I think they just look for reaction time now. Quick assessment skills. They might do well to just draft QBs.

Friend of mine, very quiet, pretty smart, but with no discernible eye-hand coordination or athletic ability (could not throw a ball, or shoot a basket, etc. to save his life and had two or more left feet. Although he could play the hell out of a trumpet.) joined the Navy in college and became a real life Pete Mitchell.* Flew Tomcats on night missions off carriers in the Gulf and eventually became a Top Gun instructor for several years. I have no idea how he managed it. He's been out quite awhile now and just pilots Jumbos across the water from Chicago once a week. Which is a pretty good gig.


*except I don't believe he ever lost his navigator.

Like Billy Pilgrim. You never know who'll get one.
 
Re: US Foreign Policy: The Wogs Begin at Calais

One sentence in the midst of this article sums it all up.

It’s reminiscent of the developing countries where I’ve served. The family rules everything, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows nothing.

That's it, exactly. We've become an African dictatorial state, and the right likes it this way.

I'm actually kind of stunned that Huntsman was offered ambassador to Russia.

Your tax dollars at work: an 8.9 award fee.

Best part of this: AREVA, one of the two prime contractors, is French. :p

Being a good fighter pilot is not really about hand eye coordination. it's about being able to think on your feet, well ahead of time, anticipating what is about to happen and then reacting to changes quickly.There is no BS what so ever because the facts have a way of coming home to roost very, very quickly.Oh and night missions off carriers, BFD.
 
Re: US Foreign Policy: The Wogs Begin at Calais

LOL.

Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray met senior White House aides without the State Department's knowledge, according to an official.
State Department acting spokesman Mark Toner said he was "unaware" the foreign minister was in Washington.

The secretary of state typically receives foreign diplomats during visits to the nation's capital.

The disconnect comes amid reports that the State Department has been sidelined in matters of foreign policy.
