Pawnman, you have already failed, dude. Don't even leave the briefing room. I detect a noticeable lack of fabulosity in your line-up. No rainbow in your coalition, so to speak. If you can up your diversity accounting, your mission will be a successful even if your bombs only prove that gravity works because you don't hit squat or get shot down enroute. Consider a "two-fer." A gay female with transgender issues might be all that is needed to make your plan a winner. Regarding the idiot and the bikini picture. The problem is crusaders like Liquid who are driving the bus that somehow think we can isolate ourselves from our society at large. Reminds me of that movie "The Village" where people were unhappy with the way the world was going so they built a large wall and sealed themselves off from the rest of humanity. That actually might work at Cannon but the rest the AF deals with societal interactions involving commonly accepted topics, images, words on television, radio, internet, magazines, books, parties, beaches, malls, or just walking down the street that are now deemed offensive by a few inside the AF. Unfortunately, this is going to continue because there is no scale. Any offense is deemed valid. A Supreme Court justice, when writing about hard core pornography wrote, "I know it when I see it and the motion picture in this case is not it." Nobody is willing to stand up and say "This is not offense worthy, thanks for your input." Instead, we have people inventing problems (black eye or bikini picture) and getting animated over the response or lack thereof to the invented issue. No doubt the AF has real problems. Defining the problem is the first step. If your definition of the problem iincludes "Everybody else's generally accepted behavior on the planet", then I think you are going to have a real hard time fixing your problem.

Thought I heard the F-35 guys were going to be using a HANS device like used in NASCAR due to the helmet weight.

If it is AF policy to not display such items and this person intentionally displays such an item, is this person guilty of violation of AF policy? What other rules are okay to violate to see if someone calls you on it? Speeding? Altitude restrictions? Financial fraud? I don't think this is should be an acceptable technique for the evaluation of AF guidance.

This is not being taught at the Weapons school....yet. Apparently, for better mission effectiveness in the future, you can't push to the target until you have fullfilled certain quotas guaranteeing a diverse package. (Can I still say package or has that gone on the "do not say" list, also?) https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/362539/pentagons-chief-personnel-and-readiness-officer-diversity-and-inclusion-critical

Who was the rocket surgeon that spent money on this test? For half the price in $1 and $20 increments, you could have gone to Vegas and completed this study. Not sure how the AF is going to remove this genetic defect out of everybody but I expect some of you guys will hear about it in the near future. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/29/body-shape-objectification-technology/3287287/

If that is what is happening in AMC, it is an absolute pile of chickenshit. Nobody ever goes out and flies a perfect ride every time. Just does not happen. If the guy could get safely to and from the target, handle an IFE, and fly an approach in order to get another jet and go out and kill more bad guys, he was good to go. Throwing down Q-3s from Mt. Olympus is an even higher level of chickenshit. UFB. Micromanagement at its worse.

Hey, here is some good news, pages of regulation regarding governing the healthcare of Americans has topped 11.5 MILLION pages. Healthcare for all will certainly be better now. https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/penny-starr/11588500-words-obamacare-regs-30x-long-law

No. In my years as an evaluator I've had guys commit some interesting errors like report initial at 500 feet, forget to reset an altimeter (WTF is an A-10 guy doing above FL180??), get lost and attempt to fly over KRDU, take me IFR in a pop, and a plethora of other weird stuff. Those all resulted in downgrades and were debriefed appropriately. The only Q-3 was a great dude on a Single engine approach that over finessed the approach and forgot the gear. Hard to overlook that one as a "momentary deviation but correcting" when I had to make a call to remind him on a 2 mile final.

A boomer can Q3 a pilot?

I am sure this chart explains where to find the answer. Seriously, what could possibly go wrong? https://www.jec.senate.gov/republicans/public/index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=8e6dbf03-ca4a-44be-9de4-a100c43fb5c8

I am not an expert and did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. A detail I've heard regarding this catastrophe of a plan is Caddilac plans are defined as health care plans with a total value over $10K for singles or $27K for families and the compaines providing those plans will have to pay a 40% tax on those plans starting in 2017/18-ish. I'm guessing this is going to generate a whole lot more WTF?? moments as companies drop plans and opt to pay the fine/tax/alms/penance to the Government.

Maybe the house should pass a spending bill expressly to service the debt. Once again the Senate will not take it but it will certainly be another difficult position for the Democrats to justify.

Interesting question. My wife and I were discussing this last night. I'm not sure how bad you think the economy might get but whatever you decide on has to be considered to be of value to both parties if you want to exchange it for goods or services with another person. For instance, going full Mad Max here in the U.S., a chicken might be more desirable to another person than a wad of Krona. Gold is always a universal crowd pleaser.

Yeah, but do we build a wall at the Red River to keep all the troublemakers out?

Potential flight attendant in the making.

Then it will lead to horsepower limits. No more than 4 cylinder, 1.2 liter max with speed governor set to 55mph with a kill switch enabled and controlled by the NSA. For the children........

DC may have to ban cars after this.

I think the full retard train left the station a while back and a lot of idiot Americans are onboard happily and furiously shoveling coal to make it go faster.

Does finding a dead whore on the roadside count as a rape song?

Got to start raising funds for WW3...and maybe 4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z-sdO6pwVHQ&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dz-sdO6pwVHQ

It looks like he got himself in a bind with this "red line" comment. Insulting Britain over the last several years didn't help either. By lobbing the decision back to Congress, it appears he is back to voting "present" and thus not responsible for the outcome.

He should have taken her out on the lake.....and not brought her back. People end up accidentally ducted taped to anchors all the time.

A) What the hell is special operations air refueling in regards to a -135? and B) Someone might want to inform the guys at Ft. Campbell that the definition of SOAR has been changed.

You could pick this thread up and drop it in the mid-90s and it would fit.

NTSB has been sending out tweets with nuggets of info.
