I doubt it. He is concerned about his legacy most of all, and a pardon for HRC will not help that legacy.

To all the celebs who said they'd leave America if Trump won... and especially Ruth Bader Ginsberg who said she would go to New Zealand... please keep your promise. I'll gladly take hard working Latino immigrants and well-vetted Syrian Christians to take your place.

I never flew in the 7+G environment. But with 4000 hours in the T-38, and another 2500 hours in the U-2, I have plenty of time with a helmet on my head. In the T-38, that often meant turning to keep the solo student on my wing in sight. Again... not the 7G environment you guys talk about. But doing what I did with a helmet on for 28 years has taken a toll. I'm sure that if you're in the 7-9G environment, you can probably do a lot more damage in a lot less time. My neck issues are significant. If I knew then what I know now, I would have done some things in the cockpit smarter and differently. Bottom line: do what you believe is necessary to be effective in the cockpit and in your mission. And be aware that the short term benefits may have a long term cost. If you feel those costs are worth it, press on. And remember that winning the battle doesn't mean you've won the war.

I sincerely hope OK ANG doesn't take anyone from the former active duty MC-12 squadrons, and that they re-build it. Sure, there were some quality people in the program. Some really good ones, in fact. But the MC-12 culture was horrendous, and better to miss out on getting some good folks than to bring in any of the virus. Good to see they are going to use CSO's on the crew. The active duty should have done that. FYI: I spent a year in the MC-12.

https://boston.cbslocal.com/2016/10/27/nfl-ratings-national-anthem-protests-poll/ At least one poll says ratings are down due to public sentiment about the kneeling. But Im sure the American public will forget about it once Kardashian is in the news again.

Like LumberJack said:. Hydration... and I'll add rest.

Did any of you get the AFPC letter about flying A-29s as a GS-13?

Feeling "old", Spoo?? Welcome to the club.

No. While you have passed the instrument check, there are two problems (notwithstanding your lack of hours): 1. You are not a military pilot. You are a student. No wings, not qualified. 2. Having T-6 time does not mean you are T-6 qualified. Having a T-6 Form 8 would show you are qualified. Purely my opinion. Call your FSDO for the answer that matters. Or just wait and get your wings.

When I was a T-38 PIT IP, I taught a 3 day "Instructor Techniques" class (I think that was the title). It covered some of those same principals, and I was able to incorporate a little more of that type of information during my tenure there. However, a good portion of the course was for going over grade sheets, and learning the specifics of how a gradebook is managed. I didn't feel there was enough basic, overall info on flight instruction. My guess is that course still exists at Randolph, and you can get a copy of the manual.

VMFA187, I seem to recall that the RCP flight controls can be installed/removed quickly. Is that true?

I hear MC-12 experience is a plus.

For those of us that didn't, what was the theme of the SWA commercial?

Millennials just might be the next "greatest generation". They are brave. https://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/10/14/university-florida-offers-counseling-for-students-troubled-by-halloween-costumes.html# Im sure Hillary will weigh in on this. Our country is so f'd.

You're asking a lot of questions. I'll be more direct... - I find it incredible that you're "seriously" considering this, yet you haven't called the ROTC Det at a major university to get first-hand answers. Why not? They may be 100 miles away... but I'm guessing you have a phone. Maybe a car. Invest in your future and go find out in person. - much of what you're asking has been posted here already. Many times. Try reading through the forums and doing your due diligence in discovering what's there. You'll find answers to things you might not even have considered asking.

FIFY.

Is there any info that has been publicly released in the Thunderbird mishap?

"Still debating" sounds like this has been going on for some time. What has the ROTC officer cadre at your school told you?

I'm not smart in Rand's issues. Is there another thread that covers this?

https://www.businessinsider.com/cbs-explains-nfl-ratings-2016-10 Wow... such a surprise. Maybe people are beginning to have enough of the NFL, and their uneducated, prima donna asshats. Including Goodell.

https://www.mauldineconomics.com/outsidethebox/the-islamic-hatred-of-modernity Which Presidential candidate will more effectively counter this?

- Call AFPC. Look up Adriana Bazan on the Global. - Who has a lot of inter service transfer folks flying USAF aircraft? The U-2 Program. Call them and ask for recent first-hand xperiemce

Any former U-2 Drivers on this forum:. If you're coming to the memorial, drop me a note. I'm gathering names of alumni for the squadron. Details went out on the Chuck Wilson emails.

Just spend some time looking at the threads on this website.
