But the Navy does it longer.

What a waste of money.

Morale is important.

A draft would be cheaper than recruitment.

I agree, especially given the politics involved - but I still love it... guilty pleasure...

Pilots need to get flight hours to stay current, morale boosts aren’t a bad idea... why not both?

we give the .mil that kind of money to burn without a second thought, but health care is just too big a problem to deal with?

Are you being sarcastic? They have to log flying hours to keep certified and all of their air shows are cancelled. It’s not costing any extra than has already been allocated, and moving those kinds of funds around the DoD is a completely PITA ...

The American feds spend more on healthcare than the military.

It’ll be a great day when schools get all the money they need and the military has to hold a bake sale to HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME WHAT WERE WE JUST TALKING ABOUT?!

I’ve seen both at several air shows, but nothing beats sitting on the tarmac at NAS Pensacola (or on the beach a few miles away) during a Blue Angels practice.

I’m definitely a bigger fan of the Blues. I think they fly a tighter, more dynamic show. And, they don’t wear G suits. Fly Navy!

Tighter, yes, but I thought the Thunderbirds were more exciting. But I saw them first, so there's that
