Yeah, how about I show you a summer of $30k plus paychecks month after month with 15 days off and no BS to deal with… tell me you can’t find a sense of purpose. They abused my sense of purpose, now I’m in it for me. Go to the show!!!! Oh and enjoy roll call in the heritage room with the boys on Sunday of drill doing the real work part time on your own terms.

If you don’t have your airline apps in already, you’re behind the curve.

Here you go

Saw an IG meme summarizing a recent event at Littlerock. Sounds like leadership was down on their hands and knees pleading for pilots to stay and not go to the airlines. Anyone that was there have first hand intel? It’s a glorious event if true.

I actually did do two years USNR. All valid points and hence why I’m now ANG.

As a Hornet guy in the guard now, the USAF aus way more F’d up. The FNAEB process isn’t perfect, but it’s way more democratic/pragmatic. Just look at the outcome of the sky writers. You telling me the USAF would’ve ever let them keep their wings, let alone keep flying?

Says the USAF guy?!?

Low transition = suck the gear up as early as possible, stay as low as possible on the deck while gaining all the knots you can, pull up at end of runway, look cool. Doesnt work if you yank the gear with minimal flying speed and settle back down onto the runway.

Supposed known problem child trying to show off, settled onto the deck attempting a low tranny.

Heard from a reliable source it went down as advertised, failed low transition. Jet may be a strike.

SFOs are fun. Spend a day at NFL and you’ll see at least a 100 being done.

Then how’d he even sign for the jet?! I suspect the lack of use of his hand was the fear installed from SAPR training.

This would be consistent with what everyone who saw it thought was a low transition gone wrong. Still hard to believe it couldn’t fly away on one, it was a cool day and DA shouldn’t have been a factor.

Bout 2/3rds.

Rumor true. Low tranny gone bad.

I was 6'3" and 240 first time in the 'fuge. Hate running and it shows... Did 5.8 resting g tolerance. YMMV

Swipe my ass, that shit was funny.

Pretty easy when it's 1s and 0s and the computer can see precise energy states at every given moment. Let's see your super bot do it in a real jet, in real 1v1. Show me that computer/camera/sensor setup go 1.0 Pk and I'll be impressed.

Just picked up the new Navitimer 1884 (silly airline pay). Still want to add the X-33 to the collection. If anyone is running a list pm me for contact info. I'm in.

Heard the call sign "Doom" last night. Anyone know who that is? Best call sign ever.

Sorry but your would never see any self respecting Naval Aviator wearing a T-45 watch. It's a trainer...

A lot of retired O-5's and 6's killed in last few years working for these civilian/contractors. 1. Tactical aircraft have no business in a for profit operation, or any operation not 100% funded for full capability and safety. 2. If you survived long enough to retirement, do your family a solid and let it go man. Maybe we can stem the flow of retired brass turning into memorial services?

False, an A400 couldn't get off the ground with Chuck Norris on board.

Straight from the hiring manager at one of the big three to me personally: "If a candidate doesn't have 100 hours in the last 12 months, and a first class medical within six months, we don't even see their app." Take heed guys. Read the min requirements for each airline and make sure you meet every one. The upside is once you meet those wickets, your app magically reappears on their end. Good luck, you will get a call but you have to keep updating and networking. It's hard work, but you'll be rewarded handsomely.

I apologize for calling you a raging tool. I underestimated you and I am sorry. I hereby promote you to "Turbo-douche-rocket".
