96th Bomb Squadron - 96th Aero Squadron
Initially formed at Kelly Field in August of 1917 during WWI, the 96th conducted the first aerial bombing mission on June 12, 1918. Launched from Amanty Aerodrome flying the Breguet 14, the Red Devils flew 96km to strike the rail yards in Dommary-Baroncourt. Currently the world’s premier bomb squadron, flying the B-52H from Barksdale AFB, LA. First To Bomb!

Trying to contact the 345th Bomb Squadron
They’re probably too busy trying to figure out what they’re doing when the Bone is retired in a few years. By the time you rush, apply, go through commissioning, and complete UPT they’ll probably be stuck without an airframe for 6-9 years when there are 5 bones still flying before B-21 is FOC. Half kidding.

Is the T-1 totally retired from the UPT syllabus?
No no no, it works in theory [marxism], you’re just not implementing it correctly.

We’ll just sim-only the entire NGAD. Skip all the years of time for the whole program and just put $1T in a contractor’s pocket.

We’ve cut every training timeline by half since 1975, though.

I’m not referring to inflation, but increased base tax rates at lower thresholds, higher capital gains rate, unrealized gains. They will effect a wide swath, living below means or not, with reduced income.

The same people who keep voting D and then believing the D elected officials who have largely been in charge for the last 16 years but say it’s the other party’s fault. So then they vote D again anyway. [emoji849] I digress. I disagree that it won’t affect upper mid to upper class, though. If she affects some of the tax changes she has mentioned it’s going to sting because I don’t believe for a second it stops at the “ultra wealthy.”

I, for one, am looking forward to Harris implementing all of Bernie Sanders’ and Elizabeth Warren’s top economic policies. /s

Let’s call it what it really is, though: Bezos using his newspaper to challenge policies that would crimp his grocery business.

Guard only if war is declared?
Semantically no. War is by that level of technicality between nations that actually has protocol, and we haven’t declared one in 8 decades. They have authorized many uses of force, though, that we all recognize as “war” against states and non-states that are technically just hostilities. Since the UN has forbidden war (except for security council authorization essentially) since WWII… no one declares it anyway because why would you incriminate yourself? Korea and Iraq I we were acting on UN’s behalf so no declaration required apparently. So there’s validity to the semantics in some sense, but there’s also the practicality in practice.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
I’m sorry are you trying to talk about Russia and Ukraine in this thread?

Going to be passed over twice and need some advice.
Second all of the above. The R-ATP with your experience will open the doors to national carriers like Breeze, Allegiant, Sun Country, etc as well as the regionals. Keep your big airline apps updated and leverage your Reserve/Guard opportunities in concert with civilian employment.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Sir, this is a Wendy’s. The AI bot probably wants a substack where it just publishes its copy and paste bs while it doesn’t have to deal with all of us stupid people, but seems to have gotten sidetracked.

Ah yes, the AI chatbot with no actual point is back. Those of us humans with a budget already have the answer.
