What? Who the eff is talking about PRFs a YEAR out from a (supposed) board?! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Compared to the GBU-44? Yes. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

What training was the ADSC for? Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Copy, thanks. So not actually 9 commanders.

So who are the other commanders that were fired? All the reports are "nine commanders fired" but even including the #2s mentioned, Wg/CC, Gp/CC, Gp/CD, and 4 Sq/CCs is only 7. And based on the above article it seems like the Wg/CC may not be being counted in that 9 number. So who else got the axe? Are they lumping some DOs into that jumper as well?

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Sinek's "Leaders Eat Last" and your comment reminded me of a story he tells in the book about "The Ceramic Cup". A great commentary on getting caught up in the "trappings" of high office. Was able to find the excerpt online: https://www.inc.com/simon-sinek/how-humility-can-be-your-secret-weapon-as-a-boss.html "Leaders Eat Last" is a phenomenal read. As is his first book "Start With Why" if you haven't already read it.

What's the story?

Pretty sure the guys who have dodged bullets and missiles in the current conflicts, and ESPECIALLY those that returned without their wingmen, would tell you to go fuck yourself.

None of this is news. It's been the plan for a while. Most of the aircraft mentioned are being replaced by new aircraft, not "cut".

That is the most shoeclerkiest bio in history.....

If Liquid is who I think he is, I'm gonna go with him over an artist rendering that's been around since about 2 years before the 235 was even put together.

This.

Anyone know if the Ospreys were AF or Marine?

"Low profile" base?

That's English for you. "It only took me a bat of an eye to kill the bat with a bat."

Because mustache regs were EXACTLY what Gen Welsh was talking about...

Agreed. I think the "...." at the end implies a sigh, not a criticism. Especially if this Chief has street cred like you mentioned.

This is exactly the reason they delayed the 05 board.

Last year was 1 Nov. Obviously it will be later this year...

Looks like they're going to broadcast the final Goblet Ceremony live online. 9 Nov, 1800 EST https://www.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/467365/public-activities-part-of-doolittle-raiders-final-toast-weekend-at-national-mus.aspx

So what exactly were they doing? The article is a little unclear. Were they claiming they were on TDY when they weren't or claiming they were on AD when they weren't? Both? Edited for autocorrect buffoonery.

...until the cartels show up...

One more shout out for Dave Devine. Streamline refi on a house in FL - Dave beat every other offer I had received with nothing out of pocket and very minimal closing costs rolled into the loan. Dropped my payment by $300 a month. Very fast turnaround from first phone call to closing (less than a month), extremely courteous and excellent communication throughout. My only complaint is I wish I had called him six months ago when rates were even lower! Highly recommended.

The best "wedding ring" story I've heard was an article in a safety magazine about a F-18 guy who had got his ring caught in the canopy and subsequently lost his finger. The best part was post-incident his squadron renamed him.....to "Shocker"

I believe he was referencing this SNL skit: https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=979_1349562393 ***Due to other stuff on LiveLeak, link is NSFW.***
