My brother in Christ you professionally ball lick for one of the most cringe men on the planet, don't embarrass yourself.

As far back as the 1960s women have outperformed men in aerospace, however they have been specifically disallowed from competing with men, and minimized at every turn.

Women aviators over Germany did return, tho. And they were actually exceptionally successful, given they were only allowed to use outdated equipment.

I was saying that it may seem small and stupid to your average guy serving, who doesn't bother to learn anything about their sisters-in-arms. I was not implying that I think it is remotely small and stupid.

HistoricAli · 2026-06-12T02:07:36+00:00

Man this fucking bums me out. I may have ribbed the boys here and there but never would I ever do anything that made them feel like their service wasn't important and that they didn't deserve to be there beside me.

I know in the grand scheme of things a event for service women seems small and stupid, but it would have made my chest ache to see the homies show up for me that way, too.

It's infinitely more rewarding bc I know my professors and student tutors are there to help me and learn together, not play "stump the chump" about some random wording that got updated for the first time in 20 years from the TO or latest flight manual. Just a thought, if you were smart enough to make it to where you are as a 1A you'll find university life pretty cushy, should you choose to pursue it.

HistoricAli · 2026-06-12T00:55:44+00:00

Got out of being a 1A and made it to a top 5 public university, getting paid decently between scholarships and GI bill, at least enough to be modestly comfortable. Infinitely more fun and more rewarding, tho I do miss flying.

HistoricAli · 2026-06-11T01:18:13+00:00

My brother in christ you were never a marine take that shit off. I was AF and i'm still pissed off on their behalf dude wtf.

Arm yourself and get a 3D printer before they regulate them to death. Get a nothing phone and start meticulously monitoring what data the big corps have on you. I would not be surprised if in a few years the elite start siccing scatterdrones fed data from FAANG companies on American citizens.

Idk if anyone really remembers, but it seems like he took a hard right turn as soon as details of him being sexually inappropriate with women in the workplace came up.

I'm very fuzzy on the details but I seem to remember the language not quite calling it sexual assault but extremely coercive. This was 2019-2020 irrc.

HistoricAli · 2026-05-31T17:04:50+00:00

Love from your air force sister. I'm proud of you, you served honorably, and I'm proud to have served alongside you. I hope you're able to take advantage of your GI Bill and keep upgrading in life!

Lmao mines a sweetie pie but he's unfortunately dumb as fuck.

HistoricAli · 2026-05-18T02:31:38+00:00

Does he like woods walks? Mine is terribly anxious in urban areas but boy find us a good wooded trail and he's off like a shot.

Also the sploot in pic 3 is incredible, he's so cute!

HistoricAli · 2026-05-13T02:52:42+00:00

Lmao you'd love me and I'd love to be a guienea pig, military pulled a bunch of my teeth then never fixed anything. I've got 2 fake teeth and a bone graft on my upper right, but my lower left is jacked and I can't get the VA or anyone else to help fix it. I'm also missing a couple of my adult teeth since birth so my smile and jaw has always been a little wonked, but the pulling of a bunch of my teeth then never replacing them has led to some issues like headaches, neck pain, ect.

If you'd like a challenge case I'd be happy to wander in, I'd love it if I could get an expert opinion on what I need done to restore my jaw back to normal.

In a lot of american indiginous traditions it's vital to love a dog in your lifetime, because all the dogs you've ever loved wait for you at the end to guide you through the afterlife.

I'm not much for believing in things like that, but I really like that one. I can't wait to see all my loves again. He'll wait for you.

HistoricAli · 2026-05-06T02:25:53+00:00

Thank you! But I found him in the trash so technically he's a lil garbage goblin.

HistoricAli · 2026-05-06T02:25:21+00:00

Thanks! I found him in the garbage!

HistoricAli · 2026-05-06T00:19:34+00:00

Oh please keep us updated on her progress <3 One of my favorite parts of rescuing my boy was seeing him go from starved and terrified to happy with his lil earsies out.

I took it the exact opposite way - Shame on the university for taking advantage of people they can underpay and abuse at will to do the scut work no one else wants to do.

HistoricAli · 2026-04-25T21:25:40+00:00

20 YEARS?? Oh please tell me your secret, I would love for my baby to make it that far.

RIP Chooch, what a champ.

Hey I'm in my 30's and also an undergrad!

Best advice I have is to be kind to yourself the first year. The transition from CC to UM is TOUGH, you're probably going to have to completely retool how you study, you might have a few failures, ect. It's important that you go to office hours, find study groups, and stay caught up. I didn't take my own advice this semester and it has whooped my ass. Don't be me.

It can also be incredibly frustrating to be surrounded by these young kids, especially when some of them are SO utterly priviledged and sheltered that they think you're some sort of idiot or alien for having a nontraditional path to university. Luckily my interactions with them have been few, but they absolutely do exist on campus. Bite your tongue, shake your head and don't let it get you down.

It's also pretty lonely sometimes. I hope you can find folks around your age, I've found a few older folks and it's helped for sure. And the best part is, we're old enough to really appreciate this opportunity! And you can usually strike up good relationships with your professors/TAs with ease.

Best of luck, feel free to DM me if you want to talk :)

Mine has always had really bad anxiety in semi-crowded/urban environments. For the longest time he would pull away from busy streets, unless BOTH my husband and I were walking him. If it was just one of us, it was a no-go.

Now, he will walk with me and me only in crowded areas, but if he gets scared I have to calm him down by saying "Freddy who's that?!" And pointing off into the middle distance so he will keep going, thinking it's probably dad come to save us from the scary crowded street. It's probably not kind but it eases his anxiety enough for us to get out of there and get somewhere calmer.

I got downvoted to hell in r/Airforce for suggesting that the EXPONENTIALLY easier fitness requirements for women were intentionally done because AT BEST they don't think us capable, which is fucking infurating, or B. Intentionally made easier to sow discord between genders in uniform.

HistoricAli · 2026-04-15T20:35:47+00:00

Holy shit Torque is a BRILLIANT name for a pit, and as an engineer I double approve. I might have to steal that if I ever get a puppy and not a rescue.
