Not at all, just naive.

AFI 36-2903 and dress/uniform regs and issues
But it says you can wear white socks with the FDU, but then it says white socks only with athletic shoes. So that means you can wear athletic shoes with a bag.

Ranger Pilot Operator: Video Game Inspired Stuff
Come on guys, he just wants to be as cool as us. Don't get discouraged, Trinity Kid, if a normal ordinary guy like me can do learn to do awesome stuff in and out of the jet, so can you. Why here's some video of a sweet move I pulled off just last week: https://orig13.deviantart.net/641d/f/2012/020/3/0/battlefield_3_gif_1_by_mechadeku-d4mzsl9.gif

What's wrong with the Air Force?
I think in 100 years people will look back in amazement at how concerned we are with tracking skin tone. Every application wants to know my race and heritage. WTF?

U-2 Dragonlady info
As soon as the Global Hawk reaches parity, which by nearly every measure is impossible, soooo...
-
B-2 Spirit info
That would seem to suck. Being able to control your own hiring process is what makes communities like the B-2 and U-2 (and Guard and Reserves) great. What's the reasoning? More command opportunities for guys from other airframes? A jealous AFPC General that was turned down as a Capt?

Saddle up for Syria? Or Op Deny Christmas '13
Can somebody explain why Russia gives a shit about Assad?

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
The ability to make decisions under pressure is vitally important for a leader. Aviation highly refines that skill. "Management" doesn't, necessarily. Certain career fields must have home grown leaders. Firemen, cops, soldiers, pilots, doctors, etc look around a room and see themselves as the top dogs. They will never really respect a leader from another career field, or even one from their own group that is subpar. This is just the way things work.

Reporter, Camera Man Shot and Killed
I agree that the shooter was probably motivated by the idea that millions would watch his video, especially considering he was a narcissistic TV personality. But I'm almost certain that he wouldn't have wanted the world to repeat "what a giant fucking cunt" when they see his face, which is what I do.

Force of the future DOD personnel plan
Agreed, there are some great ideas in there, but I can see the bureaucracy creating a mountain of regs to implement them. "Up or out" will be especially hard to get rid of. Also, we'd like more money, sure, but a "performance bonuse" sounds like a payday for the pepper grinders.

KC-46A Info
There should be a binding congressional resolution to prevent any service from naming a plane "Something II".

U.S. F-16 crashes in Germany; pilot safe
The enlisted in California seem to hate it here. Apparently it boils down to taxes (which they don't pay anyway) and...um...ten round magazines? Edit: and I'm glad the dude got out safe

A major change in military pay?
And we thought the Air Force was run by peppergrinders now...wait until we start giving bonuses based on strats.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
This all sucks. These dudes should just have to sign an 18X ADSC; if they take a manned jet for a 2nd assignment then they could serve out the original UPT commitment.

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
I'm not sure how an internet drink-off goes, but I assume it looks like this:
-
Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
Nice name dude. You spelled it wrong.
-
Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
So the Army has 400 combat CAS-experienced pilots who are clamoring for RPAs; while the Air Force is torturing their current RPA pilots and can't seem to figure out where to find new ones. Sounds about right.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
Don't use words like noobsauce. You are a grownup.

F-35 Lightning info
Dude, this is an article from a clueless website about the hypothetical results of a video game.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
"If I can't go to a fighter, I'd rather stay in RPAs than fly some heavy jet! I am 100% sure I'll never want to fly for the airlines!"
-
F-16 & Cessna mid-air over SC
Charleston is actually -600' MSL, so his math checks.
-
F-35 Lightning info
That article was written like a shitty college essay: search for quotes that support your idea, dismiss the claims of the side you disagree with, and assume the claims of the opposition are fact.
