[Paging Steve Davies]

Yep. That checks.

Also, since I'm close to Kunsan, the nerds decided to route me around the world to Shaw to "optimize my connection."

[Track Selects and Assignment Nights]

I swear the window lickers at A1 think the only purpose a CAF squadron fills is turning new LTs into "experienced" 11Fs, thereby feeding the need for all the non-CAF "high priorities."

Remember back when the CAF was all about combat capability?

[Paging Steve Davies]

This is now the fvck functional check thread.

.

Looks like I'm not good to go either.

BaseOps member since 2003, but I'm not allowed by the computer to speak my mind?

Fvck your fvcking safe space.

[What's wrong with the Air Force?]

Holy shit, man. That sure explains the "loss of confidence" firing in February.

Innocent until proven guilty, of course.

[Security Clearance questions]

So meta.

[More SARC briefings soon.]

[More SARC briefings soon.]

It's too bad Secretary Carter doesn't understand that he can't fix the fighter pilot shortage with Eagle pilots alone.

[Brexit]

No way, man...he's an objective comedic reporter who just LOVES calling out any and all politicians for their bullshit. That's why he's been all over the corruption and scandals that surround the Clinton campaign...oh...wait a tic...uh...hm...

[What's wrong with the Air Force?]

The funny thing about making a competent leader with 15+ years of experience is that it takes 15+ years.

[CAS Integration Group @ Nellis]

Fat Amy = strike grape?

If so, I love it.

[What's wrong with the Air Force?]

Rumor has it that this kid is a giant douche who had a history. This was just the last straw...

[New BAH rates are out.]

It'll drive up costs on all rental properties, just like it does overseas.  Again, it's going to screw the lowest ranking Airmen and dual-mil families the most.  The MOAA article showing actual changes in compensation is the best write up of it I've seen.

Link?

[Thunderbird AND Blue Angel Crash?]

I lost my cussing privileges in the last update. Fvcking travesty.

[Thunderbird AND Blue Angel Crash?]

Rumor mill says that Nellis has been told not to expect the T-Birds at this year's November show. Has the T-Birds season been canxed?

[Blue Angel Crash]

G-induced Loss Of Consciousness = GLOC

(Just because reading "G-lock" 3 times made my eye twitch.)

[Thunderbird crash, pilot reported ok]

Do the math, di1630:

Take the number of throttles in your cockpit,

Multiply that by the number of ejection seats.

Then take THAT number and multiply it by the number of vertical stabs.

If your final product is anything greater than one, you play the skin flute.

[A true patriot! Check out this ABM...]

My friend is a retired finance troop, but he'd like to borrow a flight helmet for his campaign for county clerk. Anyone able to hook him up?

I'm asking for a friend...

[Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect]

Go with quals or STFU.

[A true patriot! Check out this ABM...]

An ENJJPT patch, and on the right shoulder?

[Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)]

We should just reduce our pilot rest requirements to free up a couple more hours per day for queep. That'll fix it.

[Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect]

Sure, Chang. You guys at A1 have only had about 15 years to figure this out. I'm sure if we just wait a little more, you'll get it right this time.

[Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)]

If true, that's some world class trolling.

I hope it's trolling...

[SOS/ACSC information]

Premium pay?

Squawk IDENT with AFSC or STFU and let the adults talk.

[Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)]

Adrenaline eventually wears off. The hangover is staff work and 365s to Al Udied for no reason.

[F-22 Raptor info]

Raptor to Japan/Israel will never happen. Aussies are a maybe.
