  1. Who said they were the only ones? The media and some blogging fanboys? Adversary surveillance is a problem all over the place.
  2. An observation amongst people I know is conservatives actively avoid pollsters and liberals do not. Obviously that’s not 100% applicable across all voters, but it is interesting when you look at polls with that observation in mind.
  3. Because we prioritized money on the below. At least 3 flying at any one time IVO Chinese territory, mostly undetectable across multiple spectrums. Most Chinese reports of UAPs are this or the F-35s associated with it. Bottom line, have to prioritize funds somewhere. FAFO Xi…
  4. Wonder if the guy who made the slides is also the one who tells students about the “real AF” or when they “get into the CAF/MAF/AFSOC, it’s going to be like _____.” Those were the best FAIPs.
  5. She’s way better than the Dem’s current options, but she is an establishment politician through and through - a lot of people, myself included, do not like that.
  6. Just got all the sheet rock hung at the house build - my house is stealthy AF!
  7. The only way is when all the warriors out there tell the pussies in leadership something like, “GFY, we’re doing it this way and if you don’t like it, come on out here and strap a jet on and fly west.” There are some absolute retards in PACAF, and the counter will be the bros with a few good O-6s who get shit done the right way.
  8. It can’t be repeated enough - Biden/Harris admin is completely negligent and incompetent. No rational person sees all of this bullshit and thinks, “yep, we’re on the right track and I want 4 more years of this.”
  9. Regarding the hurricane related efforts, at best the Biden-Harris admin is grossly negligent and incompetent, and at worst is acting maliciously. It is absolutely insane and anti-American what they are doing/not doing down there. The buck stops with leadership, Biden/Harris are ultimately to blame for this colossal fuck show.
  10. Pictured: Huggy when he is told 700’ is dog shit position quality
  11. Probably meant Hill Reserves
  12. @Lord Ratner Please tell me if you fly with one of those you then say something like, “my apologies Captain dude.” Never have flown with a dude who wants to be addressed as captain, but I don’t doubt they’re out there. Seems to be fleet dependent a lot at DAL, at least from bro rumors.
  13. I agree with you mostly, just saying there are things that have been, and will continue to be, accomplished that have prevented strategic/national level negative things from occurring. Again, not said in defense of all the shitheads (civ and mil) who are in charge, but just saying good accomplishments do occur at the strategic/national level - they’re just not advertised (and they’re the minority compared to all the dumbassery and failure).
  14. I get your angst, and I’m right there with you bashing all the bullshit, but we sure as fuck have a better/different world than we would have if XYZ hadn’t been accomplished. It’s just that XYZ much of the time is purposely not well circulated knowledge. That’s not an excuse for all the idiocy and failures, but good stuff still happens and great things are accomplished at times.
  15. The old “if you wear sunglasses on your head, how can I trust you to fly an airplane” form of “leadership.” Bottom line, this guy is a complete non-mission oriented pussy. He’ll go far in this AF.
  16. Diddy’s bottle of baby oil: Biff’s “bottle”:
  17. Today to hired: 2 yrs (most do more than that, but we’ll assume 2 for now) Hire to actually start UPT: 1-2 years, best case currently UPT to FTU grad: 2.5 years Even before the current UPT slot shitshow, it was 3-4 yrs from UPT board to showing back up to squadron. That does not account for the time spent putting apps in, rushing, and interviewing.
  18. Greatest advice any new guy can read here.
  19. Honest answer: I don’t think you have a realistic chance at ANG/AFRC fighters. Age, scores, 16 hrs of flight time, etc. Even if you maxed out scores and had hundreds of hours, your age is nearly a guaranteed deal breaker. If you were hired tomorrow, you wouldn’t show back up to the squadron until age 40…age 40 is very old to be a LT in a fighter squadron and starting at the bottom. Now account for your competition being nearly half your age with phenomenal apps, no kids or businesses to manage, etc. Lastly, UPT slots are in a drought for ANG for the next couple years-ish, so really you’d be 42-43 by the time you’re back at a squadron, and that’s still assuming you got hired in 1-2 years. Honestly I don’t think you’d enjoy that hypothetical life, even if you think you would at this moment in time. My advice is accept reality and do not burn your time/money rushing fighter units. Chase fun/exciting flying on the civ side. It’ll take some time to get there, but there is a lot of awesome flying out there that is exciting and challenging - don’t need a fighter to check those boxes. I cannot speak for heavy units, perhaps they are more open to someone in your position. If you have a strong desire to fly mil, then maybe go that route. Hopefully some heavy bros in the ANG/AFRC will chime in. I know none of this is what you want to hear, but it’s not helpful for someone to blow smoke up your ass.
  20. @Sua Sponte That sounds like par for the course.
  21. How many ex-wives did he have!
  22. How did our society become so egregiously retarded? It’s insane.
