That anything like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDPQumbccCY

CGOPA? IMHO, the CGO's should (PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR BLUE KOOL-AID SOAKED BRAINS EXPLODE) exercise judgement on saluting each other. If I'm a Lt going out to lunch with some Capt bros and meet them in the parking lot, I'm not going to salute them when they show up to my car. If I'm walking past them into the building and there are others around, I'll salute them. Just exercise some judgement and common sense. I think they're working that into PME in the next courseware update so it should be easier to grasp.

Sounds like those people standing around Spain around 1492.

As long as they carry the Hades bomb, I'll check it out.

I'd like to hear a Gunship crew say "well only 3 friendlies were hit, but at least we got him!"

1. I read that as officership type stuff. Not flying or SA related deficiencies. UPT guys? 2. I read that as if you can get someone to pull some strings for you and specifically mention you, you could get it signed off. Good luck to you

Pretty sure this aired Sunday after supper so morale was high.

He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, as well. Which makes it all the more interesting.

Surprised nobody said anything about this yet. A new book - "No Easy Day" - is set to be released on Sept. 11 that details the raid that killed Bin Laden and was written by one of the SEALs who was actually part of the element that kicked down the door and killed Bin Laden. Obviously, questions about OPSEC and things of that nature are running rampant as a result. So is the author "Mark Owen" (pseudonym for the actual author who has been revealed by Fox News if you want to find him)a hero or a rat for breaking the silence of such a top secret mission? https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/24/will-no-easy-day-book-on-bin-laden-raid-break-seals-code-of-silence.html

I meant to click like.

Maybe woodworking will be the next big push for stratifying.

I'm a little disappointed that people can't figure out how to act in the military without an almighty AFI telling them what to do. Just show some freakin' decency and do what you know is right without hiding behind a reg. IMHO.

FIFY

Having a T-38 background could help you if there is a fighter crossflow a la that late 90's. But like my esteemed colleagues have said, the MAJCOMs don't know and/or track what guys flew in UPT. They only care about what someone is coded now and how they fit into the manning scheme. With all the fighter manning problems (I know it's staff jobs that are undermanned), it wouldn't surprise me to see guys flow into fighters. I have absolutely nothing other than a hunch to back that up so FWIW.

^Would probably lead to...

Hell yea! Good on you guys Breckey.

No shit. "This is how cowards do war"? WTF should we do? Go have a sword duel Ninja Gaiden style?

At least you didn't have someone from your community give dome to a crew chief like 30 years ago...

Fighting Falcon standard.

Pretty sure he meant specific store...

Fly a lot of TACC in a Cessna?

I think the CTS is the biggest joke I've ever heard. If you guys really followed the CTS to the letter, how does a guy get every single thing "U" on his first ride in a block when he was able to do most of the stuff decently well? I don't care at all about getting a downgrade back in UPT. I just always found it funny that everything is graded to the almighty "course training standards" and it's a straight line of U's that progressively moves to F's then G's then E's. Sanity check: I understand you don't want to take the time to zig zag up and down everyone's grade sheet after another basic contact sortie and I wouldn't either. Not attacking you or anyone really, just find it funny. But back to the thread! C-17 performance is pretty damn impressive and land at the big runway instead of the little one.
