What a weird way to visibly show people you voted for Kamala.

That’s $2.5B of weapons out of our stockpiles, not cash. The money goes to defense contractors.

One of the coolest helicopter scenes made by Hollywood. Kinda gives a guy a quarter chub.

It's almost like we should end our extensive, poorly-functioning drug testing regime and actually just focus on the relatively few people who are causing problems with their substance abuse (drugs & also alcohol) rather than regularly collecting gallons of piss from > 35 year old career officers & NCOs... Just don't ask about the 3x Zyns I have shoved up my butthole so I don't fall asleep on another Mids shift 😇

He did turn the program around but they are not the powerhouse he professes the, to be. He made a stink about not being in the playoff and got stomped by BYU in the Alamo Bowl. With regard to the Heisman...that was all hype. Is Travis Hunter a good player, yes. However his number are mediocre. he can thank the Coach Prime Hype machine for his trophy. Travis Hunter Offense: 92 catches, 1,152 yards, 14 touchdowns; two carries, five yards, one touchdown Defense: 31 tackles, 11 pass breakups, four interceptions, one forced fumble Ashton Jeanty Rushing: 344 carries, 2,497 yards, 29 touchdowns, 7.3 yards per carry Receiving: 20 catches, 116 yards, one touchdown Dillon Gabriel Passing: 297 of 406 passing (73.2%), 3,558 yards, 8.8 yards per attempt, 28 touchdowns, six interceptions Rushing: 63 carries,192 yards, seven touchdowns Cam Ward Passing: 293 of 435 passing (67.4%), 4,123 yards, 9.5 yards per attempt, 36 touchdowns, seven interceptions Rushing: 58 carries, 196 yards, four touchdowns Receiving: One catch, 7 yards, one touchdown

@ClearedHot Please tell me that d-bag 1 star has his name spread everywhere and is blackballed at every airline and industry business.

“Sorry guys, we can’t afford more flying hours because we have to spend trillions on meaningless shit. Do more with less, aim high!” - Some asshat 4 star

I'm guessing that guy doesn't watch Seinfeld? Or the general for that matter...

I have a bunch of houses and they would only insure one on Florida which started us down a bad path. Kept them for primary residence and they were going up but it was the car insurance that went through the roof. No accidents or tickets for 35 years. When we put our teen driver on they wanted $600 a month and that was with the good student discount. Called Auto Owners the next day, saved 40% and dropped USAA. Screw them!

Have a bro who had his career ended by a poppy seed muffin. Dude was a stud aviator, carried the bag for a four star, multiple BPZ and was a genuine humble great human. He popped positive and a brand new One Star made it his mission in life to end him. He fought it and won...sort of. His JAG had the sample retested and they were able to prove the amount was minute, he even had the Sam's Club receipt for the muffins. Said One Star kept him in a holding pattern for two years and he lost his OG slot. He punched at 21 years and went to industry then started his own company. Now a Multi-millionaire so he won in the end....but USAF lost a great leader.

Absolutely need more flying hours, as most of the young guy issues are lacking airmanship and decision making skills (specifically decision making while handling an aircraft in a real, dynamic environment…e.g. cannot be replicated in a sim). From a tactical proficiency perspective, we need sims to take a 6-9 year leap yesterday. 5G perspective: In a perfect world we’d train to missionized stuff primarily in the sim environment and do primarily part-task training in live fly. Bottom line: more flying needed, but also need meaningful sim training environments that are accessible daily at the wing level.

You're not new, you know this song and dance already. They have a retention self-created "problem" due to crap QOL post-UFT ADSC and people becoming older heads of household. By proxy that becomes a production problem, because they decided to fill the gaps with new accessions instead of addressing the original self-created problem, full stop. The real problem for them is that they also don't have the political capital to make undergraduate pilot training (an enterprise already scoffed at as scutwork by many within the combat coded echelons, ACC/11Fs in particular) a capitalization priority, but the Pharaoh demands more brick. Boeing being a malicious MIC grifter doesn't help matters on that effort. This thing should have been COTS solved 5 years ago (and it would have, both COTS solutions were plug and play and operational for DECADES). At any rate, in the absence of political capital, all you can do is kabuki dance. So in comes the sophistry: "CRAFT""VR""UPT NEXT""Innovate!". Then the secondary effort to strawman objective critics of the obvious, as anachronistic malcontents that are getting in the way of progress (that's yours truly and company btw). That's how you get the current status quo. An enterprise dead set in fixing a retention problem they created, by digging themselves into a production problem they can't control, via diluting the quality control of the product and insist you don't dare say publicly they are. Then wash their hands when the core competency and loss rate of the grey jets become too public for the senior management in the DC swamp to stomach. Since this COA exceeds the median VML cycle, it's plausibly deniable. None of this is conjecture, it's my lived experience since oh say, fiscal '18? Through all the jokes, the meme witchhunts on instagram, the non-judicial punishments, and all the banter on here about the leadership changes you highlight, they have been the most emphatic about never tolerating the utterance that these SGTO evolutions are a dilution of quality. Most RegAF just doesn't have that corporate memory because they PCS too frequently. But Pepperdige Farms (AFRC) remembers. The all-contractor wet dream they've always had is also DOA, because Congress won't let them touch the pork earmarked for the aforementioned localities. So we're stuck in this morass, and more young guys will end up dead for it, before somebody finally tells HAF to KIO and addresses the capitalization of this enterprise with the gravitas it deserves.

I've read two first hand accounts being passed around. Wild and high SA to pull the handle prior to the SM2 fuzing. LOL @ "A dude pulls a Penny Benjamin," "I immediately commit myself in the 5 wet to try to get a kill with the 9x in the big girl," "Then I remembered I had a zyn can in my G suit pocket. Pulled it out and put the remaining 3 salt water soaked zyns in my mouth and high fived the rescue swimmer."

Really, Azerbaijan Airlines backed Russia into this corner. They have no one but themselves to blame. If they weren't flying airplanes to Grozny, the Russians wouldn't have felt the need to defend themselves. /s

The meme's about this are epic, but only because the bros are okay. There are first hand accounts being shared for the 5 wet Hornet driver (the dude and his trunk monkey that punched) and the next dude in trail getting shot at too (didn't punch). I think the hornets should start calling Magnum on the radio with destroyer bullseyes, just to f' with em. Side note - preliminary reports indicate all personnel involved were complete with Cyber Awareness and SAPR training. Stand by for new anti-frat CBT.

Turn about is fair play... so let the Air Wing sink a ship.
