100% agree and that fact should shame our GOs; their success compared to our prevaricating came from willpower not technical inadequacies on our part. Just reminding everyone we've been tricked before WRT WMD.

Real or not, Israel has done more to accomplish defanging the regime and its proxies in the region over the last 12 months than we managed to accomplish in 20 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy to see Iran getting crushed and one must respect how ruthlessly Israel plays the game. Had we been as vicious/decisive I think outcomes from the GWOT would be more advantageous. I am curious about the "Iran nuke threat;" yes I've seen plenty of scary intel, but we'd be foolish not to keep the false claims of Saddam WMD top of mind before getting involved.

The US has the luxury of having of taking the mullah's word and then saying my bad I believed you, the Israelis don't, just one nuke would devastate the whole country. One device in a truck parked in Tel Aviv by Hamas or Hezbollah would guarantee Iran's death plus most of Israel in its death throws in a massive nuclear retaliation.

Hello all, Would like to get any and all feedback about my chances of getting picked up by a heavy unit. Here is my profile: Age: 28 YO (turning 29 in a month) PCSM: 75 (with 12 hours) (I'll probably try and retake the TBAS) AFOQT: Pilot: 99 Nav:98 AA:90 V:94 Q:72 Education: MBA w/3.4 GPA, Economics undergrad w/ 3.6 GPA (Both from FSU) LOR: Former AF supply Officer who was my old boss, Former Navy Supply Officer who was an old coworker, Florida state congressman I interned for in college, and also a letter of appreciation from the CO of the Naval Observatory when I worked there (not sure if I can use that but figure it wouldn't hurt to throw on an app) Extracurricular: Surfing, snowboarding, golf, tennis. Volunteer at the local homeless shelter to Job: Was a Contract Specialist for GSA working on DoD contracts (Until Elon DOGED me hard) The only thing I feel I am missing is a PPL. Just got laid off from my government job and don't want to blow 20k of my dwindling savings that I might need to survive and also don't really have the time because all my waking hours are looking for a job. Totally understand that the PPL shows you like flying and can do it, but with my situation right now I feel like it would be very unwise. I have always wanted to be a pilot and have loved every second I've been in the air I will add. What are my chances of getting picked up by a heavy unit? I'm a pretty social person and at least I think I'm cool so feel like I could do decent in any interview. Not picky on airframe at all or location for the most part, save Alaska and the few units that are 5 hours from any city of 100k+ Really appreciate any feedback or advice!!

Indeed

So I read Gabbard testified that Iran was not starting their Nuke program. Trump is telling Iran to surrender unconditionally. wild times

I was selected for OTS over 6 months ago. My local base (Scott) refuses to schedule me for an IFC. I have now called countless other bases and they all say “have Scott do it”. Any suggestions on getting this sorted out?

Truly freaking EPIC!!! Just as she says with Allah no bomb can reach us.

Hacker, are you at least coning to the event?

Dibs!

777s as GBU-57 armed bombers… https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/israels-strategy-now-rests-on-one-bomb-and-its-american I wonder if this is like the HARM on a MiG-29, it’s already been worked out but not tried yet.

This Iranian living in Great Britian does a pretty good job of reporting:

Bwahaha. Yes, the Caspian. My bad.

You mean the Caspian right? I agree with you in principle, but my head spun for a second. Unless you’re thinking of the other war going on over in that hemisphere.

Anybody selling off right now?

The CAF B-29 will be there again. We're going to be on the Plaza Mon-Wed like last year, and flying in the evening show on Wednesday with Doc again. Even though I'm the Squadron scheduler, right now I'm not on the board to fly the show. Trying to spread the love since I was in last year.

Persian women, black seas resorts, ski slopes, persian women. One can dream of a westernized Iran......

Which one?

Installment as 19AF/CC? No, no, don't get up. I'll show myself out...

Maybe I have missed it both here and in the various HQ talks... Does anyone know what the plan is for people coming to UPT who have all their ratings?

Watching your childhood go up in flames... ouch

They ripped the lid off, now they have to fully finish it. They need an end state like Japan in WW2 - complete demilitarization, confiscation of all war material, etc. Iran cannot have any capability to project power outside its borders. Hopefully this is also a catalyst for the Iranian people to rid themselves of the horrendous regime they’ve been under for the last ~45 years.
