    No thanks; separating because I have no faith in the AD Air Force’s talent management, so not giving them the opportunity yet again.

    College library. If it was like a personal account, it would be an obscure hobby that finally found its niche.

    It is definitely draconian. I just stumbled upon a tweet of (probably real) measures from 1918. It’s like a “can you spot the difference” exercise with what we are doing 100 years later.

    I gave them the benefit of the doubt until they took Phoenix and turned it into Vista. Seems to be a program without a direction. Pathfinder even more so. Common theme of those? Not focused on having a tactically competent force.

    Las Vegas running CTAF ops. I knew all those patterns at NTAs would pay off. Pretty neat, though.

    Well...there is another tool sts. Two words.

    He’s pretty spot on for GSC, which is half CAF half MAF monster in which we’re currently picking the worst traits of both to build culture

    On the separations page of vMPF there was a disclaimer about only being able to delay/change/withdraw separation for certain circumstances. Will look tomorrow to confirm accuracy of my words and reg associated.

    Huggy using the rudder in 1959.

    Hell, insert control freak squadron commander sts into that line. AF has been fanning that flaming characteristic since they were SOS DG and became anointed.

    Not at all, it will only further embolden them to embrace more extreme positions sts because “we didn’t go far enough.”

    I’ll be honest, you win for question I least expected with all the shit going on.

    People who go through URT are factually not pilots. You’re also talking from shortsightedness: for at least ten years the majority of this forum was advocating for a companion trainers for pilots assigned to UAVs. Frankly, the spirit of this article sounds a lot like gratuitous whining like Longhorn alludes to than any actionable solution.

    If you follow The Pilot Network on Facebook and want some entertainment, a familiar poster is currently going through the phases. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ThePilotNetwork/

    nsplayr, you used a phrasing I’ve commonly heard: that Bernie didn’t expand his coalition (similar to some media articles that he didn’t shift to attract wider coalition) He’s genuinely not interested in moving his platform to what the electorate wants. He thinks the electorate should flex to his platform. And that’s a fatal flaw.

    And then Angela Merkel said “70% of the country could be infected.” First off, if we’re just throwing out hypotheticals, make it more farcical, 10% rule it. Second, as the leader of a country that’s pretty irresponsible to say with roughly no basis.

    Maybe...but is he going to hold the frozen middle accountable? Seems like each recent CSAF has great background/ideas, but the same difficulty executing because of the bureaucracy in between.

    Are you under the impression that current IR missiles don’t already visually distinguish flares from airplane silhouettes?

    There's a certain amount you don't want your enemy to know what you know, because then they counter your counter. However... ^There's also this angle.

    True, quite the task to change the entire culture of a place, especially when the literacy rate is so low. Trying to use the military as a nation building force was always questionable at best, and not sure we ever had an end state in mind, past fall 2011.

    In August 2001 there were, which is probably what he’s on about.
  23. SurelySerious
    Of course, makes sense in bizarro world.
  24. SurelySerious
    Except AFPC

    Someone figure out who the authority is so I can request it next time I’m doing a low approach. I’ll just hold while that gets staffed.
