  1. ADMIN NOTE: Great idea! Welcome to the F1 thread!

  2. More likely "material failure" related to the engine getting thrown around post-crash after it separated from the wing. If you watch the entire video (and with the understanding of the limited info the NTSB video provides) there are some clues to this, especially that the tips of the blades are not curled, as would be evident if the engine were turning at impact. Props rotating and producing power at impact are usually curled forward, while props rotating and not producing power at impact are usually curled aft.

  3. It's a shame Germany won't be on the calendar next year, but Sochi and other parade races are going strong. Sent from my SM-N975U using Baseops Network mobile app

  4. We need to evaluate all our overseas engagements against the Powell Doctrine. If we can't answer in the affirmative to each and every question, then we need to go home. Spoiler alert: In the vast majority of cases, we need to go home.

  6. ...I’ll bet you $50 that Zandvoort is on the calendar within a year. This is going to blow. A race in Florida suburbs next to a Walmart and CVS. South Beach or nothing!

  8. Heard the same. It was on the MAF FB page a while back that assignments to AFPAK hands were being pulled and notified members rolled to next VML.

  10. Say, why were we in the Middle East to start with? Oh, yeah... And now, our reason for being there trying to stop thousands of years of tribal warfare/slaughtering of each other is...?

  11. NTSB Preliminary report is out: https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20191002X11326&AKey=1&RType=HTML&IType=MA&fbclid=IwAR2n3Fk-HkfU6T_b7gWwoQEH68r_ggWP1yAaOme9EJXVyG8jZHQU0V9Glek Generates conclusions no one wants to admit to thinking. Ugly.

  12. Combine the questionable governments with boring Tilke tracks (Sochi and China some of the worst offenders...in both categories).

  13. Nope, that distinction would go to MotoGP umbrella girls (or brollies, as the Brits call them)! Plus, F1 has banned them from the grid...

  14. AFPAK Hands absolutely was cheap talk. It was another in an endless line of pulling on your "service before self" chain to get you to invest yourself in something that top level leadership wasn't willing to materially back. The "incentives", what little they were, turned out to be hollow, and they were clearly not substantial to begin with.

  15. Exactly. You've paid more than your fair share of the bill and I've paid mine, as well as most of the people on this forum. When I read "we" should be staying continuously engaged in Syria, it seems "you" is implied. Some people are tired of being threatened with the worst possible outcome being realized if we suddenly end our 18+ year subscription to the Middle East Clusterf^&* Vacation Club. There's war when we're present, there will be war when we're absent. If Russia and Turkey want to wear that anchor around their neck for a change, good.

  16. I somehow find this assumption wrong on all levels having been thru meps 3 times. Especially since I have been DQ’ed twice at MEPS for things I’ve never had. While I have no experience with DoDmerb from what I hear from ROTC friends I would recommend 100000 times over going that route. Not even close to be honest. MEPS will DQ anyone so fast, they dont wanna deal with extra shit ever. I almost think they DQ people on purpose to see if they have the drive to fight it lol Edit: i was DQ’ed while going enlisted and DQ’ed during commissioning exam. It is not fun.
