I remember in the 90s during Southern Watch it was known as an AWACS killer. Just listened to Peter Zeihan this morning, the Russian space program took a hit with a failed Soyuz launch, the crew made it through. They are running out of old ICBM boosters to get them to the ISS and are losing their ability to maintain their satellites in orbit now. With Boeing looking bad with Starliner after $4 billion spent with a fixed contract, inability to give cost overruns to the taxpayers, it was their business model for years. Space X same contract $2 billion and they have Dragon a super reliable platform. No wonder General Atomics got the contract for the new NEACPs using a Boeing platform.

STOVL systems have way too many moving parts, just like helicopters, if one part fails the damn thing crashes.

Seems like a big waste of time to have a bunch of flag officers tied up in a trial for another flag officer who couldn't keep his pecker in his pants. But on the other hand, I hope IF he is found guilty, they stick his head on traitor's gate or Leavenworth as stern warning to other Generals that they are not omnipotent. Plus, Mother USAF could do some soul searching to find out why these guys keep reaching these positions. But I would not be surprised if the jury circles the wagons to protect one of their own with an acquittal and retirement in grade.

Shouldn't the AFOSI be in charge of this investigation since the SRA was govt property to include autopsy? If the Deputy is found to be guilty of murder wouldn't he be handed over to the FBI/ US Marshalls, then a federal jail and charges. Or was NCIS Special Agent Leroy Gibbs lying to me?

I retired in 03 with 20%, more or less the VA telling me to go away. Then I retired to a rural county in Colorado and discovered an VSO whose goal was to get every Vet in the county a disabled vet license plate and concurrent pay. I'm up to 50% with back pay. Too bad I didn't find a guy like this in Oklahoma.

Wish I had the opportunity to do this when I was on AD instead of being told by an E-8 all you do is deploy and do your job. Surprised not to see degree requirements in this. Has big blue finally seen the light, that Senior NCO's have become mostly a class of perfumed princes. It will be a great opportunity for SSgts and TSgts who will never make MSgt due to circumstances that they will never have a good enough board score.

I remember getting orders to deploy instead just of a normal TDY orders of just getting on the jet and go. You had to go different base agencies for two days to get signatures on a deployment checklist. Half the time the owners of these signatures were on leave, lunch , appointment etc. Some agencies were appointment only and the earliest was when your already in the AOR for a week. We got around it by signing the checklist ourselves one guy signing off finance, med, etc . We were a tenant unit so we had to deal with a home base AFMC that did not have war fighting posture so zero urgency to get anything done. We went through the deployment line just before we got on a MD-11 to somewhere and the AFMC troops had no idea the checklists were pencil whipped.

Today watching Tim Pool he informed his audience that You Tube has deleted some of his shows for violating You Tube rules. Who owns You Tube , Google does, what are the two biggest share holders of Google, Vanguard and Blackrock. In fact look at every major media corporation who are the two largest shareholders, the same. They almost have controlling interest in every Fortune 500 corporation. It will be just like 2016 again with alternate media types getting deplatformed for fact checking the mainstream media. Don't even get me started on the on the military industrial complex and who has majority interest.

He is there because WEF, Blackrock and Vanguard want him in that chair.

Was passing through Kandahar 2012 timeframe and saw NASA WB-57s there. Could only guess what they were doing.

How about the idiots who vote for the idiots that run Denver. It's getting to the point that the Peterson SFB commissary is the most north I want to go in Colorado. Have to go to Boulder for a forest fire fighter class soon, looking forward to all the rainbow hair color spectrum LBGTQ I'll be seeing.

Tanker friend of mine said those are the doors that are supposed to open during an ammo cook off, its out of action but repairable and the crew should have survived. There is a US Abrams video during the Thunder run through Baghdad that got hit and we saw the crew jumping out of it, some of them on fire dousing themselves with bottled water.

That would be great if all these guys who think of shooting up a school just yell free Palestine and douse themselves in 110LL, at least some part of the population would love them.

too soon?

Who had this on their bingo card? Knowing how senior leadership overreacts, I can see all items that can light a fire in the BX removed from the shelfs and shutting down the gas station. Why is he not wearing a reflective belt? Yes, I have no sympathy for this moron.

I retired final pay which means 53.5% after 23 years. So, they won't increase your retirement, can't get promoted and still deploy, I just retired from my USAF civilian job. You know what!? It's nice not have to worry about airplanes and sortie counts.

I listened to the whole interview, good thing I like history. Of course, the cool kids who appear on Sunday morning news shows scream he is not a journalist but a traitor (to the class of people who are on the DC cocktail party circuit which he used to be part of). My 5 years at Andrews being the fly on the wall made me despise these people both parties. The question I want answered, who the hell is telling the truth? This Tucker interview came across my feed, now I'm scratching my head. Who do I believe, who did I serve, we all know Iraq was a lie.

The USAF is thinking of bringing back WO's, if I was a SSgt or TSgt I would jump at the opportunity to get a pay increase and not having to put up with the Top 3 who makes your life miserable with them all backstabbing each other to get a senior rater endorsement. Air Force may bring back warrant officers to boost technical expertise (airforcetimes.com)

I was thinking it was Custer.

I hope Abbott and Biden have a sit down on this. The way the border is defended is wrong, the immigration situation should be settled at a US consulate in whatever country of origin with a proper visa. If not fly them up to Fairbanks in winter or Death Valley in the summer. What I'm scared of is some overzealous Fed will kill a Texas Guardsman for refusing to comply then Eagle Creek turns into the Gaza. DOJ starts charging Americans who ever said online that Biden is a moron with sedition and the active-duty military rank and file refuses to point guns at MAGA Americans which the Democrats would love seeing eradicated. Sounds like it's a good time to have a convention of states to get needed things done in which the Feds and Congress are unwilling to do because it means relinquishing power.

I remember the AFLC Command Chief being a player and getting busted down to E-1

When she gets through UPT then the FTU and upgrades, the question is would the USAF let her fly an operational mission that is in a high threat environment? Think of the propaganda coup if she showed up as an POW video from the bad guys. Hey guys we shot down Miss America!! Oh!! never mind she is enrolled at Harvard getting a master's in public policy, to go along with her degree in physics from the USAFA.
