O Face

Looked damn tough tonight!

Nobody cares where you went to school. Personally, I see an applicant with a degree from WGU, or something similar, and I give them credit for making a sound financial decision instead of wasting massive amounts of $ at a liberal seminary. Great scores on your pilot and PCSM as well. You should have some really cool stories to tell at an interview about racing cars. Good luck.

You’re right. The Afghanistan withdrawal was beautifully executed. Couldn’t have gone any smoother.

Unreal…Sure hate to hear that.

We’re still wearing them (ANG squadron)

I found yours, Biff!!

Absolutely and while we’re at it, might as well drop the geographical references too. Not sure Cal will make a ton of sense in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Best of luck

There’s a million different qualities, both tangible and intangible. Sometimes you only get an half hour to decide if a person posses those traits we’re looking for. Us guard guys are pretty good at picking out the person who is going to be a good fit for the long haul though. Just remember if you don’t get T-38’s on track select night, don’t pout and bitch. Go be the best you can in something else. Everyone “saw themselves in a fighter” at some point. And there’s been a million dudes who thought they wanted fighters, only to end up loving what they got instead.

If you can end the conversation with a strongly voiced “at this time”…absolute perfection.

I find this difficult to believe. Also, @JimNtexas did you a big favor when he asked you that question. It will be asked of you again, in some form, should you get an interview, and I’d recommend you start working on your answer, because here’s your issue…We don’t give a shit where you see yourself. You are hoping that those interviewing you see you in a fighter. See the difference? How much longer do you have on your ADSC? Are you applying to the AD UPT board as well?

Interesting indeed. I’m not surprised by those poll numbers. Now, I know this realignment is entirely about the almighty $ that comes with TV network sponsorships. However, I can’t help but think that the stupid way D1 football crowned its national champion for the past 100 years had something to do with this as well. Had there been a playoff similar to the FCS all these years, then perhaps school presidents, boosters, etc. may have been a bit less antsy to jump into a “super conference” if the season’s champion was decided on the football field instead of by a beauty pageant at the end of the year. Im not naive enough to believe this was the only issue facing FBS schools, but next year we get a 12 team playoff and we’ll likely be down to 3 “power” conferences by then, thereby completely cheapening the magnitude of being “conference champion”. I know there were many wrinkles that needed straightening, but certainly could’ve been. And had the opportunity been available to all conference champions, the powers that be, might have been more comfortable with the status quo.

Agreed. Just another example of ruining something great. FCS and the smaller conferences will still be reminiscent of the good ol days, I hope.

Well, that was a quite a day yesterday huh? I’ll tell you what, they need to give that Big12 commissioner a raise, that savvy son of a bitch lost OU and UT, turns around and grabs UA, ASU, UU, and CU, pulling the plug on the PAC 12, not to mention the other teams already scheduled to join. Not saying it’s the best conference, but I think it’s gonna be the most fun to watch.

Holy shit, man! That’s a rock-n-roll way to get noticed!! I recommend you walk into the squadron and “shoot your stuff” all over there too. A dude willing to texture the walls himself is certainly going to be remembered. Anyway, your scores are great. You’re still young, and sometimes prior service can help in the decision process; it can also sometimes be a detriment. You could use some more flight time, but I’m going to give you the same advice I give everyone who asks: If you want to get hired at a guard unit, go get to know the pilots. We want to hire folks who will fit in and be a great addition to our close knit group. The more squadron pilots who know you and enjoy being around you, the better your chances of getting picked up. Secondly, if fighters are all you want, start there, if you don’t get picked up, maybe start applying to heavy units too. I can’t stress enough to you and all the Guard UPT hopefuls out there that there is no secret recipe to getting hired. Great scores, great transcripts, great people, they all start to run together. If you want folks to remember who you are come interview season, the absolute best opportunity you’re going to get is to get to know the pilots. Whether that means enlisting in the unit, getting invited to meet and greets, showing up at drills, email and call squadron leadership asking to come visit, kidnap their wife and hold her ransom - whatever. Look, I know it’s not easy and seems weird in today’s age, but that’s why flying in the guard kicks ass still.

You probably won’t even take your suit jacket off at an airline interview and there is no such thing as an inspection process. So if you have some tats on your forearms, you’ll be wearing the long sleeves the rest of your career, but that’s it. No problem. I suppose I can’t speak for all airlines. Wouldn’t be surprised if DL guys got the full open ranks inspection each morning. - Joking!

Unbelievable... You handled it better than I would have.

Indeed, and mark my word, in another decade we’ll be bombarded with the attempted normalization of pedophilia. They’ll even use the same playbook…”I was born this way, so how can it be wrong?” “I feel like a child on the inside, so why can’t I be with one?” “Who are you to get in the way of my happiness?” “Love is love” If you had told any one of us 10 years ago that dudes would be competing in NCAA women’s competitions, we would’ve said you’re crazy.

Agreed! Excellent movie!

You’re in luck! https://www.sos.ga.gov/page/georgia-voter-identification-requirements “Free!!”

Thank you! Agreed. Case in point: Georgia - “Hey guys you need to show some valid ID to vote here now” Every Liberal (screaming) “That’s racist!!!!” If I were a minority, I would be so offended by the notion that I was incapable of securing some valid form of ID for myself. How do you tolerate, let alone vote for, politicians who constantly call you stupid?

Very interesting article today, by Clay Travis, on the absolute deep dive the NBA has taken as they’ve embraced all things woke. I’m sure one could argue their Chinese overlords are making them plenty of money in China, but I’m not sure that’s the NBA’s ultimate definition of success. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/nba-americas-first-bud-light-style-fiasco-supposed-know

Maybe it’s to the little girl’s advantage? Certainly won’t have the financial assistance that foreign interests have lavished upon the family, but without the Biden name, maybe she’ll avoid growing up to be a huge sack of shit, like the rest of the clan.
