  1. Pooters challenge was to tell the wife we were going to Laughlin. I did that in 2017. No tears, no whining, no drama. …I’m not saying I didn’t like the Del Rio Walmart though.
  2. Location isn’t a big deal. Next.
  3. I think most dudes shit talk it because they haven’t actually done it. They’ve heard about it from their buddies friends sisters uncle and perpetuate lies. It’s a daily grind, but a lot of the MWS ancillaries simply don’t exist. There is no pre-deployment WSMR/NAWS/WSEP trip…no flag to participate in…nothing. Sure, you triple turn and fly XC, but you’re smoking crack if you think that keeps you TDY more than an MWS unit. To take this one step further…I’d wager that 87.69% of the folks who drag XL through the mud couldn’t even find it on the map, let alone have been there. Is Del Rio a garden spot? Not even close. But there are people who complain that the sand in the FL Panhandle was too fine and difficult to wash out of their crusty ass cracks. @UDEL09I know this is going to sound harsh, but allow me to play you a classical piece on the worlds smallest violin.
  4. I’d say closer to 23-24…so essentially a dude gunning for O-6 or beyond.
  5. Let us not forget that you can also enlist and die (assuming you were to complete basic and whatever MOS/AFSC training was required in time) at the age of 17… Old enough to chop your fucking dick off and die for your country, but not old enough to bum a cigarette (or fag depending on your culture).
  6. They were basket cases before, and will be basket cases after.
  7. I thought this was a Duffel Blog article…there is still hope that we’re not completely losing our credibility as a force.
  8. No thanks, I have standards. Really though…the 757 has an RMI and ADF pointer. CRT ADI, HSI, and engine stack. Otherwise analog everything else. Unless it’s an H3, it’s at least 2 generations ahead.
  9. Asking for a friend…what’s an RMI? I’ve also heard that people used to fly things called NDB approaches but I can’t find anything in my 787 company manual. /s
  10. Plenty of thankless jobs out there, but that’s not an excuse to not know what the 401 is as a SARM. I think it is akin to a pilot not knowing what the 202 is, but maybe I have just set my expectations too high.
  11. Some of those folks definitely put the Special in AFSOC. We had a terrible SARM troop one deployment. After several counseling sessions, I directed the individual to reread the RTM and sections of the 401. I’ve never seen somebody stare so blankly in my life.
  12. Watching Top Gun Maverick is a suitable replacement for step-down training. We’re all cleared to 300’ and lower.
  13. The sad part about this is that the trans person (used to be a dude, now a chick) held the record at 275 lbs. I can understand why he transitioned…weak ass bench press for a normal dude lol.
  14. Jaywalking. Trick or treating as a 15 year old in Chesapeake, VA. Wearing slippers in public after 10PM in New York City. All crimes, so let’s find the dirtbag offenders and put em in the gallows. My actual point: thank god we are now deciding to enforce the law. The witch hunt 2.0 will absolutely instill faith in our bureaucracy. The real lesson learned is that it’s ok to do shady shit, as long as you’re not voting republican. Luckily we live in an era when you can identify as anything you want. So if you BO.net patrons ever get rolled up, don’t forget to play the trans/lib card for free passage.
  15. Care to cite said nations so we can all compare notes? I’m with Bashi and the rest who see our divergence from Christian principles as a causal factor in the decline of modern US society.
  16. I am saddened that the perp wasn’t taken alive and brought to a black site where the families of the deceased could enact their own form of justice.
  17. Am I the only one who thinks we need to just totally fuck up Iran and be done with their bullshit for a while? I’m not encouraging a protracted and decades long conflict…but I would love to see these anti-American rug makers silenced for a while and rendered incapable of inflicting further harm to us. I know of at least one nation who’d be willing to aid in the delivery of a quick and lethal response.
  18. “Once people transition and become their true selves, there’s not a mental block,” she said. “With that they become exceptional. They soar above everyone else. They become absolute rock stars. They become an even better, stronger, faster, more intellectual performer than they previously were.” This dude is out here thinking that cutting off your dick or attempting to grow one makes you a super saiyan or something. I’ve heard that smoking PCP (and HGH/TRT) also makes you stronger and faster…when do we normalize that for our military members?
  19. Good data pull, helps give perspective to the increase in media coverage. To me, it’s analogous to the coverage that shark attacks get…one person gets chomped and all of the sudden it’s like Jaws is at every sand bar of every beach in USA.
  20. DoD acting like an abusive husband. “I know I hurt you, but I promise I won’t do it again…I’ve changed!”
  21. I think so. Upon graduation you’re authorized to mix and match boot colors when rehacking long gun qual.
