Some people are soft, that's true everywhere. I've met ground dudes who've never engaged or been engaged yet still claimed PTSD for the stress of running convoys. And who am I to judge? I'm not a psychologist. I like robot drivers, I just thought the article was ridiculous and humorous.

https://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/08/22/drone-pilots-suffer-ptsd-just-like-those-in-combat/?intcmp=obnetwork I'll just leave this here.

How does that ratio compare to last year? Seems like there were only a few alternate slots for candidates last year; slim pickings.

Your assessment differs with all the others I've heard. Where are you getting your data? Overall I disagree with your opinion of the situation; but truthfully there's a lot no one knows since our collection networks disappeared after the withdrawal. So I'm interested to hear other view points, but I'm approaching yours with skepticism.

I recommend an exemption clause for some of us...... Otherwise I'm in big trouble.

I totally disagree.

Hell yea! Fuck jury duty.

All kidding aside-- If you can't imagine calling crew rest deployed, than your imagination is small. Pushing it up to support a TIC or strike? Good on you, until you pass your own limits and make mistakes; then you're doing more harm than good. There's a balance between dogmatically following rules and habitually blowing them off. I've been fortunate enough to have leadership who recognized that and taught me judgement. Hope you guys are the same.

Fozzy, here's how I remember the difference: FDP is the one we sometimes violate. CDD is the one we always violate. Have fun out there!

Yup, concur. Conversely, we're also engaging and killing the enemy in places where we aren't authorized CZTE. The whole system is a mess.

Well played.

My new favorite scotch. Highly recommend.

Unsat, but standard.

I was just trying to update your post, hope it didn't come off wrong.

Nope. MC12 or RPA maybe, but not these.

Maybe you should read my post again since I did not say anything you are attributing to me. I don't know whether or not we have had a net positive affect based on the wars. I certainly didn't say anything about our "homeland" and responding to somebody with quotation marks about something they didn't say is a foul. We have had the wrong strategy, based on a faulty understanding of the nature of our enemy which has lead us astray. That said, I do genuinely believe the named objectives we're fighting are terrible people and I would rather spend my time hunting them than flying for the airlines.

I don't know man. I'm so accustomed to black it feels weird buying a different color. That said, their execution of FDE combined with black rails looks pretty cool. I'll let you know & post some picks if I grab it up. Cheers.

Speak for yourself. While I've also been frustrated with the execution of the wars, I still view killing jihadis before they behead civilians as a valid use of my time and worthy of my best effort.

I might execute your suggestion now that I'm seeing prices in the 1650$ range! The fit/finish seem nice and the mag change isn't as awkward as I thought it would be; but my impressions come from handling not actually shooting.

Do you think the activities in those locations would continue unabated without SOFAs in nearby countries?

Any thoughts on the IWI Tavor? Purpose would be range fun and maybe a class.

What do the quotes around drones mean? And what makes you think we'd send assets into a location without a SOFA?

All that said, thoughts on making bomber dudes into fighter guys and MAF guys to bombers for their backfill? This whole shortage/overage issue seems like a surmountable obstacle.
