Because they offered a fixed wing slot to my buddy that got rotary, they are back filling the slot with people who put rotary #1

Had this happen to a friend of mine as well, they were notified Friday. Interestingly they put rotary wing pilot at 1 and CSO 2, got picked up for CSO but not UHT and turned down the slot. Commander got a call Friday that short-notice they could add her to the roster at Ft Novosel. Maybe whatever is going on at Laughlin isn't limited to just that base/fixed wing rated accessions.

Firstly, poor taste in photo choice, obviously. Secondly, the offer is par for the course across many presidential PACs that span R and D. Thirdly, this is a PAC, not the president directly - he had zero personal direction associated with wording or picture. Bottom line - whoever in the PAC made the photo choice is a dipshit, but the fake outrage directed directly at Trump is just that.

There aint enough cuss words to drive 98 everyday.

Don’t be silly dude, this is baseops.. disrespecting the troops only matters when left wing presidents do it

classy move🫡 CNBCTrump fundraising pitch features U.S. soldiers killed in...The email solicitation to benefit Trump’s PAC also offers donors “private national security briefings.”

I was driving on 98 heading to the base one day and some clown pulled out in front of me which prompted a response. A few seconds later my three years chimes in from the back seat...."Dad, what's a F@cking &sshole?"

That P-3 took it like a champ!

I try to watch my language in front of the grandkids

You'd previously linked this video about Starliner in the Tactical Tanker thread, also from Ellie in Space. I'm not much for YouTube, but I found her reports to be comprehensive yet concise, and very well constructed. That video focused on NASAs report of findings on the Starliner mission, released in February, including a lot of NASA head Jared Isaacman presenting the results. He's pulling from his memo to the entire NASA workforce published last month, worth a read here. The report itself is linked at the bottom of this NASA press release. 311 total pages, including 9 appendices, but a good Executive Summary on page 3-5. In short, just kind of an all around shitshow, with NASA and Boeing both being incredibly inept. Many echoes of Challenger and Columbia. One bright spot of the whole affair was Isaacman. I was skeptical of his appointment as NASA head. I'd previously figured you'd want a politician in that spot; someone who was adept at going to Congress and battling for money. Isaacman seems to be the leader NASA needs. Doing a lot of saying the quiet part out loud, even after only being in the position since December. Couple examples below. Both are from only the past couple weeks, which is exciting to me. After watching NASA falter for so long, are we finally witnessing some real change with the agency? Does NASA need more money? Isaacman: No, the answer isn't more money. We have enough money. We need to focus on the needle-moving objectives. Execute with urgency, in iterative and safe way, and empower the workforce and our partners to get the job done. Then this bit below, which deserves to be quoted in it's entirety. NASA Watch article with the comments, originally pulled from this post on X. This should sound familiar to anyone who's had even a passing association with a NASA program. Layers upon layers of outsourcing, with every associated company taking a skim off the top.

TLDR. 😁 Congratulations! Do we need to start calling you "doctor" around here now?

Not just cops

I’ll see y’all there!

Yeah that's for MFS. Me and my two buddies will be heading there at the end of the month.

Anyone get a projected training course “B3OZYMFS”? Is that for medical flight screening?

Actually I was referring to Russia. Sorry I wasn't clear. I was making the point how a country might feel backed into a corner and feel like they have no choice but to go on the attack.

Is Iran the Japan tho? Or is it China?
