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?

I hope FL doesn’t end up on the short end of this stick. The last thing any state needs is a bunch of dumbass NYC-ers moving their way.

I think the big hump for many to get over is the significant paradigm shift - peer warfare has rapidly changed and airborne C2, as we know it, is essentially obsolete (at least until we destroy a lot of adversary capabilities). So, we’ve had to look at other means to gain battle space awareness, ITW, data passage, etc. So again, yawn to the E7 getting shitcanned; G550s (or similar) to support the non-peer stuff.

Life is about trade offs. The easy counter to this is what kind of ground footprint required when we are talking about expeditionary basing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Completely feel this. Wasn't sure what narrative statements held the most weight on the 215 specifically. It was tough cutting fat on statements i felt were strong. Relied heavily on my personal letter and letter of rec to capture other things that weren't captured on the 215. I also left block 19 blank. Like you said, it seemed as if it shouldn't be there. Last years 215 i saw from previous applicants had a number 19. Remarks but no box to write in. But my 215 was due to the squadron yesterday so it's in gods hands now.
