This was found on the USS Goatrope back in ‘69 before all these millennials came and ruined everything.

How is it possible that a guys UPT records were good enough to get B-1’s but not good enough to fly something else when that didn’t work out. That’s mind blowing.

Anyone else watch that? Interesting piece that talked about the frat where an ODA inadvertently called a strike on themselves and the B-1 was unable to see the friendlies marked by strobes. Thoughts? Perspective from that incident?

Anybody here fly the MAFFS mission? I’m interested in that post AD but I’m not a 130 guy. Would that matter to those units?

Instructional Fix: CSAF should read “The 5 Love Languages”.

Easiest 6 grand I ever made.

Consistent as gravity.

Upvoted for 2x 777 maintenance.

From the cheap seats, if I ever go down, please come get me ASAFP! I don’t care if you’re AF, Army, Italian, or Bernie Sanders. I’ll be the guy curled up in the fetal position weeping softly.

Hydrazine considerations? I know that stuff is nasty as hell but how would that affect CFR?

He probably did coke off of some hookers ass at Tailhook back in the day so he didn’t see the problem.

Never walk away from a thread on a heater.

Down voted for 777 maintenance. And I started this, btw. You can at least throw a couple percent my way.

Hopefully you put yourself in for a bunch of awards.

Well this took an interesting turn. Thanks for your candor, Pawnman.

The spirit of being an exec may be grooming and such, but let’s be honest that it has morphed into a way to reward certain guys for their administrative skills. Additionally, look at a rack and stack and see where the wing execs fall. You honestly think that the best a Wing has to offer goes there because that’s where they belong? It has totally become a box to check if you want to be successful in the Air Force’s eyes. *Break Break* Hypothetical question for the masses and Pawnman. With your revelation that you have been in your same wing forever and have been submitting yourself for awards every quarter, do you think your “P” allocation had anything to do with that? From a completely outside and neutral source, if I saw a guy doing that, I would think he was a douche. Your reasoning makes sense, but do you think that is an unintended consequence?

Maybe having kids has sapped my energy or something, but I can’t imagine giving as much of a shit about anything that he seems to care about everything.

You could look at AFSOC AC/MC-130 or HC/EC-130 and stay in ACC if you are just trying to avoid the iron triad.

You can take Patches and get them sewn onto helmet bags on base or wherever you get uniform alterations done. If you have a motivated LPA, you can get all sorts of good swag. However, that seems to be few and far between these days. Visor covers are the closest thing I’ve seen to helmet art and those are alive and well.

Definitely valid points and instead of championing the cause of the airmen versus video game coder, I’ll concede the point.

In that case, don’t disqualify yourself from flying fighters because of your on perceived weaknesses. The things that got you offered a job flying heavies will probably translate to getting hired flying fighters (aka you’re probably a good dude). I’ve never flown heavies, but there’s plenty of boring flying in all types of jets. Plenty of exciting flying too. The daily training lines in fighters are more exciting than pilot pro in heavies, but downrange is plenty of sitting on some sort of orbit waiting for something to happen in anything.

I’ll go to Google and tell them I’m a Weapons School graduate and want them to hire me. Think they’ll give a shit about that? What about a PJ? I doubt they’d care about his MFF qual or dive bubble. I’m not saying CCAF is the same as WIC or anything else, but everything in the military isn’t just a a way to pad your civilian resume. And if I worked at Google and some kid that had served honorably in the military for several years and did some professional development like CCAF along the way, I’d be very interested in that person as a candidate vice some guy that’s fresh out of college that knows how to smoke weed and exist through 4 years.

Has the accident report been released on that?

What’s wrong about that video?
