And the fighter community never did that?

ATF to Require Information on Frequent Gunbuyers in Border States
There is a pawn shop/gun store on the south side of Hey 98 in between Navarre and Gulf Breeze that used to have a really good selection of lever action rifles. I did most of my transfers to them when I lived there. Always hunted with a Marlin 30/30 as a kid, very versatile weapon. I also have a Winchester Model 94 22 LR that perfect for small game. My next lever action is pictured below:
No specific feedback, but I do know SOF folks have been doing very good on promotion boards, PME, Command select boards. The style of combat since 9/11 means the SOF folks have garnered a lot of medals, trophies, and other accolades which have made them very competitive...in some regards too competitive to the point that other commands have complained and pushed back. As far as I know the number of IDE/SDE slots remains the same, but the pool of strong records in the SOF community has increase thus making it harder to get picked up.

Landshark Rating: 10 Reason: My son walked down to the man cave and brought it to me.
I have a T-38 Pitot Tube hanging over the bar in the Man Cave.
I think it started at Kadena...
Will the House drum up support to cut spending on military bands? Although most services also have bands that are stationed overseas, the Washington-based bands often go abroad. For example, the Air Force Band went to Japan last summer even though there already is a unit of the USAF Band of the Pacific stationed in Japan.
Trying to figure out what this one is. Looks like they have a few more of them over here. Are they D-21 drones?
No you fucking ignoramus...he was saying "both". If that "dead guy from the Vietnam era" was still alive he would most certainly punch you right in the snot locker.
Japan Temporarily Grounds F-15 Fleet
They updated with some high-res pictures...holy crap we have dismantled a great air force. 500 F-16's, 200 F-15's, 20 B-1's, A lot of Old B-52's and F-4's...kind of sad to look at.
And we have a new one!!! This time a douche nozzle put together a video with clips of some of my friends and is claiming it is him...unsat. If you have a spare minute I would ask for a "maximum effort" on this clown who is pretending he was an AC-130 Gunner during Desert Storm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp330umvX44
Very few O-6's have real power to affect change. Sitting wing commanders have some leeway, but the average O-6 can not. If I am ever in position, I will do whatever I can to make a difference. With the information I gained from this site I've done several things... #1. I have provided honest, candid, often painful feedback to the senior folks I know. #2. I made a promise to mentor those I think can carry the ball further down the field and make a difference...and I have honored that promise with several folks, some on this very site.
So, I have a favor to ask. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what is driving fighter pilot retention down. You can send them directly to my CAG at usafe.ccx@ramstein.af.mil. They'll strip names off the inputs, then pass them to me, unedited. I'm looking for the ground truth as you see it, not the filtered, watered-down "this is what the boss wants to hear" truth. Once I've seen it all, I'll give you some feedback...including what I plan to do with the info. Almost two months later and crickets...
