Which company provides the best quality custom helmet bags and visor covers? The bag I have has great embroidery, but the bag's nylon and zipper won't last. Also, my visor cover needs replacing.

We’ve never held formal meet and greets. Candidates always visited during a UTA weekend and if they were in the military, we expected them to wear uniforms. Bottom line for us-if you visited and were in the military, then wear your uniform. And no doubt- correct blues for the interview. You will be judged and scrutinized.

I’d love to hear what these defensive capes are and how truly effective and useful they are. My bet is not much. Seems to me that mobility assets never have significantly more capes than turning to put the threat at their six and accelerating to whatever max Mach is. Honestly against any China/Russia scenario I don’t see how you can make a tanker any more survivable against PL-12/AA-12/SA-20+ without going and entirely redesigning it to make it a stealth asset. IMHO, you’d need a paradigm shift like the MQ-25 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_MQ-25_Stingray If we’re giving up the ability to carry over twice the gas for diminishing returns in defensive suites, I struggle to see the value.

I like to think that there’s a group of DARPA guys sitting in a bar somewhere laughing their asses off at all of this.

I have a humorous request... A few years back (I think it was March 2012), Stuck was part of the crew that flew a B-52 to the El Centro Airshow in Southern California. Coincidently, I was the airshow announcer, and we had a great time at the Club both nights. If any of you were on that crew or know the guys that were, could you have them contact me? Long shot, I know. Or... if you happen to currently be in Stuck's old Barksdale B-52 squadron, that might work too. Drop me a note and I'll explain.

Yeah, nothing more thrilling than the drive to work. I wake up every morning refreshed and excited to hit the road. Hell, sometimes I leave my wallet at work so I have an excuse to do an extra lap after dinner.

Why do you care? Who wants to live in a state who elects Ilhan Omar? Even a viper wouldn't give me enough incentive to move there.
