    CFA timeline - end of July?

    When the candidate's portal opens, the "DEADLINE" for submissions is clearly listed. Right now the ones I'm seeing are November 15th. SO...that means that everything the candidate controls is due NLT 15 November. Those things they do NOT control (nominations, DODMERB, and such) are due...

    USAF Officer/ Instructor Dies after the ejection seat activated from a T6 Texan while on the ground

    I haven't heard of any ACES 5's in the T-6 community; they're still using the LW Martin Baker. The ACES 5 is slated for the T-7 from what I've heard. Still...I really wonder how this happened. The LWMB is a 0-0 seat... Just tragic.😭

    AI Pilot in F-16 Dogfight with Human F-16 Pilots

    "Real-Time sensor and mission data and probably fairly high bandwidth requirements" Exactly! I can quickly ascertain the SA required but then...to get the information as you describe...I'm trying to wrap my head around the methodology... Eh, I'm an operator...that's for those wizards that...

    AI Pilot in F-16 Dogfight with Human F-16 Pilots

    The IP in the backseat has full control of the aircraft simply by taking the controls. This is not new; well, it is, but it's been going on for a while. And it's the future of aerial warfare. The USAF can't keep buying these astronomically priced Gen 5 aircraft; Congress won't approve of it...

    Your Son/Daughter is Going Where?? Round 2

    It happens now... SHORT version...thread hijack...but it could apply anywhere. I had a good cadet...freshman and sophomore years. However, I was convinced he did weed. His mom said she'd "find out." So one day, she came home early to find him and friends in the backyard...yep, they were...

    United States Naval Academy vs Brown BS/MD

    Folks, the VAST majority here are having a great, informative conversation. That's what we love. I put a member in "time out" tonight. He made a wholly unacceptable comment. I informed him why I was doing this. After some reflection, he'll be free to return. We all make mistakes, but when...
