We actually had an FCIF for a while because of F-22 pilots and their landing gear shenanigans.

I lived in Utah when they used the firing squad in the 90s. The only people who were opposed to that method were the ones opposed to capital punishment in general. I don't think you'll find too many pro-death penalty folks who get squeamish about the firing squad. Maybe the chair, if they're actually familiar with it.

BadOptics posted:This; black looks good and is compliant with most if not all uniforms (at least for the Air Force). I'm still holding onto my APECS in hopes that someone'll figure out a good way to dye it without ruining it. I hit google up about once a year. Great jacket, but gently caress you if I'm ever putting that garbage pattern on again. I'm glad the AF is switching to the same uniform as the Army and Russians. Also, there are people who collect the Oakley stuff. I ran into a guy at the airport last month who questioned me about my backpack; he's got a couple dozen Oakley bags because he started collecting them when he was in the Army and he thought he had all of them. He started the conversation with "What year is your bag?" which was odd.

Fister Roboto posted:This poo poo is so loving stupid. It's like saying we need the Air Force to fight sky pirates, but also if it was 1870 and our best flight capability was hot air balloons. We stumbled into solving this problem correctly, by reestablishing USSPACECOM. That's where it should stop, for at least a couple of decades. Will we have a need for a separate branch? If we live long enough, sure. Do we now, or in the foreseeable future? No.

BigDave posted:They drive the SA-300 missile system, that's about as top of the line as you can get for a air defense network. With that, and their interceptior force, they will successfully shoot down strike aircraft, and they will do so in large enough numbers to effectively negate American air superiority. They'll slow our ability to gain air superiority, and we'll get a bloody nose in the air like we haven't since early in the Vietnam War. Even if our performance isn't particularly good (and I very much expect the USAF/USN would outperform their Iranian counterparts), we'd win the war of attrition in the air.

holocaust bloopers posted:As of 2003, we had the option to attend services or hang out in the dorms. There was no pushing. OTS, same. When I was in ROTC, it wasn't discussed at all. Now, this was at the U of U, which is BYU's rival so it kind of prides itself on not being religious, but I don't remember a single conversation that touched on religion except as a way to mock BYU.

ded posted:In-and-out is good, but for a few dollars more Habit has it beat by a mile. It's pretty much the best fastfood burger you can get. There's a Habit across the street from our In N Out. I've driven past it daily for a year, but never been. Edit: I dunno how people go crazy for In N Out. It's good, but like the most generic burger there is. I like the animal style fries, but let's face it that's nothing special. That said, it was always a thing we'd do every TDY to Vegas, and I'm due for another visit soon.

Xenoborg posted:One of my coworkers today started talking unprompted about how the US should just annex Mexico because they aren’t able to govern themselves and have lots of natural resources we can take. I made up a meeting I had to go to. Is that an idea going around? Just point out that all illegal aliens (because they're all Mexican, of course) would become American citizens. ded posted:Robin Olds wrote about it in his book. I can't remember the exacts but they had higher problems of incidents due to pilots trying to push the planes well past what they are supposed to do because well, they are the same plane. Also that the training value was much less due to... training against the same drat aircraft. About 90% or more of our aerial combat training is against similar aircraft, so I would call it a non-issue at this point. Training rules are VASTLY different than they were in Olds' day. DACT is great when you can get it, but that usually involves sending a few dozen people TDY and the budget for that has been tight for the past...oh, 25 years. Unless you're traveling to an exercise/event (Red Flag, Combat Archer, supporting a school) it's rare. The only reason the F-22 wings have T-38 squadrons to fight is because it's too loving easy for them to beat up on F-15s and 16s. Godholio fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Jun 1, 2019 |
