I know this won't make sense to you, because fundamentally the progressive sees only problems in the present and solutions in the future, whereas the conservative sees success in the present and problems in the future. Both are necessary, but they see the world differently. Kamala, Obama, Bernie, AOC, whoever. Now that the DNC is being steered by the progressives (and not the Clinton style liberals), there's no question for a conservative. Progressives are proudly and loudly vilifying the institutions and norms and conservatives believe made our society possible and prosperous. They defend real threats today (illegal immigration, the failures of socialism, the death of meritocracy) in the name of invisible threats (trans genocide, islamophobia, unconscious bias). The things we believe make America what it is (individualism, limited government, free speech, law and order) are the stated enemies of the progressives. Sure there are definitely threats from the right. Anyone now associated with Tucker Carlson is most likely a populist threat. But they aren't in charge, and I'm fact, they increasingly hate Trump. But I'll take the insane liar (Trump) who at least claims to support the things I support (and acts on them frequently) over the "sane" liars (Kamala) who have opposed my ideals for their entire career. You want it to be a hard choice. Hell, I want it to be a harder choice. But it's not. I like most of Trump's policy. I detest almost everything the progressives stand for. So if you want me to say Trump is a lunatic, yep, agreed. But if you want me to say Kamala would have been better for the country... Nope. Canada tried that with Trudeau and it was a disaster. No thanks. I know. You disagree. But you keep reinforcing our point when you think you're disproving it.

The Iran “plan” is stupid. I’d keep targeting and killing all of their top leaders (high value military and igrc targets as well) until they’ve laid down with hands out in surrender. Pausing while they pretend to negotiate is as stupid as it gets.

Please check out the small sampling (posted below) of Trump’s posts from yesterday. Just yesterday. Take a look and ask yourself: is this person of sound mind? If I had a senior leader, say my WG/CC, whose daily social media footprint looked anything like this, …..what would I think? How would I react? What assumptions would I make about his character, his focus & priorities, and his fitness to lead (especially in a time of war)? Harris was no doubt a deeply flawed candidate to say the least. But to still pretend that Trump is the lesser evil is really an astonishing level of delusion and tribalism. As anyone honestly watching can tell, Trump’s give-a-shit meter is rapidly approaching zero. And who can blame him? He’s had to masquerade for over 10 years. Can you imagine how exhausting that must be? 10 years of pretending to know what you’re doing while you’re completely overwhelmed and out of your league? 10 years of trying to act smart or knowledgable while you’re actually a total ignoramus? After a lifetime of amassing personal wealth, running through wives and porn stars, seeking fame and attention on TV, to suddenly turn around and pretend to be selfless? Pretending to give a $hit about other people when you’re hard-wired to only care about yourself. Pretending to care about lying….to fake caring that in normal society, you can’t just obviously lie and have everyone go along with it? The facade, thin though it always was, is vanishing rapidly. The social media posts, aided by AI, far crazier than ever. The interview and press answers, more rambling, nonsensical, and demented than ever. The lying, now completely off-the-charts blatant and obvious, even to a laughable degree. The corruption and profiting from the office more overt and at a larger scale than ever before. Behind the facade is just the same old, stupid, bloated egomaniac that was always there. We’re now getting to the chapter where he doesn’t even have to try to fake it or hide his true self. “Holy $hit, how much crazier will he get?” honest people ask themselves. What will it be like when his give-a-shit meter is inevitably pegged at zero? This is a complete and total national embarrassment. Full stop. Every day. ….But anyway, yeah, thank god Harris isn’t in there. Phew. We really dodged a bullet.

Yeah, my CSS and leadership team are tracking my desire to apply, but beyond that, nothing from the group or the wing. I find it interesting that this is happening to all of us, I wonder if there is some sort of delay of info flowing from the top? My package is about 95% complete, just finishing up a few items. The IFC was the biggest item, and I am glad that is good to go.

To echo what Clearedhot and Bookiebird said, it's not an easy process and in my experience most of the people (outside the historian) you'll deal with will be neutral at best on whether you ever actually get the bird into the Airpark. First thing they'll probably ask is who's paying for it? The site prep, any plaques or monuments that will go with it, actually moving the airplane into the site etc. Second thing they'll ask is who's going to maintain it once it's in the Airpark. Your Airpark should already have some sort of MoA or MoU describing who's responsible for upkeep, the Historian should have it or be able to point you in the right direction (also very possible that the agencies appointed for upkeep aren't adhering to the agreement). DAFI 84-103 is the AF reg that governs/discusses Airparks, might be worth reviewing. Third thing they'll probably ask it some version of "why". This is a want to do, not a have to do, and it's going to require work from multiple agencies to make it happen. If you have higher level leadership buy-in (min O-6/base commander, ideally MAJCOM GO or higher) it will make this project and your life a lot easier. Good luck, I hope you're able to make it happen.

KWings06J.....Your unit/base Air Force Historian is the POC you should contact to get the process started. They should be able to guide you through the process.

Somewhat and it is expensive and a pain in the arse. When all the AC-130H's retired we tried to get a few places to take one including the museum at Warner Robins. All retired aircraft technically belong to the USAF museum and they are generally ok to work with but the cost is VERY high. We were very shocked when Warner Robins said no thanks. They had been our depot for years...also, ALL of our software was developed and maintained there. A rather large community of civilians, military and contractors petitioned them but they said no de to cost. Even putting the plane in an airpark requires cleaning, painting and commitment to maintain. Look no further than the AC-130H parked at the front gate at Cannon...they have NOT taken care of it. Good luck

Clearly I haven't been on the site in a bit. If you're still looking for info pm me. Been in rescue my whole career so happy to answer what I can.

Has anyone ever been involved in getting an aircraft put into an air park on base? Apparently there was one parked a few years ago with that intent and forgotten about. Looking to get the process moving again.

Pic applies to literally every Congressional hearing testimony giver the last 10 years.

Still nothing from my squadron/group. I think my squadron is slacking tho. DS literally said "yeah just send me the stuff over if you have it" -_-

They (the left, globalists, etc…) either don’t care, don’t think it’ll backfire or are so stupid they think they can play with fire and not get burned. I’ve followed it a bit today, of the 60k that crossed about 48k have returned to Morocco but it’s still a mess and very tense. Borders and enforcement allow for stability and control, with that you can make rational, moral policies consistent with the right combination of self determination and reasonable humanity towards foreigners. Choir preaching but needs to be said apparently as the leaders of Spain are determined to test that hot stove theory yet again.

Do all these pro illegals just ignore the fact that the vast majority of these migrants are military aged males? Just dont really see woman and children in these flash mob videos

Clark your post reminded me to post again… Mayorkas should be imprisoned immediately (for the rest of his life).

🙏🏻 that is great to hear!

Good news here, I just got notification it was approved on IMR, and I went to talk to flight med and they said I should get my signed docs back early next week. Wicked quick turnaround, hopefully the same for you!

This gives me anxiety lol, I hope mine won’t take that long to get stamped! Your stats look great, man! I think you have great odds of getting picked up.

UPDATE to my first post: Just got my stamped 2808 back after 2 months! Final package submitted up to SQ. 1st Lt Air Battle Manager applying for UFT for the first time: DG of UABMT 2 CENTCOM Deployments T13B3D (Evaluator upgrade as soon as I return from deployment) PCSM: 86 Pilot: 94 Civ Flight hours: 13 PT: 97 RPP Selection in 2025 Deputy CoS/CCV duties held 4/40 LTs (Should be #1 this year hopefully) Hopefully this is enough to squeeze me through! Thanks for the help everyone! Goodluck to all!

Long covid. STS.

He’ll never be held accountable…it’s too polarizing of an issue, and the left refuses to admit they were wrong on most of this nonsense. Same with illegal immigration. Same with saying boys can become girls. Same with pushing the narrative that somehow white males are the most dangerous demographic. It’s all about power and control.

Whatever occurs, I hope it is expedient. Fauci is 85 years old. He needs to be held to account for his actions before he succumbs to old age. Given the current glacial pace of things, I'm skeptical.

A pardon does not automatically force someone to testify, but it can reduce or eliminate their ability to refuse testimony based on self-incrimination for the offenses that were pardoned. Whether a particular witness can still invoke the Fifth depends on the scope of the pardon and the specific questions being asked. The complicating factors are that, like any presidential pardon, it covers only Federal crimes for conduct up to the date it was issued. In this case, that date is 20 Jan 2025 (Biden's last day in office). Fauci could still be prosecuted under state law rather than Federal law, Federal crimes outside the scope of the pardon, and future perjury or false-statement charges based on testimony given under oath. It will be up to the courts to decide whether he can invoke his Fifth Amendment rights or not. https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/silence-admission-could-fauci-be-prosecuted-bidens-pardon
