Looks like the 115th fighter wing out of Madison has posted a UPT board! Open for current military members only though. So for anyone able to apply check it out! If you google “115th fighter wing upt” the posting comes up.

That "independent contractor" may have gone through previous years of upheaval, pay cuts, mergers, and a BK. Those hired in the last 14 years have only experienced pay raises and bonus checks unheard of in the past.

I like this post—and I agree with you on the two major parties. Where we often differ is on the actual issues themselves. One more point about the parties: They have both gone further left/right, respectively compared to years past, but if you compare the Dems of the 80s and 90s to today vs the GOP of the 80s and 90s to today, I think it’s safe to say one has definitely moved further than the other. Elon Musk pointed out the same issue not too long ago, and though the meme isn’t entirely accurate, it does make the point.

lost? i disagree. didn't you just witness the most magical and successful airlift in HUMAN HISTORY!?!? what a glorious operation! /s sorry for thread derail...i'd love to fly a TW again too. hope they invest good TW training for the aircrew! maybe push shopping carts backwards at walmart

Omg I about barfed in my mouth on career day in UPT where the dude with a 20# beer gut said "we are pretty much the Navy SEALS of the sky."

A bit of BO.net lore, but if only we had some “spec ops fighter pilots” around that could fill this niche role. I’ve heard bqzips mom could be cadre.

I'd put $5 on the MC-145 being the winner, at least initially (before what sounds like an inevitable dispute by another bidder). Has actual austere landing capability, cargo ramp/door if you want to carry things, AFSOC already has previous experience with the platform. And perhaps most importantly....drum roll....it's the platform that LOOKS closet to a -130, which unfortunately carries a lot of sway with important people on the third floor. Caveat: I'm in no way involved or associated with AO.

The continuing impact of uber liberalism is dystopian. I thought the actions of Los Angeles County DA George Gascon was insanity, but New York clearly said hold my beer. A career criminal comes into a store with his girlfriend and tries to buy some chips but his card has no money. Angered he goes behind the counter and starts to beat up the owner saying he wants the chips for free. The owner fights back and stabs the thief who ultimately dies. George Soros funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charges the owner with murder and sets a $250,000 bail. The thief's girlfriend stabs the owner five times and she is not charged with anything. WTF is happening to this country?
