Do you just get a kick out of posting really stupid shit to ensure your credibility remains at rock bottom?

Seriously. We need that "what the captain means" guy to be the press secretary for Trump! Love the fact that "The Captain" was actually a Colonel. Sidebar checklist complete. Back to the irrational ranting that will change nothing and only inflame the emotional state of the ranters.

Blockade on Iranian ports starts tomorrow. "What the President means is...."

I don't disagree with using our Navy to prevent the IRGC getting brand new Shaheeds and other goodies from Chinese ships (assuming we are stopping those ships).

Maybe you guys just got boring? Sorry, that was vague. You guys got boring. Negotiations don't matter if both sides don't leave the table at some point. It's not even certain Iran has a centralized enough government to negotiate anymore. Vance played the hand well. So far.

You do realize your inane circular logic and inability to employ critical thinking concerning ideas you don't like is one of the primary reasons this thread is the way is, right? Like a boomer complaining about how much the generation they raised and crafted sucks. The acoustics in your head must be breathtaking. Then again, this is the Iran Thread. None of this makes sense.

This Blockading maneuver stuff is getting both fugly and comical. IMHO, only those ships that pay to play will be given approval to safely pass through the Strait of Whoremus.

You know the situation is getting incoherent when the thread goes suddenly quiet aside from grandpa chain email memes and babylon bee links Everything’s going great guys 👌👌👌 trust the process

Donnie’s mad the Iranians aren’t giving him a cut of the tolls.

Apr 1: “The US imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won’t be taking any in the future. We don’t need it. We haven’t needed it, and we don’t need it.” Apr 5: “Open the F’in’ Strait you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell, JUST WATCH!” Apr 7: “subject to Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.” Apr 12: “Effective immediately, the US Navy, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. Any Iranian that fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!” 4D Chess guys. Stable genius. Concepts of a plan. 🤣😂😆 🤡

Not to say that they thought of everything... but they kinda thought of everything. Helps to have a Hog Driver running the design and implementation. There was "NO" way they were going to block the gunsight.

2 same. Was seeing the previous tile format. Agree with all of the above and now the fix much improved.

I've seen a couple of the prior C-146 guys make their way through the various FTUs at Altus. They're saying that AFSOC is downsizing, and in that process it's killing the U-28s and C-146. Granted, this is all second hand water cooler talk, so I'm sure some AFSOC dude can chime in and tell me how wrong I am.

whatever you did DFRESH fixed it...now back to a much better format...thank you! i was seeing the same thing gearhog had screenshotted. much better!

Wow, talk about Old School!

From the Article linked below: "The license allowed Iran to sell its sanctioned oil to help finance its war against the United States and its allies. And Iran was profiting handsomely off its sales, selling its oil for a premium of several dollars above the price of Brent crude, the international benchmark." Unless the article is completely false, it appears Iran has not been blocked from receiving funds for the sale of previously sanctioned oil that was stuck at sea. Why Trump is Threatening to Blockade a Strait that Iran is already Blockading

Hey now, we're ops!

When doubling down gets a new meaning: Note, I was also thinking of a "We heard you like blockades, so we blockaded your blockade. Now you can blockade while you get blockaded."

Second that notion. But the times change constantly. If your DO is worth his salt, he should be able to help read the terrain for you and give good advice. If not the DO, the ADOs should have an ok feel for it. Historically though, no. If you did an all flying 6-month deployment, the quantity of flying should show up in air medals and AAMs. The promotion boards are relatively good at recognizing work that's been put in.

His virtue signal turned around and bit him.

Okay. I found the problem. Somehow the default Theme got reset to that garbage that you screenshotted (is that a word). I've fixed that in the settings, and now everybody should be seeing something similar to the second screenshot that @gearhog posted. As to the above the fold vs below the fold discussion... I'm not trying to aggressively drive engagement. However, I think we should have a user-friendly design. I agree that I don't understand the difference between the Squadron Bar and the General Discussion subforums anymore. Let's be honest, almost every thread devolves into political name-calling. All of that said, I'm open to suggestions on how to streamline some of the subforums.
