A new force structure?
Most likely close, but if EUCOM does disappear it will look suspicious to those who claim Trump is too buddy-buddy with Putin. STRATCOM absorbing Space and Cyber along with its nuke mission is a no brainer. Perhaps they'll split the world in two at the International Date Line and the Greenwich Mean Time making EASTCOM and WESTCOM fudging the latter's line a little? Of course, SOCOM could always fall under STRATCOM if necessary; bringing some of the "cool kids" from Tampa to Omaha! ๐๐๐

Just to switch gears (not that getting breech loaded over taxes isn't a fun discussion!), I just saw this and wanted to highlight another excellent pick by Trump! Trump to tap Texas โborder czarโ to lead U.S. Border Patrol, report says I met Mike Banks when he spoke at a Texas Leadership conference a year or so ago, and was highly impressed with the guy! He's not a politician, knows the border as well as anyone, and has reasonable expectations as to what needs to be done. He is also very unapologetic, during his speech he talked about the border buoys Texas is putting in the Rio Grande. He defended their use, and addressed numerous fallacies about them such as using saw blades in between the buoys. Not long after, I took a week-long trip along the Texas border with a stop at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, and there was a line of these waiting to be placed in the river. I did the same thing Banks mentioned and ran my bare palm along the ridges of those "blades." I didn't get a scratch. This new administration is moving in the right direction when it comes to defending our sovereignty!

Starting a podcast before being selected for a military pilot slot: Good or Terrible idea?
Here's one of my favorite social media sites about flying... Pilot Debrief - YouTube Sure, it's not a podcast (I didn't realize anyone outside of commuters listened to those anymore, but I am outside the targeted demographic so what do I know?); but it's a good standard to measure yourself by (STS). If you're not as articulate and comprehensive as Hoover, I'd give making podcasts a miss and focus on more important things...

That's how we processed aircraft maintenance information when I first enlisted, a typist (not me) would input the data from the forms onto IBM key punch cards using a machine like this... I had to program the template card which created the data fields, which sat on a spool behind the little window at the middle top of the machine. We'd then take a box stacked full of those IBM cards to be run overnight, and the reports from the data came back on stacks of continuous dot matrix printer paper like CH posted. If we wanted more than one copy, there was carbon paper in between the sheets which had to be removed making a mess! A few years later I took a computer class in college, and the instructor called this "1950s technology." Of course, the USAF was still using it in the early 1980s! Shit, I feel old now... ๐ด๐ด

Another reason to love Trump! Cardi B blames Trump for ruining her shoes at the Super Bowl, demands he bring back her deported uncle How this thing actually believes anyone gives a shit what it thinks (a stretch of the term) or says is beyond me! Instead of bringing back her illegal uncle, let's send her to wherever he was sent! The quicker we rid US society of this self-entitled scum such as this, the better!

Yeah, leave 9.6 million beneficiaries suddenly without medical coverage. How could that go wrong?!? ๐ซข Yes, Tricare needs restructuring and revising; but killing it is not an option.
