I have researched the Presidents border policy; he is again caught plagiarizing somebodies' idea.

Hillary wants half the country into forced deprograming from MAGA. She has to be one of the evilest women out there along with Lindsay Hill. After forced reeducation, next on the agenda will be. Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Heterosexual's, and Home schoolers.

This generations Merrill McPeak.

They used to have a B-52D on static display, reserve CLSS squadrons used to do their 2-week summer vacation just to keep it up. Those Squadrons were deactivated, and it corroded to crap and became a hazard, and was scrapped. All the aircraft like E-3's, KC-135's and F-15's that PACAF had possession of had major corrosion issues and stayed PDM longer.

NM governor, another rich white liberal woman listening to the good idea fairy. Then the View a program of rich liberal women complaining about the influx of illegals in NYC then proclaiming how proud that NYC is a sanctuary city. Were doomed.

He would just go back to his seat on the Board of Raytheon after he steers a bunch of contracts their way. The next administration will just pick someone who has deep ties to the military industrial complex

A HR guy once told me, if modern companies had no women in their ranks the HR dept they would not have a job. Seeing that new college graduates who put their preferred pronoun on their resumes are going straight into the G file.

A company in Florida is bringing back the PBY and going to do what Basler in Oshkosh did to the C-47. This company wants to ressurect the PBY 'Catalina' seaplane (interestingengineering.com)

Today's problem is that the pedo's see how the gays have been accepted into polite society. They use this as their foot in the door by saying we don't have a choice of our own sexual preference just like the gay community. They are trying to normalize that being sexually attracted to a small child is OK. Especially in Texas where pedos are murdered by parents whose children were destroyed by them unless it's in Travis County. Jury nullification everywhere else especially if all 12 jurors are parents. It doesn't matter if a DA is full on Soros funded lawyer, if children are hurt by these monsters the families will take justice into their own hands because the courts will fail in legality plus crowd funding will pay for the parents legal fees.

The problem is not an incomplete launch pad, the problem is down the line when one these Starships refuel on the moon and relaunch itself home or onto Mars. If it does this every time, landing it on the Mars will make a permanent fixture on the planet. Elon might have to build a ship like the Apollo Lunar landers carried by Starship. Each question answered brings ten more questions or problems that need to solve. Apollo was a tinker toy compared to this. Glad it's in the private sector, can't imagine a bunch GS 15's stabbing each other in the back and taking years to make simple changes.

Back in the day on Sept 30th I remember doing the ProSuper thing with my supply and RA guys taking the budget down to zero, I was looking at the all the 781K write ups and ordering parts for what we had in supply to clear them. Ordering stuff like gortex jackets, boots , Leatherman,. Nobody to this day could explain to me why we couldn't carry it over to the next years budget.

Back in the 80's and early 90's many Crew Chiefs had additional duty as Flight Mechanics and were awarded enlisted aircrew wings. Some units sent them to survival and SERE trng and after 2 years of active flying they became permanent. Also, SAC awarded Master Crew Chief or Technician badges which were not easy to get rewarded. But if you left those units to a TAC later ACC unit Chiefs wasted no time by telling Crew Chiefs to rip them off, plus if you wanted to see some little bitch's wear an issued leather flight jacket for the once-a-year blues inspection or a PME class with wings above your ribbon rack.

Looks like an invite list to a cocktail party to a swanky restaurant in Georgetown.

Never been on a failure but seeing Mx and Ops kick ass only to see supporting groups screw the pooch, didn't seem hard to pass, in SAC you followed the checklist to the letter and monkey got a banana. I guess away from the flight line mission focus is wanting followed by closing offices for functions or training.

When I came in the early 80's we had guys sporting little Hitler moosestaches , looked like hell, went TDY to Baggotville CFB and saw the USAF attachment all sporting beards due to the harsh conditions there in the winter. Have a reservist MSgt who works with me who got a Nordic waiver, I told him he should have a name tape in Nordic Rune's to answer any questions. I'm all for it, since we recognize all other interest groups with accommodations why not the Vikings.

Bit of useless trivia, the door gunner was originally casted as the drill Sgt , but the Gunny became a legend for his performance.

Don't you find this is not funny anymore since this first time in NORADs history that they have shot something down.

Why is it that every movie or show you watch about the CIA there are always agents, directors or political heads are always dirty except for Tom Clancy fiction. Guess the Hollywood writers just have to read the papers.

Guys who know me really think I'm a nice guy who is too brutally honest.

But from non rated officers in all the support functions they get leadership roles with enlisted troops when they are 2Lt's to until they get passed over for Major and leave as Capt.'s. This flying stuff really screws up more than it helps.

I'm still trying to figure out why I had mx officers. Here have some rope, let me know if you need some more. Dang! what happened to that guy, he was only here two weeks, Darn! I didn't even know his name. Only thing he said to me I'm a Cal Berkley Graduate and I'm smarter than you. Boy Howdy did he impress the shit out of me. The only ones I ever needed were O-5's and above. If I was King of the USAF, my plan was how Chuck Yeager started his career as a commissioned officer. He started as rated mx officer who flew all the FCF's and OCF's. Maybe it should go to the way the Naval Ops sq does it, pilots have to do leadership on the ground by leading mx troops. If your name was on the side of the jet, it was your responsibility to write the Crew Chiefs EPR and make sure he gets an end of tour medal. Rated Majors would run mx and hopefully by the time they get their own CC job they understand health of the fleet and just not sortie count. MX and Cop Sq's are huge and have very busy First Sgt's, if you know you know, historically those guys are treated like shit and are pounded with constant extended 12 hour shifts with no days off. Which to leads to why they are always undermanned because no one reenlists, the enlistee raises his hand the first time, but his family reenlists. Also bring back Warrant Officer, that way a technically shit hot E-5 or E-6 doesn't have to eat shit from the Top 3 so they get a decent board score. I retired an E-7 but I knew I would never be a Chief due to that I could never get off the flight line. Most of my fellow senior E's were nothing but backstabbing apple polishers, they were given jobs off the flight line just to get them out of the workflow because they suck. Unfortunately, they were the ones who made Chief due to showing they had diverse career broadening assignments, in reality they were getting moved every 6 months due to effing up that section they had to move them. Plus, their EPR was written in way that he was a water walker and not the Charlie foxtrot he was. The good ones were kept on the line and were manipulated by the Chiefs to make sure they stayed on the line making the Wing King money. My only shot of getting off the line was interviewing for a Wing Safety job. My incentive was a slot for the NTSB crash investigation course if I got that job. The Vice Wing CC interviewed me and told me then to report back Monday. This was a Thursday and started doing PCA paperwork. Friday morning get called into the Chiefs office, got told you're not going anywhere. He told me point blank you will be on that flight line with a brick and schedule to make sure we make that schedule. I'm sure if I was milk toast maintainer, I would have gotten that job because the guy who got it sure was.

Beware of the JFK file dump, it could make the US population distrust their govt even more.

RC-135's have extremely long missions, flying a KC-135 for long missions is hampered by the majority of the force is not receiver capable, the KC-135RT's are being retired, two are on the tarmac at Shepard as ground trainers plus the RT's center wing tanks are smaller and can't hold as much as a standard R model. The CFM's do use oil but if the proper servicing is done and maintained well, i.e., all oil leaks fixed 20 hr. missions should be no problem. 135's are on a calendar type inspection, every 5 years they go through a PDM, 72-hour preflight interval, 50-hour home station ck which includes landing gear strut reservicing, lowering the boom checking surge boots and shock absorber. After a couple B-1, B-52 or C-5 offloads the 135 is RTB. But RT's can push fuel through its receptacle through the boom into a standard R model but can't remember that capability was ever used. Maybe in my old SAC days when we practiced for the end of the world, we did practice lowering a boom and hooking up a hose to it, firing up an engine to refuel Buffs. Q now T models had to do that for the SR-71 when they IFE'd and diverted. JP-7 was hard to find.

I guess the next AZ gov won just like Biden won, just stay in basement and run from your opponent. I'm done. I no hope for my country when the young people vote the least common denominator. Cut your nuts off, sew your vagina up, kill the next generation in the womb, my body my choice except when it comes to covid vacs. Call for farming to end while you're wearing clothes made out of cotton.

Reminds me of the Pope midair when a F-16 collides with a C-130 in the pattern, the F-16 crashes into a parked C-141 loading paratroopers, many dead and horribly burned. Historical note, during WW2 this was a common occurrence over England when huge number of bombers were forming up on their way to Germany. Been up close and personal with that B-17 and the crew having many conversations with them plus helping them wrench. My thoughts with their families and the foundation that kept it flying.
