  1. How "smoking hot" does she have to be to not know the history? Pics would probably be helpful...
  2. Don't worry, I'm sure getting rid of the traditional 20-year retirement next year will fix all these problems...
  3. Can't say that there has 'never' been, but I'm not aware of one in 15+ years. The vast majority of Army pilots are warrant officers, and though I'm sure the AF 'could' make it happen, you're probably not going to see a WO flying AF aircraft. And bringing over a young Army Captain to fly the line in the AF would screw their career. Just my $.02

    Unfortunately I'm willing to bet that you will not. The problem I see with this bill is thst there is not definitive verbiage that states that supressors are removed from the NFA list. So it will allow Trump to order his ATF and federal law enforcement agencies to not treat supressors as an NFA item, however, the next Dem in office can just reverse the order.

    Did the GOP just slip an amendment into the FDA spending bill to remove suppresses from the NFA list? https://dailycaller.com/2017/07/13/pro-second-amendment-measure-passes-house-through-fda-funding-bill/
  6. Insert Indiana Jones "Top Men" meme here...
  7. Exactly, hence it is not a "single engine" problem...
  8. So why aren't there more T-6 Class As?
  9. I couldn't help but notice that the person's real name is SSgt 'Buch'...
  10. Again, I'm not aware of any court challenges by those who disagreed with the Senate...perhaps I missed it?
  11. No, he's going to Tyndall.
  12. The vast majority of rated O-5s not picked up for command are not going to staff. For example, there's a reason why PIT is full of O-5 non-commanders...
  13. Could be similar to commanders being required to allow enlisted to re-enlist. Giving local commanders more control/say over personnel issues is usually a good thing...
  14. Sure it does. If it doesn't, then why didn't the Supreme Court step in and make a ruling that the Senate had to offer a hearing?
  15. Maintenance officers have very little training in hands on mx/technician skills.
  16. I know, right!? I mean, DVD players are more expensive than ever these days...
  17. Does anyone on here really think we should continue to stay in Afganistan? Have we learned anything from the past 15 years?
  18. That's the requirement in the PSDM...
  19. Currently in AETC the Wing Commander ultimately decides who gets non-vol'd on a 6-mos deployment. Before then, rated guys at AETC staff were doing this as an additional duty. Just an example where a 'personnelist' is not making those calls...
  20. Ok...now I realize that Chang is a pilot with awesome trolling techniques. A personnelist (regardless of posistion in a wing) would never have the power/authority to "non-vol" a rated flyer to any deployment. This would have to go through the OG and ultimately be cleared by the wing commander. Well played, Chang, well played...
  21. Yeah...never going to happen. The military is a reflection of our culture/society, and in a country where now everyone gets to play a victim, have safe spaces, be offended at everything and anything, etc...the military is just following suit.
  22. Wait, you're suggesting it's not a military fixed wing program, yet you don't know how long the training is, what it encompasses, etc? And yes, it's definitely longer than one month. I assume you're thinking of the program to train AF pilots for C-12 air attaché positions.
  23. What do you call the Army C-12 fixed wing program?

    Nice--what kind of MP5 clone and what sized barrel? Zenith?
  25. Come on Toro, you know certain airframes are losing guys at faster rates than others. Each MDS has its own culture/flavor and this largely plays into the lifestyle piece--whether positively or negatively. Again, if it was all about the mission of the MDS, guys would be staying in...
