Liberals so triggered they actually got those illegals out of Martha Vineyard faster than we got to our people in Benghazi.

Two of the acquired jets were involved in the Iraq nuclear raid. Those are legendary. Raid on the Sun, title of a good book about the mission.

At least he didn't shit his pants this time.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune at UPT, and correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t you just walk away at this point-no commitments? I’m sure you are plenty disappointed and feel you’d still like to serve somewhere. However, there is no greater dead end street than a C-130H Nav. It’s like being a VHS tape player salesman or something. The H’s are going away as fast as Lockheed can spit out J’s and all the Navs are trying to get their civilian ratings and get to an airline. If I were in your shoes, and Uncle Sam was cutting me loose, I’d go get civilian flight training and race your buds from UPT right to the same job at Delta, or whatever. Best of luck.

Just to answer the LASIK question: 6 months post-op prior to attending the IFC1, and 12 months post-op if it was a hyperopic treatment. Additionally, you need to meet pre-op conditions of what I’ve copied below directly from the waiver (really just a formality if you had no issues). Initial Flying Class (IFC I/IA/II/III/RPA Pilot) or Special Operational Duty: Pre-Operative cycloplegic refraction cannot exceed +3.00 to -8.00 in ANY meridian and cannot exceed 3.00 diopters of astigmatism with a good outcome to be non-disqualifying for all flying classes. Pre-Operative cycloplegic refraction greater than +3.00 and less than or equal to +5.00 or greater than -8.00 and less than or equal to -10.00 in ANY meridian or greater than 3.00 and less than or equal to 6.00 diopters of astigmatism is DISQUALIFYING for all flying classes and may be considered for a waiver on a case-by-case basis. Astigmatism greater than 5.00 diopters will not be waived for accession/commissioning. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Just in time for the election - yay!

Props for not giving up on getting your wings. I've just been applying for the last year or so, I'll offer my input. From what I've been told from squadrons I've been rushing, it's been very competitive, esp after COVID. With the number of applications they get, a lot will do a hard cutoff for scores, specifically Pilot and PCSM. I don't know about the old/new scoring system, but try to get a printout of the higher version. The most recent heavy unit I applied to, the POC said they had so many applications they ended up only looking at people with both PCSM and Pilot over 90. Also keep all the paperwork and stuff from your LASIK just in case, I believe there's some sort of period after you get LASIK (6months to 12 months?) to make sure it's all good. You're still young and well below the age limit so just keep applying and building time.

Dude. Find those slides!!! If the 'men' I currently fly with are able obtain a FC1 at their age...with 'her slides'...i'll be amazingly able to fly at the age of 82 by the time I'm able to retire because of the amazing work of 'women/men/things/amorphous.animate.objects' such as her...

Sad day at Reno. Him Him 🥃
