Skitzo Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 U-28s rock. The lifestyle is rough but man it has been a ride. TAMI-21 messed me over as well but it has been a great experience overall. Put what you truly want and realize you may get it and then get it taken away from you.

fire4effect Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) One of my personal favorites. Edited December 13, 2017 by fire4effect commentary
fire4effect Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Another thing for the young ins just starting their military career. https://www.gao.gov/assets/160/156037.pdf Been a long time ago but a lot of very painful lessons learned all around that should never be forgotten.
MooseAg03 Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 One of my personal favorites. I had many memorable days in the Reaper that were more exciting than this, probably will never make live leak. 2 1

I'm sure. Too bad you can't make a highlight DVD of them. "Best of Hellfire" Make a great stocking stuffer. 1

You can bribe the intel nerds with beer to scrub the mts graphics grids to make a “training video” on dvd. Ops tested with good effects.
sqwatch Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 I’m not sure how a question as to what FIGHTER airplane to choose turned into an orgy of robot fluffing nerdery. Having been in both, the three years I spent caring for my droid via satellite link I wish I could ram dump from memory. I tried rationalizing the gross mismanagement of manpower that befell me into that community with consoling one liners like “I get to kill a lot of bad guys”. In the end I could not rationalize away the disdain I had for being put in that community.

I assume it was cool for them to see the sanitized versions of what we were doing.

There's another copy floating around on the internet somewhere with commentary that indicates that under ROE in effect at the time if they had loaded the mortar in the other vehicle the other Hellfire onboard would have been quickly on the way. As it was just dumping them in the canal meant they could just watch. Personally I wouldn't have had too much heartburn had they obliterated the crowd around the car (in what some of us call "service after the sale") as they were all complicit in my mind but those were the rules. Also based on when and where I think this occurred the sh!t birds that did get death dealt to them from above might have been ones who had fired at me and mine at an earlier time. Maybe anyway. But yes they were trying to cover up the crime and make it look like innocent civilians were killed. At that time the locals probably didn't fully comprehend just how well the camera can see what they were doing. 1
Sparkle Posted December 16, 2017 Author Posted December 16, 2017 Thanks for the input guys, it truly is helpful, I turned it in yesterday and I'm feeling pretty good about the order. I appreciate that there's dudes out there willing to offer some wisdom to us ignorant young folk. At this point I'm very excited to see what comes next and I'll be sure to throw it in the assignment thread when 26 Jan rolls around! 1

I think we did ours ~2 weeks out. Anyways, what was the final order?
Sparkle Posted December 16, 2017 Author Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) For the top 10 I've got F-35, F-22, F-15E, F-16, A-10, F-15C, EA-18G, T-38A, T-38 FAIP, T-6 FAIP, and then bombers, afsoc, amc. Edited January 27, 2018 by Sparkle Typo 1
Danger41 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 If you’re still hoping to “rain hate”, you’d better hope to get #3-5 on that list. Also, if the Raptor is your #2, why not put the T-38A up higher? Genuinely curious.

di1630 Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 If you’re still hoping to “rain hate”, you’d better hope to get #3-5 on that list.Not true. The F-22 5th gen capes were used a few weeks back to penetrate hostile Afghanistan airspace and drop GPS guided bombs on poppy processing facilities.Rumor has it the targets were highly defended by pitchforks and shovels. 1 1 7
