@WTFAF As I’ll continue to say, if we were as bad at our jobs as they are at theirs, there’d be about 5 pilots over 25 yo still alive, and the Euro “air show-only” air forces would look like rockstar tacticians compared to us. Thank God we actually give a fuck about succeeding and not being miserable failures.

denigrating an alleged rape victim because her trauma isn't traumatic enough for you or fits your personal threshold is a new low.

It's wild that, in trying to embrace gender diversity, the left is actually pushing all the gender stereotypes that past generations of feminists tried to get rid of.

Everyone's the same color under IR

Exactly...and there is still the perception. A lot of damage was done.

there is still A LOT of crow to be eaten from the vax enthusiasts on this site...

When Hunter smokes crack, he turns into Russell Crowe's character John Nash in a beautiful mind. However, instead of calculating mathematics in his head like Nash, he films himself banging crack whores. Smartest dude I know.

chang is not a troll he's a well placed flag officer...

General Chang is Fingers Goldfien? Finkel is Einhorn

Maybe this is their version of the Doolittle Raid.

FY21. Apparently they're not having too much trouble filling slots on the production side as there's always a ton of prior enlisted that want to fly and would be going to 20 anyway after a few years enlisted. There was a lot of youth in their last 2 mid-airs. "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong."

"The Cold War: What We Saw" narrated by Bill Whittle is excellent. He also did "Apollo: What We Saw" about the space race. Also excellent. You might be able to find them outside the Daily wire.

But the slides are green? Where's the problem? Lol. Edit. When I flew, I remember looking to the left and right of me and not seeing a bunch of green haired lady men. Also, I remember seeing terrorists, they were burning lol.

Vax is no longer required for usafa. Get your apps in!

If we don't know where we're going, we can get there faster...it's all by design.

To help fix the retention problem we lowered our standards...so we got that going for us. According to three separate professional staffers I recently spoke with, applicants to U.S. service academies are down 70% with the vaccine requirement and DEI being cited as the number 1 and 2 issues.

I think Chang needs to reveal himself upon retirement. Until then, keep enjoying the guessing game. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

This is the same guy that said Hunter is the smartest person he knows which should really worry the rest of the freedom loving planet.

Then you did it right. Well done sir

What a complete Douche...turns his back on his own grandchild.

We have a company man over here... That almost happened to me as I tried jumping from Army to Air Force in 2019. They were adding 2-3 year commitments to dudes trying to jump ship just for going to a 2-week AFE course at Rucker. One guy got suckered into attending a 2-week advanced course and got hit with a 2 year ADSO. Made a huge deal about it, and tried to get his congressman involved... but in the end, the army sent him to Fort Polk Louisiana to be an LNO. Had to turn down a slot with a C-130 guard unit. I guess I was at the right place and time because they are now forcing dudes to sign a 10-year contract out of Rucker when it used to be 6. I feel even worse for these commission dudes. Their flying days are over because the army is a warrant officers world. Having to continue their existence in an aviation unit but not being able to fly... while doing all the bitch work WOs don't want to do while because of "flying". Somebody needs to write those awards and keep track of those trackers. But remember to color code the trackers correctly, becuase the COL doesn't actually read them. He just looks at colors and the color red is very bad. Green is very good. Yellow is questionable.

Come on you right wing conspiracy nuts the trannies and bone-smugglers aren’t grooming/targeting your kids.

sorry guys, not going into more detail.

Good to hear someone has balls to make the call at least every once in a while. Sounds like a douche getting exactly what was coming his way.

Oh it's been noted. I'll leave this PSA on here for those getting ideas from said demographic you highlight: We recently FEB'd an 11F from PIT. Most people in this enterprise know how statistically outlier that is, if they have been doing this longer than a tour. And the reasons for that being the COA have much more to do with outlook and attitude, than any intent on the part of 19th to make an example out of anyone. This is unprecedented, especially given the background. BL, let it be a warning, approaching a formal AETC course like this is either beneath you or not about you, is not going to get you back to "your fighter". A real bum's bet to even think AETC would go for something like that. Yet some fucked around and found out. In the words of Alonzo

Years ago I was a guest of the FSB (former KGB), on a formal senior military exchange and had several official meetings (and an epic lunch meeting which included shots of vodka and cognac), at their headquarters in Moscow. They have what was at the time a classified museum in the headquarters and I was given a private tour. I asked and was allowed to take this picture. In the case is wreckage from Francis Gary Powers U-2, his pressure suit, items he was carrying and a portion of his parachute.

You're really @ClearedHot's alternate login, right?

You had your epic troll moment years ago. Don’t sully your legacy.

AF saw this and (put on your tin foil hat) decided to delete MyPers and all its ADSC records database

I disagree From the article “In letters the Army sent this month to the affected aviators as well as to members of Congress, which were obtained by NBC News, it said it “realized” after conducting a “legal review of this policy” that the three-year BRADSO requirement has to be served separately.” I don’t think they knew. I would put money on the fact that, when they signed up, they asked if this commitment would be concurrent and I would put money on the fact that some personnel NCOs said yes. How many times have you talked to someone at MPF and gotten a confidently wrong answer from someone and gone with it only to find out later that the info was incorrect? I can give you multiple examples of personnel inconsistencies When I was awarded a Nav slot in 1994, the commitment had changed from 5 to 6 years. I had to cross out every 5 in my contract, change it to a 6 and initial it. One of my friends was at a Det that didn’t do that. Guess what? She got out at the 5 year mark. My kid was told in Jan 2021 that he could commission into the ANG from ROTC in 2021 under the Bow Wave program. Everyone was on board, he found a unit and got hired…then in April 2021 A1 ended the program and didn’t tell anyone…not the gaining state recruiters, not the ROTC det, not the unit. They did all the paperwork to submit in May only for AFPC to say “sorry, that program is over, the moose out front should have told you.” I could go on and on. So to make a blanket sweeping generalization that every single one of these aviators read a contract that apparently the entire Army didn’t even understand and they all need to man up? It’s another case of the member getting screwed and the incompetent bureaucrats run free. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

With the constant stream of bitching from this site with the force ran by straight white male fighter pilots, maybe it’s time to put the gay Jewish black chick tanker pilot in there. This is obviously satire. No way a Tanker pilot should be CSAF.

Rumor mill: subdermal GTC chips to be tested in military personnel soon.

Good old George McFly. That was the gnarliest haircut ever worn by a military officer. I saw him one time out of uniform several years before he was the CSAF. I was drunk by a pool during an ATA event, we were supposed to be going to meetings but a fellow boom and myself decided to get day drunk (I loved being a boom) and he (haircut) walked by in civies. I started to make fun of him outloud before someone let me know he was a general. This was a few years before he was the CSAF. Lol. Edit: I thought he was a hotel worker with special needs.

Imagine how horrible it would be when you prove them all right by doing a mediocre job. Or worse, focusing on DEI instead of solving other actual problems.

Uh oh -- what's the first rule again?

Behold lads and lasses, a legend is born with the best Selfie ever! Free beers for life my friend!

Or how about we reward their skills and preparation by giving them more solo flight time with the training blocks that would otherwise be flushed in a PA? Let’s not short students flight time and experience that is too low already.

Chem, Relax and enjoy the next 9 months, because beginning in May you're going to be busting your butt for about 3 years to become fully qualified in whatever aircraft you end up in. The AF will teach you what you need to know, and IMHO you're honestly not going to gain much by studying ahead of time. If you're hardover on studying ahead of time, go to the AF Pubs website, search for AFMAN 11-217, and start reading...just remember most of what you read will not apply to anything you're going to do at UPT.
