  1. So how good was the flight attendant “mishap” before the unintentional decent?!
  2. Young guys are in a tough spot, not like there’s a bunch of TXs floating around the guard right now. But, even they can hop on the airline train if they desire, but understandably that’s usually the furthest from your mind as a young fighter pilot. Good luck boys, hope you get to wherever you want to end up.
  3. There’s a balance to what I’m about to say, but a while ago people went through life acknowledging that everyone has shit happen to them, has a hard day/week/month/year, etc. People sucked it up and persevered, because there was no other good option. The weak ones didn’t make it. And that was life. Nowadays, there’s so much push for therapy and talking about feelings, and it’s OK to be sad and confused and blah blah - how about sack up and get on with life. I mean the first thing I said, which is there’s a balance. I’m not anti-mental health and taking care of it. But when I see large majorities of people not being able to handle their fragile emotions, I have to say most of them just need to suck it up and stop being weak little candy asses. But they won’t, because our society and culture enables them to be weak. Leave the mental health work for those who truly need it, and not for every swinging dick who’s simply a pussy because they were never taught an ounce of resiliency.
  4. Hard to say, but probably fairly equal when averaged out (assuming full time guard). Guard maintenance is way better on average, so that probably gives an edge to the guard guys. All subjective feelings, not based on data.
  5. Yep, that probably applies to 99% of the Army. I can count on one hand the number of Army dudes I’ve worked with who I think actually have a clue about what they can and should do in PACOM. I’m also primarily talking regular Army. Higher functioning SOF dudes are a different story.
  6. Very subjective as no two careers look the same. I probably had around 1500 hrs fighter time at my 10 yr point (~1800 TT including UPT/a year of BIT). That was all AD. My rough guess is a full time guard guy in fighters gets around 169 hrs per year if not deployed; add some more hours for a deployment year.
  7. Not to mention additional capes the Army provides in that AOR. It’s just a shame the DOD gives said capes/missions to a bunch of dumbasses (not to say there are no smart people involved, but they are an extreme minority).
  8. Makes getting flagged by Joe’s 240 in the chow hall not seem as bad in comparison.
  9. ( . )( . ) fixed it for you…I’ll see myself out.
  10. To be fair, look at Keith Richards, Ozzy, and grandpa who smoked 3 packs a day from age 12 and is still alive at 103. Outliers exist.
  11. Army: O-6+ are mostly complete retards Air Force: O-6+ are mostly pussies Navy: O-6+ are mostly closet C-suite at Grindr Marines: Actually kind of have their shit together, but are too poor to do much
  12. Oh look, another retired GO talking out of his ass, I’m shocked!
  13. He doesn’t have access to USAF flight phys or flight med. Not sure what equivalent exists in the civ world outside of AME, who I’ve never heard of doing physio type stuff (but maybe there are some?)
  14. OTS? I guess I could see that, but OTS has always been the worst way to get to flying from a probability of success perspective. Any other route to flying isn’t going to care.
  15. The AF doesn’t give a shit about degree type or pedigree, just that you check the box to commission.
