  • Here’s my answer by proxy to your 3 sentence challenge above:   1. I’m a pilot. 2. You’re not and want to be. 3. We’ve offered advice and you’ve argued about it’s merits so fuck yo

  • I agree. Strong opinions are the benchmark of a solid future USAF pilot. Be sure to keep a stiff upper lip and don’t be afraid to share your opinions at UPT. Your IP’s will recognize this and reward y

That's what has me baffled.

Ya know, back in the day, if a self-important, un-self-aware nugget showed up to UPT, opened his mouth, and this tripe spilled out of it, he would have had (in person) the exact type of no-nonsense attitude adjustment the dignified members of BaseOps have attempted to give him here.

Let's hope that the bro-level IPs at CBM show him the same courtesy our IPs showed us when we were ignorant dumbasses that didn't know a f'in' thing about a f'in' thing but walked around as if we did.

"Never pass up the opportunity to keep your mouth shut."  

His end of course critiques are going to be solid gold.

I appreciate the fan mail but you should try explaining your comment . Insults without context seems strange to me. You don’t like what I said, ok I challenge you to tell me why in not less than 3 sentences.

Why? You people love to give advice but with no explanation 

Let’s be honest with ourselves here. You smarted off to someone who was trying to give you some advice and the rest of the group smelled blood in the water.

The thing is that I am not in UPT. I am just talking to some guys who think highly of themselves without really ever saying why. The irony is that the whole discussion started  becuse I had a question about driving to UPT and buying a car

Having turned up to UPT not owning a car (sold mine prior, wife was in an accident and the other was written off), I would highly recommend avoiding it if at all possible. Often the location you end up in...will have a pretty poor car market.

As far as that particular piece of advice, you will hear it more than once when you arrive at whatever base you arrive at. If you continue to question it, and the reasoning behind it, you are going to have a bad time. This thread should have stopped somewhere around post 6-9 when you had already made your decision. You continuing to antagonize, and not just shut the f*** up as suggested, will not serve you well if you make it a habit. You are going to be given feedback about everything you do, you are expected to say 'Yes Sir' and run with that advice, not debate whether it is valid. But sure, try it and see how much fun you have. Worked out great for one of the dudes in my class...

Censorship...

Here’s my answer by proxy to your 3 sentence challenge above:

 

1. I’m a pilot.

2. You’re not and want to be.

3. We’ve offered advice and you’ve argued about it’s merits so fuck you.

That succinct enough?

I have read lots of your posts and respect your opinion . As far as I can tell , outside of a few intelligent pieces of advice, no one has given me any advice and if I smarted off to anyone it’s because I was insulted first. If you want to point out who gave me that great advice and I smart mouth him , I will more than willing to apologize. As for the rest, who are chiming in, makes no difference to me. I enjoy the banter and will keep respond every time I get attacked. I would guess a moderator will stop it in the long run . But I have to tell you ,  I like having political discussions with left wing snowflakes and I have to say the responses from most of the people here are are just as inane as I get from the snowflakes . Insults with Nothing to back it up with. Just because u say something doesn’t make it so

Never answered my question. Why don't you just take the Charger you have?

Thanks for the advice. However u are mistaken . After several insulting posts someone did give me advice . I responded that I would prefer to fly , got insulted again and I responded. You r right it should have ended after post 6, but they keep coming after me . I know it entertains them . But I like writing long posts so it’s fin for me. So I respond . U want me to stop posting, stop attacking. For goodness  sakes, stop acting like this is UPT when it isn’t

Oh man...here’s some advice...these forums aren’t as anonymous as you may think...I’d stop digging your grave ASAP. 

And I’ve flown w hacker, I think highly of him, and he’s a fucking boss so fuck you.

That is what is called quibbling. That will not go well. Start picking your backup job, you won't make it through UPT if you don't listen.

I thought I did  . I got it from my dad after he got a new car and it is on its last legs. Definitely wouldn’t make it cross country

Quibbling? Should we go look at each post and see how many were insults and how actually gave any real advice? It isn’t even close. This is how it went . Should I do A. No you should do B.  How about If i  do  C Instead?  Then the insults come and of course I won’t make it through UPT. Seems like an intelligent way to have a discussion

SHACK

Dear Mother of Mary listen to this small bit of advice.

That means walk away from this thread most quickly.
