Commanders are dropping like flies this year
disgruntledemployee replied to MDDieselPilot's topic in General Discussion
Here's another. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/04/16/air-force-colonel-gets-21-days-jail-after-admitting-relationship-staff-sergeant.html "Col. Christopher Meeker, the former commander of Wright-Patterson's 88th Air Base Wing, was sentenced Tuesday evening after entering a guilty plea to violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, including Article 90, willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer, and Article 134, fraternization." In other words, he was told to stay away but just couldn't do it. Her name must have been "Sunshine." Side note, it's good to see that Punk is climbing the command ladder, 18AF now, probably a 4 star job in the future. -

Gotcha. I agree that anything above 4 units is usually deemed commercial. Carry on

I don't believe you. A 5 unit, sure. A residential 5 bedroom single house, nah.

More to it, probably. It's not like the Army knew who was going to be SecDef 6 months ago, or that the new Trump pic is approved by him as he didn't like his portrait. Probably plenty of offices showing a smiley face in lieu of. As for the COL, I want all Army women to look like they could knock you out at the bar. -
The US economy

I agree that laws should be policed. I disagree with a lot of laws tho. For example, an expired tag, which is more a function of revenue/taxes than crime, should not be a police matter. Parking tickets, JFC. Purely money, and again should not be a police function whatsoever. Now if the politicians want to delete laws, have at it. Sorta funny, in AR a rep floored a bill that allows one to run a red light after they stop and there's no traffic, like a stop sign. The others didn't like it and it got the deep six.

Last year while driving, a dude cuts 2 lanes over and no signal, in front of a Sheriff's car no less. At the light, Deputy just gets on the the loudspeaker, calls him out, and tells him to use his blinker. A few honks from surrounding cars and a waive out the window from dude. Effective?

Same. My point is that some here are saying it now the time to buy, but the bottom keeps getting lower and lower. Tesla is below what "experts" say was their rock bottom. Elon is asking everyone not to sell. Please help a billionaire out (not). This stock market thing is getting out of hand and someone's gonna get hurt, paraphrasing from Red October.

People have been doing that, but they keep dropping.

All this fucking around with people's life savings is epically retarded. The GOP will get flushed in the midterms. Screw it, I'm loading up on SQQQ

No. Our FM says for the MAX, "This procedure provides an alternate engine start procedures in an effort to avoid a potential EGT exceedance when OAT is 40C/104F or greater."
-
737 Electric hydraulic switches are turned on/off every flight, so red guarding those doesn't make sense. Also, in the Max, if its hot out the engine pump switches are turned off for engine start. I've seen it once where the Capt reached over to turn on the eng heat but fliped the hydraulic switches, kind of a cross cockpit mistake. The master caution coming on at switch flip is the sign that the wrong switches were flipped, and that happened to this crew, but they reset the MC and didn't look into what or why. Yep, what StoleIt said.

Oh, and Musk just got "fired" from DOGE.

If Vance runs as pres and wins, he WILL NOT resign and give it back to Trump.

I'll take the licks. I forgot that a T38 will fall out of the sky at 299 kts. My flyovers were in a Herk and /s the wings will rip off at 300 kts /s. I assumed that flyovers were max 250 because of all the shenanigans over the years.

And?
-
But it is an event, it made the news. One would think DCA would be changing their ways. Same goes for those that operate in that space. Saying this is a non event is only done with hindsight. Delta thought it was event in the moment. You think Delta was thinking, "Hey Bob, an RA. Must be those fighter boys doing a run in to Arlington. We'll be fine, no worries." 300Kts at 800' thru class B is another gem. Either someone approved that plan or the 38s flew faster than planned, likely with DCA approval. So someone is gonna get the beak for that item (approval authority or pilots/DCA controllers). I was there a few weeks back. They are still packing planes in there with tight spacing and thus resulting in go arounds. And that is with EDCTs. I agree, a few minute ground stop would have easily prevented this.

CNN article on a T-38 doing 350mph (typo?) at 800' near Reagan and tripping an RA on a Delta takeoff. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/28/us/delta-military-jet-close-call-dca/index.html

You're blind. Make the call.

I don't think Trump thinks it matters how Venmo has all those media contacts, either the app or his contacts. He pro probably thinks the fact Goldberg is a contact regardless of reason is bad because it means Waltz is in contact with the enemy. Or maybe there was some sort of arrangement between them.
-
Maybe listening to Yuki on the radio will make Horner "explode." Too soon?
-
WIRED et al reporting Waltz had his Venmo public until they reported on it. Guess who is in it? Goldberg, Fox Newers, CNNers, and other media types. Maybe he's the leaker on Elon's war plans briefing, which they probably did over Signal after it was cancelled. https://www.wired.com/story/michael-waltz-left-his-venmo-public/ https://prospect.org/politics/2025-03-26-michael-waltz-venmo-public-full-of-journalists/

All the American public do is go off the video and based on that and reading the Signal screen shots, she's playing stupid, thus if so facto, she is stupid. Reminds me of Tom Brady's press conference on Deflategate. Duhhh, I just throw da football...
-
So now you got to see the texts. What do you think Trump should do? Hesgeth? All of them are stupid for playing on Signal. Waltz is the idiot that let a non-cleared person into the chat (blame it on a staffer, of course, weak dick asshole). But Pete is the dumb ass putting most of the classified in the chat. Do they deserve to remain in office?
