Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training

They seem to have no idea how to run the enterprise anymore.

Doesn't mean he didn't damage his cilia.

If you train with the RDS, it's great. If you don't, it's slower. Get the biggest optic you can fit in your setup. My SRO is so much nicer than my RMRcc, but I can't really put an SRO on a Shield.

If only there was a program in South Texas that explicitly trained low level navigation, basic herbivore formation, drop zone and crew coordination, and instrument flying in a multi-engine turboprop. Man that'd be perfect. -
No skin off my nose if they call themselves warfighters. If some new Lt or E-2 is proud of their training completion and wants to be called an operator, great. I don't think anyone is going to confuse them for Recon Marines because they use the term "warfighter." Reminds me of the silly Airman's Creed, but if it makes somebody proud to serve, awesome.

I expect Navy and Eagle dudes to be measuring rods, but I expected better from you!

Holy cow: So even if they do get it, their first time landing on the boat will be in a F-35/F-18/C-2/E-2? Their vaunted PLM better work.

Not really novel. 7th SFG trained a bunch of future Zetas years ago. Gangs have long used the US military as training ground. They even have an acronym: Military-trained gang members (MTGMs).

So you are or are not moving up a number? Important things first. 😉

175 acres, norcal... nice. Paying that mortgage should be easy with 175 acres of.... crops. 😉

Eh, unlikely, at least in large caps. I tried the "active" route the first half of the year. The steep V recovery kicked my ass. I'll stay in my indexing lane from now on.
-
I'm watching now. I look forward to that. 😆

14 year old must have game.

News says they're headed to Guam, but Guam staging doesn't make a lot of sense to me unless it's just for theatrics. Andersen-Tehran is only 800 miles less than Whiteman-Tehran and that's AFTER flying 6000nm to Guam. Maybe they avoid overflight dip issues in SEA vs Europe?

Probably wouldn't be hard for one of the 17Xs to build an entire ADS-B strike package and send it east. Or build two and send one east and one west. Watch the twitterverse explode.

That's ok. They can mouth off to locals back in Knoxville. Arkansas smoked them today by a lot more than 1 run.

Tile drill bit, little silicone, it'll work.

To do so would be blasphemous heresy. I 100% used an M8 bolt leftover from a ceiling fan to remove a truck brake rotor last week.

I'd even strike "once boarding is complete." Lots of problems happen during boarding and we have people for that, too. Some CAs feel the need to make a PA directly to the passengers in pursuit of some nebulous passenger satisfaction metric. Nah. Best case you get some attaboys on X. Worst case you say "Ladies and Gentlemen" and you lose your job for a while.

Being in NCR I really wouldn't worry about it. As you said, I think you'll be able to find something if you have to. With 4 years to play with (2 to pin on + 2 overgrade waiver), I'd go for it. Once you have completed your requisite mouth shut period, I'd start lobbying for them to change a billet or three to O-5.
-
Overgrade waivers are generally (always?) only good for 2 years, so I wouldn't count on that as your long term answer. In my experience, we always wrote positions for O-5s to avoid that exact problem. I thought writing for O-5 was standard... What do you know about the UMD vacancies of the unit you're looking to join? Is it all O-4 billets? Are all the O-5 billets already doubled?

I've seen multiple manufacturers, including Ranger Point and Magpul, list their buttstocks as 1894/1895/336.
