I remember buying my first (multi-cal) thinking this’ll cover the calibers I care about, don’t need anymore suppressors. Ha, was I wrong! -
This 1000%. The biggest downside is that I'm now annoyed when I shoot guns that aren't threaded. Especially now being $200 cheaper, you can get an ok silencer for $500 and a good one for $1K. Your only regret is going to be that you didn't buy one earlier. -
I’m not really sold on the software even being improved. I’ve met too many doctors who obviously can crush academics, but in the real world are pretty retarded and lack critical thought/ability to adapt off script. The medical community is right up there with big pharma in my book of “people I don’t trust.”

How DOJ Just Ended a 99-Year-Old Gun Law Great news if it sticks. It's almost impossible to ship a firearm if you're not an FFL anymore. - Yesterday

I was told April/May was a safe bet for earliest PCSs and that the initial training schedule for 2026, which I’m assuming is the IPT schedule , is not expected to come out until February. Based on the reply that justwanttofly received, maybe they got the schedule nailed down quicker than expected. Perhaps they’re trying to get assignments rolling prior to a potential gov shutdown on the 31st.

Case in point, I went TDY to my first ops squadron a little over 4 years after I left it. Other than a nametag on the wall in the bar, there was zero visible evidence I was ever there. And honestly, while slightly humbling, that's the way it should be. Even as a commander, if you are truly irreplaceable, then you've failed.

Sounds like me when the bride and I are watching TV. Drives her nuts. -
yep, doing the same here!! By the way, not only does the license plate frequently change, the right rear brake light does the same!!

Just want to let y'all know, one of my buddies received a RIP today with a RNLTD of 31 Aug to Laughlin and training starting in Oct. He may have gotten a RIP because of a humanitarian thing he's going through but just wanted to give y'all something to look forward to....look for those RIPs soon. I asked where did his RIP come from and he said his front office and probably because of the humanitarian thing.

We all need to stop pretending like this is some sort of new phenomenon. The Doctor who discovered germs was ridiculed to the point of being declared insane, and dying because of it. Doctors have never been particularly accommodating to change, because doctors are just humans with a higher capacity for knowledge retention and association. But that improved software is still running on the same dumb ape hardware. If anything, doctors are even more stubborn and willing to kill people due to their pride than normal people. Too much ego. Don't make friends with doctors. Especially the young ones. The horror stories you will hear about how many people die in hospitals because of senior citizen doctors refusing to retire is absolutely terrifying. -
That was amazing. Adding that to my movies review channels (pitch meetings, honest movie trailers, and the critical drinker).

What drives a supposed doctor who is training to follow science to such a woke response. Saying a yes no answer is political. What is wrong with saying a biological man can't give birth? I fully accept that people identify as the opposite sex...there is likely something physical driving those thoughts and you are free to be who you want in the land of the free...but you can't give birth and you should not compete against biological women. -
And at the same time, they wonder half the country isn't listening to them since they're the "experts". Zero humility, zero accountability when they're wrong. And in the last 6 years they don't even seem capable of admitting that they were wrong, instead they double down on what is clearly stupidity. There was a point that doctors thought smoking was just fine. They admitted they were wrong and fixed it. If that were today, you'd have those same doctors recommending to smoke 3 packs a day.

Yeah, the livery could be better. Dark grey like the A350 concept would work better with standard type for the US AIR FORCE or alternatively a MATS heritage livery… -
The NTSB did an update to the crash investigation. It appears that the aft spherical bearing race was cracked in half at the grease groove which caused excessive movement of the aft pylon mount.

Naw man, I think those dudes got sick of opposing view points and retreated to their safe spaces. Or they created burner accounts because they identify as being pussies.

Looks like a war crime to me

If you think your unit (or larger organization) is fucked without you, you have been misled. Everyone is a replaceable cog, including every single black border pipe hitter. Take pride in the good things you accomplish in your career, work hard at what matters, but don’t think for a second you’re the lynch pin that holds the whole thing together - you’re not. Operate with that mentality and you’ll be much less stressed and happier.

My bad....he is FROM New York...which explains even more. In other news there is movement on Machine Guns.

I’m in a similar boat. At least I won’t be checking MyFSS 4x a day anymore! At least until Feb. Is anyone doing anything to prepare? As an RPA bro, I feel more prepared for UPT than IPT. I want to know more about the learning environment at IPT, compared to Doss (are the civilian CFIs trying to emulate mil flight training?) and how students’ experiences across the locations may be different.

That “Dr” went full waltz, you never go full waltz. the medical community is a laughing stock at this point. -
Your math checks. Crosschecked last year's PSDM for FY25 wirh 26 and it was to expect assignments as early as March last year and this year's states February. This tracks given our board was a month and a half earlier in the year. Just frustrating we got notified of selection relatively early with official release in the first week of Nov vs mid Nov as the stated tentative release. Now we're past 60 days potentially not getting assignments until 90 days. Passed my last checkride in the 9 yesterday so sitting with my hand hovering over the brain dump button awaiting an assignment.
-
Reading through the FY25 forum, assignments were loaded ~60 days after PSDM release; the earliest RNLTDs ranged from 1-3 months from then. Within a few days, people were reporting RNLTDs of 4-8 months after release (8 months seemed to be an outlier.) One person’s theory was that dates were being given based on order of merit (more competitive selects were given earlier dates) but this is not confirmed. If our timeline is similar, and assignments are loaded next month, I estimate the first RNLTDs in April-June, with some in July-September. Feel free to read through last year’s board and check my math.
