Right now they have the advantage since CSOs/WSOs seem to be the bulk of the people that are staying in.

How War in Taiwan Ends: If Deterrence Fails, Could America Thwart China?

Hope I’m wrong but that looks bad

I know very little about him besides the recent uniform focus shenanigans. What are his negatives?

I'd have to look at the slides again but I'm pretty sure eventually when UPT goes to a single aircraft model (T-7) there's different syllabi after track select depending on which type you track ie Heavy guys wouldn't be flying events like 4 ship form. IIRC after track select Heavy students basically go direct to the FTU. Edit to add: if you have a .mil email PM me and I can send you the placemat slide explaining the current plan.

Anyone have any experience with owning or flying a Socota TB-20 or 21?

AF is currently progged to buy Bombardier bizjets to replace C-146 NSav.

Would like to give another shout out to Jon at Trident, just finished a refi with them and it was super easy/seamless, especially compared to the first one I did years ago that wasn’t with Trident. Would absolutely recommend for any mortgage needs.

Beyond FPVs: Learning the Lessons of the Ukraine War—All of Them - Modern War Institute Pretty good read.

Honest question; he was retired, how did he get strong armed into it?

The Soviets initially built the place; maybe he meant give it back to them. I’d be all for letting the Jawas mort some more Russkies.

What is the US Military Preparing For? Force Design and the Pathology of Lessons Learned - Modern War Institute Long but good read.

It's very difficult for me to imagine a world/scenario where going back to that filthy shithole and dumping more of our blood and treasure into the dirt there would be a good idea.

It was/is pretty embarrassing. Mine is chambered in .357. Was shooting it out at the range with a buddy of mine, he says “.38 is cheaper, I’ve got some, let’s put that through it.” First round doesn’t make it out of the barrel/just not enough oomph. I take it home and instead of just tapping the bullet out and calling it a day I decide I’m gonna field strip and clean after I’ve put a grand total of maybe 50 rounds through the thing. Random pieces just kept falling out the more I took it apart. YouTube videos weren’t overly helpful. After about the 300th “fuck” or “cocksucker” my wife told me to take a break. I’m probably gonna take it to a gunsmith, I just don’t think I have the patience.
