That doesn’t directly reflect on your ability to be a good pilot, just the unique pressures and requirements of flying fighters isn’t your thing, and that’s OK. I’ve recommended to leadership twice in my career an individual needs to stop flying fighters, and they were removed without FEB (post-MQT mind you). They’re doing fine, including one flying for a major. I’ve flown with a lot of pilots (either outside the AF or as an observer in their mil aircraft) who are great pilots, and also with fighter pilots who would die in a GA airplane if I wasn’t with them. The aircraft type you fly doesn’t immediately define the quality of pilot you are (good or bad).

If he wasn’t the politician he is, he’d be in a home, probably nearing hospice. Its insane people have propped that guy up to be the President. Its absolutely humiliating, for him and the country at large.

No more TIB so....

There’s nothing to hide honestly. It’s just your pride that’s hurt no one else will care or look at you like a second class citizen. You gave it your best shot and it didn’t work out! No harm no foul…you’ll look back in 5-10 years and be amazed at how everything played out for the best. and you’re gonna be a great mentor/resource down the road for future young guys who struggle. Just be honest and it won’t get weird. The times I’ve looked at guys sideways are when guys try to pretend they were something they aren’t.

It was a little harder getting ATIS in the Huey single pilot. We were so slow, it'd change several times from the time I was 7 miles out to touch down. So much ATIS. I have nightmares about it.

Yep, even my gay friends don’t like drag, and are very against it being in front of children. The pride movement is fucked up…maybe it had altruistic beginnings simply trying to gain same legal rights for same-sex married couples, but it has morphed into an evil, devoid-of-values sideshow. We don’t allow strippers on Main Street, nor should we allow this bullshit on Main Street. Do what you want in a windowless building with controlled/age-limited access, e.g. every strip club. I also don’t understand the “need” to cover yourself in pride paraphernalia…I don’t care who you love or bang, why do you need to shove it in everyone’s face? Maybe we should start a blue/pink themed movement that celebrates dudes banging chicks. I’m sure DAL will love to let me wear a blue/pink striped lanyard that represents my love for women and fucking them, especially during heterosexual pride month.

Me reading that article in a GCS…

Pfft, forced to do the same with my enlisted girlfriends...you don't see me asking for a celebration month for my persecution!

Let this be a lesson to you young punks who still think they care about you. This is what high level leadership thinks of you. They don't care enough to roll out a bonus before the 9th month of the FY. Make your decisions accordingly.

“Aight… imma head out”

Eagle dudes are pretty upset.

I've seen a late rated, fighter wash, make command, but is good people and made sense. Remember, piloting comes 2nd (or 12th) in the AF.

There are plenty of fighter wash outs doing good work in global strike and carrying far more weapons and gas than they would have had in fighters🤫🤫. Seen dudes move on to squadron command, TPS, WIC, you name it. A solid attitude and work ethic will serve you well no matter where you end up.

An AI-powered drone tried to attack its human operator in a US military simulation Speaking at a conference last week in London, Col. Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton, head of the US Air Force's AI Test and Operations, warned that AI-enabled technology can behave in unpredictable and dangerous ways... "The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat," Hamilton said at the May 24 event, "at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective." According to Hamilton, the drone was then programmed with an explicit directive: "Hey don't kill the operator — that's bad." It didn't work. "So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target," Hamilton said.

boy have you said a mouthful. Like I've said before...Tumon Bay was my Vietnam... 😄

Yeah the pedos/homos/trans are just different delusional clowns in the same insane alphabet circus/freakshow. Nothing beneficial to the individual or to society when encouraged. Should be discouraged just like all bad decisions.

A month from death (after 3 years of fighting cancer) my dad looked better than that, no shit. I wonder what the hell they put in him to get him through public appearances (check out his ludicrously dilated pupils during many speaking engagements).

Gave the G43 to the wife for full time carry and picked up a G48 for $445 blue label and $200 for a JG trigger. $645 for a pistol with a glass rod break trigger and shooting tight cloverleafs with range ammo is unbeatable. Very happy with the new “summer carry” pistol.

Legos I wouldn't mind finding on the bedroom floor

Washed out of IFF, went to B-1s, then was TAMIed to AFSOC. I did all right for myself. Keep your chin up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow. That deescalated quickly. @HuggyU2 , I doubt he was talking to your generation anyway. We all really admire your efforts at the Meuse-Argonne and Vittorio Veneto.

All while getting their own ATIS …

Ah... the virtual squadron bar is an interesting place. Four Fans... you know I love you. And I'm just having some drunken fun. Come to Beale sometime. Drinks are on me. XOXO. p.s. I've taken my lithium and feel fine now.

Sorry to hear that but it sounds like you have a good attitude about it. That’ll serve you very well wherever you end up. Questions: 1. Yes, you’ll be limited to crew aircraft only now. That still leaves most of the inventory. 2. Your wings will only be stripped if they decide to go to a Flight Evaluation Board (FEB) and that’s the decision from it. I know a bunch of guys that washed out of fighter B courses and the vast majority got offered a waiver to a FEB and reassignment to another aircraft. Only one I know that was FEB’d and lost his wings did some truly heinous things that were deliberate and dangerous. 3. It won’t affect you at all. Just do great at your next jet and you’ll be fine. Plenty of fighter washouts have done great, gone to WIC, made rank, etc. It will all come down to attitude and performance on your next assignment. Keep up your honest attitude and that’ll do serve you very well. Don’t hide it at your next assignment and just be honest. Don’t do the “they had it out for me and it was all BS” routine. In terms of future assignments, you’ll fill out a dream sheet and go from there. Let your leadership know what you want and why and they will help you if you’re a good dude. Try to figure out what mission appeals to you and pursue that. And then whatever you get, that is the best jet in the Air Force. Good luck!
