  1. Wow is right. What makes me say wow is that no one thinks it's a foul to go running to the press, in uniform, to voice your concerns. What's that thing that Rainman always says?
  2. Did you know that drones can be "flown" from anywhere and that you can put a small detachment of people in the shitty places where they take off and land and have the majority of people "fly" them from somewhere else that's not shitty? No? Neither does anyone else above the rank of O-5.
  3. There were two suicides at my base within 3 days of the last two resiliency days.
  4. This actually was happening for quite some time. One pilot monitoring three airplanes would give the sensor operators a 3D play pen to do as they saw fit with the airplane. The pilot could take control of any airplane at any time if needed. But, cue the risk averse middle-management at the Wing and OG levels of the USAF and now we have full up fighter pilots sitting in a shipping container and punching themselves in the sack for 6-9 hours a day watching Haji poop in his yard or doing the same IED scan until the end of time.
  5. Shack. Well put. There is a difference between "need" and "want". We could put enough ISR assets in the air to cover every square inch of the planet 24/7 and the Army would say, "Great, can we get 2 assets for every square inch, just in case?" and no one in the USAF would say "no" or "unable" or "maybe that isn't a good idea" because that gets you fired.
  6. It is beyond ridiculous and as far as I know, the cud-chewer that wrote this article is the only person that feels that way.
  7. You can use TA or the GI bill at the aero club here, I don't know about anywhere in town. I haven't heard anything official on what studs are dropping or why.
  8. WTFO? I've been out of the game for four years, but is this shit happening everywhere? Why would any self-respecting fighter pilot do that or tell someone else they should?
  9. Rooting for preds is unsat.
  10. The fact the the guys that competed against their peers and earned their drones are getting out sooner than anyone else is what I expect from the air force.
  11. White jets? How'd you do it!?!?!?!?
  12. This is one of those opportunities you're supposed to never pass up.
  13. So you got that goin for ya....which is nice.
  14. I'm still a fighter pilot and will be 'til the day I die.
  15. Good point. At least I'm not a nav though.
  16. What does the nav do on any airplane?
  17. 6/13. One was second look. Of the PRFs that were written here, 3/8 made it, one was the squadron patch. As for the wing being fckd up, 100% of the people who fly (not "fly") were promoted.
  18. Douche of the year. Who actually read online SOS shit that was not gouge?
  19. Flying single-seat fighters was eleventy billion times better than I ever would have imagined. Drones? I would rather run my sack across a cheese grater.
