I used to be AMC, now I’m ACC. In AMC we had a complete bullshit “leave lottery” at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years where only 10% of every crew position could be deployed. Fuck those fucks and whoever came up with that. Now I’m ACC and I take leave whenever I want. Although I’m a U-2 guy so YMMV.

The internet is weird. And it’s only going to get weirder as we get older. Imagine responding directly to one of Robin Olds’ forum posts bitching about finance.

well, airline pencil tabs got MAGNUM'd out here today. Not an airline guy, but considering the bent of the SECAF letter was the presumed liability of whatever ethno/race-identifying historical patches were still in presumed circulation, homing-on-jam on the airline/"outside agencies" thing was the weirdest flex to say the least. 🤷♂️

Never get advice from people who aren’t in the U-2 program about the U-2 program. Just call up and talk to the recruiting shop.

Guess which language the words Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Espionage come from?

It turns out that, due to the American court system, conspiracy theory propaganda has a limit. Newsmax and Fox News collapsed at the threat of a lawsuit and clarified that the voting machine conspiracy theories postulated on their programs have no basis in fact. Stop supporting those who would lie and mislead, regardless of political affiliation.

Extremely interesting reading. They’ve even got the B-17 -1 in there for reference. Damning testimony from the survivors, especially the one who happens to be an expert in 4-engine propeller TOLD and passenger handling with years of military leadership experience.
Limited budgets don’t make for great training environments.

From the article, The Space Force motto is “Sempa Supra,” or “Always Above” and, according to Pence, President Trump is its “founder.”
So, if you are on the moon, are you above Earth, or is Earth above the moon? Is there an "up" side to the galaxy? If creatures from two planets are looking up at each other, who's above? Also, I thought Congress made the Space Force, just like they made the Air Force.
Possibly sort of.

And on August 30, 2003, she became the first woman to score in a Division I-A game when she kicked two extra points against Texas State University in the fourth quarter of a 72–8 New Mexico win. So technically she is the first woman to score points in a P5 game (the term, not officially "recognized" by the NCAA, started around 2006)...
So Hnida was the first and Power 5 is made up. The is the real convo

maybe the report will include the servers in Germany and the green berets that died there trying to get it.
WTF happened to my party. States rights...when convenient. Law and order...when convenient. Proud Boys running around like Brown Shirts. Don't give whataboutism about Antifa...there's police for dealing with them.
Constitution...nah, keep screaming 4-more-years.
Don’t worry man, most of your party are still the Silent Majority. They voted for Trump, but they know he lost, and now are appalled watching the Alex Jones crowd act like total fools. It is disappointing to see Republican leadership sit idly by and not throw down on the embarrassing factions.

Here’s a group of bunch of Trump’s personality cult clowns that think the election was stolen. They hate the GOP now.
Don’t be in this group.

Yup, this happened to me, in the BX food court, by the Wing Command Chief, lol. I also has my sleeves pushed up. It was amazing!

Oh, IDK, think back to a point in your own lives when someone who had no SA on your intent analyzed the hell out of a thing you did once. She doesn’t even have a trend line yet.

You guys are analyzing one GD kick. Maybe wait until she kicks a few more.

You know, you can still be a Trump supporter while also realizing he lost the election due to being very unpopular.
But at some point, you’ll have to let it go. Trump himself will be working “the election was rigged” quibbles into every conversation he has for the rest of his life. Don’t lump yourself into that boat.

The safety of these cars is incredible. That was a horrific crash.
I’d say he was well on the side of leaning on luck vs engineering there. Considering he went through the Armco, he could’ve just as easily been pinned under it while on fire.

You guys realize that these are professional quibblers, right?

BEs were always the best. Especially with a basic crew as God intended. No home station bullshit. No TACC bullshit. Just go somewhere and fly as required for a week. Fill the tanks every time, free gas for everyone.

A bit of a drift from the Shaw crash topic, but still relevant.
My time at Travis thankfully ended 6 years ago, but I remember a lot of wasted effort primarily designed to lick Travis’s own balls. 4x KC-10s would launch in both the morning and evening, all flying 5 hour sorties and burning 100k lbs of gas to maintain C-17 and C-5 AR currency. Entire AR tracks would be consumed by non-current reservists bobbling around in pre-contact for an hour solely for the extremely unlikely chance that someone would ask a C-5 (or a non-airdrop C-17) to do AR operationally.
At the same time, mission commanders at LFEs are struggling to figure out fallout plans in case 1 of the half-full -135s no-shows. God forbid if the only one left is drogue-only. The idea that half of D$N night or NH may have to RTB early for lack of available airborne fuel is downright shameful. And now, reading that West Coast fighter units and FTUs don’t have enough tanker availability to maintain basic fighter AR quals, it’s even more apparent that the priorities are out of whack.
Maybe it’s all fixed now, it’s been a while.

KC-10s are in need of night fighters all the time. I’ll see if our barrel can reach out to yours.
Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile appHow is there always a shortage of tankers at LFE vuls? I swear the -135 patches won’t graduate unless they gnat’s ass the fuel to the pound. Then someone’s TCAS breaks and the whole thing is a wreck.

I used to have a civilian job before I decided one day to apply for an OTS pilot slot. I don’t know your background, but to those here that have only known the Air Force as a job in their adult lives (or a kush airline pilot gig afterwards that was enabled by your AF job), I would caution that the civilian world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
In fact, it can be unimaginable doldrums where entire years run together into the same memory, and then you die. Even a non-flying AF job has more excitement than 99% of the jobs out there. It’s like an Air Force staff job, except that the things you’re doing are not important whatsoever. Maybe at staff you’re just a cog in the military machine (“Why am I working on Afghanistan stuff, we shouldn’t even be there. Balancing this stupid $690m budget”) but as an average civilian you’re more like a cog on a worn out typewriter that has already been donated to Goodwill and no one’s told you. You’re certainly not doing stuff that kids would be interested in during career day.
Plus the constant financial stress of things like a recession, COVID, and company underperformance that has nothing to do with you. Some kind of Neutron Jack comes in and deletes entire divisions overnight, college grads first. Civilian workers are cast offs and liabilities that take money directly from their bosses wallets. Your Air Force boss might be an asshole, but not like that.
All I’m saying is the grass ain’t greener, and I wouldn’t stop any of my kids from joining the military. Well maybe except the Army.
