“I was never into fashion, even though I was a typical fruit cup” LOL. “I have many LGBT friends here, and if you can stand at attention properly and speak with proper etiquette, that’s what it comes down to in the Navy,” he said. “No one tells me I’m too feminine. I’ve not once had a bad experience as a gay man in the military.” I’m glad to hear that. If he’s good at his job, good on him. Also, he has massive balls for doing this stuff in that environment.- The new airline thread
I thought that was about injecting heroin...- Tattoo rules and regs
Several guys in my AD unit are tatted up like crazy and it doesn’t bother anyone. I wouldn’t walk in and highlight the tattoos and make a big issue out of it for the hiring board, but be willing to talk about it if asked (which is unlikely).- Information on PIT (Pilot Instructor Training)
This discussion really reminds me of this scene from the movie “Moneyball” “You guys are talking the same old good body nonsense like we’re selling jeans.” From several sources that I trust, PIT needs a big overhaul or needs to go away. While some of that may be sour grapes, my experience tells me that a place full of passed over Majors and ROAD O-5’s leads to some serious stagnation.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
Reading that article, I’m interested to see what actually occurs. It sounds like Fingers is saying to ID guys that are good tactical leaders and develop that. I think that’s a great idea. I hope that doesn’t translate to the guy who has the best excel skills gets the #1 push like we’ve seen so often.- AFPAK Hands- Opportunity Beckons

Quint, Hooper, and Chief Brody used their giant red, white, and blue balls to save Amity Island with nary a Commie in sight. Farewell and adieu to Quint though...- Thud Drivers Photo Exhibit

Let’s let this play out. And then what happened?- Track Selects and Assignment Nights
I know for a fact that there are at least 4 IP’s at PTN from fighter backgrounds.- Track Selects and Assignment Nights
Probably about as similar as high aspect is in a Viper to a 38.- Track Selects and Assignment Nights
For all the purists out there that did UPT back when it was difficult (like me), how much of that syllabus time was spent learning the airplane and local trainingisms that had zero effect on your follow-on jets? At least for me, understanding when I could request closed or find the VFR entry point at Hacker (which I never did right) didn’t help me much in IFF/FTU. IFF could be taught in any airplane because the program is an admin course. If you incorporate those IFF expectations earlier on and influence guys when they’re learning how things are done than you can pick that up as you go. Sure, having Air sense helped by accruing hours but that can be augmented well by high quality sims, in my opinion. Based on my limited knowledge of this program, I honestly think these students are going to pleasantly surprise people. Standing by for Spears.- Fly-Only Track in AMC
Well, yeah. This is supposedly what everyone wants and it’s a retention measure. What’s the issue?- “Red is the new Green”
But they do refuel everybody that allows U-28’s and MQ-9’s to have any hope of survival once on objective... The USAF’s ability to do its job is more dependent on the tanker force than any other asset.- “Red is the new Green”
If a young guy shows a desire to “be tactical” in the tanker community, is he ostracized by the old heads with the attitude in the previous posts or is that trait encouraged?- B-1 Landing at Midland
Why did I go look at the comments there...That really pissed me off. I love the Army cooks pitching in saying that all these guys did was land a plane and they mock the Air Force for stuff like this. Those people are an embarrassment to the American military if they can’t figure out how heroic this act was.- “Red is the new Green”
Down range is the best place to get into the books, in my opinion. You fly and workout. That leaves tons of time to get in the books. Maybe that’s just my community but our guys are way sharper and ready to upgrade at the end of deployments. I don’t say that derisively, simply my communities technique that seems to work. Personal note: I’m the son of a tanker pilot and love the entire tanker enterprise. I’m not the only one. Talk to a Thud or Phantom driver that went downtown in Route Pack VI and had his bacon saved by some warrior minded tanker crews. The tanker dudes won’t be able to buy a drink all night.- B-1 Landing at Midland
