retard all over the map whereas at least my GOP friends were predictable in their “Obama wants my guns” argument.

Drewpey, do you think this antogonistic approach makes anyone want to listen or engage? This is an Internet forum for discussion. Going guns hot on bros with a different perspective is antithetical to discussion.

I found out I got picked up on 13 Feb last year while driving home from work. The rest of the timeline checks, and I had a RIP within 2 weeks for both MFS and UPT Good luck to all of you that applied

Saw Downsized last night. Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I want my 1.5 hours of my life back.

Democrats were wrong. As was Bush before them. We've given them plenty of opportunity, but Russia has demonstrated they cannot be trusted time and again. We should work to exile them, starting with enforcing the overwhelming bipartisan sanctions that were approved by the House and Senate. Spread the Magnitsky Act around the world, and turn the oligarchs into the pariahs they long to be. Keep squeezing until something changes.

who doesn't love some 7-party FUBAR'd proxy war this time of year? *cue Louis Armstrong What a Wonderful World tune*

That was the original plan but they upgraded it to a flat top receiver, free float 10.5 barrel with a flash hider, and a 9 inch rail. It also has some weird folding pistol grip but that isn't needed when it's not in a seat kit.

Coolest BBQ grill in Lebanon.

Did Trump urinate on that bed? I just want to understand this: every time Obama's bed is micturated upon in the fair city of Moscow, Trump is expected to recompensate?

He was a flight engineer and was 38 at the time, his idea was to delay as long as possible, "She is a smoker and I will out last that bitch"...Savage.

were you issued a Garand? (just busting balls)

Save some of that tongue lashing for self reflection. Pass a fucking budget.

I bet 90% of those parked in the desert would start right back up. You’d just need to have someone there to bounce on the wing a couple of times during engine start.

Can they call it Ministry of Vigilance so we can be more Orwellian about it?

In the interests of being kind and considerate to my wife who will go to my movies, I took her and my home from college daughter to see The Greatest Showman. Fully expected to get an Elton John/Vegas Cirque du Soliel/Disneyesque type flick and I wasn't disappointed. As the Mrs was a former Tops In Blue performer (I'm not kidding and no, that wasn't a good use of O-3 pay, but it was also well before we met) and my daughter is a professional dancer (ballet, not the pole), the song/dance thing was for them; I can endure. What I didn't expect, and really hated, was the relentless social justice message. Not just an obligatory insertion of the "we're all equal despite being freaks" scene, but from nearly start to finish. If anyone else has the misfortune to see this film, I'd argue you can update your various Green Dot training/CBTs. At least the movie got a happy ending. Looks like all I'm getting is a Jamison's and water...

Don't kid yourself. No matter what you fly, everyone is supporting someone else's mission.

If you've never landed on a dirt LZ, feel free to stay off that topic. HD

not sure if this applies to all flights but they have call sign nights now to let the shoes feel like they're a part of the team

I love this one. The C-17 is amazing, but if landing distance becomes the greatest part of anyone's job, I appologize sincerely. HA! Ok now that's funny!
