  1. I’m pretty sure we’ve spiraled through the floor.
  2. You are clearly emotionally connected here, but this is irrelevant. It literally could have happened anywhere where anyone of us has lived and flown. The guys with experience in these operations are mostly logically trying to walk you through their process and provide perspective based on the known circumstances, which would similarly be taken whether it’s a stolen jet near jblm or near hill or Leavenworth.
  3. This sounds like a copy and paste of the Democratic national narrative. However, the socialistic welfare state that side has been pandering for decades is the ultimate case of immediate benefit while eroding the future. Votes now from people for an idea of free things that sound good, while further handcuffing people to handouts by way of learned helplessness with no ability to pay for said handouts in the long run. Security clearances are granted based on a need to know combined with a job that requires said clearance to function. That’s the only reason any of us have access to any classified. These former officials no longer have the need for continued access any more than the day one of us leaves the service. Nice hypoerbole about SF86s, though.
  4. Sounds like expanding the requirement to go through DTS/TMC further, if I’m reading that correctly. Great.
  5. That sounds line a task easily done by someone with OJT. But I’m not an expert on rules that would govern that activity.
  6. And this is what every discussion started by enlisted guys about how making them WOs would solve all problems is missing.
  7. Probably Cyber Warrant Officers.
  8. It makes law development and spending allocation incredibly easier to agree on. Suggest you read Paul Collier’s Bottom Billion and Wars, Guns, and Votes. He goes into detail on the how and why certain governmental models seemingly work some places and not others. Edit: suggest purely because they’re interesting reads.
  9. You are correct, you are on a different planet.
  10. Maybe they need to curtail their flight training program hours and add some VR study time.
  11. And CNN or Fox News are no longer reputable news sources. They're theater.
  12. You're not lost, that dude hasn't put together a coherent sentence yet.
  13. That article is an interview with Nunes, you know, a first-hand admission. CNN, Fox News, they're not reputable news sources anymore. They publish/broadcast fervent speculation most likely to encourage their own fanbases with no attempt to practice journalism. If you turn down your CNN volume, you might be able to tell. I don't care for DJT particularly, but unlike you I don't have the blue koolaid lens of being a Democratic fanboy after that party has gone off the deep end. Since you didn't read past the first sentence, it actually hits several layers deeper than anything you've been hearing from Ted Turner's echo chamber: His assertion that the flip makes no sense goes right in line with the work from Frontline that Putin was just out to stick it to Hillary. https://player.pbs.org/viralplayer/3006005244 https://player.pbs.org/viralplayer/3006249956
  14. It would be nice to get some idea of how the program operates, e.g. is the VR solely for student chair flying and self-sim, or is there legit IP feedback with it during an official syllabus event?
  15. How have your news sources verified these “facts” you speak of?
  16. Sorry, too busy taking these reactions to Helsinki seriously to discuss. I think he isn’t very sophisticated, says things without thinking strategically, and is a megalomaniac...but the talking heads and their social media followings are worse.
  17. MiG-29K and SU-33, both super shitty versions of the land versions. So wieght limited by the ramp launch, they’re nearly useless.
  18. Listen, man, sometimes Army cooks have it tough.
  19. But seriously...I feel like you’ve been hanging out at the Deid cold grab n go.
  20. If you had heard him talk, you might have made the same mistake. He’s got like 6-9 adopted nieces and nephews amongst his “Strikers” that he will talk about any time he meets someone.
  21. We probably need a KC-46 first.
  22. Ready Aircrew Program. CAF baseline bean requirements to stay CMR. Administered via the RTM, an addendum to the vol 1.
  23. Devil’s advocate: to get more training hours/events/funding, there has to be a demand. The vol 1 and RTM provide that.
