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!

@gearhog I don’t agree at all. Arguing a single Putin interview is a threat to national security and a nail in the coffin of our country’s existence is frankly, bat shit crazy. And I’m also not advocating for treason, etc. I guess agree to disagree on this topic.

No way they let him come back to fly fighters. I wouldn’t want him, unless he’s a phenomenal dude who’s going to be a badass OG or WG/CC, and the AF isn’t going to let him be one of those. I hope he realizes working on staff or in an AOC is not going to scratch the “I miss fighters” itch.

The American population is inundated with propaganda on a daily basis - that’s what 95% of MSM and social media produces. So we should shut down the MSM and SM companies since the average American is incapable of sifting through all that bullshit? A nanny state with absolute control of information release to the public (other than classified obviously) is egregiously against every fiber of this country, and I cannot believe someone on here is advocating for that.

Valid clarification - F-16s are all drones too. It’s a weird feeling sitting in a fighter flown by a 69 yr old dude on the ground!

It’s a good big picture idea, but I just can’t get past the part about a man beating Nikki’s ass, it’s just not right.

Everything I’ve read/heard is that she hates politics and hated being involved in any of it. I think there’s a very high chance of a “savior” coming since Biden probably does not make it to the election, but it’s more likely to be Newsome in my opinion.

All out of service after last night with Chang’s and Bashi’s mom.

In my case, if I make it to AGR retirement with my current orders, they’d have to give a $200k+ bonus per year to even match DAL+retirement pay…and then there’s that QOL and willingness to put up with bullshit thing. I actually have a pretty good full time job right now in the ANG, but even this will get immediately dropped at 20y 0m AGR and I will run back to DAL with a significant smile and sense of relief. In the end, I’d stay in my current job longer if they gave me a $300k yearly bonus…that’s my price AF!

One of the best times I had in the JS was the CA and I taking about our days gone by SEA stories…unbeatable memories. I think the FOs (pure civ track guy) jaw was on the floor the whole time. Probably made him question his life decision to not go mil…or he now thinks mil guys are animals. One of the two!

I want to say, “no way this passes,” but also I guess I won’t be surprised if it does.

@Lord Ratner As long as they’re stapled, I’m all for it! Kill the regional model, pay legacy rates, and yeah the new guys will probably get RJs/717/220 only at indoc with the lowest pay rate, but they’ll be at a large carrier on the list and will bid over to larger NB soon enough (or fly one trip with CA @SocialD involving hookers and blow on a berg layover and they’ll never leave the fleet!)

Great, but the problem is who is the arbiter of this? Because there are tons of people who viewed completely valid and accurate information regarding Covid as “dangerous misinformation” and went through great lengths to silence said information because “the people couldn’t handle it/decide for themselves.” I believe critical thinking is mostly dead in this country and around the world, but at the same time it will never be worth going down the freedom-trampling road of the govt deciding what information/opinions the population should and should not consume. AOC for example is one of the dumbest people to ever been given a public voice, but the people have every right to listen to every word she says if they want to. I disagree with her existence beyond being behind a bar slinging beers, but this is America and she was voted in and thats the end of it. Censoring anything at a govt level is for communist shit holes, not the United States of America.

If it takes 20 years to get a MOA, then it should take the FAA 20 years to conduct this age increase safety assessment.

Ha! If this describes any of you, self report and turn your man card in immediately!

Ha, didn’t notice that. Now that I actually looked for more than 1.69”, it is almost certainly fake news.

One is a pilot wife for sure, so real? Wow, I think my wife might actually punch someone in the face if they asked her to be in something like this. But, whatever floats your boat!

Yep, valid, my bad. Personally I just don’t see the point of not investing for greater ROI (assumption that LT is going to fork over the $450 monthly payment out of his paycheck). But I suppose if he’s unable to do that due to extenuating circumstances, copy shot. But if there aren’t extenuating circumstances and he’s just choosing to spend the $450 on dumb shit while collecting minimal interest, then I still think that’s a overall not a smart choice.

It’s sad. Thankfully rural kids are still going strong, but suburban/city kids are almost completely lost it seems.

Still risky because now we’re assuming savings accounts paying > 2.99% will exist for the next 5 years (assuming that’s the USAA loan term). Savings accounts could be paying max of .5% in 2 years for all we know (or maybe not, but point is nobody knows). But it’s kind of a moot argument anyways, because even a 2LT can afford a $450 payment, unless they have specific, negative financial circumstances out of their control. So assuming he can pay the $450 out of the paycheck, he’ll make way more money over time doing something other than a savings account.

Have you tried talon grips? I put the rubber version on mine and really like them. Cheap and easy to install. No issue against bare skin when IWB carrying.

Glocks are great guns - simple, accurate and dependable as fuck. Their only crime is bland looks, but I don’t give a shit about that, especially on “purpose-driven” guns. Range toys are for fucking around with fancy shit. And if you can’t stand stock, a trigger, sights, barrels, springs, etc. are not expensive, easy to find, and easy to replace. I had a buddy give me shit once because I “had to” replace the trigger on my glocks, so that’s why they suck. Even with that and a aftermarket barrel on that particular Glock, I was still less money in than his malfunction trainer…I mean Kimber.

Meanwhile crickets on BLM protests, the recent riot at the WH, zero fucks given about the illegals they just released in NY who attacked the cops, J6 people who at most should have had misdemeanors with no jail time are getting heavy sentences, etc. If the law was applied equally, that’s one thing, but the law is massively absent for the left and heavy handed on anyone on the right/viewed as a threat to left policies (perceived or otherwise). I would be equally appalled and pissed if the current status of justice was reversed in the opposite political direction. Politics and favoritism have no place in justice, but here we are, watching “political opponents” being taken down/silenced/persecuted by the left DOJ and AGs/judges all over the country. Every American should be horrified, regardless of how you vote at the ballot box.
