Put a few 20mm holes through it and it still drifts quite a ways (international waters complicates recovery), get closer and you give it potentially more chance to capture data from the F-22, and gunning an object going that slow is incredibly difficult with low probability of success and increased risk of midair (and at 60K I can’t even imagine, even in a raptor).

Had a SEAL in the backseat puke his brains out, but did a good job of getting it all in the two bags. However, 6.9 min later he’s flying and slams the stick forward into more negative Gs than I’ve experienced in my entire life…both puke bags and my maxed out piddle pack slam into the canopy, all three explode like water balloons and shower the entire cockpit in a rain mixture of chipotle burrito puke and gelled piss. Wiping off my visor was fun. Flying fighters ain’t all glamor!

9x makes complete sense.

@ATIS So when are you moving back to America where the 2A applies?

I agree with your overall premise, but this statement gets thrown around a lot. I have experienced the opposite for nearly my entire career. Don’t violate a reg (e.g. a “must/shall” or “prohibited/don’t” statement), and you’ll be fine. A is always good to go if it doesn’t explicitly say you must do B or cannot do A.

God I hope not, but I don’t think you’re crazy for saying any of that.

And on top of that, Ronna got re-elected. The DNC is pure hammered dogshit of the highest caliber, and should be simple to crush. And yet, the RNC is embarrassingly incompetent and living in a fantasy world. The only hope is someone like Desantis or Paul wins the primary, but the GOP establishment is just as corrupt and corrosive as the Dem establishment, so won’t be surprised to watch them “take the competition out” like the Dems did with Tulsi. Fuck! I need a whiskey.

ANG usually is around that time, but never seems to be exactly coincident with AD. Do you have a line number!?

This isn’t that hard, just put it in a WUG dorm microwave and you’re fine. Do we have to hold their hand on everything!

What Smokin said. This is a nothing burger if you go option 2 (or 3, but why would you do that!) This also is along the lines of people saying for years, “but since you put measurements on your F1, then obviously that means you had to assemble the SBR to get those, ergo the ATF now knows you have an illegal SBR. You’re fucked!” Except that’s never happened to anyone in the history of F1s. I will bet anything that not a single person gets fucked by this who doesn’t go the option 1 route.

Not in a fucking herk I’m not! I’d love to hear this more in depth over whiskey some time. Sounds like a badass story.

Probably task misprioritization of some type, with likely several CFs leading to that.

But one is not saying that. There isn’t a box on the F1 that says “check here if you already have a fully assembled AR pistol” or “this special edition form 1 is to register an already assembled AR with stabilizer brace.” There is not a single thing anywhere in the process, at all, that states the receiver on the F1 application is part of a fully assembled rifle meeting SBR definition. That’s why this video and entire line of thinking is illogical fearmongering. @FourFans130 I agree, and if someone gets in hot water because they send a pic of their assembled AR pistol attached to their F1, well that’s them suffering the consequences of their stupidity. But to be honest, even if someone does that, there’s probably still a 99% chance nothing comes of it. The ATF is one of the most incompetent agencies, and that’s saying a lot.

But who says I have a pistol with a brace? That’s the point. I don’t have one, I’m simply applying to build an SBR. That’s how the F1 process works. The NFA is bullshit, don’t get me wrong, but there’s so much misunderstanding about the process. It’s actually fairly easy and there’s no way for the gov to “trap” you, unless you’re a complete idiot and do something like submit a pic of a fully assembled SBR to the ATF on your app.

@FourFans130 That’s not correct. You do not assemble an SBR until getting approval. The F1 simply provides info like serno on receiver and lengths. Submitting a F1 does not mean you currently possess an SBR, it means you intend to build one once you get approval. If someone is the unreasonably paranoid type, they can feel free to stash the lower at a friend’s house and keep the stock and upper at their house…an ATF raid on your house (which isn’t going to happen) would not produce an SBR.

But how would they know you have an “illegal” SBR (outside of you taking your pistol to a range and a LEO/ATF walks up and ask for your approved F1)? I fail to see any logic in how this ruling auto makes everyone with an AR pistol somehow on a “registry.”

Also, a common misguidance is “well I just don’t need that much money.” Totally agree, but what you will value for sure is an exceptionally large increase in QOL (with ability to choose whenever you want to give up some off days to make all that money to pay cash for the kitchen remodel your wife wants). I significantly underestimated QOL gains, it’s a real thing that just can’t be realized until you break free of the only work life you’ve known since you were 18-22ish.

Yes, “settle.” As a “169% sure I would never want to be a lame airline pilot” Capt, I’m here to say Capt me was horribly misinformed and misguided. Based on my experience, lots of young Maj and earlier types think being a GS-13 flying fighters until 55 is the holy grail. Turns out only a few guys in the entire ARC think that way as they actually get older, and I’m glad to have the few that go that route and still contribute. Say all this to the younger guys - there’s about a 98% chance you will not feel that way after a year or two into the ARC, so plan accordingly for life after full time AF pilot.

That video is a retarded argument. If you sent a picture of a fully assembled SBR as part of your F1 app (which is absolutely not a requirement) you’re a total idiot. This is fearmongering at its finest; and I say that as a huge proponent of firearms and a massive hater of the NFA.

That’s pretty fucked up.

So they changed flows/callouts and handed them out on a pamphlet with a slap on the ass and a “go get ‘em boys!” Sounds awesome.

What happened? Only have seen snippets about changing cockpit protocol or other gray language like that.

It’s financially non-sensical by a long shot to stay in and bypass years of seniority. You have to value certain intrinsic/non-monetary things far more. Nothing wrong with that, just stay in with eyes wide open and understand the long lasting ramifications of your decision as a young O-4. Spoiler: You can hit all those things in the guard, so really there actually is only one logical choice! I kid…sort of.
