im gone one freaking day and i miss the fun

Haha yeah man i had seen that, he's just a bad ass man. Also like that clint eastwood is a pilot as well... speaks to the generational gap and the fact i have friends that are more excited to sit in a chair and fly their stupid 1000 dollar robot around 10 min at a time then to hop in a plane and go for a ride with me

Figures MD puts together the best argument and then i look down and see hes a fellow Arizonan, and one down south to boot...

what a freaking boss

bingo, hopefully we get a jet that we work the kins out, serves long and ushers in a new generation of bad ass manned fighters. for all the f-35 faults at least theres a dude in it

never, oh please god no never. one size fits all programming is the bane of my existence, i shudder to think of the implications on a specialized embedded system... the problem with our development is we are too software reliant, software sucks to develop, hardware is easy. as long as we become more and more reliant on software, there will be issues that need to get worked out.

every generation needs its f-4 and f-111 to then set the course for their f-15 and f-16s

truth... specially round travis area, hell mather/mcclellen were great spots to live, 2 hours to tahoe 90 min to the bay

I was in high school on the varsity lacrosse team when the Duke Lacrosse team was accused of rape. I was ridiculed by my senior current events teacher because i was STAUNCHLY supporting the lacrosse team. not because they were also lacrosse players, but because people are innocent until proven guilty and the crime just didnt make sense for a collegiate team that was on track to win it all. when the facts all finally came out and the boy were exonerated their season was crushed (school cancelled the rest of the season BEFORE they were even charged). The only bright spot was my current events teacher walked up to me in front of the whole class, publicly apologized for criticizing me so much, and told the class that logic and common sense go alot farther then jumping on the PC bandwagon. i guess the point of my rant is that this PC stuff has been around for a long time, it comes in fits and spurts. But even proponents of it, when slapped in the face with how really out of touch it can be, will eventually subsume to logic and reason

Fire till you hire? Isnt that the air force way since the end of the cold war ?

thanks for that update, i thought it was very weird, but you never know these days...

Lol i meant the deterioration of the entire situation in general

https://news.yahoo.com/us-marines-handed-over-guns-leaving-yemen-204547431.html kind of unbelievable

Ditto. Id be more stoked if they switched to a 777 platform and got a type rating for that. Cha-ching! $$$

i dont understand how you have to be a certain age to be president, but you can lead the largest most advanced military in the world with zero experience. Im not saying we need only need a military junta, but come on, some of our strongest presidents in history have had military backgrounds there is something to be said about that, having a true understanding of the cost of war etc etc

Why always the hate on the bag? If youre comfortable with your job what should it matter. Honestly how many jobs in the af exist because of the bag warers? As long as everyones treated well and the bag wearers dont exploit stuff whats the harm in the distinction

True. Ill agree with that

if someone is planing a murder do we not arrest them for conspiracy to commit murder?

is this not something that could be shifted to reserve/guard units first? the reserve guys get proficiency, the AF gets lower overhead agressor squadrons

X2. Android

^ x2 If military flyer with ATP, in domicile, you should be applying to all of the majors as well.

I would have to say it would depend on what they are for. slightly over the visual acuity threshold? prob not a big deal. blind in both eyes? not so good

wait do people not like the trailer? ;)

I know some will make up the difference between mil pay and your job pay for up to a year while on orders, there this program that companies sign up for to pledge support for vets. ill look it up, might give you some ammo?
