🫡🫡🫡 to our USCG brothers!! ‘A Nightmare’: The Coast Guard’s Harrowing Flight to Camp Mystic I participated in a SAREX to certify crews in Texas in April, and was hoisted into a MH-65E Dolphin off a small island on Lake Houston just north of the McKay Bridge. Little did we know at the time that the Guadalupe floods in Ingram and Hunt three months would put these same crews to the test, and they (and others) rose to the challenge! God bless each and every one of them!

Legends!!

Mover n Gonky discussed this on their channel, USN’s reasoning is that if PLM is not working they’ll do a land recovery or take a barrier anyway, their jets their rules but a bold strategy Cotton… ———————————————— If there was a program to replace the T-6 and expand the syllabus taught in phase 2 M-345… took a big sip of the kool aid… it’s probably the best jet for an intermediate+ trainer PC-21 / AT-6C if the Bobs wanted to stay turboprop for intermediate+ trainer

Blue Angels epically trolled the nitwit in Cali who is suing them.

Slippery slope...DC went from Red Light cameras to speed cameras...all in the name of safety right...wrong. The "rules" say a sworn police officer has to review each picture and swear an affidavit that states the violation is legit and all parameters are met (radar was certified, car in the picture is in the frame, no other cars....etc). During my last hostage tour int he five sided building my wife and I were going up to Dewey Beach for a long weekend with the family. We were in two separate cars because I was coming back a day early to go to work. A couple weeks later a photo speed ticket shows up in the mail with my name and my wife's car in the picture. I knew exactly where it happened and I was behind her....we were not speeding. I took a closer look and there was another car in the frame with her in the other lane and it was passing her, but she got the ticket. I took it to court and won in .69 seconds. The court story is actually funny, I spent an entire day building a slide presentation with my radar theory book form Weapons School. I calculated the beam with and was ready to conduct a master class in court. Day of court arrives and there are two case in front of me. Judge calls the first guy and he is there with his wife. Judge says "Mr Smith you got two tickets in 20 minutes, how do you plead?" He replies "innocent your honor." Judge brings the picture up on the big screen and says "what is your defense?" The dude launches into a story about going to help his handicapped grandchildren. At first the judge rolls her eyes then she notices something on the ticket, "Mr so and so there appears to be a problem with the affidavit and jurisdiction on these tickets." The dude keeps blathering on but his wife is standing there with him, she figures it out and elbows him in the side to shut up. A few seconds later judge says "Yup these are invalid, both tickets are dismissed" The judge calls the next case and it is this much older woman. Judge says "Mrs smith and so how do you plead?" She replies "innocent your honor." Judge brings the picture up on the big screen and says "what is your defense?" The lady then replies "well your honor, I didn't have my references." Everyone is puzzled....Judge says "Ma'am....your references?" She replies "Yes ma'am, they are doing construction and I didn't have my references to know where the speed camera was" Everyone laughs, .69 seconds later..."Guilty, $100 fine." Now I am up Judge says "Mr bag of donuts how do you plead?" I reply "innocent your honor." Judge brings the picture up on the big screen and says "what is your defense?" I said "clearly looking a the picture your honor you can see there are two cars in the radar beam." I take a breath and start to pull out my slide presentation when the judge says "You are right, case dismissed." But but your honor, I have a presentation, I want to be more right! At the end of the day I won the case because I was right, but the lesson here is 3 of the 4 tickets were incorrect and they are putting the onus on the citizen to prove their innocence. Cameras are a powerful tool but it opens the aperture to so many other questionable things.

Ball is in your court Sig.......your move. This will be interesting

Word on the street is they miss you too. They miss you long time.

Only if it's set to extra slow mode.

Seems like a very Rube Goldbergian way to learn how to fly drones. It's like enlisting in the Navy to learn how to swim - sure, it might work, but there are probably easier ways.

Try screenshot and paste

Man it does not like our pic, for some reason it gives me this error each time I try to upload it

Indeed! Sorry, been back at the grind. An exhausting week followed by jumping right back to working traffic.

You go ahead and try to get it outlawed, and I'll try to get it so that we at least get some sort of benefit out of what's already happening. There is no putting this genie back in the bottle. But hopefully it can at least be harnessed and controlled. Plus I'm not sure I'm particularly concerned about the freedom to commit traffic violations, and I don't suspect the founders were either.

Probably. But I can't get away with running down the geriatric driver that's the 5th car to run the red light and slapping them for being a selfish asshole. So I'm torn.

Are you guys high? You trust the government to handle that kind of power over us? I want to completely outlaw any and all spy type equipment (sounds like y’all want the patriot act on steroids) used to monitor us.

Florida is crazy with them. But set reasonable specs that are codified in state law so municipalities can't play loose with the system. I believe Floriday did pass a law a couple years ago to reign them in.

Fifth RFI? They don’t know what they want.

"The International Defensive Pistol Association, Inc. (IDPA), in response to numerous reports and videos, is immediately prohibiting the use of the SIG Sauer P320 in all of it’s variants from any competition or event under the name of IDPA. All other SIG Sauer models may be used in the division appropriate for their configuration. The goal of IDPA is safety first for our members, competitors, staff and spectators and all others associated with any IDPA event. While we have no direct knowledge of the potential technical defect of the weapon system, the volume of ranges, organizations and military units declaring a problem has made it too visible to deny. We will re-evaluate this decision in the future if new credible information emerges. We are aware that this decision will affect a limited number of competitors at the National Championship. Please understand that safety for all in the sport is paramount. For those affected, please contact he**@id**.com . Division changes for those affected will be allowed until August 8. “IDPA is committed to maintaining a fair, competitive, and inclusive environment for all shooters,” said IDPA President Joyce Wilson. “Banning a particular firearm is the last thing we ever want to do as an organization, but the safety of our members and potential spectators has to come first."

Holy cow: So even if they do get it, their first time landing on the boat will be in a F-35/F-18/C-2/E-2? Their vaunted PLM better work.

My brother's dept dumped their 226s 10 or 15 years ago. Same story.

I know. I'll be streaming them on my phone.

This year I needed a 2.5 year etp I was short a few weeks. Anyone else needed one and has it been sent back yet considering board submission is two weeks away?
