Im gonna go with that was just a realistic expectation and not a dig on the MC community at large. We've been down this road before with the Combat Wombat and I think you’d be 100% correct that forcing an MDS to “specialize” in two distinctly different mission sets is asking for disaster. However comma there could be some benefits with a common platform. Have dedicated gunship squadrons with associated ranges stateside whose crews could go forward quickly to meet up with pre-staged equipment from overseas MC units? Might be some goodness there. That being said, much like the ACE debacle it would probably executed in the dumbest way possible.

Babylon Bee FTW!

Starting to see OS Reporting that Russia blew up multiple Wagner camps across Ukraine. That Ivan man, who knew he’d provide that much support TO Ukraine. First equipment and now fires!!!

“Bobba, I give you best friend price!” kicks kid in the ass to fetch you a Tuborg.

If you’re still waiting to find out if you made O-4, try registering for ACSC by correspondence. A few years ago I used that trick to find out early that I made O-5 with AWC (Although registering is as far as I went with that! 🍺) Apparently Air University gets the list even before Senior Raters. At least they used to, they might’ve fixed the glitch by now though.

Fair enough! Forever War was great, Forever Peace was meh… interesting concept though.

Honest question, have you read the book?

I encourage as many people as I can to READ Starship Troopers. The universal reaction is usually “holy shit”.

“That never happened” Now please… I’ve done what you asked! Release my family! Unlock the pod bay doors HAL!

“Aight… imma head out”

Nothing like a rolling ETIC… from the factory! https://www.defenseone.com/defense-systems/2023/05/tardy-training-jet-reveals-limits-digital-design-air-force-says/386687/

Ah yes! The glorious liberation of Pro Freedom Peoples Republic of Belgorod! It is wonderful that heavy weapons for this spontaneous uprising were locally obtained and available at local military surplus stores! Any Ukrainians who might happen to be in the area are there on vacation purely of their own free will. If you really think about it, it makes sense for them to seek independence from Moscow since Belgorod was historically never actually a part of Russia, but ended up there as a result of the post-Soviet breakup.

Did you say “Wing Attack Plan R”?

Fantastic and accurate cover photo there. 😑This announcement is pretty hilarious since the last edition of the ACJ talked about how DM was a terrible fit for AFSOC and that the city absolutely didn’t want SOF there. 😂

Meanwhile, at AFSOC A1…

Unupgraded… direct from the 1950’s. I’d say these bad boys are bound for self-sabotage if their crews have any common sense. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/04/14/russia-sent-70-year-old-t-55-tanks-to-ukraine-without-even-upgrading-them/?sh=59d9d7b734d2

A little late, but funny!

I had to check to make sure it wasn’t from yesterday. https://www.klkntv.com/missile-missing-from-sac-aerospace-museum/ Gutsiest move I ever saw Mav!

😂 I’m now picturing every aircrew dorm while deployed. I’ll keep it personal and thanks for the advice!

Big question and fair! Seniority mostly combined with the wife has a good job here now that may be able to relocate later.

Not to break the current trend, but… Im looking at commuting my first couple of years post-AF. Since it sounds like there’s a lot of sitting reserve, how crazy of an idea is it to plan on buying a home at the base you’re reserve at with the intention of fixing it up and eventually moving in with the family while using it as a crash pad until then?

As someone who got ed the last time the AF offered early take, absolutely don’t ing do it. May I please have “Fük” added to my list of words I can use?

Don’t go a ninjain’ nuthin’ that don’t need ninjain’

This seems familiar… can’t quite place it… nahh, we didn’t ever experience this while deployed. https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-new-ukraine-general-focused-on-soldiers-shaving-uk-intel-2023-1?amp
