Obama scolds the media for 'unfair' coverage of Hillary leading up to the election: https://money.cnn.com/2016/12/16/media/obama-clinton-coverage/ HAHAHAHA YGBFSM

My ramblings weren't meant to say that I think Russia/Putin > CIA/FBI. I've been skeptical of Putin ever since he won 140% of the popular vote in the election.

I don't think anyone wants to risk their career just to call me out on my bullsh!t. Never claimed to be an expert, but if someone with access to privileged information wants to claim that the info I get from the internet and Wikipedia isn't as accurate as their info just to look cool on a flying forum, be my guest....

No doubts here about capability for the Russians, or anyone for that matter, to hack the DNC. But I honestly think that a 12-yr old from Bangladesh could hack the DNC, route the attack through a VPN server in Russia, and CNN would still be trying to prove that the hacker account Guccifer 2.0 isn't Romanian. The intelligence community hired a contractor to find out the identity of Guccifer 2.0 (the account that claimed responsibility for the DNC hacks), and found out that the account did an interview on the "dark web" that said he/she/they hailed from Romania. Regardless, the contracting agency that specializes in cyber attack analysis said the the tactics were familiar with those of Russian hacking tactics; also, the language that was used to obtain the Russian VPN was, wait for it, Russian. BUT what they failed to mention is that some independent analysts (aka cyber experts on the internet) called bullsh!t on the report, and said that the e-mails in Russian looked to be crude pieces of sentences that would appear if you typed the Romanian equivalent into google translate. Our cyber-related investigation operations can be laughable. We hire a company called "l337 h4ck3rb0yz" or an 'independent consultant' named "xXpu55ysl4y3r69Xx" to investigate the cyber attacks, and sometimes the findings are incomplete. Finally...

"To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now." - Comey on Hillary's e-mail abuse That gave me all I needed to know about our intelligence community... Basically, if you're not a powerful politician, get ready to face the full extent of the law. Otherwise, just repeat "I didn't know" or "I don't recall"... Mention how smart phones and technology are scary and makes your head hurt, and be on your way with not so much as a "now, don't you do that again, you scoundrel you"

If you think that's bad, take a look at the Blue Angel crash report... Lost sleep over that one.

1. So if it's illegal Russian meddling, but it hasn't hurt our particular political party yet, we'll turn a blind eye? 2. Obama drawing a line in the sand and not doing sh!t when someone crosses it? Go figure. I would say Putin is our problem, not Russia as a whole... But then again, that's what you get when an ex-KGB guy takes control. And I expect the trickle-down will fvck us long term. Like ISIS, we'll be paying dearly for not nipping that problem in the bud. We do a great job of muddying our own democratic process. In fact, the DNC did a great job of undermining their own party with the coin flips and super-delegates. Not to mention the Stein recount is showing that Detroit (I think we all know who won there) reported more votes than there were ballots cast. I wonder what would happen if we took a look at a couple sanctuary cities in California or perhaps even New York? If the true intent of the recount is to assure no voter fraud was committed instead of to punish traditionally liberal-leaning states for voting Republican, let's get this gigantic waste of resources started in the blue states! I agree with a lot of what you say, and I disagree with a lot of what you say. Conflicting opinions are good, even if your opinion is wrong. :)

Didn't Obama spend tons of money on propaganda and other dirty tactics trying to influence the election in favor of anyone except Netanyahu? I personally would like a refund from that failed effort. Also...

Trust me, I could name drop the big contractors on this forum, talk sh!t for the next 5 hours, and sleep like a baby... But right now, we need less Twitter posts and more of Trump saying "OK, Mattis, go pick off your favorite limb from that willow tree and apply corrective action the old fashion way -- to the offenders in the government or their contractor buddies."
-
-
I knew I'd have to deal with the consequences of picking the wildcard eventually... One week he's appointing Mattis, and the next he's acting like a 17-year-old girl on Twitter. Maybe I'm a broken record, but regardless of your stance on the F-35, Trump needs to leave the military stuff to the guys who didn't defer the draft due to 'heel spurs' (no matter how accurate a diagnosis that was) and/or call out McCain because he likes "people who weren't captured." Get off of Twitter and deal with our economy - that's why I chose you instead of the butcher of Benghazi.
-
Jeez, guys... Get the ruler out and measure already. The words of course, not the other thing.
-
You're a Republican. I feel it in my bones.
-
Honestly, that might be enough to keep a grin on my face for the next 8 years. As for the rest of you nerds, I'm not impressed by your sesquipedalian prose.

OTS pilot applications ARE extremely competitive, but a 93 PCSM 2.0 at 40-60 hours is about as high as you can go. If you're looking at high 90s for your 200+ hours, I'm pretty sure you're about maxed out. I don't know when you took the test, but PCSM 2.0 is brutal for low flight hours. If you ran those scores recently, you're in really good shape.
-
OK, so you don't have time to take it again? I wasn't trying to pull you down about your AFOQT.. I just meant, given the choice of a retake between the TBAS and AFOQT, I would study more for the AFOQT and just retake that. I'm sure you could get in the 90s. Good luck! And make sure you read what the recruiter lays in front of you before signing. Plenty of horror stories on the boards and elsewhere about signing away your life for something you don't want to do.
-
Is that 85 your PCSM at 200+ hours or at 12 hours? If it's the latter, no need to be humble... Unless you held up a bank or have atrocious health you'd probably get a slot pretty easily. Just my $0.02
-
AFOQT pilot is a little low IMHO. My AFOQT scores: 99 pilot, 92 nav, 95 acad apt, 77 verbal, and 99 quant. My PCSM just went from 72 to 76 after I went from 34 hours to 40-50 hours. I was told at a recent interview with a fighter unit that I had "outstanding scores". I didn't happen to agree, but nonetheless smiled like an idiot and pretended to agree. The PCSM 2.0 makes flying hours count WAY more, and I guess I thought that the "sucks to suck" rule applied if you had a low score due to not enough hours. But then again they told me they look at the last column (i.e. 200+ hours), which for me would be low 90s. What's your PCSM at 200+ hours?

Mono? That can take you from stud to dud in no time with hardly any symptoms besdies "fvck, I feel worthless".

He's spent so much time on his knees it's not surprising that he was finally introduced to the ground by the good gents from Miami. Much respect to the Miami fans for booing his sorry ass off the field, too. Apparently Miami doesn't like Castro as much as Colin (GEE I WONDER WHY)....
-
This. If shit goes down and someone pulls a weapon in public, you don't want the guy who's carrying concealed but has never taken a safety course whipping that thing out and pointing it sideways while people are frantically running in every direction. That's an obvious gross exaggeration, but you get my point.
-
As it should be. Trump's expertise only helps to bring back jobs, boost the economy, and end government meddling. As far as the military is concerned, there are plenty of good, strong leaders that Trump can put in high positions to take care of business on the military side so he can devote more time to the economy. To help with the elimination process, I'm hoping Mattis has all the candidates sit Indian-style in a circle and runs his palm across the top of their heads saying "Weak...... Weak....... Boot!". Then he gets to chase one around the circle, and I think you know what happens if he catches them. As far as the cigarettes and beers go...

Formation landings would definitely fall under the "precisely" category. Did you think hitting the touchdown point was harder or easier in the T-38 vice the viper/eagle/raptor/etc?
-
T-38 is a pretty tough Aircraft to land precisely, though, isn't it? Ground effect doesn't like stubby wings.

"Socialist retards." No need to repeat yourself.
