  1. We’ve already checked the persecution and imprisonment containers, just have death in prison left to go.
  2. That’s the staff in a nutshell, and probably has been that way since the 70s. Sad.
  3. Screams not credible and fake. Yes the implication is possible, and we know governments (including ours) do illegal spying, but this specific letter is very likely complete bullshit. Clinton, Obama, etc. are absolute dishonest, garbage humans, but that doesn’t make this letter real.
  4. Consuming “budget dust” out back of the alert shack with SrA yummy pants?
  5. Biden could reverse all of his idiotic immigration moves and that’d be a huge “something” to help the problem. The bill is to some extent a red herring, the guy in charge power-fucked our national security day one. But, plenty of people just ignore that while thinking congress is actually going to solve anything. Put leadership in that actually gives a fuck about America - that’s the only viable solution with legs.
  6. When you have the weakest American leader in history, this is the type of stuff you get. The kids have been left home alone for so long without adult supervision that the ideas and actions have risen to an alarmingly high level of dumb/crazy.
  7. To sum up anyone’s discussion with lawman on this topic:
  8. As a side note, during what training maneuver is 0.5 to 0g flight occurring?
  9. False. You are in love with semantical arguments. The no shit text uses the terms “alien” and “encounter.” It literally says the border is not shut down until the 7 day average of “alien encounters” surpasses 5k. Alien is everyone - the terrorist, the Chinese spy, the trafficked kid, the drug runner, the AFG refugee, etc. There is no delineation between who that alien is in the text. So I guess if it helps your brain work better - replace “illegal” with “alien” in all the quotes your railing against and they are 100% accurate sentiments. Word smithing gymnastics doesn’t change the basis of the argument.
  10. I wouldn’t talk to an AME, unless you have a personal friend who’s willing to discuss hypothetical situations. I’ve been flying for 25 years and never have heard of an actual medical condition as you describe. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but I think the most likely situation is your body subconsciously reacting to a new/uncomfortable physiological situation. Have CFI fly while you actively concentrate on staying relaxed during these scenarios - see if you can mentally (and therefore physically) train your body to stop tensing up. Also, when you say < 1g/rapid descent, in what maneuvers is this happening? If your CFI is leveling off from a climb with less than 1g he either sucks at flying, or is to some extent fucking around (purposely doing < 1g with no requirement to do so)…neither is a good quality to have in a CFI teaching a new student.
  11. The actual staff can’t even “A-staff”well, but I’m sure the wing level will nail it.
  12. You’re not wrong, but semantics are still at play. Up to 4999 rolling daily average and CBP keeps the border open. Only at 5000 average do they have the power to shut down the border (which is described as an “emergency” action and intended to be temp in nature). Or they could just shut down the border right now and leave it shut until we fix this disaster of epic proportions. We’re in a massive emergency situation, but the bill doesn’t support that fact until the daily average getting through is 5k+. In summary, this bill’s supporters are tacitly OK with 4999 daily average.
  13. I wouldn’t rule out it’s a subconscious response from your body “freaking out” over a new physiological situation it isn’t used to. I’d give it some more time and try to consciously think about relaxing. It’s a common response for the body to tense up when you feel anxiety, fear, stress, etc. (even if those feelings are subconscious). Don’t start to go down the crazy medical rabbit hole yet.
  14. 100%. The people could stop this bullshit pretty quickly, but they won’t, because TikTok, Obama Phones, etc.
  15. Never had a bio, and I see that as a win.
  16. Absolutely! Throw in term limits, age limits, and a transition back to the federalized system we should be, and we’ll be on a relatively smooth path to another few hundred years of being the greatest nation on earth. But no, that won’t happen, because power greed is a real thing.
  17. That TDY is not a waste of time.
  18. Wow, I don’t know a single person who makes their own primers. That’s impressive…and short of full anarchy/Armageddon, below the cut line for me.
  19. I logged it all, and as far as the ground guy…
  20. Ha, don’t get me wrong, it was an awesome flight and very grateful I have it in the logbook! Actually a lot of props to the guys who did it - way harder and less survivable compared to what the following generations experienced.
  21. Make your own and it’s cheaper…at least that’s how I justified all the reloading stuff to my wife! And of course I don’t factor in equipment cost to the cost per round - I don’t need that kind of math in my life!
  22. Correct. Fly like a normal jet, but can be taken control of from the ground. I got a flight in the F-4…it was awesome: got my ass kicked in BFM by a Viper and eventually the 69 yr old guy on the ground took control for some maneuvering and then RTB and a pattern. Very cool nostalgic flight, but man I’m glad I never had to go to war in an F-4!
  23. Never have left the cockpit of a fighter and promoted on time to O-5…never played the game to do that. Was told multiple times in my career if I didn’t do X “good deal/career enhancer” it would put me behind my peers, blah, blah. Never was true. Always say exactly what YOU want and do what YOU want (in terms of job/assignment prefs, school in corres vs. res, AD vs. ANG, etc.) Never say or do something because some jackass Bob told you that was the answer. Choose a personally desirable path, not one that someone told you to take. You’ll be much happier and fulfilled for it.
  24. I used to have a lot of fucks to give about sports, but now I have none, especially the ones Biff called out. Instead of watching the Taylor swift show, I shot 500 rounds with my son out back, and then we worked on the knives we’re making. That time together was a billion times better than wasting my time on watching a bunch of prima donnas on TV. They need us more than we need them, fuck ‘em!
