The new airline thread
Yes...you get 'free' healthcare from the VA for 5 years post-separation if you served in a combat zone. After that, only service-connected issues are 'free' (meds, appointments, etc). It's a pretty good deal; I've had nothing but good experiences with the VA despite the horror stories that dominate headlines, save for some extended delays in getting appointments.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
A B-2 flying from SZL to a range in South Korea absolutely has a 'direct effect' on the enemy (and our allies). Acquiring various MiGs for the Red Eagles programs had 'direct effects'. A Mud Hen doing a low-level show of force during a TiC leading to the enemy breaking contact is a 'direct effect'...

What's wrong with the Air Force?
The only thing 'wrong' about this is that it took 4 years to get approved; I saw worse abuses of religious accommodation on active duty...

Do T-6 students practice SFO's or forced landings
I'm probably remembering wrong (10+ yrs ago), but I thought that (as a student) in the event of total loss of thrust, you either had to make high-key at home base (CBM) or punch. If it was a PEL, you could do that at any field long enough.

Do T-6 students practice SFO's or forced landings
I agree with you fully, and think we're doing a disservice to the studs by not making ELPs a requirement. Just saying it's an apples/oranges comparison for an engine-out scenario vs a gear issue with plenty of time to talk through it with tower/wingman/SOF/etc.
