  1. Past hour
  2. Little bit of info trickling out Air & Space Forces MagazineUS Airpower Paved Way for Special Ops to Capture Venezuel...U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a high-stakes military operation on Jan. 3 supported by extensive U.S. airpower.Interesting that there were LE present in the force that captured Maduro.
  3. Yesterday
  4. That’s nuts. Indeed it is.
  5. O Face replied to O Face's topic in Squadron Bar
    That is wonderful news!!
  6. I found it interesting that the FBI CIRG was on hand to make the actual arrest (due to the types of charges for the perps - LOL).
  7. concept of a plan
  8. They just tried to elect a president. If the military doesn't try to assert control, they'll have a leader who is very Western-friendly. With what just happened, I doubt the Venezuelan generals are eager to take over the role of dictator at the moment. There should be no other puppeteers in our hemisphere.
  9. Better us than Russia / China. Like it or not, this action opens up the possibility of getting things straight in this part of the world and countering negative influence by multiple malign actors.
  10. Watched the press brief...doesn't look like it.
  11. Will he end up as "Born Again" Maduro?
  12. So we're running Venezuela now?
  13. I guess he will be a guest of my neighboring town of Florence ATX.
  14. I figured he had a Hellfire in his future. Now my guess is he'll sing for his supper just to avoid Supermax.

  16. Yup - Clark is happily negative one point on this one Woke up, checked my phone and holy shit, this was unexpected
  17. That escalated quickly. Hope people thought through the transition better than we have the last couple times. Good work by the 160th.
  18. All is well, thank you so much! 2 year old granddaughter had open heart surgery on a Thursday morning. She was skipping out of the hospital by noon Sunday. Modern medicine is a miracle!
  19. Looks like Operation Just Cause 2.0 has officially kicked off.
  20. I remember seeing that when I was in OGV. The best part was the CVR recording the idiots in the cockpit making fun of the kid at the firebottle for not having being able to see due to no one having a flashlight.
  21. Except the AIB points out the dude in the cockpit couldn't have seen the guy by the CRL on the right side of the jet. However, they could've activated the CRL via their laptop, which was under the jet on the ground, on the wrong TO checklist (APU start) to the maintenance they were doing. Since their laptop could actuate the CRL, there was literally no reason why the guy was in the cockpit doing it via the MFD.
  22. Hard to prosecute a case if all the required documentation that was meticulously maintained was mysteriously stolen.

  24. I guess you're just of superior character when compared to myself. Good luck!
  25. Way back in the day at a PACAF base, we were getting ORE'd to death after coming back from having kicked off OIF. 4 months straight of surge for a week, fix over the weekend, then right into a week long phase 1/2. Rinse and repeat. ORI rolls around and MX/OPS leadership was on our ass for writeups received during generation phase so everyone went out and during ORI generation did our job to the letter of the TO. 2 jets generated. I think there were 5 horizontal stab changes and 2 vert changes just in our squadron. WG CC called all the crew chiefs in to talk. We got to vent for a bit and he actually made some shit happen. We got to by name request a few more 7 levels and they diverted a bunch of 3/5 levels. They preach by the book but don't want it by the book. Doesn't take too much of a leap to get into fatal consequence level when you veer too far from the book though. Alot of common sense shit that doesn't get done but you get by without reaping the effects. It'll get you eventually.
  26. Last week
  27. I did pull for UF years ago....M2 and several really good friends went there, plus I pull for Florida schools over scrubs like Bama, Auburn and Neutered Lame.
