Bet it will combine all the magic of the T-7, 737, kc-46 and rocket programs they've been rocking.

5 years from now on BO… ”Who had 30 billion over budget and no planes yet built?”

Bud, this isn't that complicated. And you can't just throw quid pro quo around like it's some sort of all-covering Boogeyman. If I pay you to build me a fence, that's a quid pro quo. If instead of giving you money I decide to offer you flying lessons, that's still a quid pro quo. You don't have to like it, but the government is well within its rights to include a certain amount of charity work in exchange for a contract. As long as the law firm has the option to say no, which all the articles you're citing have plenty of examples of law firms that are refusing, then it's not extortion. Where was all the righteous indignation from these law firms when the government was requiring vendors to have a certain number of women or minorities as founders or executives? Suspiciously silent. I have every confidence that a law firm as prestigious as Weiss can survive without federal cheese. And if they can't, like so many other vendors that are about to be DOGE'd, they will adapt or die. This firm chose, voluntarily, to accept the president's offer. His quid pro quo, if you will. 😂 Of course it's not good for the country, but it's just fun watching the progressives roll around on the ground like they're on fire now that their own tactics of the last couple decades are being used against them. They got so comfortable with this one-sided game that they forgot how to lose, and the meltdown has been spectacular.

I knew that was coming. Keep digging. Do you see the difference between buying a product and then doing whatever you want with YOUR property and not affecting other peoples property? You don't have to do what you're doing. You can just say "man, I sure do hate what Elon's doing and hope his companies go under and that he suffers a horrible death. Also, fucking with property that isn't yours is fucked up and shouldn't be tolerated." I actually did buy the dip, thanks for asking. Cyber truck is a bit much but I did take a gander at the used tesla market. Saw lots of older models but very few 2022 and newer.

AD selects typically get filled faster than others because of the timeline and other things like potential promotions. But they don't have everything set up that far in advance. One the Board rack and stacks, it's up to AFPC to certify the results, get the amount of selects, and then get releases from the CFMs. Then they can release the results and start working with other parts of AFPC and AETA for PCS and class dates. It's a whole dance that we probably don't give them enough credit for.

Yeah, I too remember the days when Budweiser factories were razed and their trucks full of sweet barley water were vandalized and destroyed :).

Boeing got the NGAD contract before we got GTA 6 smh.

We aren’t putting up with your shit anymore!!!

Concur I wish this could spread to other requirements/acquisitions Good enough is good enough, good enough plus quickly delivered at a reasonable cost is great.

......just when you think the narcissism and cult-like worship couldn't possibly get any more ridiculous. If it does turn out to totally fail to deliver on its promises, at least it'll live up to its namesake.

Didn’t progressives tell us for several years to buy Teslas to stop “climate change”?

Simulators only do what they're programmed to do. It may not match what the airplane will do. Anyway, step it up till you get the red screen😀

Only 5 yrs?

Frankly I’m glad Boeing won over LM - we all hated LM’s. Timeline and programmatic fuckery will happen with either company anyways. 10-15 years before that thing is combat capable - sad, but I don’t think I’ll be proven wrong unless some serious changes are made to our acquisitions process.

Extortion. That’s the word you’re looking for. Quid pro quo, also applies. Quit acting like Trump’s behavior is above board. Edit to add: twitter and tmz are the only appropriate news sources for this reality show he’s running to pad his portfolio.

I think they ordered it off Temu (before the tariffs went into effect)

“Mostly peaceful”

This was ten days ago, and I'm sure the numbers are still climbing. Just for the mathematically challenged, nearly 85% were criminal aliens and if you include the fact they were illegally in the country in the first place, that number goes to 100%! Massive ICE operation nabs nearly 650 illegal aliens in Texas, over 80% with criminal charges or convictions HOUSTON – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in conjunction with federal, state and local law enforcement, arrested 646 undocumented aliens – including 543 criminal aliens and seven documented gang members – during a week-long targeted enforcement operation conducted between Feb. 23 and March 2 in the Houston area to bolster public safety, national security, and border security. During the operation, ICE and its partners executed 71 criminal arrest warrants and arrested 543 undocumented aliens who have been charged or convicted of a criminal offense while they were illegally present in the U.S. including: 140 criminal aliens charged or convicted of an aggravated felony or other violent offense such as homicide, aggravated assault, or domestic violence. 34 criminal aliens charged or convicted of a sex offense or child sex offense such as aggravated sexual assault of a minor, possession of child pornography, or rape. 38 criminal aliens convicted of illegal firearms offenses such as unlawful carrying of a firearm, alien in possession of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm. 52 criminal aliens charged or convicted of illicit narcotics offenses such as drug trafficking, or possession of a controlled substance. 51 criminal aliens charged or convicted of property crimes such as burglary or theft. 93 criminal aliens charged or convicted of driving while intoxicated. “In recent years, some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives, transnational gang members and criminal aliens have taken advantage of the crisis at our nation’s southern border to illegally enter the U.S.,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford. “After illegally entering the country, many of these criminal aliens have gone on to commit violent crime and reign terror on law-abiding residents. Fueled by our unwavering commitment to protect the public from harm, and united in our determination to restore integrity to our nation’s system of laws, ICE and our law enforcement partners in Southeast Texas have banded together to remove these dangerous criminal aliens from our local communities and put an end to the lawlessness that they spread.” “In just one week working alongside our counterparts from federal, state and local law enforcement, ICE HSI special agents successfully executed 71 criminal arrest warrants and made 554 administrative arrests that included illegally present human smugglers, gang members, human traffickers, child sex offenders, drug traffickers and weapons traffickers,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations Houston Special Agent in Charge Chad Plantz. “These collective efforts have made our local communities significantly safer and strengthened our national security and border security. As a result, we’ve sent a resounding message to transnational criminal organizations everywhere that the law enforcement community in the Texas Gulf Coast is more united than ever and will not rest until we’ve eradicated these criminal elements from the country.”

Fake news. Literally. There is: Hilarious. I'm sorry, does the federal government have an obligation to pay for the services of a law firm... just because? They were not "targeted" by the executive order, the executive decided to end a services agreement with them based on their actions. Then they changed their actions in order to satisfy their customer, the government, and now they have their customer back. It might be less stressful for you if you tried getting your news from somewhere other than Twitter.

I am here at KDLF now. They do have separate Captains dorms that they initially say you are required to move into. However I know several people who got it waived and lived either off base or in base housing to have pets with them. Once you know which base, just work with the unaccompanied officer rep and they should be able to get it waived depending on current dorm capacity

On a lighter note

We got a 6th gen fighter before a KC-135 replacement! Hell yeah. Can’t wait to tank this bad boy.

My first full motion sim IP would disagree with you!

69% of this forum is people talking to themselves on different accounts.

What a ridiculous legal argument. You have to wait until a full trial before the government is allowed to do anything to stop you from breaking the law? So if a cop pulls you over for speeding, 50 mph over the limit, he has to let you keep speeding until you've gone to trial? No. They seize your car for reckless endangerment. You get your car back after your day in court. If I decide to dig a 50-ft wide hole in the middle of the street, the cops can't fill it in until I've had my time in front of a judge? This falls apart immediately upon even the most simple-minded analysis. They may deserve their day in court, but we have no obligation to keep them in our country, which is an active and ongoing violation of the law, until they get their chance. I sincerely hope the Democrats keep hammering away on this issue. They are doing everything in their power to keep Americans on Trump's side.

Thanks leftist douchebags for letting them in illegally by the millions (e.g. DNC-the puppet masters of braindead Biden, dems in congress, Mayorkas) If they can’t provide evidence of entering legally (stamped passport and declaration receipt) they should be sent home as soon as they are captured. No trial/hearing necessary since it’s guaranteed they entered illegally. Non citizens don’t have all the protections of the constitution. The gang member scum could have been dispatched with far cheaper with a 35cent 9mm round to guarantee they don’t murder or rape again. A plane ride was extremely generous.

Niceeee...well minus the sim IP and crashing part. Back a ton...it seems like they went to flight idle and we're never touched again.
