one of those things is not like the other. risk management/decision making. i'd expect evaluators to have the appropriate RM/DM lens and not throw Q2s for a ring.

focusing on gloves, baseball hats, rings, sock color, zipper length, sleeves rolled up too high, patches, etc etc etc is nauseating. i'm sure you had good intentions, but Q2ing a patch for a ring seems excessive. maybe he just forgot to take the ring off before engine start? if he told you to pound sand after you asked him to remove it then point taken. evaluators should have the "big picture"...i can't imagine a smaller one than focusing on a guys wedding ring. "has made Stan/Eval inspections friendly instead of feared." as a former evaluator in 2x MWS i vehemently disagree with you that stan/eval inspections and/or check rides should be "feared". respected certainly. but when you talk about wanting someone to "fear" your inspections i think you need to check your motivations and ego. you should be explaining to the crew that this is a normal ride and you are only there to make sure they are executing per the vol 3 like they do every single day. mistakes will be made, documented, and debriefed. Q3/Q2 should be the rare exception for heinous/dangerous mistakes or BLATANT/WILFUL disregard of flight rules. wearing a ring doesn't rise to that occasion. if anything you owed the patch the professional courtesy of not embarrassing him, pulling him aside privately, and voicing your views on the matter. you assumed that since YOU debriefed his sq/cc and other crews that HE heard it. maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but Q2ing someone for that makes me roll my eyes. what kind of remedial training did your Q2 accomplish? besides piss off a whole squadron of crew dogs? much, much more effective and mature/professional ways to solve that issue than throw paperwork at the guy. now cue the "if you can't do the little things right HOW CAN WE TRUST YOU to do the big things". i have no time for that foolishness. reattack: the best evaluators i saw were the ones everyone went to with questions. approachable. imagine that. the worst evaluators were the ones everyone "feared".

have you ever considered becoming a college english professor? or a poet?

amazing the left was calling any question about bidens health a "conspiracy theory". utterly amazing. but as usual there will be zero accountability for the lies.

Germany cutting Ukraine aid in half. If I were Z I’d be negotiating a peace agreement. This adventure is over. Especially when trump takes over.

Google search trend. The public doesn’t care anymore.

has there ever been a president re-elected when half his own party are calling for him to not run? if he stays this out to be a slam dunk for trump. if it's not there's some shady shit going on with ballots.

TRUST THE SCIENCE

so juicy hopefully biden stays in. hell the man could barely climb the baby stairs into AF1 today in vegas.

it's all explained here, but you idiots won't listen 46:45 1:06:00 peace deal scuttled

yeah all 200k of his army to invade ukraine. come on man you're smarter than that.

This press conference is embarrassing to listen to

President of Ukraine…President Putin! IMG_1115.mov

that's a good question and i don't have the answer. my speculation is he wants to push just enough to remove ukraine as a military threat, but not hard enough to energize NATO to mobilize. all the while killing two birds with one stone by sucking in nato $ and equipment to weaken it. kind of like how we think we are blood letting russia (which i'm sure is true to an extent). i think he has the same thoughts. AND he knows western public opinion can focus on a topic for weeks and then it's on to the next outrage. plus european economies aren't exactly thriving right now. and look at france...lots of political turmoil. i don't think his definition of winning is what the west thinks. the west thinks kiev....paris next. putin hasn't shown any desire to do that. i think putin wants a buffer from nato on his border. remember putin essentially had a peace deal with Z before it was sabotaged. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/15/world/europe/ukraine-russia-ceasefire-deal.html why would he start negotiating with Z in 2022 just weeks after the start of invasion? bluff? maybe. but i think that shows limited objectives. my main beef is this limited insight into our enemy makes for a very dangerous cocktail if either side makes the wrong move and the other side calls the bluff.

100% and stalled it out at the guard shack after getting ID checked going into Camp A. multiple times. "uh sir are you ok?"

i learned to drive standard on disney blvd lol

bro, i don't think russia's goal is to occupy all of ukraine. i am convinced it is not in US interests to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in a country no one gives AF about. putin is happy as a pig in mud to wear down ukranian manpower + equipment in a war of attrition.

guys great news the war is being won now that the F-16s are here! https://www.axios.com/2024/07/10/ukraine-russia-f16-jets-nato-summit

"TrUsT ThE ExPeRtS" 🤡 if biden stays in the race the DNC is gonna play all their dirty cards courtesy of the "intelligence community"

Russia Seeks to Boost Trump in 2024 Election, U.S. Intelligence Officials Say https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/russia-seeks-to-boost-trump-in-2024-election-u-s-intelligence-officials-say-312bb12a

"President Biden faced new calls from prominent Democrats to exit from the race, as he hit the campaign trail Sunday to try to dispel mounting concerns over his fitness for office and chances of defeating Republican Donald Trump. In a private meeting of senior House Democrats, several attendees said Sunday that they believed Biden should step aside, according to people familiar with the matter. The members who said they believed he should exit from the race included Reps. Jerry Nadler and Joe Morelle of New York, Adam Smith of Washington, Jim Himes of Connecticut and Mark Takano of California. The developments opened a wide crack in Biden’s wall of support, bringing the number of House Democrats publicly or privately saying he should step aside to about 10. They included the top Democrats on the Judiciary, Armed Services and Intelligence Committees." https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/some-democrats-urge-biden-to-weigh-options-as-age-worries-linger-2ff735e6

https://nypost.com/2024/07/06/us-news/president-bidens-physician-met-with-parkinsons-disease-specialist-in-white-house/ the interesting question to me is who gave the media the signal to stop covering up biden's mental decline. media has been lockstep for joe until the debate.

One former Biden aide told Axios: "Annie, Ashley and Anthony create a protective bubble around POTUS. He's staffed so closely that he's lost all independence. POTUS relies on staff to nudge him with reminders of who he's meeting, including former staffers and advisers who Biden should easily remember without a reminder from Annie." Those close aides have many duties. But officials recall instances of them helping Biden make up for mental lapses, including prompting him to remember people he has known for a long time. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/05/biden-staffs-white-house-dnc-campaign-miserable-2024
