    Man, times are a changing...
  3. Today

  4. 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.
  7. 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!

    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.
  12. Yesterday

  13. MX leadership at a deployed location will be busy the next few weeks trying to figure out who did this since it went viral 😂
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Been in test on the Raptor for some time. Closest View Yet of F-22 Raptor With Stealth Tanks and Stealth Pods
  17. There's one across the street from my office!
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Might already be operational https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-and-us-modified-f-35-jets-enable-iran-attack-without-refuelling-sources-say
  23. Last week

  24. Flip that: one airman is learning you cannot fit a C-5 into a sex doll...and ordering ALOT of replacements. Warranty coverage?
  25. Pretty funny CSO drop video
  26. I believe #1 priority is stealthy fuel tanks like they recently introduced to the Raptor. F35 already has a lot of gas...wing tanks will be a great force extender.
