Well, worked for me so mileage may vary

Man, I've read so much on the U2 and SR71 design, history, and ops but shit is still crazy. I hope to god we're innovating like we did in those earlier years.

You have a rosy outlook on violent encounters. We aren't dealing with redcoats vs. colonial army rules of war either.

Grab a 'plastic' gun and smash yourself in the skull. Tell me how it turns out. Also, obligatory quote

I don't know how you guys have the energy

I'm not worried about the fines. Its a general decay in the company since I started with them back in 2003. It was nice to have overseas for insurance and a military 'friendly' company. Since then the products and customer service has plummeted. If I can have my money in one location it makes it easier.

Wow. Nice. Finally getting rid of USAA totally

Looks like Israel was just fibbing about waiting until after passover. Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facility locations just happened.

He's saying his data is from young Army troops who were probably snorting it. Done many a charlie round up to FOB/COPs picking up joes who overdosed on a myriad of everyday supplements.

Army straight pays their folks for them. This is dumb.

Biden says 'take the win'. Despite it taking the weight of the US and other militaries to knock down the great majority prior to the waves reaching Israeli airspace.

Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think any of these guys are running around screaming about them being an ace.

Send John Clark

I would venture to guess that impact points are factored into what inbounds are hit. Prioritized.

I was saying the same thing sitting in the vault for the Al-Assad attack. "no way they do it" 🙂 Never again

Shaed drones, LACM's, and now ballistic missiles enroute

I can think of a thousand random courses that the Air Force makes guys go to that are worthless. If a guy/gal thinks they can get through it, I can't think of a better use of time/money for someone who is motivated and wants to do it. It's the military after all regarldess of service. Spent some time up at Dahlonega working spin up with some teams. Stayed in the cadre dorms and hung out at the instructor bar there. Was a great time. One of the school candidates asked us at chow one morning if we could go find a replacement leatherman for him as he lost it and was going to be in a world of hurt. Said he'd pay us $50 for our trouble 🙂 Quick trip downtown one night and got him his $13 leatherman. Hopefully he made it through.

Aim small (and far away) miss small 🙂

https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/2017/02/13/united-pilot-taken-off-flight-after-rant-election-divorce/97842988/ twitter got me with this today. From 2017. Anyone know the outcome?

We've come a long ways from having to get permission from PA and inform MOCC of being out on flightline taking pictures of aircraft to now EVERY person on base can pretty much do it with impunity.

Hah. Sure. It's pretty heavily documented by open source imagery. Where do you think they are magically getting all this modern equipment? There couldn't possibly be any motive for saying Russia is at the same state they were pre-war?

Great reads

Needs a big more in depth review. Lots of twitter feeds showing the 'reconstitution' involves bottom of the barrel conscripts and mechanized units turned in to rifle units. A lot of the mechanized units are being backfilled not with armor but with light utility vehicles.

I AIN'T TAKING NO BIDEN SHOT
