    If you’re a T-1 stud: 69% chance of a C-17 then rest is 1-2 AFSOC, couple wide body ISR, rest tankers. 
     

    If you’re a T-38 stud with a pulse (even if it’s faint) probably a Viper but 33.3% repeating chance of a 5th gen; the other 1-3 studs will get a bomber. If you’re at Laughlin, 87% chance you get FAIPd. Better yet, if you’re at Vance or Columbus...you could FAIP to XL!

    COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)

    My googling has been limited, but why get the vaccine if you’ve already had the virus? CDC has no clue how long the vaccine will remain effective and has no clue how long the antibodies from COVID exposure will be retained by the body. Is it just to be extra “safe”?

    More Uniform Changes!

    The same guys who ironed fishing line into their BDU sleeves, cut off buttons to sew down their pockets and put weights in their bloused pants are the likely the same people now writing the AFI.  Goodluck!

    I heard that’s how you catch bass. Or was it bass?

    Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)

    Still somewhat unbelievable that there was no mention of 11R in the PSDM. I’m not an 11R so I have no clue as to what their life is really like or how their manning is perceived by those in the trenches...but to not even offer a bonus is a pretty bold move. Whether by design or through some sheer dumb publishing/copy +paste error it sends a very clear message.

    Dude, I think you have scales on your eyes. Not everything is political or about wokeness. How much do you expect a performance car to cost? Dodge gets people to pay $100k for a Challenger. Double that for a 911 Turbo. The Plaid+ has 1100 horsepower and is the quickest production car ever made. Estimated to be an 8 second car that you can put 200k miles on. For 10% of the cost of hypercars - that are slower and require $50k of mx every 10k miles. I don’t know if there’s a cost/horsepower equation, but no gasoline production car will ever catch up. They’re antiques. Which is fine, I like old things also.

    If you only want the world’s second fastest car just get the regular Plaid and save $35k.

    Some people DGAF about 0-60 or 1/4 mile. A Tesla on anything other than the drag strip is boring. No rumble. No shifting. Nothing...it’s a really fast vibrator with tires. It doesn’t excel in the corners either. I would rather buy two C8’s than a single Tesla. One for the track and one as a DD.

    But thank God this is America and you can spend your money on whatever you want...even if it is the wrong way. 🍺

    There is very little unscheduled sim time at least in my community.

     

    That could be fixed by dissolving the T-1 UPT IP manning and generating more MWS sim time. 

     

    I honestly can't recall how much attention I've given to di1630s posts before, but I hope you are still serving and in a position to affect the current model. As alluded to earlier...too many get off my lawn types running around. 

    Also good to see hindsight still writing 200 IQ responses to internet chat blabber.

    House For Sale in Del Rio - 4 br, 3 ba, 0.42 acre lot...$287.5k

    Hey folks...picked up a new assignment and giving the FSBO deal a shot.  If you buy my house, I'll give you the Cub Cadet lawn tractor (and some Heinekens that fit perfectly in the cupholder) at no charge.

    Built in late 2017, semi-custom ranch home set in a the northern part of Ceniza Hills/Buena Vista.  Easy commute to Laughlin, perfect access to the loop when it re-opens.  No HOA so Wild West rules if you are into keeping junker cars and a barely-functional trampoline in your backyard.

    Digital ORM

    Resistance is futile, the future is here. I'm not senior enough to have an aid (AIDS is different, recently got educated on that through green dot training) but if someone wants to log 69+ ORM cuts a day for the remainder of my time in the seat, I'll give you like...a couple bucks or something. I have done that in the past, but performing a manual input and parsing that amount of data isn't feasible.

    For the haters...I guess be glad you have your current system and don't need to endure the shittiness that will be inflicted upon the squadron.
