    Current post T-6 student, dropping out of T-1s in ~January looking for some heavy insight. Join spouse w/ an 11F follow-on FAIP that drops a couple of months after. Leaning HC-130s, EC-130s/E-37 (if they are around). Any take would be very appreciated.

    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. 

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    Victory is the end of hostilities and whatever the Ukrainian people are willing to define as victory, short of invasion of Russia.  I would guess they'd want full restoration of territory and return of hostages. 

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

    It is unlikely you will pay less than $9 for that loaf of bread ever again, and it's probably not done going up.

    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?

    Each stick figure represents 10 kills, otherwise the entire plane would be covered.  No comment on the Wedding Party, except to say Prox (airbursting), 105MM's are great for cleaning off a ZU-23/2.  This reflects one rotation for this aircraft (probably 5-6 months), in the Mid 2000's.

    Dang, nice parry.

    That bio is a word salad of bullshit. When I read this kind of crap, I always picture that bar scene in Good Will Hunting where he’s mocking the Harvard idiots.

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

    Wow, a real tear jerker tune there. This particular lyric really spoke to me: “In this chrome heart, you’ve got dino-sized room I'll be your knight in scaly armor, dispelling the gloom Through the steam and crumbs, our hearts beat as one It's a Jurassic love that can't be undone.”

    Really though…this tech is wild. That song is better than 90% of the trash played on the radio, and it’s about a dinosaur that loves a toaster ha!

  10. For some reason I have a feeling that this event was bit more frenetic than your run of the mill lost link shoot down. I wasn’t there and have no SA on what it was like in the jet so I’m probably off the mark…

    Ok, seems I gotta spell it out for the folks in the room here.  Years ago, Trump say, all you gotta do is grab em by the pussy.  Its a control thing.  He has done that to a large majority of the republic party, politicians and voters alike.  For the politicians that know better but go along with trump they are weak ass pussies, weaklings, and spineless turds that won't stand against him.  For the maga voters, same shit.

    My analogy has nothing to do with DEI, it's purely a figurative statement to say, today, most Republicans are weak, and Trump has grabbed by their weak ass pussy.

    There, does that make more sense?
