Soooo.....am I the only one who wakes up every day hoping to find some patriotic Russian has put a 9mm sized hole between Putin's eyeballs? No....ok, carry on

Welp, guess I'll just keep being overdue, so.....GFY

What are the chances DM gets -35s long term? Since, you know, the -35 is replacing the Hawg 😑

There is ZERO WAY the implementation of this is not completely fucked up like a football bat.

I keep seeing this thing getting kicked around. Where, though, did it actually come from?

I don’t read that as I can’t have a colored morale shirt in my flight suit. I read that as the Mx or LRS troop can have a Friday shirt in their OCPs with a big logo on the back.

Then you get idiots like MTG who are actively advocating for shit like that and it really makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Strictly speaking, 8AF owns Minot. 91MW is a tenant unit.

I do seriously think Putin invading Ukraine, porking it away massively, and doing more for NATO unity than any western leader in the last 20 years… …staved off China invading Taiwan. If I was a Chinese general, circa right after our Afghan debacle, I would’ve been screaming that there was no better time than right freakin’ now to cross the Straight in force. The US just took a massive black eye, had very little national unity, and was sapped militarily. Conditions were ripe for national “reunion”. Then Putin goes full retard, invades and galvanizes world opinion against him, gets a tremendous economic bitch slap, and makes himself a pariah on the world stage. I don’t think anyone expected the unified response we saw, and I think that made China sit up and recalculate whether invasion was worth it or not.

As of 1500L CST…nothing on myPers

“We’re not telling you you have to get one…but we’ll know if you don’t and hold it against your accordingly” Also effective 1 Jan 23…fuck literally everybody in the YGs coming up for boards soon

I would subjectively say life in the bomber force is busier than when GWOT was a thing. Everybody wants a BTF, and the old "I'm going to Guam for six months every eighteen months" is long a thing of the past. I always said Buff life was great for stability because in the course of a normal ops tour, you could pretty much pin down exactly you were gonna be gone over your three-four year tour. Now we're on the road a whole lot more than we used to be, much more often and with much less predictability. Like Brabus said, holding the line against the next war.

I’m not saying we all haven’t seen aircrews do some dumb shit with airplanes, but PCN, PPR, etc is basic Day one stuff, and especially old hat for you AMC types who land all over the place. The more I think about it, something seems rotten in Denmark, and by Denmark I mean Stillwater.

One guy (who I guess is the program manager or ramrod for this thing) was enthusiastically defending it on various facebook pages and was "overwhelmed with the huge turnout"...I haven't heard or seen shit since the summer.

That averages close to one a month…

~$250 for O-4 with dependents at Offutt...I'll take it (sts)

I find Juan Brown is usually at least respectful. Dan Gryder is condescending and exceedingly full of himself.

I've been trying to avoid digging into this too much because of the vitriol, but I've seen a couple of things posted from what I consider to be fairly reliable sources that the P-63 may have hit a drone (footage supporting this exists), which could have been a contributing factor to the mishap. Thoughts, anyone?

You want to stay at one base for a long time, go to the Buff. I did nine years at Barksdale.

FUCK

Yawn….in the Buff we call that “Tuesday”…

All it takes to know this administration isn’t at all about “Unity” is look at their social media. Every third post from both the POTUS and White House IG touts how great Joe is and how much Republicans suck, and the world would be such a better place if the GOP would just get in line with Joe’s policies.

A certain meme producer on a certain platform has been calling loudly, screaming even, for anyone flying the -46 single pilot to be blackballed by the airlines. That may be where the ALPA talk is coming from

Tell me where the bad EW touched you…
