    So if you disagree with him, your publically called out with your employer? Last time I checked, you can fight against ideas and people you disagree with, legally.  Calling out and labeling people like he did is weak intellectually and I’m sure there is some bullying law being broken.  Looks like he’s stalking people on Facebook as well, and he wonders why people think he’s a nut.  I guess he’s off his meds, not that all 3 people that read it would agree with him anyway.

    @Butters

    It’s hilarious that Butters fucks with him (donations and FB likes) on the outside.  I can only imagine how much further that’s pushing him over the edge.  And who moves the WA state and is surprised by the amount of liberals there?

    He’s got a DFC. Story behind it?

    He’s got 2, both for leading formation airfield seizures in OEF and OIF if I’m not mistaken.

    Worst leader I ever ran across since I entered the service in ‘92. We all dreaded going to work. 

    ATIS

    Interesting.  I had the complete opposite experience with his leadership (at multiple levels).  He’s got a great reputation in the Talon community, phenomenal pilot.  FWIW I’m pretty sure he’s not in running for AFSOC/CC, supposedly ruffled too many feathers when he was CJSOAC-A/CC.  Elton maybe, he’s headed to be the SOCOM J3 here this summer.

    So word around the camp fire is that it’s official that the next AFSOC CC is the one and only Jim Slife. My interactions with him were very minor, but the reputation is atrocious. Anybody have any better info or is this news appropriately placed in the “What’s Wrong with the Air Force” thread?

    It’s official, was announced by the DoD on Thursday.

    I’ve stated it before in this thread; the AF does not give a fuck about this program and does not value it highly when viewed alongside acquisitions like B-21, KC-46, F-35, next gen ICBM, 6th gen Air dominance, KC-Z, new advanced trainer etc.  SOCOM/AFSOC will not pursue acquisition of this by themselves; AFSOC is prioritizing-130J, more CV-22s, and next gen ISR.  Anyone who spontaneously ejaculated in excitement about the possibility of a “jet type light attack”  reading my previous post missed the point, the AF is going to continue to drag it’s feet and make vague statements until this goes the way of the dodo.

  5. Copy/pasted from a text a good buddy of mine in the know sent me 3 days ago:

    AF has fully pivoted to:  thanks congress for the money you gave us for light attack procurement this year.  We will use it for research and development instead iot buy a jet based LAA by 2020...forget the past two LAA experiments.

    In the words of the SAF/Financial Management Budget Liaison AO, "sorry man, they just don't give a fuck about you guys."

    That could be true...

    From CNN:  Sell Wall Bonds

    Who would set the coupon/maturity for this bond?  

    We haven’t sold war bonds, significantly raised taxes, nor forced the bulk of the American people to shoulder increased cost or responsibility for the wars that we’re approaching the 17.5 year point in yet this guy somehow thinks there’s going to be an outpouring of public investment for building a wall?

    There’s a reason ac-130 crews don’t haul cargo and airdrop as well. They could dual qual ac/mc, but you’d have probably get a poor product.  

    AFSOC toyed with this concept in the initial phase of the MC-130W program (what ultimately began the AC-130W).  It reared it’s head again during the General Fiel era.  At the end of the day they discovered (surprise) that AFSOC crews were specialized for a reason.  The amount of METLs required and the flight hours needed to be proficient in said METLs meant no one could possibly maintain proficiency at both MC/AC mission sets.

    A-29s made by SNC selected by Nigeria and approved for sale:

    https://alert5.com/2018/12/01/sierra-nevada-corp-given-contract-to-supply-12-a-29s-to-nigeria/

    But we still don't have one after 12+ years of "studying" it...

    You’ve got a better chance of seeing Jesus blow Buddha than anyone in the CAF flying a USAF Light Attack in the foreseeable future.  Barring some major shift in either USAF mentality or leadership the AF is going to continue to drag it’s feet on this until it eventually goes away.

    If they have one we need one...

    AG600 just made its first water landing:

    Article on it from Task  & Purpose:  https://taskandpurpose.com/china-ag600-amphibious-aircraft-landing/

     

    Yeah we can’t allow a “flying boat gap” to develop.  Probably need to prioritize this right after F-35, KC-46, B-21, new ICBM, Light Attack, 6th gen Air Dominance, hypersonics, nuclear cruise missile, fixing hurricane damaged F-22s, stopping the invasion of Central Americans, Space Force, maintaining the Afghan live fire training range........

    In other news, I have a reliable source telling me that all these years the chemtrails I’ve been diligently spraying are really compounds specifically designed to suppress red state voter turnout (I always wondered why we turned them on over Iowa). Well, I for one am disgusted by this practice and will be sending a letter to my congressional representative as well as Infowars, and probably that redstate.com website as well, blowing the top on this whole sick operation! Just as soon as I get my Alex Jones branded tin foil hat and penis enlargement ointment. 

    Don’t fall for that penis enlargement ointment trick, it’s another Deep State false flag plot.  Just lookup Anaconda Malt Liquor if you need proof.
