When doubling down gets a new meaning: Note, I was also thinking of a "We heard you like blockades, so we blockaded your blockade. Now you can blockade while you get blockaded."

Second that notion. But the times change constantly. If your DO is worth his salt, he should be able to help read the terrain for you and give good advice. If not the DO, the ADOs should have an ok feel for it. Historically though, no. If you did an all flying 6-month deployment, the quantity of flying should show up in air medals and AAMs. The promotion boards are relatively good at recognizing work that's been put in.

His virtue signal turned around and bit him.

Okay. I found the problem. Somehow the default Theme got reset to that garbage that you screenshotted (is that a word). I've fixed that in the settings, and now everybody should be seeing something similar to the second screenshot that @gearhog posted. As to the above the fold vs below the fold discussion... I'm not trying to aggressively drive engagement. However, I think we should have a user-friendly design. I agree that I don't understand the difference between the Squadron Bar and the General Discussion subforums anymore. Let's be honest, almost every thread devolves into political name-calling. All of that said, I'm open to suggestions on how to streamline some of the subforums.

Hold on. What in the actual F is that last screenshot? I see (and I think most people see) the second screenshot.... Let me check some settings!

I'd say the vast majority of people who visit here bypass all the other forums and go straight to General Discussion and Squadron Bar. There's so much overlap in the content that there's no real reason to have these forums separate, and they're located further down the page. New folks are interested in the "What are my chances?" and "Pilot selection process" forums. They're at the bottom of the page. There is very little interest in any of the other forums. They should be at the bottom. Not trying to call your baby ugly, and maybe you're not trying to drive traffic and engagement, but the forum is declining. If you want to stop in and see what people are talking about, which format is the most user-friendly? Not that this site should be built according to my personal tastes, but I've been here since the inception of the site and I think others may feel the same way.: It's no longer easy to login, glance at the front page, and browse the topics being discussed.

What are you talking about? The site's running normal for me...

That would be so typical AF, we have something that works, is field tested. Great now let's over engineer it, spend millions and delay it until the jet is gone.

Would be cool if it could fold down

The new $1.2M helmet system gets around that pesky issue. Just a few more years to go for fielding.

I'm not talking about getting on the basket, I'm wondering if you have an obstructed view to put the gun or bomb pipper on the target as you squeeze the trigger or hit the pickle button.

WTF in a good way. Very cool https://www.instagram.com/ainterestingupdate/reel/DW1ziaLhCRX/

2 Aft, three high....quiblling.

Unless there was something very notable that you did outside of flying I would say no. Your achievements should be captured in your Air Medals.

Honestly surprised it isn't spelled "Trumphal." 🤣

If I went on a flying deployment for 6ish months should I be writing myself a dec at the end of it? Will I look like a POS to a promotion board if I don't have a dec for that period? All I've done is fly and flying-related duties.

1st - moving this topic to the 781 subforum. 2nd - I haven't pushed an update in a while. 3rd - minus the heritage subforums I added, this subforum structure has been the same since.... Probably the early 2000s.

So now we're going with the "lalallaa I can't hear you" level of debate. Got it. Yes I hate Trump as a person. But I've argued the policy not the man. Weird how different conflicts can have different stances. It's almost as if you're comparing apples to oranges! Ukraine: Defensive. 0 American lives. Extremely costly for 1 of our 2 global adversaries. Important for stability in Europe. Protecting a fledgling democracy Brought new critical positioned nations into NATO. Iran: Offensive. Absurdly more expensive per day than Ukraine in 2 months (iran: $48B + $1B/day vs ukraine: $120B of $180B congressionally allocated spent in 1507 days). Costing American lives and showcasing our weaknesses to China. Disrupted global economic stability, drove inflation up again, and empowered a tier 2 adversary while alienating allies.

Ukraine? Wait, isn’t that supposed to be over?

Something else that needs to go away. FawesomeWatch When Cops Become Robbers Full Movie Free Online - F...Civil Asset Forfeiture lets police legally seize property on mere suspicion, without proof. Victims must prove innocence at their own cost, reversing justice. Our documentary exposes this abuse throug

Agreed.

That's NextDoor quality meme

Didn't know grandpa Facebook memes were leaking here as well.
