Russian Ukraine shenanigans
It's significant. Thankfully we never have, but that's 100% because we opt to do our fighting on the other sides of the ponds. As a graduate of the Army's airspace control course...this is entirely accurate. They understand joint airspace so well that they assume they'll get a coord altitude up the flight levels during a near peer conflict so they won't have to decon counterbattery fire with the USAF. It's so far beyond laughable as to make one cry tears of grief for both the blue air they're going to shoot down, and the ground troops who won't get the air support they'll need.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
That's my hometown. EGR is decidedly not representative of the GRR writ large. They actively police up and relocate the homeless to downtown because that's where the shelters are. Heaven forbid the old money get exposed to the unwashed masses. I will agree that GRR is pretty will run, but the secret is that moderate stance...but they also do an excellent job of hiding the rot...and there is a LOT of rot in GRR.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
Was there when he actively refused to do a defensive maneuver on his checkride because...expendables...and subsequently attempted to restrict all LRF ops to 30 degrees AoB. Good thing he only topped out at GO.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
Be sure to drop that one on the squadron WO when you show up. It turns out that experience is rather important when it comes to creating a well thought-out opinion on various subjects. You can think whatever you want about a subway event where none of us were present. You're welcome to completely ignore the fact that some dudes on this board have significant real world experience and have had to make lethal-force decisions in real time, and might actually have some insight to the injustice and horrible long term social implications of this subway case. That aside, jumping directly to "old people's opinions don't matter" is another thing, and only serves to display your youth, arrogance and ignorance. Rule number one: Never pass up the opportunity to keep your mouth shut. Good luck out there kid.

Seriously. Robert Heinlein was right. Not say'in I'm just sayin': I'm down for the "I fought to defend it, so I'll fight to rebuild it" portion of the country.

Not anymore. He's clearly graduated. Why do you think he was silent so long. Execs aren't allowed on their own social media.- Laughlin UPT info

Dude, I'm so glad you're back!- Gun Talk
Yup. I just got a G48 and I'm a fan so far. The only thing I like about the SIG 365 is how the semi-double stack makes it fit in my hand a little better.- Gun Talk
Ok. Can we admit that this is an exchanging of fire between two nitwits? Gaetz is an inept political tactician that leans on emotional support that he doesn't really have and a wit that doesn't exist. No doubt that Dettelbach is also completely inept. Gaetz had a non-maneuvering target, 2x AIM-9X, and STILL trashed the shots.- The Next President is...
Seriously. The democratic party can do WAY better. Please. For the love of our country. Do not put this guy back in charge for another 4 years.

How much of your training was on VR? How many real airplane sorties did you get? Did you have to wear the sombrero? How do the instructors feel about the new training (from your student perspective)? Are FAIPs tools? *it's a yes or yes question* Does it suck? - Army aviators get kicked in the nads
