In a stunning course reversal the USAF announced it’s abandoning its planned FUPT program in favor of a crowd sourced plan from a website called Baseops. The man originally responsible for the FUPT program, Gen Leard, is quoted as saying, “those guys on baseops really know what we need so we changed everything based on their posts and are now working with them to fix UPT” As of this post, the Air Force has decided to buy 375 PC-21s, 175 PC-24s and 50 T-54s to recapitalize the UPT enterprise. Congressional representatives were contacted and assured funding was to be approved in a week.

As he well should be. Flight discipline is the bedrock of everything we do.

To be fair, the way people drive around San Antonio, I'd be tempted to use a Javelin on a few select idiots! In the Army supply system, all ammo (including rifle cartridges like 5.56mm, 7.62mm, .300 BLK, etc.) falls under Class V – Ammunition meaning it is consumable. Training allocations are forecasted annually through STRAC (Standards in Training Ammunition), so he may have thought he was doing his unit a favor if they weren't using enough!Collin Raye - That's My Story (Official Video)Hey Boss, I was just getting some hover and terrain masking practice in. I was just as surprised as WO2 Bagonuts to see some redneck standing there giving me a salute.Everyone was doing it.
Maybe I missed it, thought this would have been posted. Hegseth steps in: Pete Hegseth Swiftly Lifts Suspension of Pilots Who Flew by Kid Rock’s House: ‘Carry on, Patriots’ I hope this doesn't turn into a slippery slope. I know a T-38 pilot at Edwards is currently facing an FEB for flying over his house at 200' and doing an aileron roll over the town.In a word, no. That EO, and the whole series it's part of, don't restrict the DOD. They restrict the intelligence community. Nothing stops the military from targeting a head of state - or literally anyone else - if they are declared a legal target / combatant. Not sure where this whole "the military can't kill certain people" idea has come from. Probably news organizations like CNN, NBC, ABC, et al who just clip one-liners from EOs and use them to promote narratives which support their own motives.- Yesterday
No surprise. Maybe some coalition building was needed before pickling missiles. Oh wait, we got a 747. Saulgoodman. Maybe Trump tells em to get in the game or he takes out the power grid, then the neighbors can deal with a medieval times failed state. Meanwhile he's angry with other long term allies, like UK, for not wanting to participate. That should have been part of the decision process as they gamed this out, art of the deal and all. My guess is, as long as its just us and Isreal, this thing will drag on. If the whole ME piles on and starts to beat the shit out of the bully, white flags might pop up. Or not, zealots and all. Break I received one of those texts to a survey. The questions were slanted towards support of current actions for Israel's sake. Not 1 question on nuclear threats. Lastly, I pondered an interesting item. EO12333 against assassination. Should the EO have kept us from participating in bombing the Supreme Leader/staff? Not that any rule, order, or law keeps Trump in check, and I have done 0 research, but just wondering out loud.Vaporware of F-35 EX and EG concepts My druthers, go with the double delta with integrated intakeshttps://amgreatness.com/2026/03/30/something-dark-is-going-on-nine-top-level-scientists-die-or-go-missing-in-past-year/
