When I was in AF BMT, one of the classes that I was in involved testing with various.parameters.... some that we try to deliberately fail, in whatever way we thought would work. They were looking for ways in which draftees might deliberately fail tests. This was early ‘80s. I guess they’ve gone a different route...just take dumber volunteers.

My impression of the F-16 was that it was like sitting in a recliner on the front of a jet engine. There is zero extra room anywhere in the F-16. It's like the fighter planes of WW2. You don't sit in it as much as you wear it around you. It's surprising to walk up to it and see just how compact it's all put together.
I sat in an F-16 and have flown the simulator. The seat is high to give the pilot a better view and the seating is tight, not just in height but also shoulder width. We didn't see anyone with any excess body weight in the fighter squadrons despite most of them being Guard and Reserves.

The tests for enlisted personnel are all multiple choice, with four possible answers, as I recall. Let that sink in. 10%? Wow. A crow ought to grt 25%. In the classes I mentioned above, you’d have to know the correct answer to deliberately get a lowball score of 10%.

If Diversity makes you stronger, Austria-Hungary would have won WWI.

Yeah...the F-4 definitely felt like you were in a jet. The -16, on a jet. Trying to imagine that at speed or on takeoff and landing was mind-boggling.

Climbing into a B-52 was that way. There’s room to get to your seat. That’s about it.

It is the kind of leader that obama wants.

We are being conquered from the inside.
When the hammer falls our military will be too fat to run to their battle stations and too stupid to remember what to do when they get there.

If diversity makes us stronger, why does it require lower standards?

Bureaucrats just waive magic wands and fix everything. They assume an aircraft seat is just like the one in their Prius.

How did a man who has a grudge after about a parking spot dispute get so far?

Negroes with such heavy chips on their shoulders aren’t fit for military leadership.
