Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training
Master Training Strategery: Make the training realistic to MDS/MWS', give them the most outdated trainer, divergently provide lots of flight hours (in VR/AR) but somehow even more useless non-flight CBTs or record management monitor duties, offer them promotion hope only via Exec/aide de camp/CAG/social aide positions before winging and tell them to suck it up and don't f*** it up after winging, maybe pro-solo if you're nice. Then blame aircrew when they run afoul, next release a BtB SRF/FCIF (because they might have forgot what they didn't learn by staying at the Holiday Inn Express run by contract on-base) and modify dress and appearance regs change as cherry on top; Ensure the video explanantion is mandatory to watch. Lastly, amend the retention/take rate tracker to make the slides green by changing the denominator, to variable a demoninator of course. Oh, all the while 19th is making short-lived experiments/SGTOs to buy time until the staff PCS' and/or seperates (chaff). But overall you must kill all aircrew traditions, rationale, and culture at any cost; best done by making aircrew do all ADCON functions themselves for themselves to keep them busy with other than aircrew duties. Wait until next recession to hire unsuspecting FNGs.

They're designed to be free fall-airdropped! And its fun!! Its is, or was, one of those pesky design, not-so-gold-gold-plating requirements of MREs. Ask any good Herk Bubba for a beef stroganoff or chili-mac (or choice) MRE as the training drop if you find yourself DZCO. PI for better tasting airdrop, if recoverable. Hit the RAM PI if it has lemon poppyseed poundcake. Also, some MREs look like BLU-97 or CBU-87. They're not so fun to eat, inshallah. Army was probably dropping 'Frankfurters, Beef, Menu #6' MRE - gross. Those are the IDGAF airdrops. Drop score...off DZ, unrecoverable.- NFL Conference Championships

Access to greater sovereign control (and yes minerals) and Anti-Access via UEWR as well as blocking via EEZ/contiguous/territorial waters are what come to mind. BLUB: more regional control and security via sovereign control. Akin to China's 9-dash line, albeit containing Panama Canal shipping choke point (i.e. global L.o.C.) and IVO Northern Passage, (bonus for more arctic region vs. 9-line). If I were to bar-napkin it, it'd be a 10 dash line! Break/ So when are we going to build the One-American-Road (ex. North to South America) vs the BRI (i.e. One-Belt, One-Road) and quit playing around with these reduced-regional matters!? Go trans-global, full region like China's BRI. That's geopolitical parity. I see it coming in our lifetimes via coalition, alliances, or other in our lifetimes while on this present geopolitical vector.- What's wrong with the Air Force?

When extremely cold or hot, expect 60% battery range/duration. And greatly increased charging times when cold- The Next President is...
As-in the rapidly declining economy, and escalating UKR-Russ war, amoungst several other matters....checks they are accelerating near-term-end actions/decisions. To be fair, so do most administrations. Watch them blame the other party next election cycle, and skirt accusations of their policies driving over a preverbial cliff then handing over the controls midair. Will they be in the seats upon 'impact'? Probably not, that's next guy's problem! Very short sided however. Hopefully unlike Americans' memories.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans

And it fell spectacularly in-place, like a professionally dropped, old Vegas casino. Might have even had a nearby drone-show beforehand too!- The Next President is...
Who cares when you have permanent, life-long, armed personal protection from U.S. Secret Service via Former President's Protection Act of 2012? That's better than non-sharpshooting, triggerhappy USAF SF or USA MP gateguards...probably most of the time...save places like Putler, Bennsylvania. https://www.secretservice.gov/about/faq/general "By law, the Secret Service is authorized to protect: Former presidents, their spouses, except when the spouse re-marries"- What's wrong with the Air Force?

Some upheld, most not via secondhand knowledge, save firsthand experience below. In my neck-of-the-woods, I kept one program promise true for one my AFPAK troops, the only thing in my authority at the time. - Mid-Air Collision in DC
