You lost me, what's that in freedom units?

Did the general public know of the affairs during those two presidencies, no. Their indiscretions were well known in the media, especially Kennedy, and they were not held to a "higher moral standard." All three presidents were still greatly admired after their affairs became public knowledge. If you don't like the president example (because all three are Democrats I suppose) then let's use MLK. If the public is going to hold someone to a higher morale standard, it's going to be a preacher. However, no one cares he was an adulterer. Back to the original point, the American public doesn't hold someone to a higher bar due to their office/position. All you need to be is popular with a significant portion of the population and any transgressions can easily be forgotten. Speaking of forgotten...the "mentally impaired" portion of my previous quote is the major issue I have with octogenarians being in office...

Quality control is a plausible explanation why others arent able to duplicate in significant numbers. Maybe a part in the safety mechanism is prone to excessive wear leading to failure. Either way, if this is a failure of Sig they need to be held accountable.

The ol' "could not duplicate". Nothing more comforting than taking a previous code 3 jet with CND in the forms..

I think both parties are generally full of idiots actually. There's far to many people like you and Bashi in office on both sides. I hope for the best like most Americans who want the country to do well, not only when their team is in charge.

You clearly want Trump to be guilty of anything that can stick. Are you NSAplayer's side account? BTW, since when does America hold the president to a higher moral standard? Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton...all adulterers that didn't do a good job of hiding it, and all would have been re-elected if it weren't for death or term limits. Not that this is pertinent, but that statement is ignorant at best. I have zero desire for a pedophile to be in charge of our country, just like I didn't want a mentally impaired octogenarian in charge. The difference is myself and others on here don't hope for the worst because we don't like the party the current president represents.

Are you sure you're a herk dude? All the herk dudes I've known weren't BALBA's...🤔

There is a search function believe it or not..

Good luck trying to get strike eagle B-course dates anytime soon... What a shame.

If we're going to look at unconventional capabilities I'd rather we spend money on something like turning their electricity off indefinitely over finger banging with some boat planes.

Where have I heard this thinking before...

Weak*

Well it's a good thing the ppl ratner references are too fat, lazy, old, or liberal to take up arms...

What kind of ff'd up AI made this? "Globemaster the Third" lol

Nice way to fix the pilot shortage. Contract everything except 1x SQ of T-7s at each base (except SPS), cut the training so they graduate sooner, and if there are accidents just blame the contractors.

Speaking of tin foil hats.. If Fordow was a primary target, then what was Israel's gameplan? Did they have assurances we'd bring the hammer once they did the heavy lifting? I doubt they just assumed DJT would do it without a discussion. Or is Fordow just not that big of a deal?

We could waste billions on resurrecting a 50s era aircraft like the WB-57 for C2... or we could use... space..

He made a visit awhile back and had a 30 minute diatribe about the definition of quality in relation to UPT grads. At the end of it he said, "I mean do you want more pilots or what?" No, no I would prefer good pilots to lower quality/high quantity pilots. He could run for office tomorrow with how slippery he attempted to be not answering a direct question. What's comical is, if he and the rest of management are so confident this is the right way to produce pilots, why don't they have the balls to say, "yes we're going to produce as many as we can and quality will suffer."? Idk what he was like previously, but I can tell you a room full of crusty old IPs all thought he was completely full of shit.

Did they think we were sending dependents home from the Middle East as a negotiation tactic..? Just sleeping at home like nothing is gonna happen.

First, I wouldn't DOR, because I know I'd regret it. Second, welcome to the Air Force. I've had very similar management to what you're describing in multiple commands, so don't expect the skies to clear once you're done with UPT, YMMV. Get through UPT, get your 10 years done and decide if you're going to go airlines, guard, or a combination of the two. Obviously, you can math out both paths to determine what sets up you and your family in the best financial spot. However, if you decide to take your ball and go home, make sure the bobs know why. Do it professionally, but make it known. It probably won't matter, but if you're doing well and quit, it will raise some eyebrows. If it becomes a trend, there's an RCH of a possibility something positive will come from it for those that follow.

I get the facts about psi etc. on a tank driving straight down a road, but what about when they turn and do tank things. How's the impact of that on asphalt/concrete. Also, to prevent any triggering, I'm just curious.

Quick, arm all of the ISR satellites!

Did we transition to the what's wrong with the Air Force thread? This level of management definitely fits.
