You can’t paint the military with a broad brush of inefficiency. In Big Army, we were pretty inefficient but that’s not the total package. SOCOM is pretty darn efficient and lethal. Same as specialized units in other services. Any PMC that believes they can do as good as spec ops really isn’t...

Fake!

Totally real.

My dad sends me fake stuff all the time. Not sure if I’d call it AI. It’s just typical CGI. He usually says something like “how did they film this?” Easy, it’s not real. It used to be pretty obvious but it’s gotten to the point you really have to look close. What’s funny is, there are a bunch...

Most large corporations are also burdened with the same inefficiencies and waste as the military. You can’t serve in an organization (Army) with over 400,000 members and not see your share of red tape. Still doesn’t take away from its overall effectiveness.

I actually used to have a hangar in Ft Rucker area (KEDN). It was only $125 a month back then. Those days are long gone.

Is that code talk for any QBs living in the LA area?

Not just the mom complaining. It sounds like current and former group airman not liking the results of the report. Part of me gets it. I made the comment on the IP’s experience. Sounds like the whole lot is barely staying current. Combine that with a challenging airframe and the results are...

Pop…pop. :p

I think the old A-7 had something like that only illuminated. Had like two scales of paper maps that were projected onto a display.

Haven’t heard of that one.

Greenhouse ;)

Yeah in Okinawa I went to the E Club all the time because I lived on base. Like on deployment, when you can’t go out in town, you congregate in a make shift club on base. In the states there are far better places to go and if you live out in town, there’s not much point in driving back to base...

Funny scene in one of my favorite movies (The Bridges at Toko-Ri). William Holden shows up at an E Club looking for Mickey Rooney. MP at the front said Holden (Navy Lt) couldn’t come inside. They took their clubs seriously back then!

Call me old school but I don’t think combining alcohol and all ranks is a good idea in a club atmosphere. Now I get it, you can have that happen in a civilian club off base but to invite that type of gathering on base is looking for trouble. Plus, I think an E Club, NCO Club or an O Club, builds...

Whether it’s figurative, hyperbole or informal, the over use of the word gives me a headache…in the literal sense.

It’s amazing how bad they use it incorrectly too. “You will literally die when you see this!” No, no I won’t. Stopping saying that.

Members were commenting about you declaring an emergency based on your plan you brought up, not your actual situation. The first thread only covered how you got in and maintained VMC. The second thread you brought up a hypothetical plan of shooting a quasi RNAV with a VFR GPS in a non IFR...

They’re good at using the word “literally” in literally every conversation…literally.

Well pre 1996 that would be accurate. It can also mean “two sheets to the wind” or reference to an infamous room that used to be at the NAS Miramar O Club. ;) Some other bygone aviation weather abbreviations.
