Guys... First rule of not falling for internet nonsense. Always ask why the camera was rolling recording in the first place, and who was doing the recording. Within the first 3 seconds of the video there are onlookers shouting, a horn blaring, and a vehicle accelerating into another vehicle. Whatever led up to this video, it wasn't just a woman driving to work when an ice vehicle just smashed into her car and arrested her. Also, am I the only person who would just get out of the car if a mini SWAT team surrounded my vehicle?

From my memory the IPT locations are: Texas, Pensacola, Arizona, UND, & Atlanta It’s suppose to take around 5 months I believe based on one of my buddies who just went through. As far as the assignments and etc, within a month based on what people who’ve gotten selected before me experienced.
-
Volley of questions here. I know this has been said before, but what are the known IPT locations? How long is it supposed to take? Where/when can we expect to see assignments / RNLTDs loaded?

I’ve done (forced) cop-led active shooter drills with everyone using their M9 (and pointing at each other per instructor direction). Yes they were 2-person checked unloaded, but I still felt it was a dumb idea. We’re not talking highly trained shooters, we’re talking mostly run-of-the-mill shoe clerks. Only two of us in the group had firearms experience beyond basic AF training.

It’ll be bad for America, not just NYC. Cancer spreads, don’t let it take hold anywhere.

The video is pretty disturbing, although it would be nice to know what happened in the 6-9 seconds before the video started. It appears to be an absurd amount of force being used. Do all the agents really need their guns drawn? Unless she was suspected of some violent crime, then these guys should be retrained in the proper use of force. Police, to include ICE, FBI, ATF, etc, need to understand that they are public servants, just like the military. Any policeman that is so scared that he feels like he needs to be the 5th guy to draw a gun on a small single female is in the wrong line of work. That being said, if she was actually the one instigating and either hit or positioned her vehicle to impede the operation (again, previous 6-9 seconds would be nice to see), then their actions would be a little more justified. I'm guessing that the truth is somewhere in the middle as it usually is. If ICE was entirely at fault, there would be dozens of lawyers lined up at her door. She probably either hit the van or was being aggressive with her vehicle and the ICE leadership likely realized that they used excessive force so they didn't pursue charges. But given the district that the events occurred in, it is entirely possible that the DA dropped the charges for political purposes even if she was 100% at fault.

I know very little about him besides the recent uniform focus shenanigans. What are his negatives?

That’s been a common issue with the Android app. Embedded YouTube links usually don’t render due to how the app handles iframe content. Watching through the browser fixes it for now. The crash when switching tabs is likely from a cache bug, clearing the app data helps until they release an update.

That’s a known issue with the mobile app. The images don’t render correctly when uploaded through certain browsers or older app versions. Try viewing the same thread in Safari or Chrome instead of the app—it usually loads fine there until they patch it.

Ran into this situation during our PCS. The housing office mostly cared about whether the letter came from a real provider who actually evaluated the case. I went through Wellness Wag because they did the clinical review part without the long wait. After that, they asked for a behavior check. If your dog is laid back, that usually goes smoother in person than on the form. Changing the listed breed rarely works. Showing the dog is safe and trainable works better.

Yeah, it happens when the admin forgets to renew the SSL certificate. It usually gets fixed once they update it through their hosting or certificate provider. If you still see warnings, clearing the browser cache or waiting a day after renewal helps too.

There isn’t a true “mute” option for users here. The best you can do is use the ignore feature in your account settings. It hides posts and messages from specific users, but you’ll still see their quoted replies in other posts. Not perfect, but it helps clean up threads a bit.

Yeah, it’s been rough lately. The ads stack on top of each other and slow everything down. I started using an ad blocker just to make the forum usable again. Makes a huge difference if you haven’t tried it yet.

Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training

Here's a funny. I don't think I could fool anyone I'm a bot but I asked Chat GPT the other day a random question about the B-21. I have no insight and I'm certainly not wanting anyone to reveal anything they shouldn't but when I asked it how many LRSOs could be loaded on a B-21 it calculated just over 6 (of course you can't load a partial missile) based on open-source information and some assumptions base on known dimensions of the things like the ALCM etc. How accurate the calculation turns out to be remains to be seen. -
This stupid shit was going on decades ago when I first enlisted. Sky cops would routinely shoot each other playing "quick draw" with their duty pistols at ECPs. Nothing more dangerous than a bored military cop with a firearm...

Socialism is merely a stepping stone to communism, Marx said that (paraphrasing). Yeah they’re technically different in some ways, but they’re also very intertwined. Frankly who gives a shit, they’re both bad - people try to use the technical distinctions as a “look how smart I am/dumb you are,” but reality is they’re not that smart and “you” aren’t that dumb. Bottom line - both bad, capitalism better (despite the problems that capitalism has), history has proven that for 100% of the earth’s existence since these systems originated.

So failure to adhere to one of the most basic gun safety principles. You can’t fix stupid.

Have you listened to Mamdani? "communist" isn't far off the mark. Communism is to socialism what nirvana is to Buddhism.
-
Its called Type 2 TDS, where Trump's kind of deranged thoughts/words/posts are mimicked. His CBS interview, they asked him about Mamdani, Trump called him a commie, interviewer corrected him that Mamdani is a socialist democrat, he just reiterated, Communist, don't argue.
-
I'm not sure that either comparison is good. I know that some people on the right do the "everyone I don't agree with is a communist" thing as well. It just gets tired hearing those words (fascist, communist) tossed around by people who don't know what they mean.

ADMIN NOTE: Thanks, I wasn't tracking until you mentioned it; then I looked at his posts and all followed the same style. I admit I use AI to grab info, but all of his responses look like they are completely AI generated. lilyelliott4, your account is locked. PM me if you aren't a bot and I will consider unlocking it. Otherwise, it'll be deleted shortly. p.s., I also removed the Thai fitness webpage link. Sorry guys, but there wasn't anything interesting on there! I had to check for the good of BaseOps! 😁😁
