  1. Being serious or sarcasm? Haven't seen any indication of that.
  2. Look those bricks are precious to me! Definitely can’t trust TMO with them…
  3. If you are single, live at home with your parents, and then enlist -> pipeline, there’s not a case for BAH to be paid that I am aware of. You have no dependents and your housing will be provided to you while at school. I 1000% do not recommend fucking around here, finding out will be painful. $10K is nothing in the scope of what you will make in your career, even if that’s just one term of enlistment. If your details are different, e.g. you are married and your spouse is staying back in your local area in a home you currently rent or own, etc., you may have a legal way to be entitled to BAH. Good luck and may you have a long and prosperous career!
  4. Yea my first thought was false flag like before Chechnya to justify future crackdowns & atrocities in Ukraine. https://www.rferl.org/amp/putin-russia-president-1999-chechnya-apartment-bombings/30097551.html
  5. No more lectures. I’m retired from that shitty hobby. I’m an MQ-9 pilot, never been an ROTC instructor, so I consider myself well qualified to say I’m “conducting foreign policy.” Many AFSCs can say the same whether you believe it or not. Again, I’ll say this and leave it to this. Many of y’all are sadly negative on the United States, a country I and I assume most of you have dedicated my life to serving in uniform. I tell the same thing to my zoomer daughter who’s a bit of a doomer leftist: temper your criticism with a dose of reality. America has its flaws but overall I still find us to be the good guys the vast majority of the time. If you believe otherwise, honestly it’s better if you are retired or choose to move on from uniformed service ASAP. TYFYS in both meanings of the phrase.
  6. Y'all are the sorriest bunch of pessimists I’ve ever seen, seriously. “Damn, the federal government and our foreign policy are so bad I just spent 20+ years working in the DoD and personally conducting American foreign policy.” 🤦‍♂️ Freaking sack up. Don’t be doomer Gen Z kids who think everything is inexorably fucked and they are to blame (bonus, everyone gets to fill in the they with whomever they want!). Be a good person and family member, be a good officer / pilot/ Commander / etc., be a good citizen and vote, run for office, etc. If something is broken try to fix it. You won’t always succeed but you should still try. It’s not all hopeless, everyone in charge isn’t just a moron in dire need of your brilliant counsel, but if you really think you can do it better then do it better. Talk is cheap, action isn’t, but it’s well worth the cost. I was taught all this shit as a child, were you guys not? America is already great, we’re not going anywhere fast, and yes we have our flaws but modern western liberal democratic capitalism is the worst system…except all the other ones. 🇺🇸
  7. Yea 80 years of being on top, what a disaster /sarcasm 😂
  8. I hear ya, and I'm as much of an Air Force partisan as anyone, but Army ADA branch and HIMARS capes are super useful in INDOPACOM.
  9. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=america+is+full The first result is the former president, current GOP presumptive presidential nominee and leader of the Republican party tweeting that exact phrase, “Our country is full.” The second link is a longtime GOP senator saying that exact phrase. Do I need to continue?
  10. Inshallah we will land safely…green light!
  11. Lol, air littorals. I can never hear that word and not think "clitoral warfare" and laugh.
  12. Terrible end for a clearly disturbed person. Obviously had no business near a commission or a security clearance.
  13. In my very limited interactions with Dag, I was not impressed. If he is indeed next, it sucks that AFSOC's leadership selection process keeps hitting foul balls over and over again at the highest levels...
  14. Anyone who thinks the USA is overly racist or that our government is a big offender for persecuting people due to political views or political speech…I highly encourage you to visit ::waives hands around wildly:: almost any other country.
  15. I heard RUMINT at one point that "the plan" was to take both Slife the Knife and Fat Tony and exile them to Korea as a career-killer SOF backwater, but that happened right as KJU started sabre-rattling, suddenly Korea mattered again, and inexplicably they both snatched victory (i.e. more stars) from the jaws of defeat. 🤷‍♂️ It's quite hard to F-kill toxic senior leaders in any large organization, I guess I just had higher hopes that AFSOC would find a way in this case. Here's to hoping those poor bastard USAFA cadets get a (big!) new CC and AFSOC can be rid of the Sith once and for all.
  16. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/02/14/national-security-threat-mike-turner/ It’s Russian space nukes, not Iran. I believe I saw a documentary about this back in the day…
  17. Yep, I shit you not unfortunately. Big “under new ownership!” energy.
  18. Lol, not anymore! Its Airmen Development Command, geez, get with the times 😂 /sarcasm God speed to anyone wanting a flying gig as a career nightcap. I know it’s not the same as manned flying, but Guard MQ-9 has been a fantastic second-half for me. Kill bad guys by day, sleep in my own bed every night. Ok to be fair sometimes those are reversed… Haven’t PCS’d in 10 years and don’t plan on needing to. Will promote twice in my Guard time and additional opportunities are likely to be there if I want them, or not. Washed-up O5 line flyer ain’t a bad gig if you can get it, and I’ve seen about half a dozen tread that path very, very successfully!
  19. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/3674442/air-force-space-force-announce-sweeping-changes-to-maintain-superiority-amid-gr/ Worth its own thread to discuss. I see lots of new words and new places to park generals but 🤷‍♂️ IDK how this is all gonna work out when the rubber hits the road.
  20. Agreed, I actually stopped watching it half way through. That movie sucked ass.
  21. Ok gents, fess up. Who ordered the child-bride LBFM who’s barely scraping 5’1” in 5” stilettos first from the center on the right? 😂 Right after your last tour in PACAF probably huh? She could nurse milk directly from the SQ/CC’s wife’s titties while they’re both standing fully upright! I’ll refrain from making fun of you further if I can have her number…
