Then there was a lot of turn, climb, clean, and check talk for nothing. 🙄

Gotcha; I think the bigger issue is sending a dude solo without the training. But that’s me.

Plenty of single engine patterns are practiced in the 38 before sending kids solo.

That’s the part that gets me; when we’re not practicing the basic aviation skills a dude in a Cessna practices to recover his aircraft if they’re a solo emer, then it’s questionable.

The short of it is in the route of flight you put the points of the track or altrv only, and then full annotation of the altrv in the remarks. Unlike domestic flight plans, you don’t put “(arip) ARXXX (arex)” in the route of flight portions. But there’s probably an AMC guru here who has a better explanation.

I hear that for every Boldface/Ops Limits you correctly accomplish and submit, they waive an hour.

I’ve not heard of something like that, especially if you’re based in the VPS area. If so, the GSA city pair fare from your base to destination is the standard if one exists. But I’m no finance guy.

Scrolling up may answer your question.

I’m 6 or 7 books in. They’re more Rainbow Six-like than Sum of All Fears, for instance, but I think enjoyable reads. The geopolitical situations are almost worth it.

If they wanted a modernized Jack Ryan universe series, they really could have gone through much less trouble inventing all of this new-story. The Jack Ryan Jr series of books is post-9/11 and actually insightfully touches on a host of modern security concerns. For instance, Russia annexing territory...before Putin actually did. https://www.goodreads.com/series/63669-jack-ryan-jr

It’s the same shell game they play with MWS FTUs and cutting sorties that just end up rolling into MQT at the Ops SQ.

For a second I thought you were talking about Afghanistan. Nope, just the US military, nothing to see here.

Unless you’re just playing devil’s advocate by trying to piece together random snippets from actual socialist propaganda, I think you’re the one that doesn’t know what socialism is, nor do you understand money and markets.

Aviation design is always about trade offs, and for a light jet trainer, dual redundancy is pretty good.

There is also that Safe/Arm lever in the 38 you can see in Hacker’s picture. If you haven’t had the safety office pull the report up, it’s worth reading.

I’m pretty sure we’ve spiraled through the floor.

You are clearly emotionally connected here, but this is irrelevant. It literally could have happened anywhere where anyone of us has lived and flown. The guys with experience in these operations are mostly logically trying to walk you through their process and provide perspective based on the known circumstances, which would similarly be taken whether it’s a stolen jet near jblm or near hill or Leavenworth.

This sounds like a copy and paste of the Democratic national narrative. However, the socialistic welfare state that side has been pandering for decades is the ultimate case of immediate benefit while eroding the future. Votes now from people for an idea of free things that sound good, while further handcuffing people to handouts by way of learned helplessness with no ability to pay for said handouts in the long run. Security clearances are granted based on a need to know combined with a job that requires said clearance to function. That’s the only reason any of us have access to any classified. These former officials no longer have the need for continued access any more than the day one of us leaves the service. Nice hypoerbole about SF86s, though.

Sounds like expanding the requirement to go through DTS/TMC further, if I’m reading that correctly. Great.

That sounds line a task easily done by someone with OJT. But I’m not an expert on rules that would govern that activity.

And this is what every discussion started by enlisted guys about how making them WOs would solve all problems is missing.

Probably Cyber Warrant Officers.

It makes law development and spending allocation incredibly easier to agree on. Suggest you read Paul Collier’s Bottom Billion and Wars, Guns, and Votes. He goes into detail on the how and why certain governmental models seemingly work some places and not others. Edit: suggest purely because they’re interesting reads.

You are correct, you are on a different planet.

Maybe they need to curtail their flight training program hours and add some VR study time.
