I’m going to press to test identifying as a Martian on my next PT test to get a break on the waist measurement.

The best part of being an aviator is the squadron life. I heard it described once as like being in a motorcycle gang, but your mom is proud of you. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Whatever you fly is the best airplane in the Air Force.

Interesting. Does IFF still do the 3 track thing depending on your follow-on? I.E. I did the Air to Air track and the A-10 guys did far fewer rides in ACM and BFM but did SAT and something else. If so, which track are they sending FAIPs through?

If he’d have gotten kicked out for something like excessive partying, then I would’ve had respect. But to get kicked out for cheating at SOS?! WTF! There’s nothing there worth cheating on in terms of difficulty.

Fast, neat, average, friendly, good, good is now used to describe the cleanliness and demeanor of the support animals.

Lol! Where’s that Michael Jackson popcorn gif?

If you’re a member of “The Pilot Network” on Facebook, all these dweebs are stumbling all over themselves to shit on Top Gun because it wasn’t Schindler’s List or something. It always cracks me up when people point out how inaccurate the movie is. No shit it’s inaccurate. It’s also entertaining as hell for a kid in the 80’s/90’s and still fun to watch. Sorry, I got #triggered for a second there.

Go to ENJJPT for the aforementioned reasons of being universally assignable in a T-38. Not to shoot holes in your plan, but why do you want AFSOC? The espirit de corps of SOF? The reason I ask is because the 4 AFSOC assets are very different in their missions. I always tell guys to pick based on mission. If you want to haul trash and refuel helos, go MC-130. If you want to shoot a lot of bad guys and have a stroke herding cats, go AC-130. If you want to be viewed as an annoyance to leadership and loved by your user, go U-28. If you want to sit around, maintenance cancel, and get worshipped, go CV-22. TL;DR: Pick based on mission, not MAJCOM.

Why would you downvote this Waingro? If this story of a senator doing harm to a great Officers career because of a personal vendetta, this needs to be out there. *caveat* I know nothing other than several people saying this guy is a great dude and a senator screwed him. He may be a huge POS for all I know. But as a tax payer, if someone that’s a talented Officer is being stymied and weakening the AF as a result, that’s corruption and collusion and I want to know about it.

This seems like the perfect venue to get the actual story out there and get some Senator to do the right thing/be revealed as a dipshit. Who was the Senator?

Not sure if you all saw that Senior Chief Petty Officer Britt Slabinski was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at Roberts Ridge back in 2002. The interesting part is that TSgt John Chapman is also being awarded the MoH for the same battle. The controversy is that some think Slabinski left Chapman behind and the NSW community tried to block Chapman’s MoH to protect the reputation of the SEAL community. Thoughts? http://www.newsweek.com/2018/05/18/navy-seals-seal-team-6-left-behind-die-operation-anaconda-slabinski-chapman-912343.html?amp=1

This is a great story of no shit heroism by some professional aviators. Just out of curiosity, have any Stan Eval dweebs gotten their panties in a wad about not following the checklist and punching the other guys out?

People that want to make an extra grand a month. Or people that are proud to be promoted in the military.

Guess that safety day last week didn’t take.

Huh? Never seen or heard of that happening at KHRT and the vast majority of flyers here are in 2 piece OCP.

I thought that article was interesting, but my jadedness couldn’t help but muster a lukewarm “meh”. All these bleeding heart articles and “Dear Boss” letters just seem like more noise shouted into the void. Maybe it’s just me.

Yeah, but did you get the cream to sugar ratio correct on your aide tour? Clearly not ready for the big leagues.

Just to make sure I’m tracking the nomenclature, you changed your AFSC from 11 to 18, right? Pitching in from the cheap seats, I would imagine your odds are pretty low of flying manned aircraft. If that’s the case, you’re now in that column on the spreadsheet and not the pilot one. Also (unsolicited advice), do you really think it makes sense to take you to a UPT base after six years of zero flying and put you in charge of students? I don’t think that makes much sense in terms of safety. I appreciate you wanting to fly manned and I wish you the best, but temper your expectations. Best of luck!

Down range viewing I recommend Workaholics, Deadwood, Westworld, Back Door Sluts 9 (saved in a folder titled “Masters Work”), and the opening speech to Patton set as your alarm clock.

Write a book?

That story was right before the parable of the “inop sarcasm detector”. Believe it is located in the gospel of John (Boyd) 6:9.

Like Jesus said, “Let he who has not engaged in a hot ménage with 2 enlisted babes cast the first stone.”

Because Raptor will become self aware, travel back in time and try to kill your mom.

In with the first C-17 reference.
