    ACIP increase for all my (USMC) friends

    That actually do something tho. Unlike u and me.

    ACIP increase for all my (USMC) friends

    Negative. I meant I know who you, personally, are. And I am, structurally, assured to never work for you, is that not explicit enough?

    Shortest time at sea?

    This article also doesn’t take into account detachments. All the fixed wing FRS would be significantl farther up the list of it did.

    It’s an acquired taste.

    ACIP increase for all my (USMC) friends

    Back from what? I guess if you’re no good at anything else, this is a reasonable job, FYI—I am aware of you and have secured the necessary guarantees that you will NEVER be me boss. So no worries...

    If you have a savings account with USAA do yourself a favor and look at Ally.

    Their car insurance is shitty even when you are active duty. Geico blew them out of the water for my auto policy.

    Just to be clear, I’m plagiarizing these. As is custom.

    Killing with Keyboards/ Good OPSEC Brief

    Ya, sorry, not familiar with the intricacies of Strava. I only wear my NAVAIR-issue hypoxia garmin with the broken “flying” app. Some admiral uploaded a shit load of money into that boondoggle.

    Whidbey commutes and PNW Traffic Circle Esoterica

    Or when they install an automatic gate and realize mid-construction it’s not certified so now you have a very fancy manually operated gate that serves a third of the base and is only open 5 hrs a day, not on weekends, and never within three weeks of Christmas. Fucking beautiful.

    Nuts that we’re still using the same training assets nigh on 30 years later.

    Killing with Keyboards/ Good OPSEC Brief

    Jesus, it’s a Russian AGI off our own coast. Same one that swings by oh, I dunno, every year. This is hardly an OPSEC emergency. Reminds me of the ships company folks losing their mind over port call dates. Never mind the hundreds of folks at husbanding agencies, shipyard workers, etc, who know...

    NEWS Former Hornet Driver Flies Cross country In Cessna 172 for Fox News

    Nah it’s your love affair with jumping into any thread I’m involved—not implying it as an insult at all. If you remember, the famous line from the movie: “I wish I could quit you.” If you read it that way, it’s on you. The glib thing is cute, but you’re not offering a ton of substance here...

    NEWS Former Hornet Driver Flies Cross country In Cessna 172 for Fox News

    You’re confusing issues. My critique was two-pronged. First issue: Your lack of experience is perfectly ripe for criticism in the context of when to take a jet. Her military experience doesn’t prevent her from presenting news. It certainly gives her a leg-up on reporting military issues from...

    NEWS Former Hornet Driver Flies Cross country In Cessna 172 for Fox News

    This is patently false, Pickle, and a perfect example of why you “don’t get it.” The rest of your argument is typical “stupid proud masculine knuckle dragger” drivel that doesn’t warrant a response. Why do I have a strong feeling many of you eschew/have a dearth of equitable relationships with...

    NEWS Former Hornet Driver Flies Cross country In Cessna 172 for Fox News

    Gotta agree with wink in this one. I don’t give a shit of you washed out of API—I care about the quality of reporting. Sure, they may not have “been there done that” but on the other hand too much military experience has a tendency to blind folks to realities that they don’t agree with or...

    The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

    Watched some lady's clearly untrained "emotional support animal" (a beagle mix) piss on like 3 different corners at SeaTac 2 weeks ago. I asked her "what the fuck is wrong with her animal" after she indicated she had no itention of cleaning up the piss. She was taken aback and muttered under her...

    Rafales to cruise on GHWB

    Imagine if we had a system in place to pay for things on ships, and that system was directly linked to your identity, and we gave out cards with microchips that tracker what you purchased or used. Maybe we could even call it “ship money” or “maritime bucks.” I agree, seems like it would be...

    I mean we already economically incentivize getting married and knocking up your girlfriend, may as well incentivize something that actually helps the services.

    Rafales to cruise on GHWB

    Snark aside, if we’re talking policy, I’m sure one could be fashioned that involved enough of the ship being sober to handle a casualty. Maybe we could divide the sailors into “sections” that stand “Duty” or something...I imagine drinking would be restricted during high risk maneuvers or ops. I...

    Counterpoint: a non-trivial portion of every ships crew already boozes underway. Still worth it?

    He’s far from fucking brilliant. Atheism and being a provacateur is no longer impressive. Sam Harris used to be good but he’s turned into a modern Dawkins.

    Tiltrotor are “V” designations, and they’ll be Navy, not Marines, so it should remain VRC.
