Both can be said about the Viper, as well. Lots and lots of hours on the jets in the last 10 years...

Vectors to final, brah.

Spoiler alert: She doesn't shave. Anything.

Hey, I've laid lots of times.

But Claybird, wouldn't you rather see a bunch of talented airmen in sequined jumpsuits playing 1950s jazz standards?

You're talking out of your ass, holmes. Saves money? Oh, you mean...when they mothball the jets the guys were using? But wait - those jets are counted in a SQ's line-up and will fly anyway. Perhaps they'll fly MORE, which burns MORE JP-8! Woah...how much money did we just save there? And the pilots? They're CMR dudes in CAF squadrons, most are experienced IPs that will most definitely stay exactly where they are. As it's been said already: We're not saving as much money on this decision as it seems. TIB, USAF bands, and a thousand other money wasters should have been cut before we axed these programs.

The PACAF Viper Demo Team remains. It's more of a PACOM political thing (with other nations we like to keep as friends) than anything else, but I'm glad it wasn't axed.

Coneheads (quite a literal term in her case) get combat readiness medals, eh? Interesting...

Naw. Japan is safe. Look out in Thailand, though. On my honeymoon, wifey couldn't believe our "waitress" was a dude, so I had to straight up ask "her." Much hilarity...

It is never ok to post man-ass. My ivory tower does not approve.

Most of us are awesome. Sometimes shitty ones get pushed through as part of a militant feminist agenda. What can ya do.

Probably part of the morale boosting program. You know...get all the folks at the base in the same uniform and morale will skyrocket.

Nope. Cheekbones are too high. It's a dead giveaway. Even before I clicked your link...I'm thinking "that's probably a tranny." Maybe I've spent too much time in Asia, but it's easy to spot.

You're missing the point. She continuously cites her "combat experience" and "combat leadership" in the A-10 as proof positive that she's prepared for the tough job she's running for. A quick look at her site shows a fucking gorilla package of pictures: Her w/A-10, her in flight gear, her in uniform accepting awards... But if she's NOT the combat superstar she claims to be, her whole "I'm a combat-proven leader" argument/platform goes *POOF* What we have here is the cancer that has been dragging the Air Force down for decades. She has all the symptoms. Hell, her behavior IS the symptom. Careerism: it's not what we need in our federal government.

I personally know one. He's a major now at the end of his 3 year exec tour, so perhaps he was a major-select when he got the job.

I didn't like the "soar to victory" comments from her about the election. It seemed to just reinforce the impression that she's out for personal gain. Also, don't be surprised that she didn't just roll-over and say the caller was right. No one wakes-up in the morning and thinks "I think I'll be a shitbag today," or "everything I do or have earned is because I have gender-related top cover in the 'sis-network.'" I'm sure she honestly believes everything she's said in her campaign and has posted on her website. I also believe that she sees herself as a combat leader...tried and proven worthy by the trials of war. Her own reality, however, has some significant disagreements with the reality of the men/women she worked and flew with. The election will hinge upon which reality the voters choose to believe as their own.

Fucking FAIPs.

Probably the video for www.lemonparty.org (NSFW. Also, don't click it.)

Send us your champions, indeed. WOOD.

Excuse me, but what do you fly?

I feel like this is a discussion about a quarterback's torn ACL that was ruined by the chess team.

FIFY

FINALLY someone in this thread mentions that there might be a difference between DMPI and DPI.
