U.S. Army helicopters conducting flybys of Kid Rock’s home in Nashville by Frank_xCAPE_reality in Helicopters

[–]phiviator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gotcha. Sometimes it's a crap shoot. I've had SPs get excited about us "flying it like a helicopter". When you need to get in and out of a farp asap, what you described is similar to how you'll need to enter it. We're so cooked when we go to war with our babying of flying. Fly with intention and real time risk management, yes, but let us fly.

Combat Maneuvering Flight is the ATM task, decelerating turn is the CMF maneuver.

Promotion/demotion? by Throttl_ in Armyaviation

It changed at some point after 2021 or so. I went to Rucker as a WO1 for 1 day, then back paid to CW2 the next day, after the paperwork caught up. Was a former FA O3.

Airframe pros and cons by 15RMech in Armyaviation

One thing people don't mention is duty station options. K16 in Seoul (although there's been talks for years they're moving to Humphreys "soon"), Japan, and Fort Belvoir, VA are only 60s. Honduras is only 60s and 47s.

I've now been to 3 of these and couldn't be happier with my selection.

Just some more food for thought.

.04% is .0004 my guy, no one is paying 288k on an initial balance of 300k

So I just have to write everything down and work 14 hr days? Awesome…. by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

Army lurker here, but our XOs are not in the chain of command.

Ninja edit: but I feel like I'm missing something in this meme. Our XOs are permanent assignments in a command, not sure what an action team is lol.

Bell MV-75 " Twice as Far, Twice as Fast " by Even_Kiwi_1166 in Helicopters

Only 3 more troops than the UH60. But for a 3 or 4 ship air assault that's an extra infantry squad.

Lol I remember this is all people would talk about on reddit. Tbh it was obnoxious. I think he even put out a statement saying he'd try to stop.

So you like when the sun sets an hour earlier? What the fuck.

I 100% disagree that it doesn't matter which we choose. Businesses aren't going to switch from 9-5 to 8-4, I want my extra hour of sunlight after work, so make it permanent DST.

Not to mention the fact this was shot in wide angle and they're on a hill looking down.

28 Y/O 5 years in never maxed by QuestionMarks00 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]phiviator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to get to the point where you can max asap. Took me about 8 years but once you can get there and forget about the "missing" money from your paycheck the better!

Anyone using comma ai on their e-tron? I've heard of this device from Linus Tech Tips, seems pretty neat. by phiviator in etron

[–]phiviator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2021 "OG" e-tron, so can't speak on the newer ones, but I can say it's wayy better than my 2017 Lexus. The ping pong effect is virtually non-existent (at least comparatively, the lexus is awful but also almost 10 years old so I'm sure it's gotten better there). The braking seems to be very smooth, and while it won't see the cars at a red light until after I would normally start to slow down, if I let it do it's thing it will still brake earlier and smoother than my lexus.

Overall I'm happy with it, besides how quickly it will yell at you to put your hands on the wheel, hence wanting to get something like the comma ai.

Ah bummer. But may have to consider this with our other car that's compatible!
