UKR is pumping out 200k/month...out of necessity.

It did...

It looks like a Toys-R-Us football...that is on a weird trajectory. Pete looks like he's going to rip off his shirt, display his Crusader tattoos, and challenge him to some Oklahoma drills. 😁

He knows about lethality when throwing shit on live TV though.

I laughed at this, bc as a skeds/Ops dude it rang true...you've gotten this fucking thing all the way through the sign-off hoops...and then your CO is apparently a volunteer firefighter and had to bounce out before signing this god damn albatross of a process...but cool, I guess he got to pull a...

I do remember the chaff/flare/.50 cal X's starting around June/July when higher hq dudes started worrying about getting rid of the shit prior to the end of the FY (can't remember the acronym for the budget item)...It was a waste and fucking stupid.

I don't know what is "revolutionary" or not, but this is: https://x.com/SarahLongwell25/status/1939842827036578035 I'm expecting a product review from @robav8r post-haste. 😁

It is funny that these dudes think our strategic bombers are going to show up on some flight tracking website...and that monitoring pizza deliveries to the Pentagon has cracked the code.

Well, pick up a new hobby, I guess. Running isn't for everyone. Your doctor sounds like an asshole also.

Is the "half your age + 7" no longer a cultural norm? It generally works...but to @CommodoreMid 's point, it's tiring to see her with the oversized cross necklace spewing bs in a sneering manner. She's obviously won the Mar-a-Lago Olympics...good for her.

Haha, no doubt. I do recall losing accountability of a desktop monitor as the RO working in the S-4. It was devastating... 😄 At least I was qualified to be in that job and had the requisite qualifications to be the RO...unlike Leavitt.

I do remember that..I was knee-deep in learning the ins and outs of how to fly a CH-53E and becoming a HAC, not justifying hyperbolic statements from my boss or pretending that I know what 14 x GBU-57's just did in a strike on Iran, over the apparent assessment of the IC. I liked my job at 27...

I'd probably trust NYT/CNN and their sources over noted BDA expert, 27 yr old Karoline Leavitt though.

In light of this DIA leak, it's time to finish the job with Operation Veiny Jackhammer.

Can someone please tell him he's not going to win the Nobel Peace prize and smash his phone while they're at it. https://x.com/IntelDoge/status/1937335054599938393

Not a fan of this VMI inclusion shit...Pete should order him to wear his wedding band like a goddam American. 😄

Somebody pointed out on X that Israel and the US are in a fierce competition to see who can come up with the most bad ass name for an ED pill you can get off a late-night infomercial. 😁 Rising Lion vs Midnight Hammer

Also, DNI Gabbard was out of the loop...or maybe she was just on a NG drill weekend and couldn't participate?

Is it an AF thing to wear your class ring on your left hand, and your wedding ring on your right?

I now use VA exclusively, but I still have Prime. When I used Prime, I didn't really like it....What I never understood was that if you were under Prime, and you somehow scheduled a specialist appt w/o your primary care manager's authorization, is how Tricare would treat that. I could be totally...

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I thought you were implying that there is a pool of citizen labor here that can offset migrant labor. Whether that migrant labor is here legally, or not, doesn't negate their need. That distinction is a failure of our politicians to get behind any...

I mean the USDA estimates that 42% of crop workers are currently undocumented. I fail to see a foreseeable future where American citizens will flock to the California central valley to pick crops. It's a fantasy. There is no labor pool to replace these folks in that industry, or others. It's...

I believe he just saw his birthday party attendance numbers... https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1934411897681727665 Need some @robav8r Biden analog analysis, so we're keeping this fair.

Generally, the Navy doesn't march their fat sailors in front of the Presidential reviewing stand though. Of course the Marine Corps wouldn't either, but that's probably because it's a more elite service.

@Lawman Taking this out of the politics domain, I did notice there were a noticeable number of overweight soldiers marching, and they didn't seem to march in time very well. Hopefully the Marine Corps and Navy can do some lessons learned and put on a crisper 250th Birthday celebration.

So did this chick on Fox...but that's neither here nor there.

I thought it was cool that some of the costs were defrayed by sponsors like Coinbase, Palantir and the UFC, then getting shout outs from the video screen at the reviewing stand. Also, soldiers along the route passing out cans of Dana White's new energy drink for free. /s

I honestly want to know what their internal process is before someone is allowed to hit send.

Happy Flag Day y'all....gulp. https://x.com/DeptofDefense/status/1933947548965781863

Not sure. I heard on a Signal chat with Pete that the Golden Knight demo with Lee Greenwood tandem jumping in is still a go or not. They're still figuring out if the wx will fuck up the coordination of "God Bless the USA" to follow the Army band's rendition of "YMCA" as they pass the reviewing...

Confirmation from POTUS that the wx go/no-go for the big "perade" has been met. Praise Jesus. https://x.com/trump_repost/status/1933885816289562905

Day 1 of Meta/OpenAI bootcamp.

It felt like Pete was about to have a Col Jessup moment.

When asked about classified markings, he asked for clarification about 'classified mark times?' It's what someone who is out of his depth would say...he did a lot of bs hand talking but looked like a child when questioned by other veterans.

Not sure if this is the correct thread...but fuck...this is uncomfortable. I'll give Moulton a big oohrah from the cheap seats. 😁

Apparently, the cost of retrofitting a petro-state Kingdom's unwanted 747 to AF1 standard is a national secret. Maybe we could squeeze some dollars out of that shit. Pete doesn't seem comfortable here.

It's possible we're looking at challenges to the 3rd Amendment...these 29 Palms Marines will not abide talks of LA dreams while sleeping on cold fed bldg floors. It will inevitably branch out to takeovers of granny flats, and unattached garages. I'd do the same if I was ever stationed at that...

I'd agree to being recalled if I could just do some good deal flights of the LA VFR Helo routes as a copilot TBH. Call it a 'show of force', or whatever...I'd just want some good pics.

I guess the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps will be celebrated by a victory parade after the Battle of LA is won by 29 Palms. :rolleyes:

Comments about this WSJ article? I'm lol'ing right now. https://x.com/AeroTech_Space/status/1931197395645210625

Someone told me that there are reports of illegal drug use by a major defense contractor...on it boss!

Speaking of colonoscopies, do it...but fuck... the shit you have to drink 24hrs prior is gross, but worth it. Also, get a shingles vaccine as soon as you're eligible, bc I got it on my face/scalp and it's not fun. For retirees, also make sure you know what benefits you rate from the VA vice...

No shit How often does everyone clutch pearls over their nuclear bluffs? As Joni Ernst explains, we're all going to die at some point. This is nothing but pure Russian disinfo...of course if you illegally occupy a territory and import citizens there...they'll be pro you. Do you take the...

It seems that UKR is following this up with a substantial attack on the Crimean Kerch Bridge rn...interesting. I guess they do have some cards left.

I guess I don't understand your point, and what the variety of reasons you mention are. The master strategist Putin since the full-scale invasion of UKR in 2022 has added two very capable militaries to NATO, further turning the Baltic Sea into Lake NATO. The Russians are approaching 1 million...

I'd be curious to know that with them taking out ~1/3 of their strategic bomber airframes...what's the PMC/FMC rate of their remaining fleet? I'm assuming they missed all the hangar queens.

Interesting things happening right now. Seems significant. https://x.com/KyivIndependent/status/1929129354455326949

The premise of your argument is...off. Nobody is arguing that. How about the West providing more air defense, so they can counter nightly terror bombings of their civilian population centers? Speak out about them executing POWs/kidnapping thousands of Ukranian children? What risks do you speak...

Nah, just keep supplying UKR with weapons and intel support...Not one US soldier has been harmed in this whole thing. Great return on investment. That money is being spent within the US, replenishing our stocks. Also, maybe actually tighten up sanctions a la the Graham-Blumenthal Senate...

Genuinely curious, where and why are you getting your Victoria Nuland/CIA/2014 info from? Post some links.
