Wait ... isn't this what we have had on high speed booms since forever?

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
Yes, that's PA's job. As someone currently nonvol'd into flying a shipping container, I will do what the Air Force needs me to do ... which is straighten out any of the Beta Lt's who agree with this dude. I'm grateful for them, hopefully if we can train enough I can go back to doing what I actually signed up to do.

2. That said, the writer of the original article actually gives a shit about getting an aerial achievement medal vs an air medal? ######ing really?

Yet another Poser...this time pretending to be a Two Star
That has to be trolling. Noone could actually say "I love saluting the flag in the morning while all you poopdicks are still sleeping safe in your beds." and be serious.

Not Aviation related...but still epic story.
This reminds me of the news articles about the idiot who assaulted some marines at a Toys-for-Tots stand. I recall he suffered some horrific injuries when he "fell off the curb".

Bibles removed from Air Force checklist
It's probably a money saving thing. If people are actually religious, shouldn't they have their own bible? Noone is being oppressed here.

I think you ought to have your choice of religious/spiritual reading material available from the front desk. Bible, Torah, Koran, Hustler, etc.

Marine Discharged for Facebook Comments
You would think so, but somehow knuckleheads end up on good deals. Sometimes the scheduler is out of bodies I guess.

Or better yet, leave them at home next time.

DoD "ready" for DADT repeal
Looks like a pretty cut and dried case of violating articles 89 and 90 of the UCMJ.

You have to wonder if there is some partisan type in the background egging these guys on to ###### up like this. It seems like this is one of those things that requires multiple personnel to achieve the intended level of stupidity. I'll close with some wisdom my first mentor in the military gave me: Never ###### up during an election year.

I know several people who would be more than happy to walk away from their ADSC with nothing. Also, run the BIT on your sarcasm detector.

FIFY Following this one simple rule would have prevented that whole Abu Ghraib business along with the Peeing Marines controversy.

Cracks in the code
I remember being given one of these surveys my freshman year in college (not USAFA, thank god). I remember several of my classmates gleefully filling in that they had committed all manner of crimes including several varieties of drug abuse, theft and sexual assualt. All of them could have easily won a medal in a "Most Sheltered Suburban Kid of 1998" contest. So I wouldn't give these things too much credence.

Bye bye demo teams (A-10, F-15E, F-16)
1. Saves money 2. Those pilots can go to other billets which need to be filled (staff). I don't know whether those pros outweigh the cons or not.
