The Next President is...
He has bigger issues to deal with now that Hegseth just declared Mormonism is not a religion AND that members of the military may not declare themselves Atheist. Dude has to go.

The Failed Liberal State of California
I routinely RON in California, and have seen the degradation in multiple cities first hand over the past 5 years, but is this kind of election process that takes a MONTH to complete normal anywhere else? A month to count ballots seems like a ripe breeding ground for fraud to go undetected. https://dp.electionresults.sos.ca.gov/

2027 ACTIVE DUTY UFT BOARD
What you need is the 2808 which you can request under medical clearance in IMR then work with your flight med to complete. Eventually once you jump through all the hoops it'll be routed and be returned stamped as eligible for FC1 assuming all goes well. If you haven't started that you're behind. It took like 3-4 months from me completing the tests and having the flight doc sign it to getting it back stamped from HQ. Whatever date the stamp has on it is where the 4 year mark is based. In my case, my IFC was stamped in July of 2024 so it is good until July of 2028. This year's board would be the last time I could apply on that 2808 before I'd have redo everything to get another one since it has to be valid through 31 Dec 2027 IAW the PSDM. The 2992 is for current fliers showing their current flying status which is probably just to check that you're not currently DNIF.

2027 ACTIVE DUTY UFT BOARD
Hello everyone. First Time applying. Dumb question. I am not currently a flyer, so do I not have to submit a DD2808? Also, I got a DD2992 last April and it expired March this year. I thought they were good for 4 years?

Flying Videos Thread Part 2!
The really rough part will be if the body had damage. Can't replace any of the fuselage since its all carbon fiber. Slight chance this will be a hull loss depending on how hard it hit. The front end of a 500K lbs airplane falling 6 feet could be a significant shock if the gear suddenly collapsed.

CNBCTrump storms out of interview after being challenged abou...The president said he would like to see the weaponization fund proceed despite setbacks.He's starting to flail. Just goes to show how no matter what's going on or what he's doing, at his core his ego cannot be controlled. Literally nobody gives a shit about January 6th or his nonsensical election fraud claims, yet he keeps bringing up these losing topics because he can't stand the idea that there are any losses whatsoever.- That Cyber Thread
New studies coming out about building out a Cyber Force. Still working through it, this was an interesting article about it - https://defensescoop.com/2026/06/05/a-cyber-force-without-enlisted-new-report-poses-model-for-standalone-military-cyber-organization/ Of note is they're leading with a Officer, Warrant, Civ and no enlisted force. Study - https://csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/2026-06/260602_Stiefel_Commission_Cyber.pdf?VersionId=pgsvIgJ5pgEwBl0WCFripVqbQeQ7z7eZ- The Iran thread
It's always the management causing the issues. I've worked with engineers from all the main contractors. Some got more of the 'tism than I care to interact with, but they're working hard for the nation. It's always the damn managers, and execs, that delay, ask for more money, etc. Also, some gov civs fucking hate contractors even if they're kicking ass, solving problems, and creating/improving capes. That was a new one for me in my brief time in DoD contracting.- Reasons to despise cops
I posted about this story somewhere in the forum, but some follow up. Story is about a father that drove to chase down a dude that took his daughter. Caught up, scuffle, shots, abducter dead. Father arrested, charged, then his dashcam memory card that captured the encounter goes missing. He decides to run for sheriff, wins the primary against the incumbent. AR Supreme court replaces judge. New judge just dismissed the charges. Sheriff then fires the detective on the case. I think he'll become the next Sheriff. Hollywood next. Judge dismisses murder charge against Lonoke County sheri...A judge on Thursday dismissed the murder charge against Aaron Spencer, the Republican nominee for Lonoke County sheriff who killed a man he said sexually abused his teen daughter.- The Failed Liberal State of California

It's already over though. Not like any of those votes will flip to Pratt even if he ends up getting the primary nod.- The Failed Liberal State of California
Given how close the race appears to be, I'm not surprised. It's a detailed thing to make sure the democrat wins by a small enough margin to make it look like there wasn't too much meddling. At least in the Gov race.- The Failed Liberal State of California

- AF Light Air Support Aircraft
Probably so (as to the desire for more hardware except of the most exquisite types). Yeah, the digital tether is still gonna be there but… I would like to see at least research into an AI assisted, organic PED light capability, dedicated to small independent maneuver units, thinking remote austere missions in Africa and small isolated islands in INDOPACOM theater. Just a thought. The Wolfhound replacement is gonna be interesting, 20 aircraft, the tyranny of small fleets. - Reasons to despise cops
