Slumlord it is! Better late than never.

Either you don’t know the definition of high income earner or you’ve got some serious write offs / offshore banking going on. If it’s the latter, please share how you’re both making $200K+ each year and only paying 17% fed. We’d all like to know!

It’s an approved procedure, but also not required on “standard length” runways. Seen plenty of B model conventional takeoffs during normal ops.

We have the option of getting it ourselves or someone from Fort Worth delivering.

Maybe, maybe completely invalid. All depends on if one made a good spouse choice. @wikz If you meet someone who shares your values/morals, has good female/maternal qualities (even if you don’t want kids right away, those are still good qualities to look for), and is supportive of your goals, then do not pass her up. My wife has been instrumental in my life, and that includes 3 days after the honey moon when she moved alone to Vance and I went direct to party my face off at Maxwell for 6 weeks before starting UPT. The right one is out there, don’t be in a rush, but don’t go so fast you miss the signs of a quality mate. It may happen at the most unexpected time.

@Biff_T, your new truck is awesome!

I need that airplane Springer. Looks awesome!

After the 10+ time of telling CO I have not been a resident for 10 years and to take me off their registered voter list (and they promised me they would), my in-laws received yet another mail-in ballot for me. The election machine is well oiled in this country, nothing to see here!

Life in prison - no excuse for that level of fuck up.

Depends on the company. Covid proved the legacies are too big to fail. Just like banks in 2008. Not saying there won’t be turbulence, but legacy guys are a lot safer than (U)LCC guys. Just don’t think we’re going to see a AAL/DAL merger or something along those lines.

Sent to herkbier…if anyone else needs it, send NIPR email via PM (or to abmwaldo I suppose).

@herkbier PM me NIPR email and I’ll send it (pretty sure I have it in my email, but I’ll check in the morning). Or your bonus coordinator should have it, but I assume you’ve already gone down that road and they’re useless.

It also so far has been in shithole countries (compared to our standards) and any death cases that actually have details beyond just a stat admit multiple underlying conditions. This is more than likely just a repeat of the same fear mongering bullshit we saw with COVID. They want to keep/increase control, and they’ll do anything to accomplish that goal.

That is a good point. My state is very liberal (in a good way) on guns. But for example, you are in violation of the law if carrying <1000 ft from a school, but if you have a license you can carry right up to the property line. You could conceivably have a traffic stop on a road 900’ from a school and be charged if found to have a gun and not a license. Not too likely, but there are more scenarios like this that can and do exist in constitutional carry states. Bottom line, be informed!

Have to have goals!

I completely understand the distaste for trump, but holy shit, if one votes a second time for this disaster admin, they’re brain dead.

Meh, the 401k is going to be taxed at a 96.9% rate by the time I retire. Might as well spend more money now on shit that is way more useful and life enriching - not stressing over not quite making a max. Dying with millions in the bank isn’t my jam…but leaving 5 airplanes and an undisclosed amount of guns and knives to my kids is!

Third option - carry a multitude of gun options in an IWB holster behind your hip…t shirt, jacket, who gives a shit. As long as it’s not a crop top and your not trying to pack a full size frame, you’ll be fine.

You will fly a lot less compared to an AF squadron and will be low priority (as stated above). When you do fly, it’ll predominantly be 4 ships at best. Bro who occasionally flies with Beaufort will literally fly single ship with other single ships in the same airspace…because, risk, or something? Your AF bros will be flying way more challenging stuff on a regular basis that the Marines only sniff in an AF exercise or weapons school. They’re great dudes who are smart and capable. And I’m sure there are cool memories to be made, but don’t go in with any high expectations regarding flying. Also, one B-model EP sim was enough for me to never want to fly that thing over an A or C.

Absolutely it’s purposeful and calculated. By retarded I mean they lack the ability to have rational and logical thoughts.

What’s interesting is I remember guys going through UPT with 300-900 civ hrs, and aside from one, the rest were average to slightly below average. My guess is it had to do with how different the “mil way” is vs. the “civ way.” I fly a lot of GA, including in the commercial world, and it’s just different…plenty of competent civ guys that would epically fail in mil flying without going through a mil-specific course ran and taught by mil pilots. To be fair, I know a lot of mil guys who would kill themselves (or get violated) rapidly in GA without specific training.

I’m not sure what the best fix is, but this kind of shit has happened way too much in the past several years. I almost certainly would be a victim of it if they fucked up and got the wrong house. I understand allowing no knocks (easy to say you’re against them until you’re an LEO at the door), but perhaps they should only be allowed for extremely dangerous situations (e.g. not just one guy), and if you’re complicit in selecting the wrong house/someone innocent gets killed, you get charged with murder and spend the rest of your life in prison…that’ll at least better incentivize not fucking that up.

I hadn’t thought about those guys, but man you’re right, I don’t know what those poor bastards are going to do. I’ve heard of some decent jobs in the civ world, but how many? Direct man-in-the-loop RPA ops as we know it (at least in the mil) doesn’t have a long life ahead of it.

That’s epic. How does one find that amount delivered without joining @Biff_T on the dark web?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/major-columbia-protest-organizers-have-ties-to-left-wing-donors/ar-AA1nuWZW Here’s a very surface level snapshot. Do some digging/reading and you’ll see this is all funded/organized by similar actors as BLM in 2020. Same big pic goals with a different label. First learn who CUAD is and what groups are under its “umbrella,” then learn where those various groups get their funding from.
