WTF? (**NSFW**)

[gmwalk]

Wow! He must be the Navy's equivalent of Jill Metzger.

I don't know where else this could belong, besides the flight discipline thread (but I think I'll let that one RIP). I had never heard of this incident, probably the older (respectfully) pilots here are familiar with it.

Admiral nominee rose through ranks despite ‘illogical act’:

When Lt. j.g. Timothy W. Dorsey intentionally fired his fighter jet’s missile at an Air Force reconnaissance plane, nearly killing its two aviators and destroying the aircraft during a training exercise, it was hard to imagine then how his Navy career would wind up 25 years later.

WTF is right. How in the hell does this shit happen? (Rhetorical question. That's what happens when Daddy's in charge)

A kill's a kill.

[Smokin]

Or both since he refused to answer the question.

You have the right to not answer questions that could be self-incriminating, but I bet the state law allows for the cops to have detained him anyway if they thought he had been drinking. The supervisor likely realized he had not been drinking and was just looking for an altercation, so let him go. If he had slurred his words, I doubt they would have let him go like that.

A kill's a kill.

Now I know you're having beverage.....

Am I right or am I right?

I'm not sure most people would count a fratricide as a kill.

Fratricide? WTF are you talking about?

[pawnman]

Fratricide? WTF are you talking about?

The dude shot down a US fighter. Are you kidding me? What is fratricide, if not taking a shot (and succeeding) at your own side?

[Guest]

You really need me to tell you what fratricide is?

YGBFSM.

Oh, it doesn't count because the F-4 crew punched out before missile impact?

Did I miss something in the article where friendlies actually died?

I'm guessing a CBT wouldn't be so bad after all...

https://dailycaller.c...rcise-training/

Most men would never expect that enlisting in the military would one day find them wearing “empathy bellies” and learning more about the intricacies of pregnancy.

The course requires male non-commissioned officers (NCOs) to participate in sessions and classes to learn more about pregnancy and special exercises for pregnant women, including wearing a “pregnancy simulator.”

So many slippery slopes (no Lin humor here...) are spied from this type of "training."

"A base so secret the Air Force won't acknowledge it"...but once you are there, you can buy mugs, hats, and t-shirts with the name of the base plastered all over them.

[old crow]

I'm sure Rainman will back this one up:

"Never talk to the media."

It's OK, they're so facking "elite" that nobody could get within 100 yards of them anyway.

Same thing happened during OIF. We were told not to talk about it. To anyone. Don't tell your wife where you're going, your mistress, your kids, your mom, etc. otherwise super secret squirrel ninjas will drop from the ceiling and gnaw your balls off.

Once we got there they actually sold "Hello from country X" postcards in the BX, as well as all the other crap you mentioned. No sh!t. UFB.

[The Texan]

I just got done reading the top headlines from this 'secretive' Base X from it's webpage after Google gave me 544,000 options.

Let's not forget the near-porn in the BX you can buy after dumping your shit off at the amnesty box when you arrive. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, thrice, etc... well that didn't happen. The first time the Fashion Channel got me through some rough patches.

Best quote from another site about this:

"Wow! It appears as though all of the branches have gone full retard lately. I think it's time to pull chocks ASAFP! I have an idea, I think women should have to don a strap-on to their waists to "better understand" what it's like to run with a penis. Ridiculous!"
