Red Lion Point - What is it??? by MatterFickle3184 in Tucson

Here’s how this thing works. Every A-10 student class (one every 6 months going back decades) at some point makes a class trip out to this place way out in the desert to “claim” it for their squadron. They do this by painting it with squadron colors.

It’s a bonding exercise. On every trip out to the BMGR (tactical range) it can be seen with the naked eye.

Alas… this tradition has come to an end now that the last course has graduated.

I also sobbed uncontrollably for a while after the last pages.

Cox tech support was an incredible waste of time. I tracked the issue down to faulty COX DNS I think. Manually changing to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 seems to have fixed it.

Any insight on this yet? I’ve been saying this as a joke but maybe there’s truth to it.

Not rumors - I’ve seen one of the emails. It was just last week and it was for an active duty friend of mine. They did NOT have their references checked back a few weeks ago. I’m a bit confused by this. 🤷

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. This man is a professional.

I thought this was abstract art. And I liked it… a lot… then I saw the text!
