Ah yes, the hardcore fucking of a... **checks markets**... 4% drawdown. From astronomical highs. Like the economic disaster from Ukraine? Or the social catastrophe that followed Maduro's capture? Or the military disaster of the summer attacks on Iran? How many times does the philosophy have to be wrong before you question the philosophy itself?

Here is what Mr Trump thinks of you, your service, sacrifice, and your life should it end with his actions; a promotional appearance to sell hats.

Probably What would / could we do if it was disclosed? Rhetorical and just putting myself into the shoes of US leadership right now, I’d probably suppress it. If any of the crew were killed, different story. I know one of the crew was injured on ejection (ejection itself has physical consequences too), I’d tell the Kuwaitis to be prepared to quietly and amply compensate them after hostilities are over. The primary objective is to win the war, military operation, collapse the regime, etc… I hate it, it is morally compromising and not a good but necessary thing for where we are now.

Pretty sure it’s done as the T-1 is no longer training students. But I’ve been out of the game for a while so I could be wrong.

Is the program still running? Tried searching and the most recent thing I could find was a graduating class in 2024 UPT 24-14 and XPW 24-15 Graduation > Air Education and Training Command > Article Display My neighbor's kids a pilot. And we talked about him possibly joining the 920th and the Accelerated Patch program.

Hell, it beats the alternative!

This is going to be an economic, social, and military disaster.

The market is getting fucked this week based on oil spikes.

Air Force waivers are (almost) always approved if you meet the waiver requirements. For LASIK this means, 20/20 acuity, 20/50 low contrast acuity, normal stereopsis, etc. It's really pretty routine today, although your pre-op refractive error is a little unusual for LASIK. Best of luck.

To include Lt LeMay.

Fairly certain @M2 gave Eddie Rickenbacker his first intel brief.

Hello, I'm currently in the Navy and was disqualified from being a pilot due to my pre-lasik refractive error (+4.25/+3.5 sphere). I'm currently looking into other options, including the Air Force if I'm able to obtain a waiver. According to the most recent waiver guide I could find, Lasik is waiverable for pre-op errors up to +5.00 diopters. I had Lasik 5 years ago and have been 20/20 since with no complications (no flaps, haze, etc.), so I've got that going for me. Dumb question, but does anyone have a feel on how likely I am to get a waiver, or will I just have to gamble and hope the board is feeling generous?

oooffff I remember showing up here as a UPT select and you were still AD. My back hurts...

He does indeed. And unfortunately that doesn't really mean much. He could have 10 million followers like some of the bigger science YouTubers, and it still wouldn't matter. It's all about ad prints. Don't get me wrong, there aren't many people I would rate higher as a friend, co-worker, or all around bro then John. I have another friend who makes about $50,000 a month on YouTube. All he posts are reaction videos of him watching videos of women doing or saying stupid shit while he overlays an incel/misogynist narrative with goofy sound effects included. It's the most cringy, immature shit imaginable. And he absolutely despises his followers, just like he despises the alpha male, diet-Andrew-Tate persona he puts on to make these videos, two a day, 5 days a week. Funnily enough, he's actually a pussy whipped bitch if you ever see him around his wife, but online he's a perfectly manicured toxic male. The algorithm cares only about engagement, and nothing drives engagement better than rage, jealousy, and inadequacy. It's also just wildly unproductive for society for someone as talented and driven as John to waste even 5 seconds of his time making YouTube more money 🤷🏻‍♂️

He has 459,000 followers 🤷‍♂️

No tear shed for Noem. Can't believe DHS has a freaking Max8 BBJ for someone who is BARELY a DV2 and shouldn't even rate a C-40. DHS has their own USCG C-37 and the stank around the 4x BBJ lease is massive FWA, IMO. On a personal level, I hope the USCG pilot that got yelled at by her side piece got a nice bottle from his Sq for dealing with that drama. She was quiet as a church mouse when I flew her a while back. Can't imagine what I would have done in that blanket situation...

Let’s not forget how the French Embassy in Hanoi gave intel also.

And, not so incredibly, Pancho Villa knew Huggy.

Everyone forgets how much support the Soviets gave North Korea and North Vietnam to include Soviet troops participating in combat operations against us in those wars.

RVS on the KC-767 works…ask the Italians or Japanese. USAF specified a different RVS system for KC-46.

You guys are giving way too much credit to gulf states…it is horribly apparent how much they have no idea what they’re doing with all the equipment we sell them (nor do they appear to use any reasonable application of ROE, SPINs, etc.) It’s far worse than I imagined.

Disgusting

Ugh. John is a great dude but man am I tired of everyone trying to be an influencer.
