Imagine that...when his opening argument was "I intend to prove that I killed those people, because I did."

Air Force 2027: Fewer Pilots, More Drones, More Challenges
It was the case in the KC-10 when the RPA bill first came due. There were extremely few surprises...except to the guys who were sent. Nowadays it seems to be a mixed bag.

Cannon AFB
My "worst" assignment was my UPT base. Columbus wasn't that bad. And the traffic at Travis is nothing compared to the idiocy of the main gate and single-lane roundabout just inside it at McGuire...

B-1 crash
Eyewitlesses will always see smoke and/or fire before a crash whether either is there or not. People expect to see it, so they recall seeing it.

New retirement options for servicemembers could save cash for military - REDUX 2.0?
You do realize that REDUX affected every service member initially, right? It was only after the generals complained to Congress (without any valid data) that it would adversely affect morale and retention. I still see morons take the CSB/REDUX every year because they think they can do better with PV than FV. Makes me sad.

Command Pilot Wings & $840/mo Aviator Pay
Yes, you get three months "free" after your last flight. If you fly in the fourth month you will be fine. If you do not fly in the fourth month but fly in the fifth month, you will lose one gate month (the fourth).

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
706 eligible. 181 finalized. 70 built awaiting finalization. 160 in the backlog. By the numbers on Bob's voicemail, the overall take rate is 25.6% with the potential of it being 58.2% if the backlog is cleared out and everyone who submitted an application finalizes it.

I deliver lots of things: fuel, people, MWDs, bombs, bullets, engines, vehicles, and the list goes on. I can carry more, farther, and faster without a fuel stop. Sure, it can't be as tall or on more than a two-pallet train, but that's what FRED is for.
