What squad in the academy are you in?

Wow. That is insane but unfortunately very believable. Talk about getting f’d

And you have failed to articulate what you disagree with in my post. You only sarcastically comment about turning down discounts. Never addressing the underlying issues I’ve brought up.

Your last sentanc is key. LEGITIMATE. Thanks for agreeing.

Disagree.

Far from two steps sir. Far from it. Its about serving with quiet dignity. That’s what it’s about. Getting discounts if people offer them is dignified. Take them! No problem. I think I’m trying to articulate (allbiet poorly) how the “hero worship” of everyone in the military is long term harmful to the profession of arms and not healthy for our democracy. And how it’s furthering the divide between the American people and her military. It’s not a new argument. I look at returning WWII vets... they came home victorious and went about their civilian lives without chest thumping and medals prominently displayed daily for people to see. Most never told their stories.

Pawnman, its not about the discounts brother. I promise you it’s not.

Hoss, I’ve thought more about your post the last week...and I think there’s a moral difference between documenting possible injuries/exposures that could manifest themselves more seriously later in life vs. the “document EVERYTHING to get AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN MILK FROM THE VA, cause you’re entitled to it, cause well, yeah, VETERAN DUH” attitude. Theres cleary a difference between the two attitudes. The later is disgusting in my mind. Thats what I was referring to in my previous post. People who leave after their service, uninjured, never deploying, never being shot at, wounded, or dealing with lost comrades...who file unsubstantiated claims with the VA just to get money. Just cause they can. That’s disgusting, vile, and morally hollow.

Yet another poster missing the point. I’m disheartened by the majority of the posts in this thread. Its not about discounts, or deals at lumber stores, or credit card offers. Thats not the point.

Huge “2” on both points

FWIW one of the c-17 crossflow guys was DG at IFF.

Huggy, the new seat is sequenced... what am I missing? id take the new one all day (I’ve flown both). No more trying to “beat the seat” which I always thought was super sketch. But you did feel 100% more badass stepping with a parachute on your back. I’ll take the C’s better performance lower to the ground, avionics over the A.

Seat: good plane: old leadership: failure

But in an awkward, PYB way... don't put that evil on me...

you've got to be kidding

fify its the rage among all millennials.

CH that's the first i've heard of that...I'm not sure your info is 100% accurate but if thats true then its a damn shame. especially knowing who's returning to afsoc soon

Stressed out about making major I guess

Haha. Cool man. Glad you’re a pilot. Cheers.

when does the 365 for light attack happen? asking for a friend

OCP is cool....flying in civilian clothes is cooler. holler

an "operator". lulz. love it. you got your subdued c-17 SOL2 patches on or wat? get at me son #C-17_Delta_Force #Bitch_I_Operate don't take it personally bro i'm a few whiskey's deep at 2 am....its all good but for the record youre a pilot. Not. An. Operator. Nothing wrong with that. I’m a pilot too. Shots x69

i'm pretty big blue jaded...so just trust me that Col P is the real deal. it's telling that he led the way among wing cc's getting rid of stupid shit. he can relate to his troops... tells it like it is...and says what everyone is already thinking. cant explain it more than that...but i'd follow that dude anywhere. isn't that what we all want?

palenske is a true fucking bawse. dude is the absolute truth.

I guess so. Just seems so common sense to not let someone convince you to blow them.
