  1. It would be a horrible crime of my kid was laid off from the army. He owes them several more years due to his flight school contract. He'd be jobless, with a family. Oh the horror if he had to go to American Airlines, or United, or Southwest, etc. I'd rather he rejoin infantry before going to Spirit, but it's kinda the same thing.
  2. GF's son was active USAF. Served in Okinawa (where he met his wonderful wife), and did the Air National Guard thing after that. He's taken full advantage of his VA benefits, to his credit. He holds a Masters now, and his post USAF career has been SpaceX to Gulfstream to Clay Lacy to a private owner of a G650 which he manages as the "mechanic"....he schedules and oversees all maintenance, either routine or non-routine. When he joined the USAF, he was "almost" done with his Bachelor's. He had run out of the money that his trust had set-aside for his education, so, without informing either parent, he went to the recruiting office. He took the ASVAB, and, was eligible for most of the jobs due to his high score. He wanted to work on airplanes, particularly on the electronics. The job he wanted wasn't airplane specific. It included working on planes, or working on airports; the radars, lights, etc. He was smart enough to look at the fine print, and the airfield job required a driver's license. He intentionally ditched his DL before showing up to basic training, and told everybody that he didn't know how to drive. So, he cemented his position working on actual aircraft.
  3. Why? It's not like a fucking alcoholic weekend anchorman from a shitty network is in charge of the whole thing. (checks notes)
  4. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/04/03/army-mulling-dramatic-reduction-of-tens-of-thousands-of-troops.html
  5. "BGA" (bonesaw golf assn.)
  6. The "dignified transfer ceremony" was today at Dover. The Commander In Chief didn't attend. He is at a dinner in Florida for the Bonesaw Golf League. Priorities and whatnot.
  7. I remember years ago reading that Charles Barkley had become friendly with right-wing broadcaster Michael Savage. Somebody asked Barkley about him. Charles said "Michael's one of those guys that's really, really, smart, that's still a dumbass" they don't hold any cards. Because they have no hands.
  8. San Diego Padres are about to be in sole possession of first place in NL West. Dodgers are shitting the bed tonight. It's almost aggyesque.
  9. this needs to happen
  10. And the San Diego Padres are 7-0
  11. Padres about to collect another W
  12. more like "Art Briles'd"
  13. the ozempic supply will be cut off when we bomb Denmark.
  14. hopefully the motherfucker dies today so the whole argument is moot.
  15. ah. "Mira Sorvino eating an ice cream cone"
  16. fucking Sylvester dancing with that chick in the bikini has me rolling, no matter how many times I've seen it. https://youtu.be/ejDx-zn7M5Y for some reason "youtube doesn't allow embedding that video"
  17. Angels 4-1. As a lifelong Angels fan, I assume that they will end up 7-155.
  18. I didn't see the film, but, based on your post, I assume he looked like a complete fucking asshole cunt.
  19. so he looked "bloated' and "unhealthy", but you didn't have a clue that he may have been sick? Nobody's gonna call you "Doc"
  20. he looked terrible for the last few years so I can't say I'm surprised. I will die on the hill that his performance as Doc Holliday is as good as any actor has ever done any role.
  21. it's 6-0 now
  22. mookie 2 run jack. 2-1 dodgers. Fuckers are feeling the Padres heat and they're pressing.
