He'll be ok, he's still got some of the Taliban VSP money left.

Yes because we all know that more troops, more time, and more money will fix Afghanistan, just not this year.

I can't help but imagine that the commentary at the end was some quietly protesting sarcasm by the people who were forced to make that video. From about 1:30-1:45 the priceless audience reactions are being shown while the narrator says, "So far crowd reaction has been fabulous". Their faces say it all...

I think the F-15C is a far better candidate for cutting than the A-10. The exact same arguments being made to justify pulling the plug on the A-10 apply to the F-15C. It is old, it is not day 1 survivable, and is unabashedly single role, even more so than the A-10. The F-15C is also more expensive to operate than the A-10, and to top it off, the F-15C is not necessary for the kind of war we are currently fighting. I know the discussion is about future conflict and the F-15C loses there too. The big difference is there are already aircraft in the inventory that can fill the role the C model occupies.

I'll take "Things that won't dent the pilot retention problem" for $1000, Trebek..

Noticed the ACP link isn't on MyPers. Wonder if they've taken it down because they don't plan on offering the bonus this year. I mean, if you think about it...why should we have to pay pilots to stay in when they should be fueled by an inherent desire to serve and fly for the Air Force? /GC

Perhaps we should re-name this thread? "There are plenty of programs/platforms to cancel, list your favorite here."

There's actual evidence that trying to avoid and be protected against your "triggers" further perpetuates and reinforces their impact on your life. Turns out acknowledging it and learning how to deal is better. Who knew being a pussy, further perpetuated pussy behavior.

I might get crucified for this but... Cut the B-1, KC-10 and F-15. No need for a non-nuclear bomber, the KC-135 and soon KC-46 will cover AR and the F-16 and F-22 will cover A-A.

U model pilots go through an abbreviated syllabus at LR, then to Hurlburt where you'll do MQT with an entire crew of new guys, including new AC's, at the 19th. Afterwords you'll PCA to the 4th For W, no clue...they aren't a real gunship, so they go somewhere else Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
