I do hate teams with no class who need refs on the payroll to help them win games. So yes, not a fan of Miami. Also, a Miami fan lamenting another team showing no class is like Harvey Weinstein becoming an outspoken member of the #meetoo movement..

That ACC reffing crew should be fired. If you're gonna throw the game to prop up miami, at least don't make it so obvious. Especially not on a safety issue no call.

The word on the street is the bobs spent a significant amount of time discussing all the things mentioned in this email at a recent Bobathon. Apparently its a priority for the big Bob, and said wg/cc is obviously planning to be somebody. No word yet on what we're doing about China..

Sheppard SQ/CC?

In some old school systems you can do this by overflying a point with a known lat/lon (VOR/airfield etc.), setting said lat/lon, and updating the INS when over the point. Essentially telling the INS, "here's our location, now do math.." It's not something that you're gonna fly an RNAV from, but it'd be a lot better than having your pos be over BFE when you're on final at ATL.

We'd need actual leaders in leadership positions.

The Marines have been doing ACE for ~250 years and we're over here in an O-6 circle jerk trying to get approval for hot re-arming in a hot pit area.

If you didn't read the book that was referenced then your take makes sense. It describes specific AFGAN SOF members and interpreters that saved american lives that the US granted SIVs to, groups of young women, as well as US citizens. Yes, I think we have/had an obligation to help those specific individuals. They were abandoned by their government and their MIL leadership, and by all accounts resisted to their utmost. How we porked away not prioritizing their evacuation first, or only their evacuation is mind boggling. I definitely agree the knee pad wearers deciding who was allowed on our jets went full retard.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/navy-leader-demoted-after-conspired-chiefs-run-illegal-wifi-network-warship-prompted-secur Not a commander, but still. Seems like a light punishment. Navy has gone soft since keel hauling was outlawed. -
Unfortunately, this is the kind of rumor you get when the bobs start, what some would call, bold facing lying to students. They're being told they'll do one assignment and then go to fighters. At one base they're also being told they may get sent to IFF before their heavy B-Course. Idk if the bobs are afraid they're going to have a revolt when this next -38 drop happens, or if they actually believe the BS they're telling studs. Flt/CCs gave their studs the drop sheet for the one this week (all 3 regular upt bases) and let them decide amongst themselves who was going where. The good news is there are no UAVs in the drop.

Yes. Although now they get wings post T-6's...

The last time your team was relevent the Motorola razr was the new hotness, The Rock had hair, ppl actually wrote in cursive, and BQZip's mom had a body count below triple digits.

Are you asking why they tried a second cable engagement on a RWY that had another cable available w/ calm winds. Or why they chose to fly ~30 miles away to Lemoore instead of 140 miles with minimum fuel and a hydraulic problem?
-
Go Guard.
-
Don't forget to brief your double missed cable gear down min fuel divert gameplan. That'll put some hair on your chest.

Is the T-1 totally retired from the UPT syllabus?

The one that smashed his exec or the one that took over for him? -
The Garmin watches are all well and good, until the altimeters start failing at the 18 month point. Even better when Garmin recommends buying a new watch if you want it fixed. Skillcraft Aviator pens are great. If you have enough cash for 400 dollar watches I'd rather get some nice shades (Costa etc.) or a good travel bag (osprey, eagle creek, patagonia etc.).
