We were just talking about this on a flight yesterday. The size of the current iPad is really the only detractor. And ive got nothing but praise for Foreflight; dropping into little fields like 57GA or GE99 it's essential, those places don't even exist in the AFD. AMC sounds like they are queepy about nonsense like they've always been. It was a good starter assignment, but glad I GTFO as soon as I could.

I'm sure you're tired of hearing it, but you're an idiot. Not everything can be searched on the internet. A lot of guys here know each other or know of each other; yet it blows your mind that the word of a fellow FGO is credible to me? How many AARs on DNET are you reading? Just because you can't google it, it didn't happen? Dont even get me started on award citations. GFY. I know this is controversial, but I think SN torpedo IPA is the best IPA out there. Well played.

Sounds like a cool career, glad to have you on the board!

TIME weighs in with their opinion: https://nation.time.com/2012/10/29/too-tired-to-fly/

Everything is digital except the standby ADI & pressurization panel on a U28.

How did you already lose leave?

Why should anyone do anything for you? You asked about one members qualifications. You got an answer. Instead of responding in kind, you continue to dodge, dive, duck and dodge. Your advice is garbage, and you are an idiot.

Yes. Took me 10 months start to finish. I highly recommend it, the instruction techniques class was actually pretty interesting. A better box checking experience than I expected.

Copy. I'm 3 glasses of wild turkey tradition into my evening. I'm sure it was obvious to the sober members.

This guy is an idiot. Your response is spot on, but personally, I'd prefer he not come back after finding SA.

Why are you asking me?

Does the Died still qualify for HFP/IDP?

He's not a troll. His opinion is exactly that of many senior leaders I've met. I'm actually glad he's posting so people can see the kind of mentally retarded logic prevalent in the senior ranks. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this guy was an 05 or 06 stuffed away somewhere in HQ. it's important to understand where he is coming from, not because I care what they tell me to wear or any of these queep issues he's addressing, but because this same logic is used against operators on actual missions. When I see guys frustrated that senior leaders are exerting micro control over tactical weaponeering solutions and preventing best results due entirely to their own personal incompetence and ignoranceI say "decide now if you can stomach this bullshit for more than your commitment, because they don't even trust you to dress yourself in your own free time." Case in point- this asshole. Personally, i still think the service is worth putting up with these types. I love my job and think its worthy of my best effort. Plus I get to be around, for the most part, some really great people. But I frequently see good guys frustrated by leaders who are just as blatantly idiotic as this one.

He wasn't " selected or non selected based on merit.". He was selected or non selected based on his records, just like the rest of us. Difference is his records were incomplete, he was too new to the AF to know how to correct it himself, and his leadership failed to ensure his job titles, etc. were correctly input. So I'd say he has a decent case for an appeal, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try, and your advice is terrible.

Seriously. That was unbelievable.

AC-130W

Considering a new pistol. I'm looking at three: the FN FNP, FNX, & HK P30 (maybe even the P30L). Any experiences with these would be appreciated.

numerous flaws in your data have already been mentioned, so I won't pile on except to say maybe you should read the comments in the article you linked. Lots of the same feedback you've heard here. I will say though, in reference to the statement above, this exhibits exactly the false logic so many of your support brethren manifest..... Simply 'being there' does NOT equate to value. All valid from both a SOF and MAF perspective. Good post. Doesn't sound lame to me at all, sounds like that CC knew what was most important in his organization. You actually do those checklists? I recommend reading rainmans posts about knowing which rules you can BFM instead of complaining about them (caveat, I'm not a fighter guy but I still get the concept). I used to send one member of my crew to get his signed, then photocopy for everyone. Then I figured out I could sign them all myself and no one was the wiser. Finally I learned that if I turn it in blank, they still let me on the rotator; so I've pretty much achieved enlightenment WRT out processing checklists. Edit to add: notice I'm not "liking" my own post? It's a bit cheesy.

Bingo. Douche move towards your bro's and former bosses. He is out.

Every emerging community has a few new guys who don't understand their overall place in the puzzle and get a little over motivated. It's fine. I'd always rather deal with the guy who needs to be pulled back a bit than the ones who aren't aggressive, have no pride or mission ownership or care too much about your snickering. Bottom line, young guys proud of what they do and leaning forward frequently make asses of themselves. No big deal. The onus lies on older IP's to temper that passion with maturity and grow a seasoned force, something the U28's are actually doing very well right now.

Why don't you go to HRT and ask them?

Taking donations for flowers to the funeral or anything like that?

Eh, I'll probably grab a copy just because I read a lot. One thing stood out in the trailer though, the part where the retired flag is talking about how scared people are in the crew bus enroute to a mission. WTF? Does that seem odd to anyone else? If I saw a dude nervously looking at pictures of his wife before we flew in combat I'd have him stay on the ground.

I saw that kind of thing all the time in AMC, the majority there really has no idea what C130's actually do.

Have read most of it now. Entertaining, yes. But I'll hold to my original impression that this was a mega-douch move.
