Poor kid. He should have just went into golf... and investment banking.

There's a mom joke there.

Trust us, we already knew you were solidly millennial.

New slogan for Guard recruiting: one weekend a month, 2 weeks a year, sharpen your landscaping skills... The National Guard, DC landscaping and the great pursuit of lethality

@slc A visual depiction is easier sometimes…

I wouldn’t say they’re the least competitive, but I don’t know if they’re the most. Truth is there are a ton of airframes you can go to from UCT, so as long as a class’s spread is decent then most people get what they want or something close to it.

Huh?

BaseOps: it is now gay to… **Checks Notes** - Support capitalism - Oppose Russia - Find out who is a pedophile Nah.

Hey I was born that year! 🤣😂

@bs98 Are you gate complete? If you need to take a break from flying, find a staff job or IMA job. I left Active Duty last summer and my mind is boggled by all the ways to serve/get paid as a Reservist. Should be way smoother to get back in a cockpit going that route than by switching to RPAs.

Essentially the hydraulic fluid that was used to service the struts was about 1/4 water. The dumbest of the dumb are put in charge of the tool crib which is normally responsible for the HAZMAT program that monitors the oil and hydro carts and barrels. One of the first times I've seen the direct result of putting your problem kids in the tool crib.

Vanderbilt.

You're being generous, I'd give FSU a 5% chance at best. I would say 0%, but there's always a chance!

Inside 48 hours to OSU-UT. FSU-Alabama at 1230 (PST), Clemson-LSU (1630), Miami-ND Sunday... Made a mistake - My classes are next weekend! I'll be watching it all. I give FSU a 25% shot. Several Alabama players out, 80% chance of rain... But I have no idea what we have.

? There are other rounds than just 5.56. 300BLK with a good can won't even wake up the kids. Then again, sometimes I'm pretty sure a 155mm howitzer wouldn't wake up the kids either 🤣😂

Glad the tradition carried on Huggy. The first one was '85 just as I was leaving the AF.

Curiosity here based on a few reddit threads and from talking to a few acquaintances on the Navy's NFO side. Fighters from what I was told are the least competitive to be assigned as an NFO, whereas P-8s are the most competitive. On the CSO side of the house are the trends similar where fighters are least competitve and other platforms are more?

That explains things somewhat! Back around '97, D-M hosted an ACC Crud tournament. It was sponsored by Hiram Walker and the winning team got $10,000. Every ACC base but one sent a team. It was awesome. When we got there, the Wing CC Colonel gave a talk to all of the teams in the Club. Cynical me was waiting to hear the usual spiel, blah blah blah. Instead, he gave a great but short talk about keeping the traditions alive and to make the most of the weekend. I don't remember the specific worlds but it was so refreshing to hear someone tell us to push it up hard and leave exhausted. I have no idea how he got promoted keeping those old school values, but I'm glad he did. https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/104647/general-john-dw-corley/ We proceeded to have a pretty epic 3-days. I guess it was in D-M's DNA.

Probably goes a long ways to explain why we as a country can't win wars, build roads in a reasonable amount of time, why our biggest manufacturers (Boeing, Ford, etc.) have lost their way, etc.
