  1. They just reactivated one of the Aggressor squadrons with early block F-35s, IIRC. Might as well throw in the early block Raptors to that bag and have all kind of LO mischief and mayhem reeked upon poor WUGs and RF Msn/CCs
  2. I see even more finger pointing and “oh that’s not our job, that’s xyz’s job”
  3. But hey, at least the DM Hogs going away means plenty of 11Fs to fill those T-38 spots, right, right??
  4. “Possibly PCS”…hell no. Also, imagine just how little effort is going into that OPB.
  5. Damn…writing this one down for future use!
  6. FFS…I have zero confidence in any Boeing aircraft that was built post, say, Reagan presidency.
  7. How the hell are these our only choices? Seriously, this is the best we can do??
  8. FAA’s DEI Hiring initiative Suck it up for 6.9 seconds and read what the FAA, mandated by the Secretary of Transportation, is actively recruiting.
  9. RUMINT in the bomber community is a very serious EP (jet on fire) prior to the approach. Weather was an eyelash above ILS mins. First day back flying after Christmas/New Years. Helluva first day back…
  10. Nick Saban Retiring In what amounts to perhaps one of the most seismic of shifts in the college football landscape in recent memory....Nick Saban retiring at Bama.
  11. KBAD about to lose it’s golf course because…DEI?
  12. Weather was dogshit from Canada to Arkansas yesterday.
  13. I never got to go to UPT. Did the CSO thing, and had a good time in the Buff for over a decade. Covered most the Pacific, sent some ISIS goons to goat paradise. You can still fly and have a good career. Or… I got my CFI, taught on the side and built hours. Now I’ve got my ATP and I’m flying charter, building lots of time and trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up 😂 You’re going to have opportunities, no matter what.
  14. Wait, I got it! Rated retention! If we don't have so many staffs, we don't have to man them, and all those non-command track O-4 and O-5 IPs can go back to flying the line!!
  15. Unsettling is the right phrase.
  16. Since it's TI, I'm assuming his use of the term "disable" is in the technical sense, as in "disable the equipment"....YGBSM....we're living in straight up 1984. Double plus ungood
  17. So let’s not address the real causes. Overworked, under resourced, constant pressure to do more with less, ops tempo that’s higher than it was when we were actually fighting a war…nope, overnight beer sales are the cause.
  18. Agreed. I just wish we weren't giving away everything now, with none of the replacement capes expected to be on the ramp in maybe even this decade.
  19. That's exactly the mindset of our brass right now, though. Ref. F-15C, AWACS, JSTARS, and A-10 retirements.
  20. Didn't see it before....can't unsee it now 😑
  21. Aircrew and missile crews coming down with all kinds of nasty cancers
  22. Who let the pinko commie in here?
  23. So you’re not mature enough to make an informed decision to smoke now until 21 because nanny state, can still enlist and get killed in a foreign land at 18, but you can make a rational informed decision about the future of the country at 16…brilliant…what were we saying about mental disorders?
  24. The thing that has me scratching my head is Trump’s vice grip on the evangelical vote. This is a guy who cheated on his wife with a porn star, then paid a bunch of hush money to cover it up…yet the evangelical right worships and adores the ground he walks on. Completely incongruous.
