The last couple pages of this thread look like a youtube comment section. Thanks for the laughs.
On the topic of that 60 minutes interview, I thought the author didn't come across as phony at all. I really believe that he wrote the book to tell the accurate story of one of the most important events in American history. He had a part in the interview where he said he's received nothing but support from bros that he used work with. After reading the book, I'm not surprised by that.

What a bunch of horsesh*t. Pretty soon we won't even have squadron patches anymore, everyone will wear the flag on one arm and the Air Force symbol on the other. But someone will probably get offended by that too, since not everyone in the military is an American citizen. what a load of bs.
That would offend me greatly.

Saw this article in Time magazine. Well written article that incorporates the accident report.

Link to Lt Col (RET) Grossman's "On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs." I am sure there are many other links out there as well. Too long to post fully, but if you want a read, here ya' go.

I never said it was some big conspiracy. I don't even think it's that common. I simply stated that I, me personally, know more officers than enlisted who will play the dodging game. Looking back I'm not even sure why I brought it up. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the logic that a Lt shouldn't have to salute a Capt Double Lt.
CGOPA?
IMHO, the CGO's should (PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR BLUE KOOL-AID SOAKED BRAINS EXPLODE) exercise judgement on saluting each other. If I'm a Lt going out to lunch with some Capt bros and meet them in the parking lot, I'm not going to salute them when they show up to my car. If I'm walking past them into the building and there are others around, I'll salute them. Just exercise some judgement and common sense. I think they're working that into PME in the next courseware update so it should be easier to grasp.

Voyager 1 (fastest manmade object ever) is traveling at roughly 10 miles per second (.00006% the speed of light), and is JUST NOW leaving the solar system after 35 years of flight. In that time we have not developed a way to go any faster either. Even IF we were able to go even 1000x faster it would still take more than a lifetime for us to get to anywhere worth going outside the solar system, and forget ever coming back (or even really being able to report success back to earth). I'm a space nerd too, so don't get me wrong, but for as far as we've come with technology, everything we currently know about space, time, and travel points to us never being able to go anywhere outside of the "neighborhood".
Sounds like those people standing around Spain around 1492.

1. I read that as officership type stuff. Not flying or SA related deficiencies. UPT guys?
2. I read that as if you can get someone to pull some strings for you and specifically mention you, you could get it signed off.
Good luck to you

Nothing about an Aaphid up the arsehole or having their bollocks shot away?
Pretty sure this aired Sunday after supper so morale was high.

The SAS (and other British special operations types, presumably) have for a number of years been required to sign a contract that explicitly prohibits them from publishing books once they leave. This followed a spate of books written after Gulf War I.
Interesting to read the Admiral saying that these guys have a right to write about their adventures, therefore.I'd have thought that the US would have had pretty much the same controls in place.
He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, as well. Which makes it all the more interesting.

Surprised nobody said anything about this yet.
A new book - "No Easy Day" - is set to be released on Sept. 11 that details the raid that killed Bin Laden and was written by one of the SEALs who was actually part of the element that kicked down the door and killed Bin Laden. Obviously, questions about OPSEC and things of that nature are running rampant as a result.
So is the author "Mark Owen" (pseudonym for the actual author who has been revealed by Fox News if you want to find him)a hero or a rat for breaking the silence of such a top secret mission?

Find some old crusty Major who has some woodworking skills that has no additional duties to build one after he finishes the bar. Oh, that's right he didn't have his Master's degree and didn't make Lt.Col so we kicked him out.
Maybe woodworking will be the next big push for stratifying.

I'm a little disappointed that people can't figure out how to act in the military without an almighty AFI telling them what to do.
Just show some freakin' decency and do what you know is right without hiding behind a reg. IMHO.

Having a T-38 background could help you if there is a fighter crossflow a la that late 90's. But like my esteemed colleagues have said, the MAJCOMs don't know and/or track what guys flew in UPT. They only care about what someone is coded now and how they fit into the manning scheme.
With all the fighter manning problems (I know it's staff jobs that are undermanned), it wouldn't surprise me to see guys flow into fighters. I have absolutely nothing other than a hunch to back that up so FWIW.

I believe that film is being based on the book "Team of Rivals". Good read, if you're into all that political cheese.
