Oh all his critics on the media and political circles are beside themselves. Nevermind they loved Obama swearing a couple weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotcha would need to be a new additive program I could see this as part of a new way forward if the AF wasn’t hell bent on divesting everything but the T-7 and outsourcing basic flight instruction Mil IPs, standardized instruction not at existing UPT bases, make it a Total Force program, AD with Guard/Reserves, 3 x bases at desirable locations, Golden Apple tours for retention, good long tour orders to get ARC support, better GA training aircraft, etc… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So fucking true. Anything but the Stars and Stripes in their playbook.

That is correct kind sir. Dibs!

This seems like the appropriate thread for this.

Vance enlisted dorm life is living large.

That’s what we had with Doss at KPUB and the IFS program from late 2000s until 2017 ish. Program remained but transitioned from a screening to a training program. Studs that had a PPL were exempt. It was an introduction to UPT, BF/Ops limits, standup, similar syllabus structure, the GTIMS program, etc. Handful of green suit cadre and a lot of contract IPs, most did not have a mil back ground but training/teaching was standardized. It sucked going through as a stud, but later in life as a UPT IP having classes that had some of the studs go through that program seemed to have helped the transition to the T-6 flight line. Dual qual IP. Just no. Airspace around UPT is way to congested, last thing they need is a fleet of slow bug smashers mixed in with T-6s (with clueless studs) and T-38s. Also, you would significantly need more manning, I believe most T-6 squadrons are manned around 100% or so, having recently left, we were still very busy and stretched thin. Last thing I would have wanted was another airplane to keep up currencies, GK, and another syllabus on top of the 3 (just in the T-6) we currently had.

“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.” Trump Might be his best moment. 3:13 PS. The Drudge headline says he went "Berserk" which is a stupid description.

Ruminated on jetip’s post some, not sure if this has been discussed here on this thread but if the pre T-6 phase, really a flight screening phase, were done by AF IPs, in the same way as T-6s are taught (standardized) would that have the intended effect? That effect being higher degree of knowledge, skill and ability to adapt and master a higher performance aircraft and flight maneuvers? What if the T-6 assignment meant dual qual for the IPs? They would fly/instruct in both the T-6 and whatever GA aircraft was flown? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think he got lucky.

Not an extension, the standard is 4.5" but they also make a 6", 6.5", 8" and 16" variants. The 8" is much harder to find but fits me better. Shhh....don't tell my wife.

5 more waves of rockets since the previous post. Now per the cease fire rules, Israel has 12 hours to strike Iran without Iran retribution. Should be interesting.

Iranian's smoked an apt complex right before cease fire is to take effect....

That is fucking sexy. Don't know if it's 1900 bucks sexy but damn.

"Suck on my red, white, and blue DICK!" Last time American troops we're under the same threat it ended a bit differently.

Ooooffff. Assuming the standard AF=CIV+4 correction formula…hard pass on a 3. Definitely a pass if federal pound me in the ass prison is a factor.

Jesus that's a good looking gun. Is there a barrel extension on that?

At least the Airmen and Soldiers at the Deid are in good spirits..."Fireball, BITCH!"

How else do you define a "symbolic" attack? That's *exactly* what this was, which is exactly what professor numb nuts was calling for. An off ramp.

Replace hope with expect, and it conveys what most intelligent people knew would happen. Hard to tell if he hoped for American deaths or just knew that this was likely the most expeditious path to peace, knowing that Iran leaders would need to save face. I'm no fan of the anti-American sentiment on college campuses, just not sure this dude actually wished ill will towards Americans.

There is a difference between knowing and evacuating a base with a prearranged attack that is clearly an off-ramp and some clown openly calling for an attack on a U.S. base...symbolic or not.

Fortunately the president doesn't share your views on international relations. Symbolic acts are just a reality of asymmetric warfare. Pearl clutching when someone discusses it openly only makes the dialog dumber AMD less valuable.

Calling for an attack on a U.S. base is never overblown.

"ceasefire" this early is a mistake I think. Will be interesting.
