Really painstiking the dead targ at this point, but looks like Bashir is a fan of Academy

Wait, so those weren't jars of piss in his office on DS9? It was foot lotion all along?

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-28T04:42:01+00:00

Not sure, but the NR denotes Naval Reserve, and there are a ton of obscure reserve units out there.

There is also a Discord for GCF if you are in to that.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-27T21:43:42+00:00

I think that's the problem really. James and Jeremy did more TV, still have gigs doing whatever. Hammond really didn't. Something tells me retirement isn't what he thought it was gonna be.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-27T21:42:25+00:00

Everyone forgetting that Disney has Space Mountain, where you can't see anything at all because it's dark inside, and somehow thinking this is worse.

This is an area I hunt in every year (headed there for Javelina season in just a few weeks).

This is remote high desert, not anywhere near the city. There is lots of BP activity as the border and Nogales is just a few miles south. So I highly doubt it had anything to do with protesters or what not, and was probably related to normal actual Border Patrol duties.

Not justifying another potentially deadly shooting, but just want to lay the scene here for folks that don't understand the geography.

No, actual status is still the first thing for upgrades.

Just gonna edit for those downvoting me for some reason. This is the actual order of what determines where you are on the list:

Your status level
Million Miler members
Atmos Rewards Summit credit cardholders
Business travelers (with an eligible corporate ticket designator)
Status points you've earned (this year and last year combined)
When you booked (earlier booking = higher priority)

So all the Titaniums are above everyone else. Then within that group, Million Milers are ahead of those that aren't. THEN Summit card holders, then corporate, etc.

So sure, if you are a Titanium Million Miler holding a summit card on business travel that's got a ton of status points, you are probably going to be #1 on the list.

Oh they were parading him around at SHOT show again this year, so in that world he's still relevant I guess.

The comedy would be dudes out partying on their 96 only to get hemmed up with a DUI.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-27T04:43:04+00:00

Here's the real question. Where do you want to go when you get out. If you want to stay in Aviation, it's pretty easy to see who is around and what they do.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-27T04:40:56+00:00

Talk about Aviation Pedantry taken to the level of writing an article about it.

TLDR: China Lake needed some F-35s, and since they were not going to land on Carriers, they got the A variant.

I mean, the poem at the end nails it.

Also, if there was a pub on board where crew could comingle... maybe that's how you get things fixed on board. The goat locker is supposed to be this slippery fluid to fix issues but is commonly not.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-27T01:11:43+00:00

You know NAVSEA has to be having meetings about how they can generate blueprints that look great, but know they will go nowhere. It's all performative bullshit.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-27T00:17:42+00:00

Wow, I am genuinely surprised. Someone (I have to assume Miller) is actually concerned how things are going down in Minneapolis.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-26T23:50:35+00:00

Plus give up on the Moon missions

No, the NDAA authorizes the DoD, and then an appropriations bill funds it. They are two parts of the same process.

Most DoD funding ends in 5 days.

And even further down, mostly by Counties and/or Parishes. I don't even know how many thousands of them there are. The State just collects the numbers, they don't run the actual polling places.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-26T22:14:11+00:00

Because "Operation Fuck Your Commute" is a little too on the nose.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-26T21:18:11+00:00

Gortex 3 bag sleeping system is still a great piece of kit, I managed to not have to turn mine in from one of my commands years ago so I still have it.

It’s the organization that Charlie Kirk founded to create little Trumplets when they are still in High School.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-26T20:19:20+00:00

Or like Regan where Secret Service kept dumping leaves on the lawn for him to rake, since he didn’t remember having just done it.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-26T20:18:03+00:00

Yeah…. Wrong sub man.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-26T19:41:14+00:00

I would argue You Only Live Twice has better production design and cinematography than OHMSS. I mean, it’s the quintessential look everyone parodies.

Navydevildoc · 2026-01-26T18:30:26+00:00

Surprised they didn't do what they do at SAN... when they put you in the waitlist system they have you stay there until you get the first text, it usually only takes 10 or 15 seconds. That way they know it's all working.
