  1. I think it’s obviously a movie about how amazing Texas is at having to rescue California. Obviously the state with an unending amount of firearms is going to have to lend some support to the West Coast as they’ve been slowly bled of their constitutional right to bear arms and were in the early stages of being overrun until Texas supplied them with an influx of arms via Mexico (the border is way, way open in this film). Really, now that I think about it, this is a movie about the second forming of an independent Texas nation, and they view California as an easy land grab for the natural resources. It makes way too much sense. /s
  2. I think that the real issue is that kids today just don’t have any idea who Doug Masters was or what he did for his family and country. Obviously we need a refreshed Iron Eagle movie to appeal to these youngins. Make Samuel L Jackson the new Chappie.
  3. The first dude that was indispensable in our unit, showed up on his first Drill after being “retired” for about 4-5 (I.e. 6-9) months, and was handed a C-bag with all his Chem gear in it for an exercise we were having. He looked at the OG and said, I’m not doing this. Quit that weekend to never come back and has forever lived in infamy.
  4. Didn’t the Navy EP-3, back in 2001 technically have the first Air to Air kill against China? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident
  5. “Mr. President, we must not allow a balloon gap!”

    ACSC OLMP?

    Ah, takes me back to Distance Learning ACSC, Afghanistan ‘18. I decided that after hacking the mish, turning bad guy bodies into pink mist, then coming back and having to discuss “use of force” or “diplomatic resolutions” with a bunch of noners and civilians was pissing me off to no end, literally wanting to make me go out and kill someone. Trump was happy to oblige with the ROE and ISIS. I didn’t sign up for another course until rotating back home.
  7. Ours are all Title 32 with a Title 10 overlay if the horn goes off.
  8. We have some ACA AGR’s but most of the guys that contribute are on ADOS. None of the ACA type orders (AGR or ADOS) have been USERRA exempt for us. However, some dudes have submitted their ADOS orders through Reduced Retirement and have had luck getting them approved. I really think that simply comes down to who is reviewing your order sets on any given day. But like SocialID said, what’s a brother gotta do to get some USERRA exempt ONE orders?
  9. I honestly don’t see what the problem is. I mean, the three dudes grilled on Capital Hill about the Afghanistan pull-out/debacle/abortion have a very impressive graduate education resume, and I think they showcased that higher level critical thinking during the withdrawal operation. It’s common knowledge more degrees make a better leader. /s SECDEF He holds a Master of Arts degree in counselor education from Auburn University, and a Master of Business Management from Webster University. https://www.defense.gov/About/Biographies/Biography/Article/2522687/lloyd-j-austin-iii/ Chairman of the JCS In addition to his bachelor’s degree in political science from Princeton University, General Milley has a master’s degree in international relations from Columbia University and one from the U.S. Naval War College in national security and strategic studies. He is also a graduate of the MIT Seminar XXI National Security Studies Program. https://www.defense.gov/About/Biographies/Biography/Article/614392/general-mark-a-milley/ CENTCOM Commander at the time Gen McKenzie is an honors graduate of the Armor Officer Advanced Course, Marine Corps Command and Staff College, and the School of Advanced Warfighting. He was selected as a CMC Fellow in 1999, and served as a Senior Military Fellow within the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University. He has a Masters in Teaching with a concentration in History. https://www.centcom.mil/ABOUT-US/LEADERSHIP/Bio-Article-View/Article/1798987/commander-general-kenneth-f-mckenzie-jr/

    I think you can go back into your App Store -> Account -> Purchased -> My Purchases -> Not on This iPhone. No guarantees but possibilities.
  11. I agree it’s f****d that people are able to push the agenda of allowing kids to choose what sex they want to be and then allowing them to seek those changes without parental consent. But the data on the MiG is incorrect. The Fox News article you quoted actually referenced an article I saw a few weeks ago (One headline from Dec. 11 portrayed the JROTC as ensnaring teenagers, "Thousands of Teens Are Being Pushed Into Military’s Junior R.O.T.C." ). In multiple low income areas across the US, school administration officials are in fact forcing kids into JROTC programs without either the kids’ or parents consent. (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/11/us/jrotc-schools-mandatory-automatic-enrollment.html) Not advocating for the abolishment of JROTC, and half of the crap in the article I think, is overt sensationalizing. Just giving more context.
  12. Quick sidebar: I wanted to point out that PA or the esteemed editors over at Airforcetimes.com have once again absolutely nailed their reporting.
  13. Got a security warning from the iPhone logging on tonight. The standard, “this website is not secure.”
