dream big

What? Zero comparison

There have already been programs to get sharp enlisted dudes through pilot training. It is called commissioning.

PTN is not real pilot training. Nothing stopping Ops Sq/CCs from keeping PTN wonders in MR training till they prove themselves to standards. Sucks for the graduates as many probably didn’t ask for this but this business shouldn’t GAF about feelings.

BPZ is like top 1-2%. I’m sure there are many 06ers in the 3-10% cut line that they are career monitoring.

I’m sure these guys truly believe in the cause and want to make a difference; it has nothing to do with toeing the line with the diversity & inclusion narrative of the brass at the top. Not at all. Curious to see how rapidly these talks dissipate when Trump’s memo makes its way down.

Thank god. About time when you have a sitting squadron commander forcing her squadron to read “White Fragility” and openly posting Atlantic articles bashing the sitting CINC.

The democrats were probably stroking each other in glee as they thought they hit gold with this hit piece. Perhaps another “grab her by the pxxxx” October surprise which Trump has apologized for many times (cmon gents.. you have said worse and don’t BS me into claiming you haven’t, right or wrong.) Unfortunately, this is just that, a hit piece devoid of any evidence, logic or fact. Much like the hit piece with Russia or Kavanaugh. It will fall flat...and add it to the reasons why I will laugh so hard when the mass tears flow from the leftists 3 November. You reap what you sow.

You speak a lot of truth. This is why Trump is so hated amongst the establishment, and so revered by many. He’s not a politician. He’s not a RINO. He’s not a puppet. I don’t care about his personality; his policies are exactly what America needs. I’d rather take a loud mouth New Yorker than an empty suit who can read a teleprompter. Heck, Biden can’t even do that.

You have nothing to lose. Give it all you got, just don’t be an ass about it. I know academy grads with a GPA less than yours that are squadron commanders now.

I was a minority in a UPT class, I had zero issues. I know many minorities in UPT classes, they all did just fine to include 5th gen fighters. What invented issue is the Air Force trying to solve now?

Going to stop you right their. Aerial Delivery, or rather “Air Drop,” cannot be taught to proficiency in a sim. Add in RF threats and other real world factors...forget it. Anyone who advocates for such is asking for numerous mishaps. AMC at large is not fucking airline training. It is no wonder most of the CAF scoffs at us.

Because we all trust big Air Force to be 100% objective and act with integrity and not undermine the standards for metrics or “diversity.” Nope, not at all.

$$$$$

Wouldn’t surprise me. Our priorities as a service and DOD is putting us on a clear tragedy our to lose the next major war. I wish I was saying that jokingly but I’m genuinely concerned about our time honored capabilities to fly, fight and win.

Federalism, 10th Amendment, these are all good problems to have! I don’t want Trump or anyone in the federal government have that much power. You guys give him and the position way too much credit. I’ll take decentralized federalism over the false security of centralized control found in other countries any day. This is bigger than Covid with a less than 0.1% mortality rate.

As they should be, that’s the worst idea ever. Who is going to train these T-1 wonders at the FTUs and ops squadrons? When Rona dies the mass exodus of IPs will continue.

You completely missed the point. Trump didn’t mishandle Covid. My point was that Covid is an international pandemic and blaming Trump for its’ effects is next level stupid. Further, besides Covid, the country has been doing extremely well during his tenure. So I fail to see why that should change besides your feelings.

Anyone remember sequestration in 2013? Flying hours cut, mishaps skyrocketed down range. I 100% blame Obama for that. Yeah..I’ll take Trump any day of the year.

Has your life worsened between 2016 and now? Apart from Covid, which is a global pandemic, how has Trump hurt your life? A lot of good changes between his election and now. Lower taxes, ISIS eliminated, strong economy. Not bad things at all. Biden? He won’t make it more than a few months past the election. Which means Kamala Harris as your POTUS. A radical California politician who stands against everything American. Higher taxes, open borders, gun grabber...you name it. Trump’s “dumpster fire” is much more palatable. Questions?

It used to be funny but now it’s not. Those same idiots running away bring their politics with them. Hence why there is a growing liberal enclave in Austin TX and Houston.

So the real question; they are obviously trying to increase throughout on the input side (UPT). What the hell are they doing to decrease output and increase retention of your 12 year Majors? People will eventually chill out about Covid (most likely after the election,) and all indicators show that the airlines will recover. Is the Air Force doing anything to address retention?

There will be more mishaps if they go this route. We will then get a fancy CSAF flight discipline video and the cycle will continue.

Tankers are your best bet if you don’t want to spend much time in the vault. Virtually every aircraft in the inventory requires time in the vault; that is if you want to operate the mission well.

“Previously vetted.” You sure about that? By whom? What’s to say the Trump campaign doesn’t have a surprise skeleton to reveal about her come October? Sure would be karma after the Kavanaugh debacle.
