I find it tragic that this dolt was granted an appointment to West Point which in turn denied someone who loves their country the same appointment.

Looking forward to new threads about Space force dudes complaining about commanders forcing guys to do PT tests when they return from space after a year. Earths 1g gravity turning his troops into jelly fish on the beach. Wing stand up power points all in red.

So will there be enlisted in space or will it be just the domain of MIT types and Test pilots? So everybody who gets into space including the guy who fixes the plumbing be called a astronaut? Welcome aboard the Starship Enterprise with its crew of 4 rated guys and 600 duty pax.

We can't even fly on a FCF to get a decent debrief on what is happening on a jet so we can fix it.

Hey! We had Jerry the AWACS mascot dog in Turkey, we found her as a pup in Adana when the runway was being redone at Incirlik. Smart dog always found a way to get out . If any of you guys did ONW you might have seen her.

Maybe we should put all the blame on Bill Gates for having his minions for inventing the damn thing.

So? Were the Navy guys impressed?

It begins ,former SCOTUS Justice Stevens thinks the Second Amendment should be rescinded .https://insider.foxnews.com/2018/03/27/john-paul-stevens-calls-repeal-second-amendment-and-gun-control

I thought I was in heaven when I got regular mail service and read these things us old guys called letters that were soaked in perfume. Coffee was those tasters choice packets out of a MRE. When we got 2 week old Stars and Stripes we scored, crap somebody beat me to the crossword.

Did not use sir too much unless they were very senior to everybody. MX world we addressed officers by their rank, Capt, Major etc and of course the 2nd Lt whose life was being made miserable by a MX O-5 was addressed ell tee. If I was calling out a MX troop if in casual conversation I used their last name and if I started saying Amn Snuffy you know I was about to chew your ass. If my MX officer had a uniform infraction I would just make eye contact, point to my own uniform and he would look at his and fix the infraction, then I would just smile and walk away. Always keep it professional.

That's why God invented the CNC machine. I don't think there is much original sheetmetal or castings on a KC-135.

Not the first time that was thought of.

Get a bunch of F-16's into those old B-52 and KC-135 hangers to keep ice off them plus a 12K ft runway. Used to have F-106's there.

Plenty of room at Grand Forks, that would make Holloman a paradise.

Spent my remote there, got sick of Cod and mutton. Keflavik is Icelandic for don't knock it , it beats Kunsan. Goendian.

If I was Putin I would consider this an outstanding result with few casualties. Mission accomplished!

But on the other hand it shows how easily the FBI can be duped and that was probably the national security issue the "professionals" were worried about.

So some Democrats did not want Trump to be president. I'm Shocked! Other news water is still wet.

When they got back from the desert it usually took 12 hours of hard scrubbing to get them clean. Don't know what the standard is now?

Back in the late 90's we were using enlisted Aircrew to help wash E-3's, now that was some world class bitching.

I'm sure the word shithole was uttered when the white house press corp who followed Dubya to Crawford Tx when they started to bitch about no Starbucks for miles.

They will do what they always do, start shooting protesters, hard liner thugs going house to house terrorizing Persian Joe Six packs and their families. Only chance of change if young officers in the Army and Air Force say enough and neutralize the Revolutionary Guard the Mullahs muscle. What we can do in Iraq is to take on Iranian back Shiites who said they want to go after our guys who helped them with Isis. If Iraqis start killing Americans I see a pivot toward a independent Kurdistan armed to the teeth. Turkey won't risk locking horns with a NATO ally.

Then why are they taking kids straight out of basic, most just left High School and we all know the public school system does not get kids ready for college level work. Will they freeze out 7 level folks who most already have some college or a degree to just to make sure the young 18 year old are set up to fail so they can back to Congress and say we tried it and it doesn't work. Maybe we should look at the Israeli system of pilot selection where they look at the whole countries age specific population , service is mandatory, pick the best ones even though they only had 2 years in the infantry and get it over with mentality. The ASVAB would be a good metric to use like it is used for every other AFSC. Also would it be a total waste of money to send students through the training and completion of it just to say we changed our minds your going back to finance? What happens if they find the kid is exceptional, will he be regulated to the right seat his whole career? Will the AF make them Warrants? Can they transfer to the Army if the AF kills whole thing so their flight training does not go waste? What is the cost now per student?

Hmmh, You must think getting an A&P is a piece of cake and it only takes a year of formal training to produce a fully qualified Crew Chief and or specialist.
