OA-1K can't fly IMC yet so they aren't ready to be a tanker...

We could try the elemental approach: Air, Space, Water, Ground Force. Tolstoy: War Force and Peace Force. Spear method: Kill Force and Support Force. J method: Personnel Force, Intel Force, Ops Force, Logistics Force, Strategy Force, C4 Force, Training Force, Medical Force, Cats and Dogs Force. Mental abilities: Normal Force, Special Force. Morality: Good Force, Evil Force. Miller: Tastes Great Force, Less Filling Force, aka Eat Shit Force and Fuck You Force.

Not sure this has been posted in the thread but Victory Aviation in a modified Thrush 510 doing AR https://www.victoryspecialmissions.com/military Is there any proposal or capability to do this with the OA-1K?

McConnell KC-135 out of T-38s? Woof. This. MacDill is on the way in the late 2020s, but wont start deliver or PCS until the other MOBs are full up. March, MacDill, and Selfridge are the near rocks.

So do I, but it doesn’t involve E-3, E-2D, E-7, etc. If you think it does, you are unfortunately missing some valuable information, context, experience, and overall understanding gleaned from all of that. That’s not a spear, it’s just a pragmatic “you don’t know what you don’t know,” and I’ll leave it at that. That we agree on. Acquisitions process has been fucked for a long time.

Nope, we’re thinking of the exact same scenarios. I understand how to get sensors in range to accomplish jobs while staying within ALR if it’s aggressive enough. You keep referencing WW3; does your scenario stop short of the point where multiple orbits have been attacked with nuclear weapons? If America has built an asymmetric (but vulnerable) advantage in space and is using it to attack, only economic interests are stopping a nuclear-armed dictator from letting them fly. Personally, I don’t believe in nuclear winter or EMP that much and plan on fighting after the exchange. I hope we still have something PMC with a chair in it or else I’ll be relegated to third string KP duty. China also believes in non-LO airplanes; that’s why they keep building them. They also have a luxury we don’t: they can actually build stuff on timelines and deliver capabilities before they’re OBE. The real issue with the E-7 is that regardless of funding we still wouldn’t deliver one (and it’s just one) for 2 more years still even though it’s a 20 year old existing jet.

I do have some inside info, a sim site manager is being hired at the end of this year, instructors spinning up in 2026, and they should start getting their jets around then. Look at UPT drops to be 2029-2030 (I thought it would be less than that).

From what I'm reading the tax is still there now. Basically no changes? Am I wrong?

Is anyone here interviewing at Maxwell for the MH-139 program next month?

AMC has had SIB’s the AMC/CC elected to have a CDI instead of an AIB because they didn’t want certain “evidence” to become public.

My understanding of the process is the parliamentarian goes through and throws stuff out that's policy rather than taxes but the majority leader could add it back in. My guess is based on the 51-49 vote, there was one or two "Republicans" that didn't want that included, so it wasn't put back in. Should have put it back in and forced the people to vote. Easy to remove it and vote again but at least everyone knows where their Senators stand.

Allegedly if the NFA 200$ stamp becomes 0$, the registration can be challenged in court since it's technically a registration for who paid the tax. Or at least that's the R cop-out justification for not fighting the parliamentarians move; I don't believe it'll work & think they're all liars. i think we got played (again) by R leadership who included SHORT not for 2A reasons but rather a throw-away COA they could dump as fake "concession" to show compromise.

Considering they didn't even take on the assault weapons ban case, I highly doubt the SCOTUS will be dealing any blows to the NFA soon.

Makes sense they wouldn’t have a releasable AIB for security reasons in some cases.

Remember this? If my mama said she was going to whip me up one side and down the other. Chuck Norris couldn't survive that.

Been happening for many years in FL.

Interesting. I assumed they were required by statute so there was something publicly releasable so the US taxpayer got to have some sort of insight into where their tax dollars just went.

I had never heard the audio before

Unless you've got some inside info, last I saw Macdill 46's are pushing 2030.

I have no relevant advice to offer (I wish I did). Just curious how it went?
