Please dont give that lady any ideas. No Dibs

Lesson learned, especially as a newbie (not even a SNAP), never miss an opportunity to keep your mouth shut. Everyone wants to be a youtube star...I even have a small channel with some flying videos, but dude you don't even know what you don't know. If you truly want to be a military pilot, go all in on that task. Don't divert your attention with podcast thought pieces. Every year 4 million men and women turn 18 in the United States...a substantial number of those have at least dreamed of being a USAF pilot. USAF picks between 1200-1400 to enter UPT each year....the odds are against you so don't distract yourself with trivial BS. If you want internet fame, start an OnlyFans, if you want to be a USAF pilot get to work and focus on that task.

She is an absolute garbage human being. I hope never getting another professional job again is the best thing that happens to her. She deserves the worst.

dude you talk/write too much

Do both... Pretty sure an Only"Fans" account that just posts gratuitous close up photos of C-130 engines covered in leaking oil and hydraulic fluid would make you a millionaire overnight just from @M2's secret combat pornography budget

They turn you into a missileer in which you spend the remainder of your ADSC telling everyone you didn't want to be a pilot anyways. And even though you think flying is lame, you could have flown fighters if you wanted to.

I went through the fixed wing course right out of basic training. FW class 69-23 (1969) Ft Wolters for a month, then on to Ft Stewart (GA) for 4 months, and finally Ft Rucker for the last 4 months. We had no air-conditioning although a giant swamp cooler was installed at the multi-story housing unit at Stewart, it was never turned on, even in August. I purchased a 6000btu 110v industrial air conditioner before heading to Nam. I lined my hooch with Styrofoam from rocket boxes and sealed the walls with purloined plywood. I had air-conditioning in Nam!

Good video from Ward Carrol about the projected retirement of the A-10 and its effects on pilot training and GFM.

I remember when they talked about retiring the A10 when I was in college..I looked it up on AltaVista.

There’s always OnlyFans. The same people telling me it’s ok to make fun of Texans seem to be the same people telling me that sex work is real work, so she should be all set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

this. our government really is a uni-party run by corrupt money, sex, and thirst for power.

$788,000. It's quite rural, halfway between Blue Lake and Willow Creek. There is not a lot of industry there which is why I believe the price was "relatively" low. Last week my realtor who assisted with the purchase told me 160 acres adjacent to our property went up for sale and asked if I was interested. I told her I obviously was, but cannot justify it now as I need to rapidly pay down the property because at 6.99%, interest is pretty insane. Purchase price for that was $375,000 if I recall with owner financing available at 10 years, 8%, with $75,000 down. Maybe one day, I just don't want to be working forever. I'd love to sell our home in San Diego and move up there full time and homestead, just not sure the wife is there yet. 😆

While I don't believe them for a second, if this is the path they're going to choose, so be it. In that case, I'd like the investigation on Jeffrey Epstein to pivot to the question of: Where the fuck did he get all that money? That always seems to be lost in the breathless discussion about supposed "lists." Dude was a former teacher who pivoted to finance, and by all accounts, was pretty lousy at it. But somehow, he amassed a fortune north of a half billion dollars, to include properties all over the globe. It's pretty clear he didn't get this money from legitimate financial trading. There is strong evidence that he had financial backing from someone or some entity. Where did he get he money? Who bankrolled Epstein? To what end? Those are the questions I'd like answered.

The swamp is deep, that list would have destroyed both sides. It really sucks they are going to get away with it.

Nope. I understand, and share, many of Elon’s frustrations. But, a 3rd party isn’t going to solve those issues. Fundamental change has to occur amongst the voter population to generate meaningful change for the primary thing Elon is most pissed off about - the deficit. Until that happens (likely only when voters’ hands are forced), congress will do nothing meaningful to significantly impact that issue, regardless of party affiliation.

This!

There'll be a lot of dated info around here, but in general it depends on the circumstances of how you depart UPT. If you DOR (request your way out) you likely have a better chance of getting the job you want vs if you get washed out. I've known guys who DOR'd, got washed out, and even dudes that got FEB'd later in their careers and departed the flying world. Some became JAGs, missileers, and acquisitions officers. I would not go into UPT focused on what happens if you fail. If you genuinely don't like it, then you can quit and the world won't come to and end. If you try and hedge by quitting before you get washed out...well...don't do that. You won't be in a good position to judge just how well or poorly you're doing. Hang tough on this topic for a week or two and let those who are currently IPs in the training system chime in. They have busy lives and can't always get to the page immediately, but they will show up.

Congressional Pork is probably the 1st rail.

Weak*

Isn't it statistically curious how 99% of the people who identify as queer are unfuckable?

SOOOO much irony!

Maybe the Persian culture, but hard to say the overall Islamic culture fits that description...what with all the coups, regime changes, and civil wars in the region (Arab spring, ISIS, etc). But, over all I agree with your sentiment. And Iran has arguably the most progressive society/culture out of all the problem spots in the region. They were very westernized pre-1979 and actually have an education and infrastructure so out of all the shit holes in the world they would be the most primed to accept a democracy and make it work.

With most of these idiots, Trump could speak in favor of Hamas, Mullahs, or cute fuzzy puppies and the useful idiots would protest against Hamas, Mullahs, or cute fuzzy puppies. They are just anti-Trump.

I talked to Matt's father on Wednesday. They knew what the sentence would be and were ready for it to be over with so this Stephenson could get on with spending the rest of his miserable days behind bars and the family could get some closure and move on with their lives. Watching the Denver7 video was especially difficult, they have video of Matt with his kids walking through the local fair, a giant smile on his face. 10 minutes later their lives would change forever. The Douche who killed him had a chance to speak at the sentencing, he decided to complain he didn't have a fair trial and showed no remorse for driving with a BAC 3 times the legal limit. Matt's father was also an Air Force Pilot and he commented on the generosity of the USAF family which raised $169,795 for Matt's family through GoFundMe. Finally, a special thanks to @Sua Sponte who provided a very special item to Matt's family, thanks to him his children we be able to hear their father's voice for years to come. I hope this serves as a reminder to all, nothing is guaranteed. Call your mom, call you dad, never miss a chance to tell your loved ones that you care. RIP Matt, you will be missed and as long as I am around, you will be remembered.

Someone else recommended this on another thread. Great series. Could get VERY sporty if Taiwan kicks off. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/to-catch-a-thief-chinas-rise-to-cyber-supremacy/id1798267956
