  1. [\url] Have to wonder what the decent rate was on the J.
  2. I recall a Moose in AK taking mulriple 20mm hits. It didn't go far.
  3. Standing by for "If it had an engineer" in 3.....2.......1
  4. Yes it's valid. Was not disputing that.
  5. To be fair IIRC the eng called go around twice on the Kuwait incident. In 22 years of flying I never called a go around. I brought things to the attention of the pilot that made them decide to go around a few times. Things like "We're lined up on the taxi way" or stuff like that. Makes sense, less people less chaos and CRM issues.
  6. Eng didn't help the Herk in Blytheville AR.
  7. Same system as my wifes Nissan Titan.
  8. This started really growing in AFSOC shortly after it became a MAJCOM. In two years at Gp DOV I had five bosses run through just to get that stink on. One of them sent an email to all of us about how important it was for us to look good. Shiny boots, haircuts and all that. Nothing about airplanes. Holy shit, we wondered if we were in Stan Eval or SOS/PME school.
  9. A parachute is like a gun. If you need one and don't have one you will probably never need one again. Several bailouts from AC-130s in the Viet Nam.
  10. No thanks. Those look like a gunner tied them down. Big fail I see is straps going across sharp edges. When those straps get pulled tight they are easy to cut.
  11. So, will there be an Operational Diversity Management(ODM) form in the mission folder along with the ORM form?

    My gun porn. The one I lost in the flood looked like this. Simplicity defined and made in 1967. Edit, pic stole off the interwebs edit again because I would never have carpet like that

    Airwoman?

    My "older than you" statement. You could call an E-9 sergeant back in the day, it was in the reg. We would call real Chiefs, Chief, and E-9s sergeant.
  14. I too, was lucky enough to be schooled by dudes that flew Herks/Gunships in Vietnam.
  15. The militarization of the police is disturbing.

    Biden was hired to make Obama look smart. He is very good at his job.

    I tend to agree with you, just trying to get this out to as many people as I can.

    I never get tired of watching that shroud vid There was a Guard unit in LA after Katrina that agreed amongst themselves they would not confiscate any guns. Looking on youtube for video..... One Sheriff in NM is in. We will see how it goes IF the "gun grab" happens. https://www.pntonline.com/news/sheriffsayshewonu2019tenforceproposedgunban.html Roosevelt County Sheriff Darren Hooker says he swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution, not the federal government. So if a federal ban on assault rifles was to become a federal law, he’s made it clear it wouldn’t be enforced in the county. “The sheriffs don’t enforce federal law, and therefore I wouldn’t have to worry about it,” Hooker said. “It’s a federal law and I don’t have to.” Hooker joins sheriffs across the nation in opposition against the possibility of an assault rifle ban, after President Barack Obama proposed bans on military style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines earlier this week in his efforts to reduce gun violence in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre last month. No official ban has been signed into law, but New Mexico is among states where Republican legislators want to ban enforcement of federal gun laws, according to the Associated Press. Hooker reminds people that his oath is to the state of New Mexico and to the Constitution. “I believe the Second Amendment outlines the fact that we have the right to bear arms,” Hooker said. “It doesn’t say what kind, what shape, what size, what caliber. I feel as though bad people with the intention of doing harm will get weapons and the laws that may or may not be made will only infringe on the good people.” But Hooker’s colleague at the city feels differently about average residents having access to assault rifles. Portales Police Chief Doug Jones says he too stands behind the Second Amendment but uses more specifications than Hooker. “I don’t oppose the second amendment to the Constitution, it’s an amendment given to the citizens,” Jones said. “I have a problem with assault weapons.” Jones feels strongly that law abiding citizens should be allowed to own a gun but they have no need for assault weapons. “I don’t have a problem with someone owning a personal hand gun or hunting rifle,” Jones said. “I don’t think there’s a useful purpose for the average citizen to own an assault weapon with the large round capacity capabilities. Look at the name of the weapon, ‘assault’ weapons.” Jones says specific groups such as military and law enforcement officials have assault weapons for legitimate purposes but when those same weapons are placed in the wrong hands, it can have dire consequences. “If you look at the history of incidents like Newtown when these assault weapons were used, that’s what happens when individuals that have adverse ideas use them, then there’s multiple casualties,” Jones said. “If there’s a ban, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. As a law enforcement officer, I’ve been sworn to uphold the laws of the City of Portales, the state of New Mexico and the U.S. and that’s what I’m going to do.” Clovis Police Chief Steve Sanders says his personal opinion on the issue doesn’t matter. “I don’t really have a stance,” Sanders said. “We will hold whatever laws that are actually enacted. We don’t have a whole lot to do with it, it’s up to the federal government to take care of it.” Sanders understands there could be a potential ban on the purchase of assault weapons and he’s prepared to deal with what may or may not come next. “We’ll do whatever is required by us by law,” Sanders said.
