Bussiere is a different cat, he was never up for CSAF. Worst kept secret was him being next VCSAF...it was a done deal. Maybe he had enough....maybe Trumps driveling speech about cardstock and paper weight probably pushed him over the edge.

Is he fat? Edit: He just lost the contest for CSAF. Or doesn't like the winner. Bleh. Also I wish they would stop acting like getting paid millions by joining a Defense Contractor for their military connections is somehow "finding new ways to support our Air Force, our national defense, and the incredible people." No speech required. Thank you for your service. Next.

After only 40 years of service, what a quitter!

I hope he doesn’t go after fat contractors Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Wilsbach officially nominated...god bless all of you on active duty. Rumor says he declined twice but was strong-armed into taking the job.

Would Stormin Norman Schwarzkopf be on the chopping block?

First one to punch out post meeting.

getting fired would be better

The gathering of the Juggalos.

In person is worse than Twitter / X. UF fraternities circa 2023 post Jordan Travis injury.

Having played college ball my limited experience was UF fans were the worst. Sorry @M2 you are like a brother but the things I saw back in the day. Anyway, FSU has now said hold my beer. Simply disgusting.

Look at this slob...those poor buttons.

The Navy has done command wide pt tests twice a year for damn near forever. It honestly was pretty easy, everyone counted for their partner and we all would run together. Took maybe 3 hours on some random morning. It’s actually a lot easier to coordinate than worrying about random dates throughout the year for each individual person.

When is Fat Tony retiring from USAFA?

So did anyone get fired from the big meeting? I was told there would be drama...

Standards for everyone set at the appropriate male-based levels for physically demanding jobs. What a novel concept. I’m OK with a separate PT test for the non-combat side, but if you’re in a combat job or may see combat because you get attached to a combat unit, you must perform at a higher physical level.

Let's see how many flag officers evaporate now that they have to pass the PT test twice a year 🤣😂. It's so refreshing to have someone in charge of the Department of Murdering Foreigners say out loud that fat people are gross and shouldn't be in the military. Pete just won some points in my book.

This. Unless it's the R-9X Ginsu variant, which is kinetic, but we would see the blades out in that video.

15-20k is one hour of C-17 flight time also. Obviously not the intended receiver, but again really not that much.

If it was a Hellfire, shouldn't it have detonated?

"Drones over Denmark" sounds like the name of an Outkast song.

I get it and I don’t know what an E-190 or 175 tanker would actually be able to offload at 690 NM from launch, just a guess it would be better than that Another point, just because a tactical tanker regardless of what platform it is or would be derived from might look like a small version of an existing big wing doesn’t mean it should be planned for just as a small version of it That is it might be better optimized for UCAS AR, adhoc small AR as the ATO is executed and fallout ARs happen, post launch / pre recovery immediate top offs after said fighters get to ingress altitude, etc… Yeah that’s just some conjecture but I think we got to start to imagine different conops Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A 15-20K offload is not “a lot of capability.” It’s a partial offload to one F-15E with external tanks.

ISU-80/90s are not able to be loaded on a MRTT due to their height (taller than the cargo holds). Pallets compatibility is important due to AE’s using PSPs that are the same dimensions of a 463L pallet.

The Romeo and the Lima 7 have both downed aircraft in the 100-300 knot threshold. Some rather recently, and the Lima is still using the gas based control system vs the Romeo with the fully electric articulation of its control surfaces. Against a dynamically maneuvering target it’s probably got no terminal endgame just with how small a control surface it has for the missile mass, but against something with predictable pro nav it can handle cross ranging velocities a lot higher than anybody expected.
