Clark Griswold Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 On 5/18/2024 at 6:18 PM, HeyEng said: Good discussion but depressing news. Thinking about it a bit maybe the future of the ARC fighter and potentially other communities is to be not exactly the same capabilities as the AD but relevant capabilities kept at a simmer economically to retain the surge / reserve capacity needed if the ballon goes up. That is we need x capability but are willing / have to accept risk by equipping ARC units with light multi role fighters / platforms that we can afford in the total cost of ownership and train / operate with. This capability would be a force (25 ARC fighter Wings) that fly a multi role platform(s) but specialize in mission sets (8 Wings A2A, 8 Wings Attack, etc…) Less capability but relevant with the benefit of accessible, scalable mass Kinda the ARC returning to a semi-strategic capability but not when they were flying aircraft 2 generations behind AD A mix of FA-50s, Gripens, maybe a modernized A-4, etc… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should give something for the Chiefs Group to do, out here deployed they are an essentially having an OPT on base uniform wear. A fellow CC said it best: “if this is what we are focusing on while Iran is lobbing drones overhead, then we must be getting everything else right. If not, shame on us.” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) Hey chief, this is an easy fix, change the AFI to allow awesome mustaches and we’ll stop having “problems.” Fucking chiefs, do I have to do everything for these retards! (No offense to the awesome chiefs that comprise 0.0069% of the ranks…and are probably all in the guard). Edited June 15 by brabus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeloDude Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 But shaving waivers are abundant, and that’s cool…and last I saw, some of these guys don’t just have a super thin beard (ie can’t take a razor directly to their skin) but rather a thick beard. They only get upset at the people they are now allowed yo get upset with in today’s culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
