Interesting analysis of the US-Russia-India arms triangle. This also occurs against the backdrop of F-35s, F-16s, and Su-57s sitting side-by-side on the ramp at AeroIndia 2025.
The US has sold a substantial amount of arms to India in recent years. But the F-35 has always been a another level of trust. Obviously the US wants India…

For India, it’s ‘Pick your fighter,’ as Delhi weighs US, Russian bids
India wants to catch up quickly to China in fighter jets. But buying on the global market could torpedo the country's homegrown program.

Hoping they pick the F-35 for sure

Great video all about current U-2 operations. As a reconnaissance platform, the U-2 is still quietly doing a good amount of the US operational and strategic intel collection. But it also has game in the tactical world as well. In Korea, we would pretty routinely work with the U-2 folks in tactical scenarios and kill chain processing.

Thanks Smack! Super helpful.

Rowan,
Actually a super relevant question. Especially for UPT/non-mil applicants. The data I have is from the CO ANG, so could be different elsewhere, but probably a good start. For rush events and zoom meetings (pre-interview events), business casual seems to be the standard. At the very least a collared shirt. For interviews, a suit… -
Howdy,
Boring etiquette question. When reaching out to units, is it best to do a standard quick intro email with cover letter and resume? And in general for any type of interfacing with units (zoom, rush events, interview, etc…) are suits the expected attire?
Thank you,
Rowan

A Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies report released last month examined pilot shortages in 2024. The report found that the Air Force is approximately 1,850 pilots short of their overall goal and of those, 1,142 were fighter pilots.
We, as a community of warriors need to identify and address the root cause of fighter pilot shortages…

Air Force needs more fighter pilots for more airpower, report says
The number of fighter pilots is decreasing. But a Washington think tank has an idea for how to stem the tide and bring seasoned airmen back into the fold.

I’m ready to make that 1,141 pilots short, put me in coach!

I think it always goes back to, everyone wants to become a fighter pilot, and not enough want to stay. I wonder though if there were more fighter slots in the guard and reserve. If pilots would be willing to stay instead of jump to the airlines.

Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) | Veterans Affairs
The Post-9/11 GI Bill (PGIB), or Chapter 33, helps you pay for school or cover expenses while you’re training for a job. If you’ve served on active duty after September 10, 2001, you may qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. … Continue reading

I have doing some research on the GI Bill the last few months as my children are now going to college. This is a great benefit that you or your dependents can use if you qualify for it. Another potential perk for joining the Guard, Reserve or Active Duty.
