It is about f'n time that service members be reminded of their duty to remain apolitical with respect to well and faithfully discharging the duties of their office.

I loved her in The Fifth Element!

Good, clean kill. Sitting 0-6 Installation CC should know better. Would have felt the same if it was about Kaaamala.

Not holding my breath but a $400million fine seems about right.

Lots of guessing focused around our doctrine of airpower, often it is more useful to approach from the adversary's state of mind. In many ways China holds the high ground in the Taiwan fight. With the mainland just over 100 miles it is far easier for them to project airpower over the island. Knowing we face the tyranny of distance problem, they are looking for ways to push us back as far as possible which is why they have developed things like the DF series of missiles. AEW platform like the KJ-500 and the new KJ-700 further feed that doctrine. I would not be surprised if the J-36 falls more into the category of a missile dump truck with VERY long legs.

Don’t do it Biff!!!!!

Checks. Many of them got shuffled through the ranks over the last decade, now that their sex won’t carry them as far some of them are getting upset. Same with African Americans. I would say this is the case with any current Trump policy. When you’ve gone so far off course as a nation (taxes, civilian workforce, DEI, transgenders, foreign aid, etc.), an abrupt bank back to centerline is going to seem extreme to those who benefit from said insane policies when all that’s happening is a course correction back to normalcy.

It's true...AMF. Dude is a complete douche canoe and a disciple of Cat 5.

"I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base," Meyers wrote in the email, which was communicated to Military.com Yeah that's not a surprising dismissal.

FSU shooting, 2 dead and 5 wounded. Sad day. I wish these scumbag would off themselves instead of killing others.

Letitia James is in deep crap...this is not some contrived first-ever interpretation of the law used to attack a political foe, this is real fraud...and it gets uglier as they peel back the onion....BLUF - She married her father? The big-ticket item was a property she told banks in 2023 was her primary residence, despite the fact that it was in Virginia and despite being a statewide public office holder in the state of New York at that same time and primarily residing in the state of New York, Not only did she lie, she had some help from others in her office to make it seem legitimate. In the document, James attested, “I hereby declare I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.” The document was witnessed by First Deputy Attorney General Jennifer Levy and a New York state secretary — and notarized. Not only did he falsely declare Virginia as her state of residence, on numerous documents she declared her father as her husband to meet the federal loan guarantees requirements.

Since Trump took office (not all of them, just a few top ones): TSMC $100B Stargate $500B DAMAC $20B Eli Lilly $27B Apple $500B (after an additional 10% tariff on China) Hyundai $20B J&J $50B CMA GCM $20B GE $1B NVIDIA $500B (yesterday, even amid a potential further tariff increase on chips) Also FWIW, combined $1.1T in planned investments/trade increases with Saudi and India This is not an opinion on the tariffs at all, but saying investments are not being made/not in motion is straight up wrong. Saying tariffs are going to crush investments and businesses will want nothing to do with investing amidst tariffs has so far, been wrong. All the fear- mongering regarding the tariffs has so far panned out to be sky-is-falling bullshit, which is the main point I’m addressing. How will everything look in 4 years (hell even 18 mo), fuck if I know. But I do know right now, even amid Trump’s seemingly volatile economic gameplan, companies and domestic and foreign investors are more so running towards the US economy than away. Ultimately, I’m just glad we’re not continuing to execute the same shit we’ve always done - need to mix it up, stumble/learn/adapt, etc. to get to a more economically independent future. Maybe this will all pan out, maybe it’ll fail and we’ll have to adjust fires, but at least we’re trying to solve the problems instead of just defeatedly accepting the status quo.

But she's OK with her picture?!? (Sorry guys!!)

Honestly these dudes seem to have a lot more fun at war than we do.

Nah, I saw how this forum reacted to bureaucrats releasing timing, targets, and assets within an unclassified signal chain. The basis of judgment has been primarily first which party does the accused wrong doer belong to.

BTW, new CJCS confirmed by 60 senators.

They have been untouchable (STS) for the last 4 years and thought that immunity would continue indefinitely.

Then it would have been even more funny to show him in a fancy curated PowerPoint presentation that GA guys with 4 hours of training can figure out how to fly a taildragger safely. That isn't even a fraction as complicated or challenging of a skill to learn as formation flying or even hovering a helicopter. Even a rotorhead could do it.

Europe is the gayest place on Earth. How else will they continue to purchase cheap dildos besides meeting with Xi.

I'm sure most have seen this already, but it's just too good not to share!! 😁😁😁 QB Nico Iamaleava's time with Tennessee football is over after DEMANDING more money and a 2025 Bugatti Chiron (listed at $4,301,450). Iamaleava, the 5 Star recruiting gem, signed an NIL contract in March 2022 that could’ve paid him more than $8 million by the end of his third year at UT. Iamaleava's ‘Camp’ wanted his NIL pay increased to $4 million per year and a brand new Supercar ‘Bugatti Chiron’ using the possibility of him entering the portal as leverage if his demands were not met. Coach Josh Heupel informed the team that the Vols are moving forward without Iamaleava stating they don’t negotiate with student athletes. #Tennesee #NIL #NicoLamaleava #Vols #SEC

Anyone else yet to receive a training RIP or projected training in their CDB?

Slightly off topic, but with just enough venn overlap: I’ve lost count the number of times a CA I’m flying with (.civ guys) says “I think they should just build new A-10s.” As long as we have another hour in cruise, I’ll paint the picture of 50 years of technology advances being the toys in the Eyes Wide Shut party between DoD program requirements and industry, and how that would create an incestuous love baby that will only get ripped apart across as many congressional districts as possible to create some too-big-to-fail abomination that would resemble the original A-10 about as closely as an ice cream truck. And I somehow feel re-victimized every time.

I saw this this morning. I have to believe that there's more to the story than this blatant a "F U" to the chain of command. More likely, somebody has it out for COL Truckasaurus, the pics weren't in stock when said photo was taken, somebody removed them and then took the pic, etc, etc, etc, or some other more believable scenario. If not, she's likely got a new job coming as Miley's fitness coach...

Hopefully, she was worth it.

Reminds me of:

Facts. Been beating this drum for years so future generations can one day look back and know with certainty where the origin of these asinine decisions came from… …It all started with Kwast/Wills.

GTF outta the left lane Granpa WTF are you driving that you let a Ford and a Dodge pass you? Used to see a few Harleys in Japan. And classic US autos.

See this is how I can tell you're an idiot. You're incapable of divorcing one argument from another. You don't like anyone supporting something you don't support, therefore they must disagree with you on every topic. You're not going to find a lot of people here who are fond of congressman using their positions to enrich themselves. But by all means, continue to show what a bad faith debater you are by continually making this more personal than it needs to be.

Usually around o6, always seemed like the callsign starts getting downplayed, spoken less and less in public settings. Don't think I’ve seen anything about this CJCS since he was first mentioned that didn’t state his callsign at least once in every instance. I like it 🤘

It is literally an Executive Branch agency, and he's the Executive.

Ya boy will be showing up in a FDU. I don’t think it’s deep enough to bring out blues lol.

I’m

Two fairly recent T-1 class patches from the 3rd FTS at Vance.

Maybe she hated being at Thule, what is with female officers who think they don't need to follow orders of the POTUS? Is the whole female officer corps suffering from TDS.

It came straight form the mouth of the then AFSOC Commander who was by trade a Pavelow guy. Why do folks think this can't be used in the big fight against China? I can think of 69 missions it can do in that fight. During the recent Special Air Warfare Symposium the current AFSOC Commander mentioned putting Small Cruise Missiles on them. Pop up out of a dirt strip on an off axis and dramatically complicate the calculus of the Chinese. Also, the Taiwan scenario will include operations on the periphery that will have a big impact on the fight. There are 10,000+ little islands between the PI, Indonesia and Vietnam...

$100M bomber destroyed by a $500.00 drone.

Instead of giving heavy deployers more time with their families I think ACC should use that day for full Class A open ranks inspections...with demerits.
