John seems to understand, why can't America? The Nirvana Fallacy

I found this interesting and would like to get my hands on a copy of it. Linky

This almost started out in the security forces thread... Earlier in the week at work we got an email saying the cops were going through the parking lot and ticketing anybody's car that was unlocked (plenty of folks drive beater used cars and don't bother to lock them). By the time most folks got out to their cars to lock them up, they already had tickets. I would have figured it was just standard skycop lack-of-anything-better-to-do-itis, but it turns out they were directed. Well we had a WG/CC change of command ceremony last week and it turns out the new WG/CC directed the cops to do this. So for pretty much his first public action, a bunch of folks get tickets.…

If this is half as good as "Band of Brothers", it should be kick ass. https://www.pacificfans.com/trailer.mov I always kind of hoped they would do an aviation type mini-series based on "The Wild Blue" or something like that, but shedding some light on the campaign in the pacific will be cool.

Im looking for the saying that fighter pilots use when someone says the word head. Goes something like this: head who said head. ill take some of that. She gave me head and then we f*cked...

https://Uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/fighter_pilot I thought this was funny...

The head boss man seems more than willing to throw billions of dollars at businesses that are failing and for social programs for people who aren't working. At the same time, the military needs a whole lot of new stuff. IMO, a simple solution to both issues would be to boost military spending. Instead of cutting the numbers of aircraft we are buying, why not drastically increase them? People who have worked in manufacturing their whole lives are finding it difficult to "retrain" into a new job, so why make them? Put them on an assembly line at Boeing for new tankers, put them to work building new C-17s, F-22s, 35s, and helicopters. Why keep throwing money at car com…

Came across this and thought it was pretty moving. If there is anyone that would agree it would be the members of Baseops. https://www.militarytimes.com/multimedia/video/hancock/ :flag_waving:

Anyone watching the Stanley Cup Finals? Good game tonight glad the referees put their whistles away.

Other than the guy screaming like a cowboy from Brokeback Mountain at times...this is pretty sweet. Anyone ever seen the live in cockpit footage they do at the USAFA graduations?

https://www.airforce.com/supercar/ Not that the Army is free from this kind of stupidity. I saw a H2 decked out with competition quality sound system that looked fresh out of a Pimp my military ride show. I just don't understand what kind of recruit this is going to get. I came in because of Fighters and gunships, toys that cause lots of destruction. Maybe they are going to use the cars as “bonus programs”. Enlist today and we give you everything and want nothing in return.

Topic Link I really can't believe I'm the 1st to post this... What's gone wrong with our leadership?

So I'm gonna be goin to the fuge in the not so distant future for t-38s at holloman. I've heard the -117 pilots used to be pretty cool as far as showin you around the jets and whatever else once you're done with the fuge. Is there anything like this still goin on out there now with the -22s? Just wonderin if there's anything really cool we can do while we're out there besides getting our faces mushed in, in the fuge and besides stayin at the camino....

Any suggestions? Edit: Wrong part of the forum.

Screwed this one up nicely... Piper Aztec Runway Overrun

I had stated in a previous topic that I am relocating to the DFW area. Most of you guys on here have been to quite a few places, so I was hoping for some drops on good places to check out to live (throw in some good boobie tassle locations as well if you dont mind) Im looking to stay as close as I can to the Carswell JRB as I am going to hangin around the 457th on a regular basis. DFW Good place to be? yes? no? I'd like to know what to expect besides horrible traffic and lots of (insert explicitive here) longhorn fans..... Thanks Gents Cheers -summers

Here's a story on Obama's Memorial Day remarks: Seems the press and the president have gotten Memorial Day confused with Veteran's Day. I thought Memorial Day was to honor those who DIED while serving the country, and Veteran's Day honored those who served. Apparently I was wrong? Seems this speech was designed to suck up to vet groups (and thus increase popularity among a group that particularly doesn't support him)...I guess honoring the dead guys doesn't matter because they don't vote... Was that a cheap shot?

So I was thinking to myself while riding the elevator, wouldn't it be sweet to have an F-16 roller coaster. Basically, the person gets in the cart which is a replica of an F-16 cockpit, they get in and buckle up and there is even a canopy that closes on them... Next, the ride consist of a mock F-16 ride (Of course, what else would it do?). The ride will consist of F-16 maneuvers, from dog fights to vertical climbs and even some upside down action. Could even take it to the next level and have another track unconnected to the riders track, with a fake bandit going around as if you were chasing it in a dog fight. The two carts will get so close that they look like…

The 437 AW here have found the perfect way to avoid birdstrikes... Since installing this on the FREDs, birds avoid contact at all costs! Cheers! M2

This is awesome, however if the Deid ever came under attack I'm sure an E-9 would pull this guy immediately out of the fight for being out of regs... https://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090522/lf_nm_...stan_gates_pink WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday praised an Army soldier in eastern Afghanistan who drew media attention this month after rushing to defend his post from attack while wearing pink boxer shorts and flip-flops. In fact, Gates said he wants to meet the soldier and shake his hand the next time he visits Afghanistan. "Any soldier who goes into battle against the Taliban in pink boxers and flip-flops has a special kind o…

So I guess some detainees are trying to sue citing they have been permanently traumatized by listening to Rage Against The Machine, NIN, etc. Video here: CNN. Wow...just wow.

OK Fella's this is 85% acurate statement ENJJPT 10-02 will be the last UPT Tweet class ever...effectively ending the tweets USAF career... please feel free to donate Ideas for a class patch.... If it is good enough I hope to make it avaiable to any old T-37 (At-37), SP/IP/EP and let you guys know what day the last one will fly... I hope to find out the total number of hours the weet has flown how many sorties, and how many SP's got qual'd in the airframe thanks Jrobe

Not a bad flick. I think the A-10 guys on here will like it. The opening scene shows a pack of 10's destroying a field full of satellites. Pretty epic footage. The story line and some of the action is cheesy, but over all it's a fun one time see cinema. Check it out if you get the chance. -yerfer
