Why the fuck is STRATCOM tweeting at all?

If you ignore it it’ll eventually go away.

You’ve got a better chance of seeing Jesus blow Buddha than anyone in the CAF flying a USAF Light Attack in the foreseeable future. Barring some major shift in either USAF mentality or leadership the AF is going to continue to drag it’s feet on this until it eventually goes away.

Is PYOB back? The general profile seemed the same. Weird, disjointed posts followed by childlike tantrums and personal threats when proven wrong by others.

Out of last AF Corona, CSAF says it’s the right move but “nows not the right time”. No future timeline for integration given that I’m aware of.

Would a career MC-130 guy be competitive in the application process or are they really looking for previous fast jet/attack experience?

I'm guessing the unofficial 10% truth story involves a case of vodka, a pot of honey, a bear, and the Russian equivalent of "hold my beer and watch this".........

Yeah we can’t allow a “flying boat gap” to develop. Probably need to prioritize this right after F-35, KC-46, B-21, new ICBM, Light Attack, 6th gen Air Dominance, hypersonics, nuclear cruise missile, fixing hurricane damaged F-22s, stopping the invasion of Central Americans, Space Force, maintaining the Afghan live fire training range........

Don’t fall for that penis enlargement ointment trick, it’s another Deep State false flag plot. Just lookup Anaconda Malt Liquor if you need proof.

Was awesome to see my brothers and sisters from AFSOC giving a rapid full court press to help Tyndall out.

It’s been said before but we just didn’t build enough -22s. 3 damaged from that article, plus the gear up incident at Fallon earlier this year. That’s a 4 ship out of commission, probably for years. I’m sure there’s others I’m not thinking about/aware of.

https://www.stripes.com/1.551628 hope they were able to fly most of them out, crazy that a single hurricane could possibly have an impact to national security.

I just planted a pear, curious to see how this turns out. If it somehow Jack’s magic beans turns into a functioning copilot I’m gonna write the CSAF with a solution to our pilot production problem.

There are no 1s or 0s, just circumstances....

This is for the most part a true statement but it comes with a caveat. AFSOC & SOCOM leadership have been very clear that while SOF wants this capability they will not get ahead of Big Blue. SOCOM wants the AF to pay for the basic iron on the ramp and they will pay for the SOF peculiar equipment on the aircraft. SOCOM will not pay for the program in its entirety so if the AF doesn’t buy the iron AFSOC isn’t getting anything.

What’s the matter with you?

Dude there are weekly incidents of civilians running the ECP on military bases across the country (for a variety of reasons) and they don’t get shot, mainly because similarly to this guy they don’t show hostile intent thus the sky cops or MPs chase them down and arrest them. I honestly think that once this idiot got off the ground our processes worked. I really think the biggest risk during this whole shitshow was when he taxied onto the runway for takeoff. If a 777 sized aircraft would’ve been on takeoff or landing roll and he taxiied in front of them he could’ve killed hundreds of people before he even got airborne.

Manchester: What if they asked you sign an agreement stating you get 4 years of raging followed by a mandatory CoS tour at a certain jt command?......

Unofficial, but a buddy of mine is saying it was an A-29

I've been in AFSOC and the MC-130 community for my entire career; AFSOC is only place in the AF I want to be; all the aircraft AFSOC owns have some awesome capabilities/mission sets and as with any community each has some drawbacks. MC-130s have an awesome mission and a great community; as the MC-130J starts to get spiral mod updates to bring it to/exceed the MC-130H standard things will only get better; caveat, as with anything AFSOC, you're going to be very busy. If AFSOC/MC-130s are what you're interested in keep pushing for them, but since you're young don't close your eyes to other communities/opportunities as you go through training. PM me if you have any detailed questions.

Having worked directly for 2 SEALs and around several others in a joint job the last 18 months, none of this is surprising. I've been unimpressed with their leadership and accountability. It seems like a marked change from the Olson and McRaven era.
