It's Official, OCPs are Coming!
Wait until the Space Force realizes we have all the Spice here on the Earth

Struggled in UPT?
You may have heard other students and IPs saying, “If you ain’t first, you’re last,” but that’s just not true. You can be second, third, fourth...hell you can even be fifth.

Green bag being phased out?
@FLEA if you hate the flight suit so much, just wear the 2-piece. The rest of us don’t have the same problems you’re experiencing.

US Humans Back in Space
We want lighter weight suits and helmets, but those Space X ones look like shit to me. Plus, there’s no parachute harness, LPUs, helmet tie-down, survival stuff, or helmets that turn. I also want to see one rapid-D in the chamber to 70k’.

For the Vertically Challenged
There are also the ejection seat min/max weight limits, which can’t really be fixed with adjustable pedals.

Brown Nominated to be Next CSAF
Amazing. Seven of those guys never even made it to general or astronaut.

Fingertip and Formation Landings
Complex solutions are the hallmark of a poor problem solver. There are plenty of skills to learn in any trainer that would translate directly to tactical employment in a follow on aircraft.

U-2 Dragonlady info
They were built in 3 batches; all of the ones built in the 50s are in museums or were crashed/shot down. Of a batch built in the 70s (the much larger R models), 4 remain which have been updated as S models. The newest batch was built between 81-89, which brings the currently operating total to around 30. NASA has 2 more of those. Edit: in looking through it further, I thought it was interesting that some didn’t make it into active service until after the Soviet Union dissolved.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Don’t act like those documents, or any others, are perfect stone tablets handed down from God. It takes continuous improvement from all players to make us all better.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Yeah, tankers ain’t fighters ain’t bombers ain’t airlift ain’t U-2s. Vectors to an ILS is an example that makes sense for jets that sometimes need to land in an unsanitized area. His point is that every community can mail it in and get lazy in their own way.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
There’s not enough evidence to draw solid conclusions here, especially as low-SA non-players, because no investigation into Crozier’s actions happened before he was fired. Which is pretty much the reason for the whole argument. It was a knee-jerk emotional firing by the SecNav. There'll probably be an investigation now...

69. Repeated attempts by all parties to problem-solve using public opinion.

Put a trash bag over your head with a rubber band around your neck, that’ll keep that shit out.

Too bad the same guys didn’t publish a tactics bulletin a month ago detailing the best sell strategies for the upcoming drop.

Elon Musk: "The fighter jet era has passed"
Yes? By the way you’ve written it, I’m not sure if you think it’s possible or it’s not.

Elon Musk: "The fighter jet era has passed"
Elon’s vision of air combat is the same as every other internet nerd: Ace Combat and Top Gun. Whatever fancy sensors, data links, and aerodynamics you want to put into a drone, just put it into a LRM instead. Why would I want a drone to be launched by a drone?

Finally done in Afghanistan?
Shit hasn’t worked well in the last 20 years because we’ve been targeting HVIs. “Chopping the head off the snake” is a terrible analogy that makes it seem like everyone else will quit when their leader dies. If you keep killing the guys who have the authority to surrender, there will never be a way out.

E-11A crash in Afghanistan
Of course, I know what taciturnity means, but for those who don’t: - the state or quality of being reserved or reticent in conversation. - Scots Law. the relinquishing of a legal right through an unduly long delay, as by the silence of the creditor. So yeah, you know, being reticent dude. Totally. Which for the dummies out there means: - disposed to be silent or not to speak freely; reserved. - reluctant or restrained. So like when you’re disposed. Which means: - having a certain inclination or disposition; inclined (usually followed by to or an infinitive) Ok fuck I’m lost.

Trends in Air to Air Combat
Just...no. Make more rounds and put a lot of them in a big bomber. Many big bombers. I hope we’re not wasting a damn dollar on making QF-16s into actual lawn darts.

Air Force allows beards & turbans and such
Some retirees care because they’re orienting around a stake they drove at the height of their glory days. Others keep driving new stakes.
