Somebody had to post it..

Follow up on a post I made 10 years ago... about an event that took place 17 years ago. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/killer-at-70000-feet-117615369/ Dave Russell was instrumental in this event while he was the U-2 squadron commander. Dave was laid to rest a couple hours ago. He died much too young following a 4-year fight with Multiple Myeloma... a plasma cell cancer. Dave owned HighFlyer Arms, a specialty gun store in Warrenton Virginia, and I believe the family will keep the store going. https://www.highflyerarms.com/ To Super Dave...

From where it isn't.

Medical experts, Intel experts, border experts....seems to be a recurring theme on one side of the aisle.

See AFMAN 34-135 Table 3.1

How does the missile know where it is though?

Good thing he slapped that thing down before it released it's payload.

Let me give you an example of the bullshit dealt with just this week. For context, the member is activated stateside, but away from home. This is real life in the military... Finance: Sir, one of your members has an unauthorized purchase on his GTC. Me: What did he buy? *thinking this dude went to a strip joint* Finance: He bought a fishing license with his GTC. Me: *OK this dude clearly isn't as cool as I thought, but fishing is fun too...just not as fun as strippers* Me: *laughs then thinks....oh shit, this guy is serious.* Me: Does he have per diem to cover it? Finance: Yes. Me: Ok, then what's the problem? Finance: It's not an authorized purchase location? Me: Can I authorize it as his CC? Finance: Ummm.... Me: I mean, the dude could have done a cash advance for the same amount, right? Finance: Yes Me: Then he could have walked from that ATM with said cash and bought said item, right? Finance: Yes Me: ...and that's authorized? Finance: Yes Me: ...............silence.......... Finance: ............silence............ Me: the why the fuck are we having this conversation? Finance: The purchase location on his GTC isn't authorized. Me: But an ATM at the same location would have been fine? Finance: Yes sir. Me: *stares through phone muthafuckingly* Me: How much are we talking here. Finance: $25 dollars. Me: $%$%#&#*#((# Finance: Sir? Me: OK, what do you need? Finance: I need this form filled out, which requires an investigation. Me: WTF? Over $25, that is more than covered by his per diem? Finance: Yes sir...we have to have it for the auditors. Me: Can I just send you a memo that says it's good to go? Finance: No sir, the auditor requires this form. Me: Sure, I'll just clear my schedule of that unimportant shit like flying and launch an investigation into this great travesty that will certainly bankrupt the AF! Finance: Is that some kind of joke, we weren't issued a sense of humor at finance school (ok, that part might be made up...10% rule applies). So I spent a morning "investigating" a $25 purchase, where my comments were a veiled, I can't believe you made me do this and this is basically fraud waste and abuse of my time. Meanwhile, at DAL... Stuck out in a wx event where I can't get ahold of anyone from the company, and without any approvals/questions/forms filled out (gasp). I slap my credit card down for 2 cabs and 5 hotel rooms for the crew at the nicest hotel I can find. On the way to the airport the next day, I file the receipts with a note saying that we got stuck and I procured transportation/lodging for my crew. I was never questioned and paid out within a few days. Crazy talk, I know!

Both.

By subtraction or addition?

Do you understand the phrase 'imaging seeker"?

In your defense the FAIP MAFIA wasn't really established in your day. See below for Pic of Huggy completing BIP.

Dude, if you’re exercise is in PACAF then welcome to the priority AOR. Where they can justify paying you $13/day at Eielson because you’re on CED orders. If you don’t want to share a room on TDY then you can just stay home.

There are a whole lot of "medical experts" that need a good bitch slap and told to just shut the fuck up next time.

Already done! Got my retirement order yesterday. I just have another 1.5 months left on this activation, then I'm a ghost until my fini this summer. I'm actually quite shocked at how easy/fast the process was to apply for retirement and get my order. All told, I think I spent 10 minutes to fill out the request, then the order showed up a week later. If only the VA process was as easy...

You don’t say?!

...sarcasm but not really...good point...

Guys stop talking about classified material /s

Every day is shut the fuck up Friday. No one on your side will ever read you your rights.

Don’t forget about Sepp Kuss on Jumbo! Already has a stage win from 2021 Tour and two Vuelta stages. None last year in the Tour, but was a huge part of Vingegaard‘s win.

Depends on your base
