Perhaps the question is really like this, when the new tile pops up OR what @Lawman wrote... Secondary, legit question: how many would pick the burning tile if asked if that boat was destroyed? Like a crowdsource morality poll

Wasn't the AUMF suggested to be removed this year? Sen. Kaine sponsored for AUMF revocation in 2023.

Air Force is hiring for civilian T-6 IPs

Was it with his special issue sidearm? How juicy if yes and if it was impounded for weapons safety's inquiry!- ACE 2.0

ACE shouldn't be 'ACE' because it doesn't foster multi-capable-airman shenanigans or do-more-with-less realities (or as I say Aircrew A-Team concept because...reasons). !Instead! it'll should be a subset of the LPA (IYKYK..u should) in the form of an LLC. The Lieutenant's Logistics Corps...in otherwords the LPA LLC. LPA LLC Mission: do USAF, and if USSF or other branches are so inclinded to anty-up, air logistics and aircrew seasoning with GOGO, light, civil off the shelf aircraft in CONUS. If the USAF winged them...would not they trust them with non-contingency, CONUS mission(s)? As the crew are now qualified to fly now winged! If not, they're not ready for wings and stay in AETC UPT or whatever it's called by the staff these days. "Seeing-eye" silver backs and ole' crusties welcomed in-seat too.* *BLAB/Disclaimer: all 'good' deals offered to seniority, and favorite spots are destined as line-checks or LOSA obs naturally. Mission is the mission, brutally enforce adherence to mission, not much else...let em' learn and LPA in an LLC with a proper mission, not planning a military ball or other chaff.- UPS MD-11 Crash in SDF
