Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training

You know you’re going to have a great time when you have to hand prop! -
My guess is Israel will not follow the historical US path, which is leave/stop conducting kinetic ops in place X, allowing the vacuum of “peace” to fill right back in with whatever terrorist orgs were there previously. If they do follow suit, then give it a couple years and Hamas will be right back to a meaningful force strength. The peace deal is historic, but it’s naive to think any peace deal made with Islamic terrorists is going to last. My bet is Israel realizes that and will act accordingly.

Boeing brought in @HuggyU2 to test out the new cockpit entry system…

Which is a 100% guarantee not going to happen. I’m honestly surprised Israel didn’t go to 100% destruction/expulsion and take every square inch of Gaza land.

Amongst us non-politicians, it’s not partisan. Polls show the vast majority of Americans, independent of party affiliation, want all of it released. Now what some of the politicians do may be different. So it’s more accurate in this specific case to say political/elite class rot, not simply societal rot.

She’s a big disappointment. Not having federal experience may or may not be the primary CF, but regardless, Trump would be smart to fire her and put someone else in. I have no SA on what the bench looks like, I just know she’s been very underwhelming.

Dallas is better than Chicago by a solid amount (though still a large city with crime). But I think you are bringing up a valid point: there are other contributing factors to crime rate than the political leaning of the local gov. However, it’s still worth noting something like 2A rights and associated laws in cities is very much linked to who’s running the place.

@Day Man Memphis is a blue city with a Democrat mayor (and has the NG on the way). Try again.

For sure, I’ve been there with nit picking my own tapes and seeing others get nitpicked. Also have seen people get sent home. In zero of those cases did someone go to jail, have any lasting career effects, or not end up coming back (whether to rejoin same deployment or on a subsequent deployment). My point is do what’s right/what needs to be done, have zero thoughts about what “the man” may nitpick later. Failure to execute when called for because of CYA thoughts is unacceptable.

I have no problem with any bad city seeing intervention, regardless of local/state gov’s predominant party affiliation. That said, are there GOP led cities that should be prioritized over places like DC, Chicago, Portland, pick a city in CA, NYC, etc? I’m not implying there aren’t GOP-led cities with crime issues, but so far, has the priority been invalid?
-
This is a great example of why you just do what’s right. There were always rumors of JAG witch hunts, etc…and while I’ve dealt with some of those guys, to this day I’ve never met an aircrew member, SOF dude, etc. who did the right thing and ended up in jail. It’s all hyped up BS, minus maybe some total outlier that happened at some point.

No problem with it. US citizens in these cities have been abandoned by their city and in some cases, state, government. Their local govs have been heavily siding with/supporting criminals and their actions while willfully putting innocent citizen’s livelihood, and lives, at unacceptable risk. At some point (such as right now) the fed gov has a duty to step in to defend them. It’s incredibly sad portions of our country have come to this point, but the answer is not to just ignore it and say WGAF because you (the royal you) don’t live there.

My problem with Massie and Paul is they love to pontificate on libertarian utopia while completely ignoring the real world. Their minds live in a fantasy (like all “full” libertarians), and therefore they are roadblocks much of the time to REALISTIC results because they only will accept UNREALISTIC results. So, instead of accomplishing anything, they just run their mouths and generally get in the way. Ergo, hot air.

I’m not a big Mike Johnson fan, so maybe there is some truth to it. But also Massie is like MTG - blows lots of hot air, so I’ll take anything people like them say with a large grain of salt.
