uhhello

FST is voluntary and refusing has no automatic repercussions. Cop can still arrest you for DUI with probable cause. You can then take the station breathalyzer or blood test. Refusing either is implied consent violation and 180 day suspension appealable after 15 days.

They've tried the 'upgrade' process already. Anything short of a full buyback won't pass muster with general public. Anything they do will open them to further lawsuits. Unless there is some new testing that completely removes responsibility from the gun itself, it's not going to be pretty.

Does anyone in the states do roadside breathalyzer's anymore?

If a cop is asking you to do FST, he already thinks you’re going to fail. He’s just looking for more proof.

SIG came in WAY under what the other test submissions offered. It also offered the modular functionality that the others didn't.

The added manual safety doesn't have any effect on the M18 over the 320. The 320 was/is having issues without the manual safety. You aren't wrong that the safety is a dumb govt requirement though.

From what I've been able to read, all the FBI testing was essentially inconclusive due to the testing requirment modifications that needed to be done to the guns. Couldn't entirely rule out that the modifications didn't exacerbate the problem. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Zero reason to field/employ this system because of that. The AF got 125,000 M18s for about $150 a pop.

Army carry conditions are tailored to the lowest common dumbass. For some reason the AF carry condition is tailored to the af patrol cop in the hood of base housing.

Well this is gonna get REAL interesting https://www.warren.af.mil/News/Releases/Article/4251188/90th-missile-wing-confirms-on-base-airman-fatality/ Confirmed M18 discharge while in the holster apparently being set down on desk. Global Strike has mandated no M18 use until investigation complete. I'm sure the other commands will follow suit.

The daughter was making tik toks capitalizing off of it the next day 🙂 Edit: Turns out he doesn't have a daughter and some entrepreneuristic chick is saying she is

The years of delay and lack of prosecution makes it pretty clear that all parties and folks are involved in some aspect.

Perfect. Yeah i'm not saying the boom pod setup had anything to do with the latest mishap, just more why the fuck they did it in the first place. Thanks.

Does anyone know where the push for the remote boom pod came from? From cursory searches, no space was gained by moving it forward. What was gained by seemingly complicating the process?

There is always at least one

We have to deal in reality. Siri integration can come in later versions.

I think the whole point of the operation was EVERYONE was involved. Hence no pushback from anyone over the age of 30.

Hear me out here. Lets just give the tower or ground crews universal fuel shutoff switches to aircraft engines. Every guy on the line and in the tower has kill switch app on their phone. Problem solved.

Graphic said 2x 22 and 2x 35 but I only saw 3. Solid 10 seconds post anthem. okay. 10 percent rule.

Terrible TOT for All Star game flyover

Need one of you airliner guys to do some scientific work here. Need times from cutoff to non lethal fan speed. Only way this is getting solved.

Looks like they had just pushed back too so were probably heads in getting started

It always has been and will be the easy target to 'get after' instead of doing substantial reform.

Is he they guy in the pilot uniform doing videos? If so, I don't watch just for that fact alone.

Pretty crazy. Lots of videos that confirm this view.

Been there three times and each time is fantastic. Made it one year on the anniversary. Got to talk to some D-Day vets. Pointe Du Hoc is absolutely bonkers what was accomplished.
