The Next President is...
I don’t know, I always thought Biden was pretty dumb. I’ve always thought he was kind of an idiot and crackpot going back to 2007-2008. It makes sense, if you were one of his or Kamala’s handlers part of the deep state swamp cesspool, wouldn’t you also want two blithering idiots that are easy to control?

Can’t legally purchase or own a firearm because he paid money to a hooker, ask yourself if that remotely makes sense. Lot of self righteousness here; we’ve all done worse in our younger days and you know it.

Went to mental health, got some tools that helped, nothing happened to career, still flying
Chaplain = 100% confidential as well.

These were valid options during the primary. Trump legitimately won his though.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
In other news in a deployed theater near you, Chief mafia is back in full force policing patches instead of, idk, being Chiefs and looking after the welfare of airmen. More concern with that than how our Airmen are affected by Iran and Israel in arguably one of the most unstable times in the Middle East. How we don’t get our asses kicked by China is beyond me.

Words from bros that are AOCs is the place is now pure toxicity. Surviving the next 1-2 years is their only concern.

World War III Updates
Multiple factors here: First, Iran does not want to escalate into openly armed conflict with either the U.S nor Israel. They want to poke the bear enough and save face enough without having to expend significant resources and lives in such a conflict. They are cowards but smart cowards. Second, yes the Iron Dome is pretty darn good. They are constantly upgrading it and we are helping them with it. Third, we have multiple Fighter Squadrons deployed here with their radars pointed towards Iran after alerted. They’ve done a fantastic job eliminating most threats flying from the East. They’ve been supported by an increased Joint Early Warning presence between Cruiser Destroyers, E-2s, etc. Iran is also learning how to circumvent this increased presence.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
It’s time for the Air Force to follow suite. I’ve had strat lists thrown back at my face by a female commander because “not enough females,” I’ve had Wing leadership specifically ask for specific minority groups for certain positions or developmental opportunities; best qualified was seldom the criteria.

World War III Updates
The GAF factor of the Israelis never ceases to amaze me. What an awesome group of people. Glad we continue to support them over these medieval jackasses.

B-1s dodging SAMs?
For real, you want to see some arrogant pricks, meet an Army “Combat Arms” officer. When I worked a Joint Staff assignment with them, when they got lippy I asked why my passengers were PMSing!?

Right? Just like debating term limits is futile as those who can enact it don’t benefit from it.

You’re picking and choosing; conveniently forgetting the virtual end to ISIS, conservative Supreme Court justices, zero additional foreign entanglements, strong national economy, record low border crossings, low taxes (I did the math), and so on. I never said awesome or perfect policies. You asked what his policies were and there are plenty to chose from during his tenure

Personally, I wanted Nikki Haley. But here we are and if Trump can put an end to the liberal madness these past few years, then I don’t give a shit if he says mean things or hooked up with a stripper. People keep saying the Republican Party should cut ties with him; doesn’t work like that when the republican voters voted him as their primary candidate unlike being propped up for being a woman of color by the Democratic machine with zero primary votes.

Were you asleep between 2016 and 2020?

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Ha, don’t take my word for it, ask anyone in AMC. For the tail flashes, it’s more for when we are conducting routine ops at various locations oversees, no need for those taking pictures outside the fence to know which unit and base these planes come from. It’s not a straights of Taiwan tactic.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
One of the best leaders in the Air Force and that’s what comes to mind? Concealing tail flashes completely makes sense when you consider how good our adversaries are in building PoL for us.

Who's Really Flying The Plane?
Not saying we can’t learn from the Marines, and not saying our 0-6 circle jerk isn’t a thing because it actually is, but Marine “ACE” exists solely around supporting the riflemen and CAS; quite different from Air Force ACE which exists to support the air scheme of maneuver from dispersed and unpredictable locations.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
Anyone know what’s going on at Laughlin? T-1 Squadron Commander fired within 2 months of taking command.

Finally done in Afghanistan?
No, Yes of course, not sure I know this, the whole world watched us F that situation away. If you were an emergent regional power and you saw that, how much faith would you have in the United States? It’s no wonder you are seeing the rise of coalitions like BRICS. We have become a laughing stock.

The Next President is...
New woman working in the office. She whores around with the CEO and gets promoted. She’s now in charge of HR. She fired a bunch of people who failed drug tests, later bragging and laughing about doing drugs herself, highlighting her lack of integrity from the get go. New CEO is a halfwit brain dead crackpot, told my the board his new VP needs to be a woman of color. He hired said woman as she checks all the boxes. Everyone hates her, she has a new assistant every week. She’s put in charge of the company’s cyber security, the company basically goes into lockdown because she was so incompetent at that task. Company’s stock in the gutter and they are about to file for bankruptcy as other competitors blow them out of the water. Now the board wants to hire said woman as the new CEO. (You are here now) I’ll vote for Trump ten times over than that affirmative action California tramp who said idly while the rest of our world burns (literally, how did you like those pictures from Kabul). Unless you were a deadbeat, 2016-2020 were some of the best years for this country.

Delayed B Course Date
Not seeing the problem here? Every MDS needs pilots in the mean time. Going through 38s doesn’t entitle you to a fighter. When I went through 38s you maybe had 1 fighter in a class of six, maybe two.

Sorry, who are you again?

Is the T-1 totally retired from the UPT syllabus?
And it’s stupid because we promote faster than every other service. Even without BPZ 0-5s and 0-6s are promoting 1-2 years ahead of other services. It does us a disservice in a joint environment because the Air Force officer is usually younger and less seasoned. Not to mention that is often their first time in a joint operational or planning environment where their Army counterpart has lived in this environment since they were a 1lt.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Is it though? Supt is a sunset position but almost every commandant has gone on, both Clark and Moga were commandant and then went on to be 3rd AF/CC.

Flight Evaluation Board
He did say he hasn’t been given the official reason by his leadership, he probably has a hunch. Would be helpful to know what it’s for prior to giving advice though.
