I usually put “I’m a Pilot” on repeat, turn up the volume a bit, and drop it in my bag pocket, just for good measure. /s I would also loathe being mistaken for playing Army.

Same on the mobile site, and on the iPhone App I can click to see a list of who upped it.

But voter suppression!

Great idea: have them take a ten year sabbatical and have to relearn all of those lessons again. The biggest shortcoming is CRM difficultly; in an airplane not built with any human factors considerations, for a complex situation at any one time one of my dudes is probably tumbleweed. I have to expend the time/comm to bring them back because due to the system limitations I can’t continue without them. It can work well, but it can also end up costing time the ground party doesn’t have. /Derail and can’t grammar

Sorry, should have been more specific: mine was commentary purely on distance learning vs on campus degree.

If your MS EM is from a respectable institution, it isn’t going to say “online” on the degree or transcript; they may note that you have done a non-thesis option if you choose that, but otherwise it’s an MS. They ought to look on it favorably, honestly, that you completed an MS distance program while working 69 hours a week. But I’m biased.

In the multiverse there are an infinite number of Termy in an infinite number of realities. It’s entirely possible one has a dimensional portal and traveled from one where the sequel is already released to post about it. Jeremiah is confronting this reality of not knowing which of the infinite Termy are posting. Side note: maybe gearpig had an infinite Ricks problem. What do the gearpigs know?

Jan 17 guidance on that in blue.

Former commander had one made for a first Friday after we took part in a significant operation. I assume it was cool for them to see the sanitized versions of what we were doing.

Alternatively, if you enjoy being frustrated an excruciating amount by bureaucracy, and past-peak on the curve of diminishing returns for group dynamics, AFGSC may be for you!

I’ve been waiting for this.

The Air Force may have some applicably similar data on that from sticking pilots at Cannon and Holloman.

The sanctuary city idea is actually fairly interesting. Surprising it’s still a thing.

No, that’s a symptom of the retention problem. Our number of aviators produced would be sufficient if we were retaining an adequate amount of experience, but we’re not. So, instead it looks like the really ridiculous capacity of our UPT system is too slow and inadequate. Edit: It's pretty much like one of those rate problems from math class. You've got the stabilized system where the flow in from UPT is balanced by the retention of aviators and normal separation. The flow in is incredibly adequate, but also incredibly difficult to increase due to roughly fixed amount of airframes/mx and the complex interaction of pulling instructors out of their MWS which then opens up a different out flow (not depicted for simplicity). Then the AF is blind sided by the culture festering as discussed in multiple places here, which causes separations to increase greatly; this is happening at a rate that any sane organization would not try fixing by production when production is very time/resource consuming and it ought to be able to more reasonably constrain the out flow back to the stabilized rate.

Trick question: the fuel from the fuel truck was too warm, F-35 doesn’t get airborne, Eurofighter bombs F-35. Sorry for the derail. I digress.

I meant: if only 18% of dudes are going to fly fighters, then why would you advocate for any single track two seat maneuverable trainer? If you’re going for cost-effective training, it’s illogical to argue for the Scorpion when the vast majority of dudes in the advanced phase are never going above 60 degrees of bank.

Your lobbying for the scorpion makes even less sense when you’re backing it up with that data.

Solid. It’s the same problem with the URT syllabus, for instance; some airmanship skills only mature with flight time, and the Air Force is negligently not providing it. It’s almost like we had a pretty good idea what made a safe aviator to send to follow-on training, and then totally ignored it.

Pretty severe G forces associated with FNGs trying to not-crash the BUFF. EW passes out every time.

Ostensibly those chodes have used a computer...maybe they should have hit the page down button. Go crazy, see what happens. FFS. Anyways, classic SPO requirements work with the ADS-B out stovepipe.

That’s the quintessential SIIC picture, if I’ve seen one. Him him.

Shack on this one magnetfreezer. Different airframe, but the way Boeing has hamfisted our upgrade strung out over 10 years and $1B to get our jet to the mid-1990s, no fing way I want approach plates and checklists tied down to the system.

Just don’t forget the QoL and lethality/capability bits that go with the $600m.
