Cool, so am I, and I do as well. I've also seen where the company really wanted someone in a critical need billet, and the adjunction authority said "tough shit" and denied the clearance, thus denying that person in that billet.Passing a background check is one thing; maintaining a security clearance as a contractor is another thing.Former U.S. Air Force Pilot Arrested for Providing Defens...Former U.S. Air Force officer and pilot Gerald Eddie Brown, Jr., also known by the call sign “Runner,” 65, a U.S. citizen, was arrested today in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Brown was charged by criminalDid I not answer your question?Why do you ask my opinion on almost every single post I make trying to bait me into what you’re assuming my stance will be? I agree with Lord Ratner’s take on it. I think a DFC with valor and a Purple Heart, but I don’t think it crosses over into MoH territory. To me it takes a type of gallantry such as saving life/lives of fellow service members while being attacked or superior heroism (e.g. John Leviton). I do respect the fact it’s hard, if not impossible, to directly compare the combat events and actions of the recipients to each other. But in the end I’m not the POTUS, so it doesn’t really matter what I think.What I meant is called guided discussion, which is what I received since multiple people have commented with multiple opinions on the topic.You sound like you read into comments trying to shape some preconceived narrative you’ve already formulated in your head.Medal of Honor for flying into Venezuela?The latter. The KC-46 has an upgraded APU from a 767-200 due to the amount of power needed for the RVS system and to mitigate OBIGGS resets. To use power carts, it either takes one bigger external power cart or two of the smaller ones used on the KC-135.https://www.newsweek.com/state-dept-advises-shelter-place-mexican-army-kills-jalisco-cartel-mencho-11563510The MRTT also holds eight 463L pallets in the forward and aft lower cargo hold. The KC-46 holds 10 centerline and 18 side-by-side (before that FCIF restricting side-by-side cargo loading due to another Boeing design fuck up). Every KC-46 can do AE missions, unknown about the MRTT because countries either configure them for full cargo hauling with the “cookie sheet” pallets civilian cargo uses or full passenger A330 config. The MRTT also isn’t cleared to refuel conformal fuel tank (CFT) F-16 two-seaters due to the lack of clearance due to the massive size of the boom (STS) compared to the KC-46. Then you have the strategic mission that the KC-135s do, the KC-10s didn’t, and the KC-46s sorta due. Unknown how the MRTT would do that mission. If Boeing fixed the RVS with RVS 2.0, stopped the APUs from prematurely failing, fixed the cargo loading system/cargo floor, the KC-46 wouldn’t be that bad.
