The government didn’t pay for the auto sync on the chip, expect that with the Amazon and Google models.

Hopefully; there’s a dude running around in a MiG-23, so someone is bound to be able to swing the F-4.

And the fucking French!

Aircraft selection for an additional commitment
SurelySerious replied to alwyn2d's topic in General Discussion
I don’t think it would directly increase retention, but willing to risk that and the potential that OCO money would be steered towards capital reinvestment of equipment...because we need that, too. Edit: I largely suspect that the AFG status quo will stay just that so it won’t matter...but if we were to end that quagmire, unlikely the decrease in OCO budget stays with the DOD in the near future anyway, so just wishful thinking all around. -

The real reason the increased bonus or flight pay more in line with how we keep doctors is that the AF would have to admit having a problem to Congress and then advocating for it in front of them. And FLEA I 100% suspect that HAF/AFPC only care that numbers have been made with respect to staff billets instead of mindfully manning them with the right people. Edit: I’ll tell you what I might have accepted a 3 year ADSC for at the end of my UPT commitment: a 15 year reduced retirement, but that’s also not a tool available to AFPC because the Air Force “doesn’t have a problem” any time they talk to Congress -
Not as much an imminent threat as the recent Russian Cozy Bear, but appears the Chinese are conducting more widespread mobile phone intelligence gathering. https://www.yahoo.com/news/china-may-tracking-intercepting-americans-170926880.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/15/revealed-china-suspected-of-spying-on-americans-via-caribbean-phone-networks

He did, but his role seems clearly to be “good enough to finish top 3 regularly, no unnecessary risk, doesn’t complain much” but doesn’t have a killer instinct. Essentially, he’s going to get round the track competitively because Merc has a capable car and he doesn’t cause friction with Lewis...but Merc isn’t going to keep him there forever when Russell has demonstrated equal ability.

Cleveland’s Major League Baseball Team Will Drop Its Indians Nickname With a payroll of $45M, guess you have to keep yourself relevant somehow.

You’re laughable...so you probably have a future in politics.
-
I said it’s bias because he’s always blind to the flaws of the Democrats and only keen to get on his high horse about Trump to a ridiculous level. If by social justice movements you mean violent riots, yeah that’s fishing for a civil war absolutely.
-
Like the civil war people were trying to start this summer for real versus some internet posts no one is reading? Your bias is ridiculous.
-
I was looking forward to another Russell drive in the Merc. I wonder if Bottas took any notice to how well he handled it?
-
Probably not any more nauseating than years of hearing that Russian collusion is the only way Hillary lost and Donnie is a Russian agent...vice her lackluster campaign strategy of “I’m not Trump.”
-
At least one wing commander has it all figured out.
-
Also thought he was just an ass to everyone, but roughly everything in West Virginia is already named for him anyway.
-
I would never confirm this works, but when your tv provider and the company that owns the local channel don’t get along...it’s nice to have recipes.
-
Probably continue getting whatever waiver they already have and move along.
-
Everyone seems to think he’s just being hampered by the Williams, so would be interesting if he performed well in the Merc given the chance.
-
I think this demonstrates that you don’t.
-
It doesn’t seem like you understand our nuclear umbrella that we promise to our allies.
-
May be 80 years old, but still severe enough most of our National security strategy is built around countering countries that possess them. It’s probably best to have less countries to defend against, aside from the pandoras box of gulf nations that will try making them if Iran has them and some weak agreement where they “don’t make any efforts toward weapons” isn’t going to cut it.
-
Your “delay” is just that...one that leads to them also developing weapons. Our position is non proliferation, make the consequences dire not soft and laughable.
-
The Iran deal was about as “good” and “effective” as the Paris climate one. All facade, no substance.
