And, I would reply, AI me, vote lost. That's why I think an old school, people based, text/reply, ad campaign, might mean the difference between winning or losing. If I were a candidate and had a million, I'd 100% spend it on real people engaging real people.

Maybe. But I also find politicians response to question unhuman most of the time so it'd be hard to tell if it's political bullshit or a bot. "Well Bob, what I find really important to talk about is <insert totally unreleated topic here>." Polished politicians are about as human as Claude.

Yeah, but the average IQ can spot AI a mile away.

The human on the other end couldn't convince me they're not a bot and therefore it wouldn't do anything for me. Claude et al are just too good and fluent to trust an unseen respondent.

Random question for the 60ish people left on this forum (based off voting on tapatalk question), if you've been getting texts for your local elections, have you replied? Did a person respond? If I were a candidate, all my money would be on texting and in person replies. Engage the person, empathize, get em to vote for me. A million spend this way is votes. Attack ad bullshit is a waste. Thoughts?

Don't sell it short, the last student sortie in the Tweet was 2009.

Dibs!

Thanks for bringing back my Tinnitus's PTSD. My ears just started ringing....more...

Remember, that person gets to vote.

T-37: 1954 - 2005 T-6: 2005 - ...wait, what? Are you shitting me?

As a civilian researcher, I am curious how bringing back waist measurement with twice a year testing changes things compared with the earlier once a year model for high scorers. Does the HAMR option change that picture in practice?

Gotcha, their x post (JBSA) didn’t mention the hard landing and just seeing that part now from this thread. The venerable T-6 though is showing its age, 53% MC rate. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-mission-capable-rates-fiscal-2024/ I’d prefer a return to a jet based primary trainer but that ain’t happening, the T-6C is the easy button so press it Air Force.

(Speculation) I wonder if the emergency gear extension system failed....again...

I mean, if you like Shatner, he's all yours.

Do I hear Dibs?

UCT 27-02 (the last of a syllabus) HC-130 x 2 (1 guard) LC-130 x 1 (guard) MC-130 x 1 B-52 x 2

This happened to a Navy T-6 something around 11-12 years ago if I remember correctly. Too high rate of descent on an ELP.

True. Heard that part this morning. Shit happens in training sometimes, glad the seats worked as advertised.

T-6 production line is still open, the simple answer is right in front of us. 🤷🏼‍♂️ But also I’ve been in acquisitions and know it’s not that simple, even though it should be. Glad they got out and are okay 🍻

I'm not arguing they don't need new iron, but a landing hard enough to break the T-6 gear very well may have broken new iron gear, too.

Glad they got out, controlled ejection, new iron people (leaders lurking on this forum), AETC needs it ASAP.

Glad they got out. T-6 isn’t aging as gracefully as the Tweet.

Laughs in DSG. Still once a year for us part timers.
