  3. I agree, and the AFA seems to never even address any of these issues at all when a large percentage of their membership is directly impacted by this. I guess we don't pay the big bucks like the defense contractors to waste time lobbying.
  4. This might be a bit cheaper. https://www.venomaircraft.com/
  5. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40438207 A Minnesota woman has been charged over the fatal shooting of her boyfriend, in what authorities say was a social media stunt gone wrong. Monalisa Perez, 19, was booked into county jail after shooting at Pedro Ruiz as he held a book to his chest, believing it would stop the bullet. The couple's three-year-old child and nearly 30 onlookers watched as she fired the fatal bullet into his chest. Ruiz's aunt said they did it to increase their social media following. County Attorney James Brue described the book as a hardcover encyclopedia, and said the weapon used was a .50-calibre Desert Eagle handgun.
  6. Just know what the guard/reserve is if you plan on going active duty.

  8. NVDA is getting destroyed today after this https://citronresearch.com/nvidia-trade-back-130/
  9. Are they dumping fuel out of the boom out of that A model?
  10. Someone posted it to the pilot network on facebook if you are on there.
  11. Not sure where to post this, but this is a classic thread. Feel free to move this post. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-40155829? BBC: Four countries cut links with Qatar over 'terrorism' support Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of destabilising the region. The countries say Qatar is supporting terrorist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood. The Saudi state news agency SPA said Riyadh had closed its borders, severing land, sea and air contact. It cited officials as saying it was to "protect its national security from the dangers of terrorism and extremism". Egypt has also closed its airspace and ports for all Qatari transportation, the foreign ministry said. The United Arab Emirates has given Qatari diplomats 48 hours to leave the country. Abu Dhabi accuses Doha of "supporting, funding and embracing terrorism, extremism and sectarian organisations," state news agency WAM said. Bahrain's state news agency said the country was cutting ties with Qatar over "shaking the security and stability of Bahrain and meddling in its affairs". The Saudi-led Arab coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels also expelled Qatar from its alliance because of Doha's "practices that strengthen terrorism" and its support to groups "including Al-Qaeda and Daesh [also known as the so-called Islamic State], as well as dealing with the rebel militias", according to SPA.
  12. Just let the CIA put an authoritarian leader in charge, they don't need a damn "democracy" this political bullshit has cost to many lives and driven up or national debt for no reason. This is the only way to have stability.
  13. Travel ban.
  14. #fakenews
  15. Damn.
  16. Deid deployments.
  17. I don't think i've ever seen anyone send in the blue passport for processing an official use brown passport. But that being said, check the foreign clearance guide for country specific requirements (you need to be on NIPR).
  18. I just finished reading his book (Tex Johnston) and I really enjoyed it. If you enjoyed Bob Hoover's book then go pick it up.
  19. Nope, I think it is only 15% off that service. The Amex Platinum seems to have better benefits overall, but for spending the gold card is better at 2% statement credit and obviously the 1000 back after spending 3k in the first 3 months. https://www.myluxurycard.com/servicing/img/base/guideBenefits/BAR-5548-5_Gold%20Card_MC_WE.pdf?domainCPC=LXB
  20. Yup, it should be indefinite until you are no longer active duty. I think it also applies to cash advances. Some good info on this guys blog; https://www.derpreport.com/?p=641
  21. Newegg offering premiere free for military for one year, might help out some of you overseas. https://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/16-1748/index.html Also, just wanted to add another comment about Barclay, just got their Gold Card which they waive the 1000 a year fee and 0% apr with the SCRA. Plus you get 1000 statement credit back after spending 3k in 3 months. Not a bad deal. https://www.luxurycard.com/goldcard
  22. No more logic from you
  23. uhh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_KC-10_Extender#Specifications_.28KC-10A.29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_KC-46_Pegasus#Specifications
