Hey everyone, please take what I’m about to say with the smallest piece of a grain of salt. I have a buddy who got picked up for officer training school and is there right now and graduates in a few weeks. When he got picked up, he got selected for RPA even though his number one was manned Pilot. He sent me a message this morning and said that he was just offered a Pilot slot and he took it in ots. I’ve heard of something happening like this before a few years ago, but it was super rare. I asked him how this happened and that I was super happy for him and he said that him and nine other people were pulled into a room with the commandant and the commandant informed them that the Air Force needs 150 more pilots and that he’s giving them the opportunity to switch from the job that they currently have to Pilot. With that being said, I don’t know that it would affect any alternates that may have been selected for this board, but if the Air Force exhausts all of its pipelines for training that could be an opportunity for more people to get picked up if they were an alternate and that’s just my assumption. This is not based on anything official.

New Vance AFB "What-A-Rigger" patch from the AFE Parachute Shop. Big news for Enid when the chain arrived this past year.

A recent T-38 class patch from Vance.

The last T-1A class patch, Vance.

Follow-up on no AMEL rumors (for the nerds like me who care about an FAA rating lol): After talking to a buddy at Denton IPT, there's a hard cutoff after which students have to return to their UPT base. If maintenance/weather prevents planes from flying and students can't get the last checkride in they aren't penalized, they'll just have to leave IPT without that last rating. Also, if you're lucky enough to know your IPT base you can get the welcome packet for your 141 school from the ETCA CAC-site.

We lost a load of F-4's also. It was not a mx friendly airplane.

Iran lost an F-4 today during workup to attack Israel and U.S. Forces. Reports indicate the pilot who was the commander of the training squadron was killed, his WSO was wounded but survived. In other news, Iran rejected the "deal" today...its going to get sporty. God speed to all our folks downrange.

The mid-terms are shaping up to be a battle of the ick. Trump continues to run his mouth and say $hitty things, the Dems continue to actually do $hitty things. Look no further than New York City with new mayor Mamdani and his road to ruin in NYC. Promised to end sweeps of homeless camps, broke that promise less than 60 days in and restarted sweeps today. Published his $127 billion budget for its 8.4 million residents. In contrast, the entire state of Florida, with a population roughly three times larger (approx. 23 million), is considering a budget of around $113.6 to $115 billion. His budget has some interesting items and actions. a. $5.6M and $4.6M for racial equity programs. b. $835K for gender equity initiatives. c. Up to a 9.5% property tax hike. d. Cancelling the hiring of 5,000 police officers. e. $1 billion plan to establish a new Department of Community Safety. f. Withdrawing $229 million from this fund in fiscal year 2027. (64% of NYC teachers voted for him 🤣). g. Withdrawing $980 million from the city's rainy day fund. Ordering lots of popcorn to watch NYC turn into an even bigger crap hole.

There have been at least 32 driving-related arrests/citations involving the Georgia football program since January 2023... Take the damn car keys away, already! 🤦‍♂️

Got my RIP for Vance, IPT in November (requested later date). No info on IPT location.

War on the RocksChina Now Finds Itself in al-Qaeda’s CrosshairsCould China replace the United States atop the target list of transnational jihadist groups like al-Qaeda? A recent statement released by Sheikh Saad binWelcome to the club

Glad to hear we have a strong OPSEC program.

Just watched that last night. Hadn’t seen it in probably 40 years. I believe his first feature film was To Kill a Mockingbird.

Lots of guys asking questions about short notice non-vol orders on the Delta Mil FB page over the last week or so.

re: Mamdani and NYC Yes, in some ways NY is getting their just deserts, but it's also sad to see, as NY is a great city that much of my family hails from. While some in NY are getting what they deserve, others are merely collateral damage and serve as useful targets in the Left's quest to achieve a communist utopia. I'm mostly just tired of misanthropes running the world, but hey, there's nothing new under the sun.

Picked up my dream pistol, 1943 Remington Rand M1911A1, all parts are correct. This pistol was never overhauled or passed through the CMP. The holster is from 1918, has an unlegable name and service number written in pencil on it. I purchased that separately years back.

I’m not surprised. They work fast.

Replace USA with. ‘MERICA! That would troll tons of officials
