What's wrong with the Air Force?
If all USAF pilots are being forced to wear blues every day, might as well go to the 89th and get a free jacket too.

Lighten Up Francis!
Not beat the dead horse, but 16 dead hardly makes something off limits in comedy. 30 minutes of Anthony Jeselnik will fix that problem…quickly.

Drones over the Northeast
You got the first part right…what some of us see is not Starlink. What we do see defies conventional capabilities. EXTREMELY apparent that it’s non-linear motion. I know you are well-read and think you have this all figured out, but I was flying a Space Force orbital warfare officer who saw what we saw…that individual was just as baffled. Not saying this person knows it all, but if they didn’t know then maybe things exist out there that actually require ‘a lot of mental horsepower.’

What about the Starlink satellites that maneuver in 3 dimensions?

How do you feel about your airframe and mission?
Prepare for a ton of long distance. I haven’t seen a lot of cross-MAJCOM relationships where the couple was colocated. I remember a couple coming through PIT (tanker and fighter couple) and they said they had it pretty rough.

It would take every Ranger in the 75th to get through this fucking fat body. I'm clearly not an elite and had to do some googling to figure out this guy comes from one of the Top 10 richest families in the US. One RCH deeper reveals their wealth was built through development and expansion of the Hyatt hotel chain. Wasn't a fan of the chain before, but I'll be sure to avoid the abortion riddled, alphabet soup stuffed, snowflake draped cesspool further.

Grabbed that mic right by the pussy.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
Note: posting here because I wasn’t sure where else to throw it… Anybody out at Andersen AFB? I’m curious as to how folks are receiving BG Palenske. He seems to be loved on the ole wing bookface page, but wondering if that is a shared sentiment from those under his leadership.

I couldn’t believe it when I got the text. RIP Matt, see you on the other side brother.

The Next President is...
Having boated in/around Newport, RI…no way this proposal passes. The amount of money I saw in the harbor floating was unreal. If anything, all of these corrupt politicians will be paid off, and instead you’ll see boats under 35’ restricted to min wake speeds. It’s always the commoner getting screwed. Reference snapper seasons in FL.

B-1 Down at Ellsworth
Regarding the rings…brought to you by the same command threatening to Q3 folks on homestation evals for not wearing safe to fly boots. Meanwhile, you deploy the next week flying in tennis shoes and polos. I get your point about willful noncompliance. That can be absolutely devastating to the safe and disciplined approach to flying. Where I fall off the support wagon is when it’s about a nothingburger, WGAF, non-mission detracting thing like rings.

The new airline thread
I’ve also had buddies with above average interpersonal/networking skills go sling gear as SIC at no cost on the weekends.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Vehicle is also missing some bullet holes. Namely, in the engine block.

The new airline thread
Must be the hazardous duty pay they provide. All of those near CFITs, control tower strikes, plus departures from NOTAM’d runways and all…

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
This is why “we” have not experienced true victory in a longggg time. Unrealistic goals.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Aside from nsplayr, I think these dudes have exited the ROZ…

I don’t see any bread stocks in the Pelosi Index…is this an insider trading tip regarding the impending boom in rustic Italian breads?

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Dang, nice parry.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
I count 63 bodies, but I thought the wedding only had 54 casualties?

Does flying start feeling like a job after a while?
Every time I try to get this word into an OPR some exec takes it out. Maybe future officers will have more success than I.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
I thought these things were going away?

Marine Exchange
This thread is a massive disappointment. I thought we were going to compare the USAF BX to the USMC PX where you could still find Hustlers and Harleys on display front n center.

Social Unrest
Mock all we want…the unfortunate truth is that she’ll probably be a senator some day.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Can confirm. As General Chang’s protege, his talents were best utilized on staff and as back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back HOLIDAY party planner of the year for his unit.

Inspired by @Lord Ratnerpost about Udio… “San Francisco Turned Me Gay” by Jag. This AI masterpiece had me actually laughing out loud. https://www.udio.com/songs/j12eLzi7vvEZgiBi1eZL9V
