CV-22 Osprey assignment out of pilot training, how does it work?
Not a lot of CAS for USAF Helicopters. AFGSC does either CAS or AI, but they are stateside missions. No rockets or missles just the M-240. CSAR dudes have a very cool mission. They have 50 cal and mini gun action. If you go AF helicopters, you'll have a good time. Just realize AF Helicopters are not slinging hellfires like the Army and Marines. We sit a lot of alert regardless of what helicopter you end up in.

CV-22 Osprey assignment out of pilot training, how does it work?
Mother Novosel doesn’t have the same ring. Break, break @RANDOMDUDE13 What are interested in doing mission wise? If all you want to do is fly an Osprey, the Marines have the most. It's hard (sts) to get a CV-22 as there aren't that many and they are selective as to who they take into their community, especially straight out of UPT. The CV-22 mission is pretty badass but like others have said, you can't do your mission without flying. If you want to do a 160th type mission, go Army. If you want to fly Ospreys, go Marines.

Drug Testing Confidence
I was pretty hungover for my last piss test in the AF. I got a phone call from the CC's secretary to come in and do the dance. I didn't plan on going to the office that day as I was pretty much done working for Uncle Sam. I didn't end up going to the office but I did have to go see the secretary to get the notification of the piss test. I did the piss test and obviously never heard anything about it as I retired in 2018. I was a geographicly separated bachelor and I probably drank too much at the time (Irish, prior mx, boom operator and helicopter pilot equals good drinker). My wife and family came into town a few days later for my retirement.

Former Army dude and Current Army dude conduct same-day attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas
The fat SrA that torched himself for Palestine made the Green Beret's suicide look rather weak.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
The Ukrainians shot down a Russian helicopter with a sea drone. That's nuts.

USS Gettysburg downs Navy Hornet
Remember that Tornado the patriot dudes took out during OIF? They seem to get at least one good guy every war.

Drug Testing Confidence
Lol Break, break I had about 15-20 piss tests during 20 years of AD. The last one was during the week of my retirement ceremony. Good thing they didn't check for booze.

Did he realize that a Cybertruck doesn't have boom boom juice? No cool explosion without a little gasoline.

Kinda a lame attack in Las Vegas. He killed himself in a Cybertruck full of fireworks, in the lobby of the Trump tower. Probably the gayest suicide bombing of the year.

Flying Videos Thread Part 2?
One of the coolest helicopter scenes made by Hollywood. Kinda gives a guy a quarter chub.

It looks kinda big and definitely gay. Lol. A stretched Bat Wing, especially without the vertical stabilizer. I wonder if there are three humans inside of that massive cockpit? Shit you could probably fit at least four fully grown Chinese in there.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
That elevator looks a little suspicious. One hell of a bird strike.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
