Squadron Bar
Off-topic discussion. Keep it civil, don't abuse this forum.
1 – Keep it civil
If you don't have anything constructive to say, keep your mouth shut. Opinions are great, constructive criticism is encouraged, third grade retorts are right out. Threads that devolve into pissing contents will be locked. If your post starts to drag a thread in that direction, it will be removed. If you continue to instigate, you may face suspension of your posting abilities.
2 - Listen before you speak
A wise man once said, "You have two ears and one mouth, so you ought to listen twice as much as you talk."
Fighter squadrons have a rule that you can’t speak until you’ve had been there a year, and there's some wisdom to this; don't just show up here spouting your wisdom to dudes who are not only veterans to this board, but veterans to the Air Force. Hang out a while, read the posts, and be a fly on the wall. You'll see who's legit and who is generally clueless. This will prevent you from a severe case in foot-in-mouth-itis when you try to tell a combat proven pilot that he knows nothing while you sit at home waiting to see if your UPT package has been approved.
3 – UTFSF
Before you ask a dumb question, make sure it hasn’t been asked and answered – use the search function at the top right of each page.
4 - If it's been talked about before, keep it in the same thread.
After you follow Rule 3 but don't find exactly what you're looking for, revive one of the old threads instead of starting a brand new one. In other words, if you're trying to find information on housing at Del Rio and you find lots of old posts with Del Rio info, but nothing specifically answers your question - post your question at the end of one of those threads. This makes it easier for future searches so that 690 threads don't pop up when they try to search for "Del Rio Housing"
5 - Give it a subject line that makes sense
This seems anal, but there are several reasons. (1) If you have a nebulous subject like "Serious question" you're potentially not going to get answers from as many people as if your subject line was "Where to find Jeremiah Weed?" (2) It makes it easier for serious searches; the poor sap who types "SERE" into the search function will have a much easier time with specific subjects like "What do I bring to SERE?" vice just "SERE".
6 – No unpaid advertisements
Unpaid advertisements and promotion of outside websites are not allowed. Individual items are allowed to be sold in the “Market Place” forum within in accordance with the rules of that forum. For questions on paid advertising on this board, use the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of each page.

I’d like to enlist forum-member’s help in locating any pilot(s) who might have flown the Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker, either in the US or otherwise. I have a very unique opportunity for the right person. If you know an FAA–licensed pilot who speaks English and has recent, verifiable pilot time in the Flanker, please have them contact me at SemperExcelsius27 (at) gmail.com. Although I appreciate the skill needed to fly flight sims, I don’t prefer to hear from anyone whose experience is virtual rather than real. Thanks in advance.

So I watched a Zeihan video today on India in a post American led world… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41AEoEkgDm0 and I concur with Zeihan that India is not exactly a friend, not an enemy, my description would be a shrewd business associate occasionally. I listened to 2034 WW3 novel by Ackerman and Stavridis about a year ago and India plays a role there again not exactly friend or foe, just a techno war novel but seems like the policy makers and works see this also, India is not the next great ally we hoped for to balance against China. If this is so, is engagement (arms sales, exercises, security agreements, etc) long term a bad idea. Should…

Yuri Gagarin was the first human being in space. There is an hour and forty minute video on youtube that took archival recordings and combined it with footage from the ISS. I haven't watched the video yet, but the description given by Fox News makes it sound intriguing. Fox News Article https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJuIO6kp5jY

If crapping in the streets of San Francisco, rampant crime and extreme taxes were not enough to show you what a mess California is...look at Sheetz v. County of El Dorado. In short - a gentleman purchased a piece of land and wanted to build an 1800' home. The City of El Dorado approved the build but dropped a $23,000 "Traffic" impact fee on him. He fought it all the way to the Supreme Court which rules unanimously in his favor. The California Appeals Court has decided the Supreme Court does not apply to them and reaffirmed their original ruling.
