“The reality is that pilots who don’t fly, maintainers who don’t maintain and controllers who don’t control are not going to stay with the company because we are not allowing them to be the very best they can be,” Goldfein said. “For me as a new chief, it’s about a balance between quality of...

I would kill for 150-200 hours a year. Most days I don't even remember how to turn the jet on. Hopefully threat pilots get as little flight time as me. Do Chinese pilots have to do DTS and SAPR training? What is the latest weapons school recommendation for how to get through cyber awareness...

FWIW the Navy and the Marine Corps only use an actual chamber during initial training. After that you jump in the sim and put on your mask and they slowly bring your O2 saturation down using nitrogen while you're flying so you can notice a degradation in performance. I think that is better...

CAS may be the USMC's bread and butter but to say that is basically what the TACAIR fleet does is at best a simplistic view of the world and at worst intentionally horrendously wrong.

When you look at the price for a new Super Hornet or Block 60 F-16 current F-35 costs are similar, and production isn't even to the point where costs have been driven down as far as the can be. Same thing for foreign designs like the Rafale and Eurofighter. One thing that isn't arguable is...

Does it come with ILS?

Better believe it. Dudes might be O-4 selects in their first fleet tour. I have a hard time believing the "pilot shortage" in the military is anything but self-inflicted. I can't even think about it anymore it pi$ses me off so much.

2 months shy of O-3? You must have been on the fast track. 2 months shy of TWO YEARS as an O-3 here, and I know others that were slower! What a waste of time...

Nope, USMC still has them

If sanitizing your flight suit is important then the DVIDS website is the greatest "opsec" leak in military history The military will waste your time for hours on end with computer based OPSEC training making you believe that if you don't take a different route to work every day your car is...

Are you really trying to say a Toyota pickup is the equivalent to a fake Rolex? A Tacoma is a "fake F-150?"

Douche

It would suck having to get up and deal with all the bull**** that is military life, then do your mission only to get **** on by douche nozzles like you. I think I have to go check my military e-mail because I'm on 1,000,000 hit lists for IA, SAPR, EO, government credit card, ethics, and who...

I'm in a similar situation in that I'm AD and want to get a masters. One thing I've decided is that I'm not going to do the online check in the box from a joke "university" for a degree that's only worth the paper it's written on. I know guys that went to top 5 schools while on their b-billets...

Top right above the horizon bar

Left of course going further left, turn left heading 120

I think that if you know you'll be using something in the future then you should try and incorporate it into your habit patterns right away. Every hour that you spend doing things different than how you will in the future is lost opportunity to build proficiency and expertise. I'd concede...

iPad mini with ForeFlight and a kneeboard holder / leg strap for it. You can (and I think should) start using it right away if that is how you envision yourself operating in the future. They're tools and you have to know how to use them, and have a backup tool/technique/systems (and be...

If your CFII thinks reading about it on the ground then playing with it on one flight is enough to effectively incorporate it into habit patterns, get a new CFII.

<1 year... at least for the USMC
