He completed his astronaut training in 2020 and was awaiting a flight assignment with the Artemis program as of January 2020.

HH60 Whiskey is a prime example of barely "good enough". Bringing USAF into the 20th century with PR capes.

This wasn't the run of the mill IFE. There was absolutely nothing a phone number was going to do in this situation to assist or help the crew or anyone else. These guys/gals were assholes and elbows troubleshooting and running multiple checklists. Just clear the airspace around them and leave em' be.

All crew safe. Tanker put it down in a field. Pretty amazing. Looks like possible single engine? Hard to fathom. https://news.usni.org/2020/09/29/marine-f-35b-crashes-after-collision-with-kc-130-over-california-all-aircrew-recovered-safely

Yes. In my flying career I have been briefed on multiple sister service safety investigations reports.

They are available through the safety channels.

Shaw F-16 report is out as well. Lots of lessons learned.

Longest ADSC for enlisted is 4 years but the way I read the reg, there is no ADSC for what he did.

2020 Base pay only.

I don't get it?

Correct

No

I surrender

I've got a set. No problems for the last year or so.

She's female, "did two tours in Iraq", isn't hard leaning either way, and was on Rogan 🙂

Quibbling. There is zero justification or legality for homeboy to roll down your street and shoot at you with ANYTHING for not obeying an order issued less than 15 seconds from being shouted out. I would have had the exact same reaction as the people filming.

I don't know. Kind of got the hot in a "have dogs set upon you before blasting you with a ZSU" look

Yup. Pretty easy to sit at home or wherever drawing a full paycheck while flying a few lines here and there.

Oh we're being serious here?

Your privilege is showing

Not much of a mission to hack when half of the boat is lining the halls sick

He won't be fired for long.

There are informal "no contact unless felony level or above" orders for a lot of police departments.

Ditto.
