  1. Exactly how I feel about you pretending to be a pilot.
  2. Pallets of street justice & kinetics you can't talk about? You must have done the super spec ops C17 fighter pilot upgrade, sorry for questioning you Dr. Badass.
  3. Tankers actually support objectives being actioned regularly, airlift/AD rarely plays a direct support role in fighting (at least how you guys do it). Both are important, but it's folly to assume you're always more relevant. Thats true for all of us. OP, hope you get something that makes you happy.
  4. Hoptimum by Sierra Nevada. A 10.4% IPA, definitely my new favorite of their offerings.
  5. Did you read your own link?
  6. Yes, in this case some dudes snuck onto the runway at an austere location and placed an IED. Lucky it didn't kill everyone on board. There's a lot of crazy shit that has gone down in the past 10 years of war, you might not have heard every story.
  7. Also BIP'd the -130 that crashed outside ORBI. And I've seen several random helo's BIP'd. Cheaper, easier, faster.
  8. I'm glad to hear this attitude from so many safety officers. One of my greatest frustrations flying in the Air Force has been the secrecy surrounding safety investigation results.I have never once walked into my safety office, shut the door and successfully been allowed to access and read a safety report. I find it incredibly frustrating that I have easier access to top-secret information than the results of a safety investigation. Mostly the issue is manning, as our safety offices rarely have anybody qualified; this means we are dependent on Wing safety representatives who are not forthcoming or accountable to SQs.
  9. Agreed, location = QOL for my family when I'm deployed; a happy family is the only way I can sustain the 1000+ days deployed I've already accumulated. And a shitty assignment location is the most likely thing to make me punch, despite how much I enjoy the fight. Keeping CVS open and a sole location for numerous AFSOC platforms is a national scandal with a direct negative impact on our ability to prosecute the mission by driving away talent.
  10. Better than most of the reviews I found online; well done & thanks for the write up!
  11. https://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/03/59061.htm More abuse of power. M2, I know you like to assume the best about police but this kind of shit happens way to often man.
  12. Yup. Who knows what really happened? I've seen enough now that my knee jerk reaction is no longer to trust the first version of events I hear given by the party most interested in self preservation.
  13. Just saw an email today for the buy; I think it will be popular and at those prices I might be getting 3! Well done.
  14. IIRC we also had a 99 year lease at balad which didn't end favorably. But maybe my memory is going out from breathing the burn pits; it certainly can't be the bourbon.
  15. Thank you for that story!
  16. I think that was exactly the point Huggy was making; which was mocked but never addressed. So without emotion, can someone tell me what exactly the limits are WRT marriage? It seems we all agree dead people are out. What about 4 brothers, all consenting adults?
  17. Makes about as much sense as restricting my right to own firearms while simultaneously selling thousands directly to the Mexican mafia.
  18. Yes.
  19. Well this shows a complete and profound misunderstanding of Fallujah.
  20. G19 for an EDC kind of gun. Haven't been able to actually hold a G4 yet, don't know why the dual recoil spring would be beneficial on a 9mm, but keeping an open mind. They aren't that much more expensive.
  21. Anyone have thoughts/impressions on the gen 4 Glock versus the gen 3?
  22. If the system "works" wouldn't we be winning wars? The last decade has proved the military could function better.
