The confusion on my part was the barrel roll in close trail vs extended trail. The video posted helped clear that up. As for the two aircraft being different, I did a google search and your post checks lol.
-
Just know that in the T-6 you can’t be that close, that’s why I was surprised. Back in my T-37 days as a stud I remember the IPs occasionally doing ET3 and if I had to guess the range was similar to that of the T-6.

You’re doing barrel rolls over a T-38 1-2 ship lengths away?
-
In the T-6 it’s extended trail vs close trail. How close is close trail in the 38?
-
In close trail? Damn that would be close!
-
Yeah, but you have an iPad/FF…I’d trust that by itself in a pinch!

Solid analysis—concur.

Apparently the NAACP believes Florida is hostile to black people and black people should avoid traveling there. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/naacp-issues-florida-travel-advisory-its-hostile-to-black-americans/?fbclid=IwAR35ZzlvvNb6nKenJ6LmJdiLoH7dF2dcA_NlAc-MyBNkxJx0pR1W3PpiuO4_aem_th_AfDupOme7EF41e5OYX_WsMS5DAnjoO38uiIfu2bh8APAu57B6tQH886IM5WLpmnx9oc&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Biden screwed himself/the Dems saying he would only sign a clean bill. The GOP passed a bill to raise the debt and if McCarthy allows for a clean bill to go forward, his control and speakership is done. My prediction: It won’t be a clean debt raise. Even in 2011/2012 the debt raise showdown was eventually tied to future triggers to cut/slow the spending growth (sequestration). And I don’t see Biden using the 14th Amendment since Congress controls the spending.

Predictions with the debt limit fight?

Can you provide definition of the word “woman”?

Oh it’s messed up for sure, but that’s where we’re at. Eventually if it’s gets bad enough, then a strong majority of people will say it needs to stop. But we’re not even close to that point yet, so the insanity not only continues, it will get much worse.

Follow these simple steps: 1) Don’t go to NYC, if you do, don’t ride the subway 2) Keep to yourself…it’s not worth helping other random people against a criminal, especially if you’re in an area/state that values race above all else and also cares about criminals over others 3) If someone is attacking you, hopefully you’re not in a city/county/state (as mentioned in #2), but if you need defend yourself, make sure you’re verbally telling the criminal/people around you that you’re fearing for your life, etc before you take action if you can. Im definitely not an attorney, but this seems to make some sense these days.

We are truly living in an era where just about anyone can feel like they’re a victim for one reason or another. One of those areas is the “haves vs have nots”…the enlisted, more specifically the younger ones, can easily believe they’re part of the “have nots”, especially when compared to the officers. But like you said, if a young enlisted member plays it smart, they can easily exponentially improve their pay, education, skills, etc in not a long time. But hey, it’s easier to play the victim card or tell people they’re a victim.

I think the OP should ask his soon to be T-1 IPs for their advice… -
A 2Lt with 4 kids is going to struggle as well. Life choices include proper family planning. I grew up in the 80s and was one of 4 kids…before my mom went back to work full time, money was extremely tight. I had an older sister, so all my clothes were hand me downs from neighbors. Tuna fish casserole and spaghetti were common dinners…that and sometimes pancakes, or grilled cheese and tomato soup. Rarely ever went out for dinner, to include fast food. Only time I ever got a new toy was my birthday or Xmas, and it definitely wasn’t excessive. Only vacation was driving once every couple of years to see our cousins a few states away. My parents were never on food stamps…maybe they could have, but that’s not what they wanted. And my father was a civil engineer. What I’m saying is that our culture today (including those in the military) is to make excuses for those who make less than good choices. Living an early life that is less than ideal teaches you and your kids many important lessons.

You keep saying you’re done, I’ve lost all credibility, blah blah blah. And you keep swearing because you’re so upset…are you ok? Honestly? Like I said, I’m all for the enlisted getting paid more. But acting like life choices has nothing to do with those who struggle/their financial woes is completely disingenuous. The most successful enlisted members I worked with lived well below/within their means and made good choices—what does this mean? They had a basic car that was 5-10 years old, they didn’t blow their per diem (and then some) at the bar, they didn’t have a motorcycle in addition to their car, they didn’t go to the strip bars, they’re we’re spending money on different women all the time, they didn’t have tattoos, they were alway taking educational classes, on and on. And the ones that didn’t do as well, well, they did the opposite of all those things and more.

You’re really struggling here man. And if Stewart is so smart on the issue then he wouldn’t have been so wrong on stats.
-
Yet you didn’t refute anything that I said…you just got emotional and yet said I was the one who lost all credibility. And who was the one quoting an entertainer who wasn’t even close to being accurate? I’ll give you another chance: Why are the majority of enlisted members not on food stamps? What are they doing differently than those who are on food stamps?
-
Nah, you’re just not able to make a credible argument without appealing to emotions. Life is about choices…if you’re an E-4 with a stay at home wife and 2-3 kids, yeah, you might not be earning a high enough income to support your desired life style…especially if you’re also not making the best financial decisions.
-
If you’re trying to make a serious argument, then I would leave out the excessive exaggerations. Oh, and here’s a question: For the enlisted who are on food stamps, how many of these same members have car payments for cars they purchased over $5K, have video games, have a tv/phone newer than mine, buy alcohol, etc. Plenty of enlisted are not on food stamps—be pretty interesting to compare the lives of those on them vs not on them. Life is all about choices. That all being said, do I think the enlisted should be paid more? Sure. But let’s not pretend that many who struggle financially always make the best life choices.
-
Mind providing a source that says half of military members are on food stamps?

UPT student to his class: “I heard the term “echo chamber” the other day, does anyone know what that means?”

Filling slots is not usually the problem…the Air Force hasn’t run out of qualified people who want to become pilots. The retention is where the failure is. If Air Force pilots will separate at 15-16 years to go airlines, then I’m sure the Army pilots will do the same.
