My father this morning: “Great recruiting poster…it warms my heart! Do you have a burning desire to join?!”

Can you imagine if this dude channeled all of that misguided energy into something worthwhile? Unfortunately his family and friends will get to see his absolutely retarded decision for replay in high def for the rest of their lives. I know a lot on this forum aren’t religious, but God gave him another chance every time he unsuccessfully tried to light up.

You’re holding on too tight, you’ve lost the edge. The numbers don’t lie dude. Going 5X isn’t a rounding error. Actually kind of baffled by the last two pages of ‘debate’. Not sure why anybody would be opposed to tightening our borders, yet here we are…

I love seeing Temu commercials during the Super Bowl… We will censor our own folks during the great COVID sham, but won’t say no to the CCP for some NFL screen time.

They are hitting 85 targets in the opening salvo…I hope our retaliatory strike isn’t just a symbolic gesture and has some real bite. Fuck Iran.

You saw the X-order effect of this at UPT as well. At XL, less than 30% (at most) of the 87th was manned by 11Fs.

Or maybe he legitimately couldn’t look himself in the mirror anymore and grew tired of the internal struggle? I get you like to pretend you’re some dark knight on this mostly red forum, but your online persona is old and worn out. Not that BO.net needs to be an echo chamber, but your political stance is so far off from the majority here that’s it not even worth considering 87% of the time.

Nice…1st Heli?

If you have to ask big man, you can’t afford it.

Any option to go WSO/CSO? I have a couple of buddies who didn’t make it through UPT but made it as CSO/WSO.

If you’re alerting from your squadron and you don’t have a stocked bar, shack your LPA. If it’s from a forward location, shack yourself for not keeping a stash of road sodas for morale after demonstrating exemplary performance.

If you’re too dumb to grab your booze before starting your shift or after it ends…maybe you shouldn’t be destroying more of those braincells? I don’t agree with the why behind it, but I also don’t see 2200-0600L sales restrictions being unnecessarily burdensome.

Ya…and I read Playboy for the articles.

Buyer beware, they run narrow. Short story: I gave myself a bunch of stress fractures in my right foot doing a ruck program in these. My foot being scrunched up coupled with a long, heavy ruck was a magical combo for a world of pain.

I’m honestly surprised they have time to do anything productive for the country at all. I figured they were all too busy finding ways to stuff many, many dollars into their wallets.

Some fine Americans are not happy that you don’t think that they are hanging it out in Ukraine right now.

Hot take…the airlines don’t require a degree. Spend your money on hours to get to the regionals, run hard and get to the majors. Live on ramen for another 2 years until you’re a narrow body captain, then spend your money on a technical school for something like welding. Profit.

Crazy stuff. I was behind on the SRS podcasts, but recently he hosted a former GB gone GB. He went to Mexico and did psychedelics under medical supervision and had nothing but great things to say. This occurrence certainly won’t enhance the possibility of using psychedelics to help treat PTSD and TBI victims. Damn shame.

I remember my first, and also one of nearly my last. As a student on the wing of the OG…he decided that leaving the power back at 80% post-correction while on ILS glidepath and hard IMC was good for formation integrity. I was having a hell of a time staying in position but didn’t have the SA to cross check my airspeed. Apparently my IP, and lead didn’t either. So off we went into an IMC, fingertip TP stall at 600’ AGL. That was just enough altitude for us to fall away from each other and break out of the weather. Lead was about 500’ in front and landed about 3k down. I didn’t keep the burners lit as long and touched down 750’ down, 30kts flared off. Good times.

Circling in the T-38 isn’t any riskier than a normal overhead. From what I remember, a low closed pattern is usually lower than Cat E circling mins. I’ve seen more dangerous situations develop in the tiger patterns than the circling approaches. Part of the reason we have stall/sink awareness and not just stall awareness requirements.

That’s somewhat cryptic, and probably too early to tell exactly what that email is truly saying. Who has the Pelosi angle on this one? P.s., ‘Pelosi angle’ is my newly-minted phrase for colloquialisms like market insight, insider trading, inside baseball, gouge, etc.

“We” only censor sitting presidents and scientists/doctors that speak out against the erosion of civil liberties.
