I’m gonna warn you, due to its relative size the tech warrant community can be extremely clique’ish on gatekeeping upward mobility. The other bad trend we seem to have is a lot of WO positions in the MTOE exist at such a level you get bosses with rank that discount your expertise because you’re just a W2, or warrants that try to wear daddy’s rank which is no better than the out of control E8/9. I’m am glad to see the Air Force embrace the concept of specialization over ladder climbing and I do think it’s something we should get behind DOD wide. I just hope in growing this new community they can avoid the pitfalls and negative habits we created in the Army. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

First hand knowledge from a guy that was disbarred for fabricating false testimony and evidence. Here since google is a foreign concept to you, just another easy example of them out championing a Russian narrative that the west is false flagging chemical weapons attacks in Syria. Up next your defense of Andrey Stepanenko or Tucker Carlson. They simply must be given the benefit of the doubt for every broadcast. Again, nobody is telling you to get all your information from some Ukrainian blogger, but what are telling you it’s it’s absolutely ludicrous that we need to ignore the obvious connections to what we know is an active IA campaign from a demonstrated group of face men in that campaign.

We here in the US just spent $60 Billion to counter Russia, and $8 Billion for Taiwan to counter China. Today, the US is drafting sanctions against China for helping Russia. Our leadership, in their divine wisdom, is effectively forcing two world superpowers into deeper levels of cooperation. If China is going to be sanctioned for providing military assistance to Russia anyway, why would they not go ahead and open up full bore production if the US is already threatening them over the Taiwan issue? I honestly wonder who has the larger industrial production capacity, US and allies, or the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.  

Intelligence source confidence is rated by assessing the accuracy and reliability information itself. How would you know what the information is if you refuse to look at it and discourage others from doing the same? For the third time, the only example you've given of anything that has a very high probability of being inaccurate is a random irrelevant event from 10 years ago. There's likely a vast amount of information out there from the Duran that has an even greater chance of being inaccurate, is more recent, and actually pertains to recent history. Do I have to go find it for you just to prove that you're lazy? You've spent more time googling dirt on the show hosts than listening to the Podcast. You could have just listened, shot down all their arguments, proved that it's all false Russian disinfo, and saved yourself an enormous amount of time, and we likely wouldn't be having this exchange. I actually listened to it, wrote it all down for you, and put it 6 inches in front of your face. Like a toddler, you scrunched up your face, shook your head, and still... still... elected not to confront the issues. If you believe someone should be forever discounted because you heard them say something idiotic once, you'd have been abandoned as a child. Perhaps you were. You most definitely would have been abandoned here on the forums multiple times over.  But I and others are living proof that my approach works better. For pages now, I've been sifting through massive amount  of your flawed logic and unsubstantiated assumptions. I can't remember where it is,  but you did have a perspective I thought was useful on green energy or something recently. Even a broken clock is right twice per day. The rest of the information you present is mostly garbage, but I can still learn something about the methods and manner in which you deliver it. You operate on assumptions, I operate on first-hand knowledge. It's that simple. That's why you're stuck where you are in this debate and you keep talking in circles. If there is a debate about how to best find out the truth, a position that advocates for evaluating all information based on examining it's content is always, always, going to defeat an argument for dismissing information before it is heard because you don't like who delivered it. "There's not enough time to process all the bad information out there". That's a problem with you, not the method. Disinformation campaigns from Sweden and Finland? Uh, ok... Not sure how that's relevant to my aforementioned concerns about the USA, but I'd be happy to.  I'm a voracious reader.  Give me a link and I will thoroughly enjoy working through the details with you.  That is, unless discussing details instead of broad generalizations and assumptions frightens you.

Wish I had the opportunity to do this when I was on AD instead of being told by an E-8 all you do is deploy and do your job. Surprised not to see degree requirements in this. Has big blue finally seen the light, that Senior NCO's have become mostly a class of perfumed princes. It will be a great opportunity for SSgts and TSgts who will never make MSgt due to circumstances that they will never have a good enough board score.
