Unfortunately, this is the kind of rumor you get when the bobs start, what some would call, bold facing lying to students. They're being told they'll do one assignment and then go to fighters. At one base they're also being told they may get sent to IFF before their heavy B-Course. Idk if the bobs are afraid they're going to have a revolt when this next -38 drop happens, or if they actually believe the BS they're telling studs. Flt/CCs gave their studs the drop sheet for the one this week (all 3 regular upt bases) and let them decide amongst themselves who was going where. The good news is there are no UAVs in the drop.

Yes. Although now they get wings post T-6's...

The last time your team was relevent the Motorola razr was the new hotness, The Rock had hair, ppl actually wrote in cursive, and BQZip's mom had a body count below triple digits.

Are you asking why they tried a second cable engagement on a RWY that had another cable available w/ calm winds. Or why they chose to fly ~30 miles away to Lemoore instead of 140 miles with minimum fuel and a hydraulic problem?

Go Guard.

Don't forget to brief your double missed cable gear down min fuel divert gameplan. That'll put some hair on your chest.

The one that smashed his exec or the one that took over for him?

The Garmin watches are all well and good, until the altimeters start failing at the 18 month point. Even better when Garmin recommends buying a new watch if you want it fixed. Skillcraft Aviator pens are great. If you have enough cash for 400 dollar watches I'd rather get some nice shades (Costa etc.) or a good travel bag (osprey, eagle creek, patagonia etc.).

Backfire lives up to its name.. Russia claims it had an engine fire, Ukraine claims it caused the engine fire with a missile

Ukraine DestroysThird/Last Bridge in Kursk "The destruction of the third bridge over the Seym river at Karyzh would mean Russian troops on a broad stretch of the border beyond the river would now largely cut off"

Ukraine Creating Buffer Zone in Russia "Ukraine’s Commander in Chief, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, claimed last week that his forces had advanced across 1,000 square kilometers (390 square miles) of the region,"

Reminds me of the scientist Boyd referenced that declared the ideal missile would need to be shaped like a boomerang...

That whiny ass bitch hurts my ears worse than 110 decibels ever could.

Iran tells Israel, via Hungarian foreign minister, it's going to attack Like your grandma telling you what she got you for your birthday, before it's your birthday

IRGC claims short-range projectile used to kill Haniyeh

You guys think the Colonel's middle name is "Dick"? That'd be unfortunate.

Is the example of the name tag "First Name Last Name" or does it explicitly say, " Nametag must display first name and last name."? If it's the former I'd say that's just an example like "John Doe." If it's the latter, easy, we just all change our legal names.

You should get an email at some point with your flt/cc's info, but don't expect a sponsor for PIT. There aren't necessarily a list of specific places to live unless you're showing up solo then there are plenty of PIT pads (Google will help). You can find furnished places in Schertz, Cibolo, etc. that will allow short term leases.

That dude isn't going to do/say anything contrary to what his boss says and jeopardize his next assignment/rank. There's plenty of actual studies/data that the AF has commissioned and then blatently ignored. I don't think a bunch of dudes brainstorming common sense ideas on the internet is going to help. Maybe if a C-17 crewed by two T-6 direct to Altus dudes crashes into an LGBTQ+ parade during a flyover they'll 're-evaluate' the training program.

Recommend reading Operation Pineapple Express by Lt Col Scott Mann (ret.). First hand account of a group led by prior Green Berets to get former Afghan SOF/Interpreters and their families out prior to the U.S. exit. Libby has it for free on audiobook. Eye opening to say the least for someone that isn't familiar with what went down.

Finally, a counterpoint grounded in logic, and not the same ol' verbal Russian handjob from the resident apologist.
