By "Had a model of the B-58 as a kid" he means when he was an aircraft commander in the B-58 as a young captain and they put his name on the side. Hence the active memories of losing an outboard engine.

Seconded. In a real situation your first rounds with a pistol are rarely actually aimed, they are pointed. With a pistol in a startle situation, you point and click before your frontal cortex takes over, so practice doing that at the range. Sights on a reactionary weapon are often ignored until after the first rounds are fired. If you can get good with your iron sights, stick with it. If you've trained enough with a red-dot that it's reactionary, stick with that. Get good at whatever you pick. Practice your entire draw from the seated posture that you'll likely be in. Additionally, many I've talked to recommend a double action/single action pistol. Purportedly it slows you down just enough to start thinking and it gives you peace of mind when you've got chambered round staring at your twig and berries. Not sure where I stand on that (I carry a glock 48 with iron sights), but it's a common refrain. The max comfort I've seen is a wheel gun carried high inside the waistband. Wyatt Earp would approve.

For those who use our Pacific service: Our station in Hawaii is currently off the air due to the loss of electrical service. There was no damage to the station, but the outage will reduce our ability to provide coverage in the Pacific. We are hopeful that a station in Alaska will soon be available to help fill some of the coverage gaps. At this time, there is no indication when the Hawaii station will return to service, as widespread power issues continue across the islands. We wish the people of Hawaii the very best and hope conditions improve quickly so they can return to their normal lives

Under two weeks to go. I read an interesting article that reported the NIL spending of all the programs in P4. Miami, OSU, Oregon, Texas, TAMU, and LSU are all over $40m a year. USC is over $30m and FSU and Clemson are over $20m.

Man, times are a changing...

Hilarious! I love the no winner tic tac toe, a perfect impression.

DOJ Says Lawful Gun Owners Can Carry in Post Offices For decades, gun owners have generally been told that carrying a firearm into a U.S. Post Office is illegal. The Justice Department now says that isn't what federal law actually says. In a significant legal opinion issued August 12, 2026, the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel concluded that federal law permits otherwise law-abiding citizens to carry constitutionally protected firearms for self-defense inside post offices that are generally open to the public. Even more importantly, DOJ concluded that the U.S. Postal Service cannot enforce its separate regulation that purports to ban firearms on postal property without a self-defense exception. There are some important limitations here, and this isn't the same thing as the Supreme Court striking down the post office gun ban. But this is a major change in the federal government's position… (Full story at title link)

IWB Glock 19 with Ameriglo sights, 1 extra magazine.

My dad flew for the Air Force for nearly 3 decades. If you ask him why he wanted to be a pilot, he will tell you about the time he went to an air show in Columbus, Ohio when he was 8 or 9. When the B-58 took off, it gave him a nosebleed. Strange way to find your calling, but that was it for him!

This makes sense!

Ditch the laser and practice practice practice. It really doesn't matter in the end what you carry, only that you can use it under stress

9mm duty pistol with a red dot on it. Lots of practice (dry fire and live fire).

I mean, obviously. Then you can carry a full size. Shenandoah wasn't wrong.

Looking for the brain trust here to provide some guidance. The facts: I live out in the country attend a very small church with a small congregation was recently asked to be a member of the security team I currently carry a concealed 9mm with a laser sight and it’s loaded with home defense rounds What would you guys recommend carrying that has decent range, stopping power and also works well as a concealable carry weapon? What would your load-out consist of? Any particular brands I should absolutely go with? For what it’s worth, I was thinking a front holster IWB, but am open to suggestions. I appreciate your guys’ opinions and expertise.

MX leadership at a deployed location will be busy the next few weeks trying to figure out who did this since it went viral 😂

Nice My main quibble and the point(s) BURT made well in his article in support of the Rhino was the expeditionary capability inherent in it vs the -35 for a replacement if the AF wants to preserve the Attack community which I obviously support Changing the argument or adding to it should be the need for an AF expeditionary strike fighter focusing on the attack mission set. A force forward based to redeploy quickly to complicate enemy targeting and survive, to interoperate with the main branch leading the PACOM theater seamlessly, etc… Saving the Hog would be great but ultimately the mission and operational conditions have moved on and in particular the tyranny of distance necessitates new iron.

Had a model of the B-58 as a kid, my son has one on his wall in his bedroom. There are lots of great videos of it on Youtube, ran like a scalded ape on the deck...also very dangerous, especially when losing an outboard engine.

There's one across the street from my office!

Yeah I just added the dates associated with my combat hours and total hours…. Just to show those are only current as of August of this year. Understanding that I’ll be close to 1000 by the time the board is meeting up.

Stoked for you! I checked every day this week, haha! I believe it’ll be next week! Flight med did say it’s usually about 10 days from when they send it.

Squadron under OG here with no deadline either. At this point, I’m not knocking asking for a deadline since I’m still waiting on the medical to get stamped 😅. Hopefully I’ll get it back next week and have everything submitted before end of month. Did any of you guys use the “remarks” section of the 215? Just curious on what would go there.

Rated squadron (RPAs). There’s no deadlines set, just doing an internal bro level QC of all docs with the front office/execs. They said they’d let me know when the no shit deadline is in case I need to submit anything else last minute or update something.
