Federal Judge in Tx Rules Draft Unconstitutional
Maybe, it's largely symbolic still in the sense that his ruling didn't include an order to stop the status quo. It's a double edge sword for any advocacy group that wants to raise a challenge to this by appealing it, though. His argument that things have changed was because women now serve in combat roles and do the same things as men, unlike the last time there was such a ruling on the selective service. Any counter will run very close to saying women aren't equal.

Reserve 135’s Shifting to 4 Month Taskings?!?!?!
So there is no hope?

The new airline thread
Grounded in reality, not political feel goodism. I’ve had two siblings make major career changes as adults so far. Let politicians spew BS. That’s just apocalyptic speculation at best, like a Malthusian catastrophe for the workforce.

You can sink or swim. Your choice.

Unless the autonomy is developing itself, there will be jobs; the real question is will people be willing to adapt?

“Feel better” and get hooked on being paid for doing nothing, beholden to the government. Great.

The Next President is...
Because it is a show against an idea, not what is actually happening or not.

UPT Next
This also sounds different from my experience, no way I could have “taught myself” to fly. However, chair flying and mental rehearsals are always going to be a part of flying training, be it basic stick and rudder or tactical execution. No one sorts 6-9 targets efficiently without getting some instrucor led training, reading on their own, and going through it over and over...on their own before the training event and again after debrief. You kind of id’d it yourself in your second paragraph, FLEA, at its current implementation the UPT Next is mostly just a different way to chair fly with shiny equipment.

UPT Next
Can we baseline against UPT from 6-9 years ago before the fix-to-fix was taken out of the syllabus?

Information on PCS/moves/moving (DITY, TMO, DLA, storage)
I’ll log you thinking wearing ABUs is required as “What’s Wrong with the AF.” Or maybe it’s what’s wrong with you, if you’re only a real officer in ABUs, I can’t be sure.

The new airline thread
Shack. In contrast to those who stay AD to try and keep their salary while getting hours; three years later, guys who went regionals are at year two with a major and guys who stayed AD are not at 1,500 still.

Personal credit card on the road?
So based on DTS/finance success rates...no base has ever been awarded the payout?

How do you feel about your airframe and mission?
The fine print on those T38 keys is endless nuclear training/exercises.

How do you feel about your airframe and mission?
You forgot: prior to this...sim takeoff out of Missouri, sit in sim cruise for 14 hours, press sim button, sim cruise 14 hours home.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
This seems like the right discussion thread to ask that question in. Not today, China.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Effects Based Operations for Air Force Bands.

Personal credit card on the road?
Ditto, local voucher is probably perfect for this.
-
What's wrong with the Air Force?
Is the patch itself humble, credible, and approachable?
-
What's wrong with the Air Force?
No, what he said was right; the patch itself means little, it’s the person wearing it that matters. Believe it or not, WIC output is subject to the normal distribution of talent/ability/knowledge as everything else. Weak instructors have made it through, as have people concerned with their career over tactics.

Let me tweet a link to FSB first.

KC-46A Info
You don’t need every tanker to carry -10 gas; planes that carry -10 gas are more expensive, so you get less of them. Sometimes you need -135 gas at more places. Get over the fact it can’t carry as much as a -10, it was never supposed to.

KC-46A Info
That will happen when you write the requirements to be less than that of the KC-10 on purpose.
