Dont start crushing dreams so soon my man lol. You are right to feel that way. Dont believe it until you're flying one. It would have been cool if the AF picked up those 47s we almost got. The AF flying Chinooks would have been sick. Oh well.

Reminds me of being a regional pilot!!! On my first flight at the regionals, I remember looking at the passengers entering and thinking they have no idea that i had never actually physically flown an E-175. Lol. The check airman flew the departurare out of LAX, I landed somewhere in the mid west. I cant remember where. Lol. What cracked me up the most about the regionals, was you'd fly some famous people every now and then and out of LAX. No shit, I flew Ron Howard from LAX to SMF, I thought it was hilarious to fly someone of his status on a regional jet. Lol He too likes to save on airfare.

Lol. I just pissed myself.

Go to AFSOC. Fly armed overwatch in an Air Tractor. That's probably the coolest thing the AF has invested in recently. Wherever you end up, dont tell them your baseops.net name....or let them know you asked this question to bunch of dudes on baseops. They may question your judgment. Lol

As stated by everybody In this forum, who seem to have a wee bit of experience delpoying (😉) in various different platforms, pick the mission you want. If you're lucky, Uncle Sam may be able to assist you get into that mission/platform. As for TDY/deployment rates fluctuating, I remember being ready to spend a few years of my life flying around the world playing war games. Going to good locations, banging the hottest whores and living the good life. Then 9/11 happened. I spent a lot less time in Europe and Asia, and more time in a giant litterbox in the Middle East. Its all timing. You will be gone. Whether its a tent in the desert, or an alert facility down the road from your house. Edit: The whores are hotter and easier to dance naked with in Europe, Asia and South America than in a tent in the desert or your local alert facility. Lol

Try not to piss yourself! Edit: My wife went to the same HS as Steven (several years after him) she assured me that nobody there talked with an old blackman cajun accent, especially the white dudes. Lol

Yeap. Lol. There were two marines in my class who went there on weedays (i meant weekdays but weedays seems appropriate for the topic at hand lol), during UPT, starting in Contact. The rest of us were still trying to figure where the landing gear handle was. Lol. We called it Area 51 Low.

I'd take a free life pass settlement from her local strip club for starters. Lol. As long as it's not Area 51 in Enid.

This. I was AD all the way (20 years 4 days, Im proud of that extra 4 days baby). But if you’re healthy and want to live the good life. I'd recommend Guard plus Airlines. Those dudes have it dialed in.

My first KC-10 CC was an AD AF helicopter pilot cross flow. When I went to Rucker, I was able to find his class photo on the wall. He cross flowed in the 90s though. I flew with a few other dudes who went from AD fixed wing to rotary wing. But once again, they did this in the 90’s. The point is to confirm with what’s previously been stated. It’s all luck and timing, even with crazy cross flows. Don’t get your hopes up, its not looking like they’re down sizing heavy units and riffing pilots anymore, but you never know?

Gents, no need to argue over my view on Karens and bad guys. I should have clarified my opinion in the original post. You guys are on the same team. Edit: At this point in time, Fuck Russia!!!

When you're in the game, they are filthy, piece of shit targets. I agree. I dont feel sorry for them when they are shooting at us, when they're dead there is no need to keep throwing shit on them. For context, I retired in 2018. Up until that point, I hated them all. All of those little fuckers that wore turbans (even Americans). I hated hearing the call to prayer (I didn't realize I'd ever hear that song in America). And seeing them walking out on "my" streets. Well, I even get weird seeing them in public, at home in the U.S. There’s a fuck ton of Muslims (and everything else) southern ca. To this day It's hard to look at them. I like to call them goat fuckers in my mind. Up until this very moment, It takes a lot of effort for me to treat fellow Muslim people in the US like humans. I know Its wrong to feel this way, but I can't control my mind anymore. To all the dudes still in the fight, don't feel sorry for the guys trying to kill you or the dudes on the ground. Do your job fangs out. Kill those dirty bastards. Oneday you're going to take the uniform off and you'll have plenty of time to reflect on life. I didn't start feeling bad for them (our enemy's dead and our own brothers/sisters that didn’t come home, regardless if they hit an IED in Iraq or some birds in England on a training sortie) until I had no skin in game anymore. I.E. after the military. Also, when I quit drinking in 2018, bad thoughts started to occupy my mind. For the record, I love being a free American. I thank God (or whatever my conscious talks to) everyday for being born here and not in the middle east. I also thank God that people are willing to don the uniform by choice, to do the hard stuff to keep us free. The Karen at my local Home Depot here in Cypress, CA wouldn't understand what I'm talking about. A dude who fought against us, and knows what the ultimate sacrifce means, would. Meanwhile, at the Home Depot cash register, Karen or LaKweeta (black Karen, yellow Karen, it can be whatever version your heart desires) will just smile and say "Thank you for your service....and those platic bags will cost 10 cents a peice". Edit: they wore turbans not turbines lol

Fuck yeah Sir! This is the truest statement I've read or heard in a long time.

So you're saying there's a chance? Lol.

Lol. Shit gets too serious in here sometimes! Hopefully, the next post we see in here is some Ukrainian drone dropping a few things on Putin. The first item being a bag off fecal matter (preferably human). The second, one of those fancy grenades.

We grew up in very similar conditions, except my Dad hated tuna and was a plumber lol. I agree 100 percent with you. There is a victim mentality in all aspects of the younger American generation (get off my lawn @nsplayr lol). I don't feel sorry for people who make dumb decisions, especially if they dont learn from their mistakes or quibble about how they were not wrong. You and I both know how crazy back enders can live. Lol. Edit: I'm glad Capt Biff never had to fly with Amn Biff lol

I didn't remember the ppl being that hard (sts) /s. Or getting invited to the good circle jerks (ones that get people promoted) for that matter. Lol I've been out for a few years now. But seriously, I agree with your statement about Officer, SNCO trust

I was enlisted 9.5 years, the rest officer. AD. I was a sheetmetal dude on F-16's and KC-10 Boom. I came in as an E-1. I fucked up and got chick pregnant as an E-3. I grew up Catholic, so did she. We got married. I had zero CC debt, student loan debt and a cheap ass Honda Civic with no AC. I used WIC because I had too. I was embarrassed having to put my frozen OJ, and baby formula on the counter and paying using WIC. There were other airmen I personally knew that were in similar situations. There were a fuck ton of financial dumbasses I met as young enlisted man, but the ones with families sometimes struggled and weren't always financial dumbasses.

Do you want the truth? If you go from a T-1 tracked heavy to a fighter on AD, I'll let you bang my brother's fat wife, lol. Test pilot doesn't equal fighters. The only real shot you have is to invent a time machine, go back and time and track 38s. Lol. Do the best wherever you end up. Don't carry the "I should have had fighters" chip on your shoulder. Learn your mission, fly and kick ass when/if needed. Don't be a douche. Take care of your people . Make connections with dudes you meet from other MWSs. When your ADSC is approaching, and you still wanna fly faster than sound (if you wanna fly backwards, call helicopter units), start reaching out those dudes from other MWSs you know. I bet a few of them will probably be flying fighters in Guard or Reserve squadrons somewhere. Start calling them and see if it's an option. Be the best at your job (flying and banging whores) and enjoy flying military aircraft. They are all uniquely military. You will do cool shit, even in heavies. P.S. You will find way more whores flying around the world on the regular, than flying around the flag pole.

Thats how Bud Light likes it.

Don’t worry, we all will get to hangout with them in the end. Edit: @DirkDiggler, @pawnman I'm on your team btw. Sometimes, I feel exactly how you guys do. Just sometimes, I can’t hide the fact that it hurts my stomach to see the dead piled up on display. I respect anyone who is willing do the dirty work the rest of society gets to ignore. Good or bad.

Thanks. You’re a killer? And you like to kill for freedom, money or patriotic bullshit? So did the Russians, Wagner, Taliban, Nazis, Romans, Americans. We all did it for some sort of compensation. I don’t like the people I’ve killed anymore than the next guy, but I respect them. I can’t wait to find those WMDs in Iraq. I’m really glad we destroyed that whole country because of some really, really bad intel. I’m glad we got to burn a few civilians too that’s what real bad asses do. We are not as innocent as we like to believe. It’s a hard pill to swallow. Beleive what you want, but I have more in common with those dirtbags fighting for their country, freedom or patriotic beliefs than I do with the fine men and women working for us in Washington DC. I have more in common with a guy (bad guy, good guy, who cares) who shot his enemy than a Karen working at Home Depot.
