dream big

He did a gala for my wife’s company, he was a total bro. Politics aside I love how committed he is to wounded veterans and helping them rehabilitate.

When you’re bleeding 0-4s and 0-5s someone figured out that you need to replace the talent more expeditiously?

Not trying to be snarky, I’m genuinely curious about the logic behind this. Would Pooter or Nsplyr like to chime in?

No it’s actually dudes like you and me on the pilot network, many with valid concerns on how poorly the Air Force is managing pilot retention.

I’ve been asking the same damn question, it sure as hell isn’t Crackles.

Had the drinking competitions been graded our flight would have finished at least top third!

People WANT to go to IFS now? Man how times have changed. I had just finished my PPL and still had to go back when it was a washout program. It ended up being a fun time with some cool bros but not sure it was worth the investment for the Air Force. My understanding is now it’s more of a teaching program. Hopefully they got rid of some of the civilian IPs with sticks up their bums.

That kind of adult language wouldn’t appeal to zealots like AOC.

Wise strategy in lieu of the Hunter Biden stories; while true and investigation worthy- doesn’t meet the appeal threshold of the public, specifically those on the fence. GOP needs to start playing the dem campaign games.

Speaking of the 19th AF/CC, he’s been in the seat for 3 years, shouldn’t he be getting a replacement soon?

Is the new AFSOC CC the infamous “CAT 5” or something?

My thoughts exactly, your civilian sim IPs are Vietnam vets who have cut their teeth in military aviation; not off the street civilian pilots who have no clue about military aviation. I’m all for innovation but nothing yells giving up more than this.

Callsign nights and shacking with female students is a thing too! …too soon?

I support a ban on morons like him from serving in congress.

Probably more about getting fuel to people who need it *closer* to the fight?

I know a lot of people don’t like Fingers but I think he did his very best to undo the damage Norty and Welsh did (mostly Norty). Under Fingers there was a focus on the squadrons, elimination of BPZ and school selects, reduced rated manning on staffs etc. Cultural changes and frozen middle management take time to overcome unfortunately. Not really sure about the current chief, seems more about talk and optics.

Anyone with half a brain should realize that the leftist establishment pulling Brandon’s puppet strings loves our gas situation. 1- Furthers their argument of acceleration of programs like the Green New Deal, 2- Improves their justification for large scale social programs just in time for the midterms. What is the saying? “Never let a good crisis go to waste”.

Not a huge fan but the one thing I respected about John McCain is that he would publicly roast the Air Force for their incompetence. The famous video of McCain giving it to Welsh over the A-10 retirement debacle is priceless; as a result we still have the A-10. Kinzinger, take notes, find your sack and hold people accountable.

It’s getting close to the midterms and his handlers are probably nervous..probably keeping a tight leash on him before he continues embarrassing himself in public.

Ummm interesting analogy…can’t say I’ve heard that one, 10/10 for creativity ….but no

Cutting costs, and also fixing the pilot manning crisis the Air Force created by pumping through more UPT students since they have all but given up on retaining on the other end. We do this to ourselves. I’ll be standing by the data points on MAF 2.0/2.5 students from my FTU and line bros.

Went to the academy with him, he always seemed “off”, but hindsight is 2020. During IFS he was showing his classmates a sex video he made with some chick over the weekend, kind of weird. Would’ve never imagined he was a predator.

It’s a badge of honor for many people, especially her kind. How did we end up with communists like her at the highest levels of government? It really comes down to the fact that the Biden Admin (his handlers) are not ruling in good faith. They want to fundamentally change the core fabric of this country (limiting speech is one of the first steps, firearms second…no coincidence our founding fathers made speech and self defense the top two amendments). In order to fundamentally change the government that benefits the oligarchs, they flat out need to sabotage the country. It must be by design. The likes of AOC, her stupid squad..their lunacy and idiocy makes sense when you realize this is all by design, accomplished by the useful idiots who voted these people into office.

Standard scarecrow tactics. There are fringe elements on the right that want to ban birth control but they are a minority within a minority - yet the left tries to frame this view as mainstream when it’s far from it. Catholic organizations that employ folk won’t offer birth control but they are a private organization and birth control isn’t that expensive for one to buy on their own. Most conservatives I know want the life of the unborn to be protected but believe birth control is a good thing. The fundamental debate is where life begins. An argument can be made for conception, but even most conservatives do not believe abortion should be banned immediately after conception. I always liked the first trimester rule. After the first trimester, the fetus starts to resemble a baby. I also think it is a decent compromise to a very polarized topic. Unfortunately, both sides love said polarization so they can galvanize their base.

You joke, but let’s not forget that planned parenthood initially started out as a means to keep the birth rate of African American babies low (utterly inhumane). China and India both use abortion to limit female offsprings for various reasons (India culturally due to dowry burdens).
