Swizzle

So did an entire generation in Afghanistan, and we all know how...I digress

I believe it, guessing he must be an idea driven man. The kind who lacks social skills and so focuses on ideas. So his human connectivity is centered about ideas. The kind of boring conversionalist who only desires to discuss academic ideas with perfect solutions but rarily admitting the irrantional, realist ideas. And, then if your academic ideas aren't good enough he feigns interest or cut-and-runs so as not to go into his weakness - messy, irrational real life. And in the case of the USAF's monumentous agency cost blows a mental gasket. But no doubt that he produces great rational-centric arguments. ...could be wrong however. Back to a pint

BLUF: he has lingering emotional strings attached to Mother Blue and is angry she does dumb things. He attempts pursauesive logic to sway her irrationnal choice to no avail.

'Steam gauages' didn't stop my Huey time from being some of the BEST EVER flight experiences...ever. Something to be said about flying UNDER the ALS & ILS GS or landing on the postage-stamp HLZ! Saddle up, I'll go again!! Count this seat-meat in! (No Iranian iron however plz) The Osprey, however, is blocking my walk to the Huey! or the/any Herk!

Side note: new AFI 10-217 governing aircrew training signed by recent former AFSOC/CC governs much of this new virtual training. Ironically this new Aircrew Training Devices AFI release overwrote the former AFI topic which was the 'READY program' And yup, Redbirds of 48th FTS @Moody: Favorite article quote, "...maintaining the rate of production the Air Force needs...". So not growing? But maintaining 🤔

Augmented reality CRM, what could be better? Break, break: The first aircrew to hack AMF-S gets accolades. Imagine 'enhancing and modifying' the co-pilots visual appearance for better CRM!? What could go wrong?

Yeesh, got issues? Why the personnal attack on him? Cannot you not see the saying's wisdom that rules, this case political boundaries, are nearly ever absolute and context matters? Situations change and decisions adjust, boundaries adjust, and 'rules' revised. Even in matters of great importance like potentially escalatory actions against a nuclear superpower which seem make you blindy lash out against strangers. So, why this wild animalistic behavior? Scared of assertiveness? Like Providing weapons without restrictions because the situation changed.

Speaking of absolutes and their lingering hauntings

Got a friend who always says, "Rules matter till they don't." He's always been right save two exceptions - death and taxes. Haven't seen their exceptions, have seen their deductions!

FY25 NDAA markup includes.... https://www.businessinsider.com/republicans-move-strip-security-clearances-from-hunter-biden-letter-signees-2023-6 .. to effectively strip security clearances from any intelligence or defense official who signed on to an October 2020 statement that raised the question of whether the release of Hunter Biden's emails was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. As part of a much-larger bill funding US defense, Republicans on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense proposed prohibiting any funding to grant, renew, or maintain a security clearance for any official who signed the statement. More than 50 former intelligence officials, including former CIA Directors Mike Hayden, Leon Panetta, and John Brennan, signed the letter raising questions about the then newly published New York Post story concerning emails from Biden's laptop.

So Q- because they evaluate themselves? Heard somewhere, forget where, a new litigation TTP being used is hiring DA's with outspoken targets, then pursuing federal crimes in state courts under state rules. Think AR has it in them? How are their state rules?

The request to execute the warrant says has the 'more-to-this-story' (govt perspective) AND a judge approved that ATF TTP. That's the scary part, attempt to roll him up by force, from his 'castle', in the morning versus somewhere else when no violent crimes were assessed. They, that is ALL parties, created that scenario and end result. Bystanders and all parties now have regret because of end result...aka wrong TTP chosen IMHO, and foul...IF... trafficking arms. Now the ATF's TTP is called into question by all, including Congress. https://www.kark.com/crime/released-search-warrant-affidavit-shows-details-of-atf-case-against-little-rock-airport-executive-bryan-malinowski/ Ex.-1-Search-Warrant-003.pdf

Easy to say flaring is stupid when your landing gear struts are built like artillery barrels. Also in a normal approach to landing, or come-down, does that mean Navy bro's lay some rigorous pipe atop their shipmates aboard?

Plot thickens...was an AF pilot... https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-pilot-f-35b-crash-kirtland/

Darwinian-Belly-Flop winner!? Ouch. https://nypost.com/2024/05/28/us-news/passenger-dead-after-jumping-off-worlds-largest-cruise-ship/

Top pic: ...don't want to know what that far back seat, behind-the-goats-dude is smelling his finger for... Bottom pic: rockin' the flight approved sandals - nice.

As I recall that was his first FTU sortie power-up, yes? Not even taxied yet!

https://www.airandspaceforces.com/congress-wont-let-air-force-retire-t1s-might-accept-new-t-7s-built-without-contract/ .."defense bill won’t let the Air Force retire its T-1A Jayhawk trainers until the service’s new pilot training system is up and running and the Secretary of the Air Force certifies that retiring the jet won’t slow the pace." Let's see how this ages...

Ever any boats or other watercraft silhouetted? And guess our Navy marks their boat's with Battle Stars (or Es) instead of silhouettes.

We do, when there is a 🎈 balloon...

Anything to cancel student debt....
