lol Yup it does, just fixed the post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yeah apparently any time I type numbers it was doing this. Yes, using tapatalk 160th guess it works now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So why did typing 1 6 0 result in that absolute disaster of text coding???? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We don’t lose missions to the 160th. In my 12 years we all flew specific roles within the missions we participated in together. Ospreys aren’t going to a contested X (no shit), but we were certainly there doing other roles or other unique missions. Frankly we ended up (as a community) doing a few things the 160th couldn’t. The hostage rescue in 2020 is a great example. The most interesting/rewarding missions I ever did had nothing to do with infil/exfil. The relationships we had with different SOF from around the world were second to none, built over years of working together closely and doing some awesome things. I personally don’t think any other AFSOC airframe had that kind of close relationship with the teams. The reality is that both organizations serve a purpose and the aircraft within have their niche roles for SOCOM. Overall I thought things worked fairly well. But to say we lost missions to the 160th is naive. I agree with most everything else said on here. I left AFSOC for other pastures mainly due to my personal feelings about the lack of any direction of the command. While I loved the airframe and the people I flew with, AFSOC was destroying the program (amongst many other programs) with Bold Moves. Combined with the HCE issue and now the fallout of (criminal) actions of the PRGB parts manufacturer…..the community is in a very hard spot. It was a great place to be until it wasn’t. I consider myself lucky to have been part of it when I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Edit to add: What an entitled twat. Just need to rip the band aid off and call college football what it is rapidly becoming at this point: semi-pro/minor league football. I’ve always found it interesting how we’ve developed sports hand in hand with schools. In the overwhelming majority of the world, sports are tied to the community clubs. Kids grown up within the local clubs, eventually reaching an age where they can be signed by pro clubs. It was wild to me that my neighbor’s 7 year old kid in the UK was in the youth development program for a premier league club. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It is criminal and I hope the SWIFT11 and GUNDAM22 families are successful in their lawsuits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It was a shitshow in AFSOC/HQ with him and Davidson pushing this crap. The best part was bringing up any of the off cycle contingency stuff or MDS’ that didn’t have enough resources to support the construct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m still confused what problem big blue is solving by sending people to a civilian school (for PPL, instrument, multi-eng), then to T-6s. Other than some artificial bubble where they can say ‘look, we’ve reduced the T-6 pipeline by 6-9 months.’ PCS and/or TDY costs to send them to these civil schools certainly has to be more expensive and result in a longer timeline than just going to UPT. Also not sure how it is going to scale up from a SGTO to 1300+ students a year. Great cash cow for the civ schools though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

At what point we just offload all our pilot training to the civil sector. /sarcasm I’m curious to see how this is faster, more cost effective, what oversight there is on the civilian schools, and how it is actually going to produce better pilots. The amount of flail the past few years by 19th AF was wild to watch, and it continues. Maybe we should just stick with something for a bit rather than live in a constant state of change. Guess I’ll find out soon as I just got back to UPT (T-6 IP). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Well this went a weird direction, wasn’t aware of that kind of toxic idea/attitude/movement with some vets. We all have knuckleheads in our various MWSs, my story was to highlight those people because they deserve the razz. Back to B-1s doing SEAD in OIF…..tell us more.

Always loved the ‘we got shot at short final to Kandahar’. Sure ya did. My personal favorite was 2017 Iraq. Was in a 4-ship flying just north of Tikrit, cruising at 10,000 when a ‘130 passing above us calls out heavy AAA that was tracking them. They then punched flares. It was a riot to us watching from below. I’m sure they got their AFCAMs…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

When were B-1s getting shot at by SAMs? This popped up on my feed: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_m5cDMuotx/
