I took a class on something about fundamentals of aviation where we learned about traffic patterns and used the sim taught by an AOC, but I don’t remember if I knew you could use them on your own.

🤔

Hahahahahaha yeah. With the B-52 still in the late 80s. The Apaches have outpaced almost the entire AF fleet by three decades in tech. The whole AF is hurting man.

BUFF similar.

It’s a good one, but my preference for the USAF effing their own photo still stands.

Definitely doesn’t, but MAJCOM/A3 is apparently more worried about career progression on paper.

True story, although when you can’t do a steep turn without stalling because decreasing UPT/FTU syllabus gives us dudes without the simple things like a crosscheck...maybe tactics are a bridge too far. Anecdote: our weapons shop are all brand new LTs aside from the patch(es). Keeps it interesting.

I went through the reserve recruiter at my current AD base.

Start the scroll ASAP. You should be able to do it by emailing the reserve recruiter; it can take ~4 months, and there’s no harm in having it done.

Hey @HuggyU2, how many times have we tried retiring the U-2? I wouldn’t base your dream sheet on whether the Air Force thinks it might retire the JSTARS this week. If you think you will enjoy the mission, go for it.

Stop asking them to ball walk into the 2 and kill it with jdam right next to the red airfield while they’re in the clouds and their radios don’t work and they can’t hear the spin. Every time.

What do you propose the response is to unconventional warfare such as hacking attempts on our voting system?

Get on the Link. Great work, though.

Checks.

How so? I haven’t interacted with an SPG property in a while; what’s their discriminator for not awarding points then?

I figured, but it was a segue for the quote.

Dysfunctional GTC that is always declined for the win.

Broad generalization on my part. Just saw an interview where Neller said, “the powers that be were almost like, ‘OK, ‘Neller. You’ve been out here wanking for 38 years. We’re going to make you own this.’” Which is awesome.

That’s an important point. The responsibility of the national government is to its citizens, not all of humanity. A purely open border ends up serving neither the citizens, nor even the global community, really.

Why should they not arrive properly through a port of entry and use the immigration process?

Well shooting GPS approaches is pretty much the main function of the AF.

I don’t think we should discount their engineering much. Sure, in recent history it’s been copy paste with possible small improvements, but they’ve been the leaders in supercomputing for a few years now, if memory serves me correctly. As an analogy: Nikon and Canon both started off as companies making cheap copies of german camera models. Within 30 years, they were the innovators and undisputed leaders in that area. On China is a great read: they’re playing a long game, for sure It doesn’t take a full war to shift the world order, either.

You enjoy changing the subject using your lack of awareness and not actually making an argument to the discussion at hand. When you do graduate high school, try the Marines.
