  1. Past hour
  2. This is starting to get suspicious, apparently one of his colleagues went missing last year and was never found. She was instrumental in developing a new metal material to replace a proprietary metal found in Russian rocket motors used in commercial rockets.
  3. Today
  4. “Joe Kent is a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely (never?) producing any actual work,” Taylor Budowich, Trump’s former deputy White House chief of staff and a political consultant, said in an X post. “This isn’t some principled resignation — he just wanted to make a splash before getting canned. What a loser,” Budowich said. Here's one of the times where he leaked National Security Secrets on a podcast: And here's another clip where his Trump Derangement Syndrome is extremely apparent: He could've just said "I quit because I hate Jews and I'm a Nazi" and dispensed with all of the below gobbledygook.
  5. Yeah, but what is your point?
  6. Reading through the syllabus it looks similar to the 2.5 T-6 syllabus, but done all in the T-1. Academics/sim phase to start, then transition rides, nav rides, and mission rides. Overall seems to be fewer rides than we had in the T-6, but they also don't have a dedicated formation training block like the T-6 has.
  7. Yesterday
  8. CNBCU.S. counterterrorism director Joe Kent resigns over war:..."Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation," Kent wrote in his letter to President Donald Trump.damn, that TDS is going around...SAD.
  9. What is/was the syllabus for XPW UPT? About the same as traditional UPT syllabus?
  10. https://v.redd.it/d30sxsl18hpg1 Trump, "They weren't supposed to go after all these countries in the middle east. Those missiles were set to go after them. So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked."
  11. Also, this was amusing - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/us/politics/farm-labor-trump-migrant-workers-h2a.html
  12. Can I be outraged at the hat, or is there someone else I should blame?
  13. A buddy of mine at Vance said they were shifting toward sending all UPT students to SERE before IPT (like ETCA says). When I asked the 71 STUS about this they said it's case by case dependent on availability/timing at SERE. If a student gets there well before their IPT class starts and there's availability at SERE, they'll go asap. If not they'd go after finishing UPT. All comes down to timing.
  14. Anyone know when we can expect to go to SERE? The IPT course information from ETCA states that SERE is a prerequisite. That said, the same document says that it’s still actively being written due to the newness of IPT.
  15. Last week
  16. Don’t train your enemies BreitbartSen. Jim Banks Warns About Chinese Pilots Getting U.S. Tr...Sen. Banks is sounding the alarm about Chinese training in the U.S. to become pilots, a fact first revealed in Peter Schweizer's book "The Invisible Coup."
  17. There’s a reason why the KC-46 has a defensive system. The KC-135 nor KC-10 do not.
  18. Grew up in the Marine KC community smokin a lucky. Old heads would tell of the risk aversion, how we were "high value assets", Corps was lucky to have Herks a' la Key West Agreement and all that. Fast forward to OIF week one: community had already lost one crew the prior year, I had a front row seat to a notable blue on blue, and now crews were coming back with SAFREPs of having to maneuver due to active tracking by AAA on the way into the LZ. Kinda rearranges your worldview right quick. Stay frosty folks.
  19. Frog Slayer changed their profile photo
  20. Because they offered a fixed wing slot to my buddy that got rotary, they are back filling the slot with people who put rotary #1
  21. Had this happen to a friend of mine as well, they were notified Friday. Interestingly they put rotary wing pilot at 1 and CSO 2, got picked up for CSO but not UHT and turned down the slot. Commander got a call Friday that short-notice they could add her to the roster at Ft Novosel. Maybe whatever is going on at Laughlin isn't limited to just that base/fixed wing rated accessions.
  22. Firstly, poor taste in photo choice, obviously. Secondly, the offer is par for the course across many presidential PACs that span R and D. Thirdly, this is a PAC, not the president directly - he had zero personal direction associated with wording or picture. Bottom line - whoever in the PAC made the photo choice is a dipshit, but the fake outrage directed directly at Trump is just that.
  23. There aint enough cuss words to drive 98 everyday.
  24. Don’t be silly dude, this is baseops.. disrespecting the troops only matters when left wing presidents do it
  25. classy move🫡 CNBCTrump fundraising pitch features U.S. soldiers killed in...The email solicitation to benefit Trump’s PAC also offers donors “private national security briefings.”
  26. I was driving on 98 heading to the base one day and some clown pulled out in front of me which prompted a response. A few seconds later my three years chimes in from the back seat...."Dad, what's a F@cking &sshole?"
