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. 

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.

They aren't. It looks that way when you catch two different intersecting orbits that illuminate and extinguish at the intersection point. I've seen it and it's completely trippy, but the giveaway is usually that it's repeating, which makes sense because the satellites are evenly spaced in their orbits. 

 

It doesn't take a lot of mental horsepower to debunk the "conspiracy." Alien spaceships have no need for headlights. And secret government programs that have functional anti-gravity propulsion systems aren't going to leave the nav lights on while they do donuts over population centers for fun.

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.’

Yep. No different than all the pilots talking about UFOs right now because they don't understand how starlink satellites reflect the sun back at us.

What about the Starlink satellites that maneuver in 3 dimensions?

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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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

There was more clutch related issues but otherwise pretty much.

Vehicle is also missing some bullet holes. Namely, in the engine block.

That’s chump change at SWA.

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

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.

You all just got directly called out in the debrief.  Full accountability.  Care to defend, retract, alter or otherwise explain your stances?  Accountability is what we need and what most of you have preached.

Aside from nsplayr, I think these dudes have exited the ROZ…

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.

I count 63 bodies, but I thought the wedding only had 54 casualties?

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.

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.

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.
