    What's wrong with the Air Force?

    I hope it wasn't Buffy as it does not match his character (I've been wrong before).   I've known him since we were WIC instructors, legit good dude back in the day.  As I recall the decision to transition to the B-2 was not his and he did make the most of it by being initial B-2 WIC Cadre.

    You’re wrong here.

    Not saying he did it. But it absolutely matches him.

    Commanders are dropping like flies this year

    I'm not the jury.   He could be innocent for all I care.   But why in God's good name would he even be a suspect in a child abuse case? 

    Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. We know what percentage of the total facts in the case? More than 0 but not much more?

    #metoo and believe all women has had a lot of negatives to it. As it stands, he is currently innocent. Who knows what happened?

    Isn’t it impossible to make the percentages of skin color and gender when you can change how you identify at any given moment? Gotta believe that’s a little difficult. But we should spend our treasure and time to try to do it. Who cares about doing military type things.

    So is what you are saying we are trying to hit a random moving target with our ambiguous selection criteria because the composition of the US is changing?

    Nsplayer. Please explain why the military needs to match the skin color and genitalia percentages of our country? Why it matters more than combat effectiveness or capability? Also how is preferring one demographic of skin color over another or gender not racist or sexist?

    We don’t want racism. But we will push policies that push one race over another if we aren’t meeting an arbitrary percentage number. (Isn’t this institutional racism that we hear people talking about?) The traits we are looking for is genitalia and skin color. As long as we give the appearance of a skin color and genitalia diverse military, everything else will be good.

    Think about it. What person, regardless of skin color and genitalia, wants to join an organization that isn’t primarily focused on training and fighting. Winning our countries wars. But we are more focused on ridiculous societal norms of the day. Who wants to join a military (or go to college via affirmative action) knowing that they got hired not because of their ability and hard work but primarily because of skin color and/or genitalia? What about if you didn’t really know after you got hired or picked up if you never found out. If there was always a doubt above your head that you are there because of skin or genitalia and not because of how effective or capable you are. One has to imagine that isn’t a great feeling.

    Work hard. Dream big. Never give up. Fly. Fight. Win.

    Gawd damn some of y’all are triggered rn
    Every comment telling an RPA pilot “yOu’Re NoT a ReAl PiLoT” makes your dick 1 inch shorter, that’s also a fact. Some of you may need to limit your comments to only a couple before you go into negative territory…
    In other news…what was this thread about again?

    Just kind of the equivalent of a biological male or female saying that they are the opposite gender or no gender at all.

    Not triggered. Facts matter. And no matter how hard someone wants facts to be otherwise, they won’t change.

    I mean I sign for the airplane, shake the stick, and pull the trigger…that’s real enough for me BQZip’s mom thought it felt real enough for her too…

    Airplane forms are in theater or with the aircraft….you just sign flight authorizations since you are not co located.

    Remotely Control or I pilot (lower case p) an RPA. You have an instrument qual but have not demonstrated the ability to fly instruments as required by 11 series regulations as an RPA RC’er or NAV. There is a reason that the AFSC starts with 18 not 11. Edit. Because the MQ9 isn’t capable of flying instruments.

    It’s like when a sensor operator says they are a co pilot. They are not. But it sure gets the ladies down on the Vegas strip.

    I’m not sure if your last sentence is a joke or not. I’ve not met a humble NAV.

    There are RPA operators that are better operators and officers than some pilots. Doesn’t mean you get to strut around and apply a micro fact at a macro level.

    Facts are not NAV or RPA hate. They are just facts.

    Reality check or words of encouragement?

    I personally wouldn’t spend money you don’t really have to go anywhere past your PPL. PPL is good enough to show you actually enjoy flying and are teachable. We’ve hired several people with single digit flying hours. 
    Apply everywhere and don’t enlist in the ANG, too old to start playing that game. 

    For what type of airframe did you hire people into? Fighters, bombers, tanker, cargo, etc?
