Military students from Saudi Arabia have resumed flight training at U.S. bases, nearly three months after a Saudi trainee shot and killed three U.S. Navy sailors at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida.
The U.S. Navy said in a statement that flight training for the Saudi students resumed Tuesday. The training for about 850 Saudis at multiple U.S. bases was suspended December 10, four days after the deadly shooting.
Operational training, such as flying and other non-classroom instruction, was allowed to restart once additional safety restrictions were put in place.
The Navy said new policies prohibit the possession of personally owned firearms by international students and limit foreign nationals to their assigned bases and facilities. International students must agree to the new policies in order to participate in U.S. training.
“The Navy is making every effort to minimize disruptions to our foreign national partners while implementing the revised security initiatives,” the Navy statement said.

Make a public show of taking action and when the public has forgotten quietly resume the program.
That headline does not inspire confidence in me. Gives me flashbacks to 9/11
What has changed to preclude an act of Jihad on American soil from ever happening again?
Bunch of Fing tards! Where the part about background screening? Their asshold government can afford flight simulators. Train there!
It will happen again What did POTUS get for reinstitution the program?
I hope President Trump tracks down the decision-making SOB with all those heavy stars on his lapel and busts him down to buck private. What is it with these dumb b***ards? (Hey, don’t put words in my mouth; maybe that’s UZZ.)
“International students must agree to the new policies in order to participate in U.S. training.”
That’s a relief!
As long as these Saudis agree not to commit acts of Terrorism, we should all feel safe.
And the attacks on our military will resume,...?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Just roll the students in. And don't let them have any pens.
What happened to our military? Are the training sites now “gun free zones”???? I can’t believe this.
You...don’t....let....them.....in.
The relinquished the right to train in the USA.
'You promise not to shoot any Americans?'
'Yes, we promise'.
Why are we teaching ragheads how to fly? I don’t see the raggy militaries teaching our guys anything.
This is dumb.
The training can take place in their Kingdom.
Think of the woman who took in the snake.
Or the frog that gave a ride to the scorpion...
How can foreign military guests even have “personally owned firearms?” Forbidding them is fine, but how come they have them in the first place?
That lasted about a month. Two months later we forgot.
So, the stupid government is again being played for a fool and admitting Saudi ARABS to flight training.
