With how many cameras are built into vehicles now, it is absurd that every vehicle doesn't have this feature. Why should I need to install some dash cam from amazon when my truck has 6 cameras already?

Wait till you learn we have Refueling probes, too, and taught the 160th how to HAAR when they gained that capability.

Glad they got out. T-6 isn’t aging as gracefully as the Tweet.

Do I hear Dibs?

I'm not arguing they don't need new iron, but a landing hard enough to break the T-6 gear very well may have broken new iron gear, too.

One more T-7 render, aggressor

T-37: 1954 - 2005 T-6: 2005 - ...wait, what? Are you shitting me?

I mean, if you like Shatner, he's all yours.

True. Heard that part this morning. Shit happens in training sometimes, glad the seats worked as advertised.

T-6 production line is still open, the simple answer is right in front of us. 🤷🏼‍♂️ But also I’ve been in acquisitions and know it’s not that simple, even though it should be. Glad they got out and are okay 🍻

Glad they got out, controlled ejection, new iron people (leaders lurking on this forum), AETC needs it ASAP.

Laughs in DSG. Still once a year for us part timers.

In this case I think it could have been worse if he continued inside. They already charged him with fleeing and eluding so they would have claimed exigent circumstances and knocked the door down with guns drawn.

Keep this junk in the 'next president' thread, or the Iran thread, or the Ukraine thread, or the Trump cabinet thread, or start a Russia policy thread. There are enough threads that have been taken over with complaining about evil orange man. We get it, you think everything he does to include taking a leak qualifies for WTF.

Prediction. Next press sec will be a max looked man. Don has been talking a lot about man looks. He likes his blondes bimbo, how does he like his men? Looks over ability to form a sentence is my bet. Polymarket that!

F-16XL!

Navy allows the member to choose run, bike, or swim, regardless of age. That said, I always found it easier to get a high score with the run. The bike and swim are crazy easy to pass but difficult to get a good enough score to only do the PRT once a year.

UPDATE: While I was at OTS, the leadership specifically said "We read everything online about how the physical training here is not challenging, so we are specifically inceasing the intensity and frequency of PT." Personally, I thought the PT at first was a bit forced. We seemed to do 5 days straight of running (~ 3 miles at a slow pace), then rest for a day or two, then 5 days of mainly chest exercises. At the end of the course, a lot of people had complaints about how the workouts weren't "varied" enough. The leadership seemed to take notes on that and I'm sure it'll be more of a mix of muscle groups for the next few classes. Our class was specifically told we were doing a lot more PT than previous classes, so YMMV... All in all, I can't complain, but I would liked to have had more personal PT time to hit the gym instead of always doing body weight stuff... But you can't make everyone happy.

I can see some of this... But do we really think no one knows where Dhafra, Al Udeid, or Ali Al Salem are? Do we think the Taliban is still in the dark about the location of Bagram or Kandahar?

This is so not surprising to me. I can’t tell you how many opsec briefs I’ve sat through pre-deployment and then had squadron members (from FNG to leadership) posting the exact stuff we were just told to not post. The most egregious was a Major posting a picture of the globe with every place (ICAO ID’s) our community had been throughout the world over the last year and talking about how busy they’d been. The Commies don’t even have to try anymore. We’ll just give them the info eventually.

I was 6'3" and 240 first time in the 'fuge. Hate running and it shows... Did 5.8 resting g tolerance. YMMV
