The all-volunteer military has resulted in never-ending conflict. The price of war is low. The eternal trickle of military involvement feeds the military-industrial complex, which is chairman-ed by retired generals mostly who know best how to manipulate the machine into industrial profit. The country must devise some form of civic service. Otherwise we will continue to have elected leaders send our volunteer men and women to die in fights where the largest military force in the world has no business fighting.

FFS they better not get rid of the green bag. I wear the damn multicam deployed and I’ve spent enough time doing that shit. Can I please look like a pilot and not some Army wannabe in the name of “joint” when home, please?

I was told to expect to hear something first week or two of February

Hotel pen...clearly a solid airline pilot.

I know him. Pix sent

This thread is worthless without pics of aforementioned Swedish Bikini Team.

So people on here are advocating for slavery and more theft...great.

Because they're outerwear. That's no different then wearing the old nomex jacket. It has to due with STF rules for high speed ejections and getting the windblast under the pilots skirts.

The new AFPC Patch

Didn’t see in the original email where it said a 14 day opt instead of the normal 7 day opt? (Maybe I skimmed over it?) Either way, it’s one of the hidden land mines under this new system: ”providing as much as 11 months’ notice”...AFPC’s clever way to get you to show your cards that much sooner and bone you with a 180/365 as a parting gift.

It's been said over and over but there's simply no way to replace the inherent stress of the actual cockpit - heat, sweat, JP-8 exhaust, noise, G's, shitty radios, garbaged up comm, and on an on. And of course the knowledge that if you screw up you could wreck an actual machine or kill an actual person, including yourself. Simulation can certainly teach some skills, but you just can't replace the experience of being in an aircraft with all the external and internal stressors. Sure, you can safely fly an airplane with fewer hours but your experience bank will be that much smaller and you'll be a worse pilot for it. Bad bad idea. And it will be hailed as a great success.

It's that time again . May drill will be our next UPT board. The rushing window is officially open - Feb 23-25 and Mar 9-11 are upcoming drill dates for visits. April drill the squadron will be on the road shooting missiles at Tyndall so get your visits in soon. Resumes and coordination still go to 122fspilothiring@gmail.com C'mon down!

Every time this thread revives, I come back hoping they're going to allow us to wear black t-shirts and boots again.

Gents, As I sit here from my whiskey fueled perch, pondering the state of the nation, and pissed that the pats didn't lose, I'd like to ask your opinion. What if someone was to run for office on the following premise, accountability. "You all voted in to office people who got this business, our government and country, into mass debt, and continued war spending, monetary, and physical." (it's cumbersome wording, whatever, you get it, human cost) Those elected representatives (for the most part) have not served, their children do not serve, their peers do not serve, they do not know the cost of war. In order to get our country to be a solvent business, and our representatives to know what it costs, we're raising taxes, and starting a draft" ------------------------------- Point being Congress, POTUS, the cabinet, do not know what war costs. We all do. The majority of this country does not. They haven't had to pay for what their representatives are voting for, and their representatives definitely haven't felt the pressure of the consequences of their actions. Those officials absolutely haven't had consequences regarding their words, whether in public, twitter, whatever. If our leaders are affecting the route of this country, they should have some skin in the game, not just ratings. Just interested. Accountability. That's it. PS: If you're going to pick apart any minutiae of the above, don't waste your time. Think big picture.
