6-9 basketballs nonetheless... I would say on average it takes me about one basketball to shoot around. And only one basketball to play a pickup game. F/W/A on a small scale.
SAASS paper from LtCol Bryan Callahan that details a serious intelligence/operations divide at the AOC level, and a proposed way out in the current conflict that walks us to an AOC that will also function more effectively in future operations. Posted on SIPR Baseops.
matmacwc said the fighter community has no desire for people who had an assignment for 3-4 years and then go to B course subsequently showing up in a fighter sq with no experience, applying it to the logic not to send dudes who went from upt to uavs to fighters. I'm pointing out FAIPs are in the same bo-at. Mid-term captains as brand new wingmen with no experience.
Edit: not trying to start the debate TarHeel is; not the correct thread. My point is simply if the AF isnt sending upt direct uav because fighters don't need/want inexperienced wingmen mid-captains, then that's kind of dumb when it's supplying them with FAIPs still. But this thread isn't about that either. Trying to avoid derailment; uav follow ons and pred operator bashing thread already exists.
So there are outsiders who think that this dude allegedly groping some lady at a bar outside of work has nothing to with fitness magazines or whatever Hagel wants removed. Nice. Has he thought about congress?
US discussing giving Russia missile defense data
Seems like it should have been a quick discussion:
"Is it a good idea to reveal our capabilities?"
"No."
"Next topic..."
Similar on CNN. Just the standard U.S. officials who can't comment on the topic commenting, they're saying attack happened without flying into Syria. Nothing on BBC.
