Move to Florida. Seriously. I've seen multiple CZ's at my local indoor range. And that's saying I've also seen guns that simply shouldn't be at my local indoor range. For real, the guys here don't care WHAT you shoot so long as you're professional about HOW you shoot. I haven't hit the less-than-local outdoor range yet...but it's 1000+m long. I'd imagine @ClearedHot could definitely say more to shooting around here.
Yup. Nobody gives a shit here. Indoor. Outdoor. Private land. Public land. Offshore.
Just don’t be a dumbass. And even that is a low bar in florida.

The one that fits and is functional 🙂 Gotta try out what works for you and how you dress
And FFS get a good gun belt.

The question is not "is there cognitive decline", but rather "how significant is it?"
I would rather have a highly experienced 66 year old in the left seat than a 23 year old with no turbine PIC in the right seat (or left seat, as has been the case recently).
those are both terrible and not the only options ….

I retired in 03 with 20%, more or less the VA telling me to go away. Then I retired to a rural county in Colorado and discovered an VSO whose goal was to get every Vet in the county a disabled vet license plate and concurrent pay. I'm up to 50% with back pay. Too bad I didn't find a guy like this in Oklahoma.
The local, adversarial to the feds, vso guy is worth their weight!

I am guessing you've never been in a gunfight or you are a world class combat tested shooter. It is one thing to drive nails at the range, quite another once the adrenaline starts to flow...trust me.
Nope. Nor do I hope to be.
Around my normal territory, if a weapon is produced folks back away. If a weapon is fired, folks run. We aren’t dealing with organized squads of trained paramilitary.
Even in Phoenix and Vegas I wasn’t carrying to win a protracted gun fight ….

External safety is a training issue, but sure, personal preference...
Why does an external hammer matter to you?
4.5lbs (avg factory setting) is hardly a hair trigger.
Agreed 100% on capacity issue. I'd want more rounds, if I wound up in a fight.
As opposed to a Glock with no safety?
and a steel 1911 makes a fine blunt implement if you run out of BBs. Plastic guns don’t.

3” stainless 1911.
if you need more than 8, you’ve got bigger problems

C-130H and C-130J sims are certified Cat C or D (Full Flight Sims) sims and count for sim hours in the civilian world for maintaining currency. Yes there is a civilian type for the C-130J (L-382J type rating is different than the L-382 type). Yes, there are civil carriers that operate the C-130J. They exist, the end. If you doubt the certification of all the C-130 sims, go look up the Sim Cert folks at Little Rock. Certifying our sims to an FAA standard is literally their entire job.
It's sim time. Log it and keep track. It doesn't count toward total time for civilian companies (though there may be a few exceptions). Don't expect to get anything for it though RIGHT NOW. Realize that at the drop of a hat the FAA or some airline you might fly for in the future may want to see that sim training, or even count it towards some time counter they track. The civil aviation career field is known to be ossified and immovable...right up until it changes over night. Be ready.
Long view: It's professional training you've accomplished. Keep track of it in your own logbook. If you don't have a personal consolidated logbook (all civil, UPT, mil flying) start one. You're a professional and that is your professional resume and professional journal. I've met more than enough airline pilots who stopped logging their own hours when they got hired at their "forever" airline, only to be shocked years later when they needed to find a new flying job and had to scramble to make sense of the 'flight log' that their company kept.
Pro Tips: DO NOT TRUST USAF HARMS RECORDS TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR FLYING Keep your own logbook. Also, yes it will be years before your log PIC time. That's normal. Don't fudge those numbers to make it look like you've got turbine PIC before you should. Airline hiring shops see right through those tricks.
There you go. If it’s a legit FAA blessed sim, track it!
-
In the fighter world…none of the sims were FAA blessed or even equivalent to FAA blessed sims, so sim time meant nothing.
ymmv

Even when ALL The current satellites are blasted into a cloud of debris …. Space is still a surprisingly empty place. Even in orbit. Even with everything turning into garbage.
it’s not an insurmountable problem to solve. Satellite debris won’t be so thick it blocks out the sun.
it’s meh overall

Just dont spend your dough sports games that support this nonsense. The NFL, MLB, NBA and the like need fans more than we need them.
I watched some of the 69ers vs the Queefs last night.. it's more of a spectacle than a sporting event. I don't know how people can follow that garbage.
69’ers and queefs have been at odds FOREVER! It’s a very bitter rivalry.

CH,
I agree with you. Except that the bump to my pay would be only about $1900, since it's a percentage of base pay... so even less enticing, since an extra 15 days of airline work will cover that.
If the airline world falls apart, they may get some takers. But otherwise, no.
To be clear … an extra 15 days or so at the airline will cover the $1900 a month bump…for the entire year.
assuming you’re working those 15 days at straight pay

Yup. Nobody ever forgets to turn it off ….
