BigDave: Jul 14, 2009; Taste the High Country

Civvie crew checking in, I think it was either the idiot thread or one of the cop threads that drew me to you guys. I appreciate the on the ground perspective vets have on world events, and the CE thread tends to have excellent news sources.

Oh I absolutely think the damage is done at this point. Even a major change of regime (and I mean cloned bernies in 75+% of elected and appointed positions) won't be enough to make us trustworthy

Weird, our first civil war set the stage for us to become a world power, and now we�re rapidly losing that power and careening towards another one.

How many are in service in total? Wondering what proportion of the fleet this was. Sorry for crappy photo I�m supposed to be concentrating in a meeting.

I'd be willing to bet that the overall ready rate is a lot lower, I'd be surprised if they are achieving a 70% mission ready status.

Somewhere, a MX officer shuddered and he doesn't know why.

That article about the Marine F-18 crash? The unit only had about a third of it's F-18s ready to fly. I think 70% for the F-35 might actually be a little high.

Yeah, like I said, a 70% mission ready would be impressive. Assume maybe half that.

Again, a MX officer shudders, a cold chill down his spine as he preps the morning MX status slides...
