Pretty sure somewhere over the course of this discussion you said you would punish any military member who didn't get the vaccine with the full authority given by the UCMJ if you were a commander. That's about as close as one can get to what you said.

Nice use of ALSA comm brevity.

You'll never find someone who agrees on every issue. And Brabus did a nice job of summing up how many have felt, and now feel about Snowden.

I'm dying.

A guy on YouTube posted a poll of whether or not you'd prefer NCAA FB to be the way it will be in 2027, or 2007. A full 75% of around 15,000 voters chose the latter. I don't like where it is going, but the schools have to do what they can if they want to remain relative. I say this as a Florida State graduate and fan whose school is looking to get private equity to buy out their contract with the ACC. I think this realignment will simply make the Big 2 a version of what the NFL is. And I don't really care for that. Will I keep watching? Absolutely, but in the last 10 years six teams won a NC, from 2000-2010 it was eight. That might not sound like a big difference, but it is. Also, >>>--GO-NOLES-;;-> We've recently made a run in the recruiting race and are now number three if I recall correctly.

Agreed, but will those responsible be punished for their actions?

From another forum I frequent.

How much of a pay cut would an IRR O-4 with a few years in the airlines take if called back? That could be rough.

When I shot mine down at Tyndall years back, after about one second after pickle it went to the moon, never to be seen again. 😆

Dude, I agree. CAS in a permissive environment is pretty easy - If you follow the 12 steps you will be successful and should be generally within a couple seconds of your TOT in the F-35. I routinely see FRS/FTU students inside of 5" by their second event and it's unheard of to get a release without a cleared hot with the only exception I've seen of having a GBU-32 simo with -2 calling in zone with no clearance. Far from air to air where it takes a lot of experience to remain effective.

We certainly can do better, and I agree that the limitations that resulted so that the Marine Corps could have a STOVL 5th gen fighter were not worth it. But I will stand by my assertion that it is any bit as capable as an F-18 in the CAS role. Sure, I'd prefer to have GBU-54 capability, but the GBU-12 isn't ineffective.

That might be accurate for the AF F-35 community but I don't think it would extend to the USMC F-35 community. I would agree that there are certainly better platforms for CAS but the F-35 functions as well as an F-18 in that role.

You have my apologies - Several rounds of bourbon on the rocks last night. If you look I've posted positively about RFKJ and I'm a fan of Gabbard and Manchin. I was more speaking to those who have already assumed the role of President in the past.

Who in the democratic party doesn't fulfill all of those criticisms? And I think Trump is one of the few do care about this country. His actions speak louder than most all who have come before him. Are you going to vote for Newsom? The fact that you knowingly voted for someone who couldn't put together thoughts, even at the time he was running for president, says a significant amount.

Just started the interview during my workout this morning but the book is well worth the read. I hope this interview gets RFKJ out there because the normal media is certainly not covering him.

Fauci should be prosecuted and imprisoned. Shellenberger's book is a solid read. I don't know about China - Their actions, and our contributions (likely) led to a miserable two years and an unknown numbers of lives lost.

Well played, but that dude is definitely conservative! Liberal TikToker goes viral after complaining the only masculine men she can find are conservative | Daily Mail Online

You JUST said you were voting for Biden. He IS fit?

So is no one in the US poor because we are comparing ourselves to the world's population now?

Is this facebook marketplace?

I think there is a video of a CH-53 doing a loop somewhere...

I'm fully aware that visual formations are not survivable given the threats we face today. I mean to add stress in ways that you can to force our pilots to cope adequately because that stress will be added in some form or another when they see real combat.

My point was only that you can mitigate risk to a certain degree. If BASH is high, don't fly. If it's low, 200'.

Why not do low levels at 5k'? I'm not an old dude and I see the degradation in the ability of students to adapt because we have coddled them due to changing situations based on tactics which don't necessitate visual formation keeping which doesn't them better aviators. They're more lethal, but that is due to the platform and level of SA provided by a platform that shows you everything in a beautiful picture which requires nothing more than the press of a button and a pickle depression. For better or worse, in Fat(test) Amy they only ever have to fly form for two FTU/FRS/RAG events and then only for the break. What happens when link(s) goes out? I think you should push students at the FTU/FRS/RAG and once they get to the CAF/fleet because the more you sweat... The less you bleed. We haven't had to bleed in 50 years, time will tell.
