3rd year NB FO. Worked 88 days this year and flew 559 hours. I grossed $169k. Good luck Air Force!

Agree to disagree...having led a 13 person crew in combat, when it is working properly the crew construct can accomplish FAR more especially in a dynamic and often confusing situation. On more than one occasion I've seen a non-verbals completely change an engagement. I've also seen having another set of eyes and ears stop a potentially very bad situation from happening.

A few points to ponder: 1. It is NOT a foregone conclusion that the Russians hacked anything. Shockingly the mainstream media is starting to push back on the administration narrative that it was the Russians...technically things don't add up and a lot of insiders have been not so quietly questioning the recently released report. I don;t give a lot of value to wikileaks statements but they do deny getting information from the Russians. There are also reports, suggesting it was a disgruntled DNC insider, I absolutely agree we need a bipartisan investigation to help shed some light on what happened. 2. I don't think anyone wants a foreign power hacking our "stuff" but it is EXTREMELY ironic that you are more upset about external criminal action that the fact that the DNC rigged the election. Truly that should be the story of the year, the DNC under Wasserman Schultz fixed the primaries in order to secure the election of a chosen candidate rather than the will of the people. 3. Where do you draw your foreign influence line in the sand? When expressing outrage that another nation might have tried to shape our election how do you response to Obama less covertly tried to hack the Israeli election, not just with words, but with a LOT of money and behind the scenes action. 4. I also find it extremely ironic that liberals are convinced the Russians hacked the DNC emails and are equally convinced there is no possibility they could have hacked HRC's bathroom server. Truly UNREAL! 5. We have been in a cyber war for years and expressing outrage over what might have happened seems to ignore the likely fact that we have done the SAME thing to many other adversaries...

Sometimes, it speeds it up too much. The point is to make correct decisions, not just fast ones.

Some great tweets out about that. "ISIS claims responsibility for Maria Carey performance."

Yes, the Porkins Package is a factory option, but it cuts into the useful payload.

The will of the people doesn't factor in to it. The DNC (and RNC) are private organizations that can do whatever they like. If people don't like how they act I suggest they quit supporting their candidates (no, seriously, please do).

But how would they be able to non-vol you to a 365? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

New year, same problem... https://www.breitbart.com/texas/2016/12/31/breaking-cartel-gunmen-fire-border-patrol-agent-arizona/ Build the walls, fences, security systems, expand CBP/ICE, deploy the Guard (Army/Air) permanently to secure the large open areas not physically blocked. If it takes a lot of money, so be it, if it keeps a POS like this guy out: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/mexican-man-charged-rape-19-deportations-removals-44472938 It's worth it.

I'm exactly as OK with that as I am with HRC's. That is to say, I absolutely don't want a foreign power subverting our networks, but I do appreciate the value of unvarnished information. Everything about modern political candidates is fake/staged/analyzed/brainstormed/etc... Given that our media is complicit in crafting the desired image, I appreciate getting a peek behind the curtain. Perhaps if our politicians had to hold themselves to a higher standard in private, we'd see a higher standard of politicians in public.

Again, Dem, don't play try playing the red/blue piece here. I didn't say I was ok with the action of hacking; I said I don't think we should be taking escalatory/retaliatory action on hacking a political party with their tail between their legs. Foreign powers are more inside the political parties with their purse strings than with their computers. The harm here is superficial. It's not actual secrets, nor actual government infrastructure, nor commercial espionage.

My decision to leave just keeps getting easier and easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In no way will they let this benefit us. But that would be a nice incentive! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Does it come with a sweet Rebel Alliance flightsuit and helmet like the guy in the back is wearing?
