What?! Someone other than the individual decides how resources are to be used/allocated? And if you disagree with that state decision, you are SOL unless you up stakes and move to, say, the US where you can decide for yourself? Shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Hopefully you won't find that the seat doesn't fire when you pull the handles...metaphorically speaking, of course.

From back in the day... CF-5 rage over Canada.

This is a storyline that I didn’t like. Greer was a great character in the books and didn’t need to be changed. Every time I read the books, I always heard James Earl Jones in my head.

It’s also not for everybody like it’s being sold over here. By 13 you know if you’re going to college or trade school in places like Germany. If you’re family has the money you can opt out and buy an education but the vast majority are told where and what they will be doing. This “you can go to college and the government will pay for it just like in Europe” is nothing more than fancy dressing for an impossibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just saw the advisory from higher: 0518 board results delayed "30 days" due to hang-ups at the "national level". Duck, somehow this is your fault.

Yeah, complete head scratcher. The weekend trip to Syria with a bag of cash was icing on the cake.

Another semantics point: there is nothing liberal about today's Democrat party. Liberalism is exactly the concepts today more associated with the right of American politics, like freedom of expression and the sovereignty of the individual. If anything, libertarians are the closest thing we have to liberals in modern America.

This is the logical conclusion of this change in policy coupled with the BRS and the fact that they don't select majors for school at the board anymore (i.e. you don't know exactly where you stand at decision time). The #1 problem with the new ADCS policy is that guys hot for non-flying 365s will have to go on said 365, then they incur a 3 year adsc when they get requal'd to fly the plane they already knew how to fly. It's like getting caught in a hydraulic in the rapids. Beatings will continue whether morale improves or not.

As has been pointed out, it is not 'socialism' but it is a significant step towards socialism. And yes, free universal education K-12 is also a significant step towards socialism and is a good indicator as to how 'free' college would change our graduate education system in America. I have only a couple friends who went to private school as a kid, but I know lots of people who went to a private college. Many of the private colleges will close when people have the option of going to school for free vs paying everything themselves. Rather than looking to take what has worked really well in America (capitalism) and applying it towards parts of our country that need significant improvement (health care, education, etc), a large group of people seem to want to take the worst parts of our country (a grossly oversized government at most levels) and apply that to what needs fixing. The inevitable result will be a complete shit show that will spiral to the parts of our country that work well like the relatively free market economy. It is easy to see how people label things as 'socialist' that are not actually socialist in and of itself, but will take a significant step towards socialism when taken to their logical conclusion. You are correct that the ACA is not completely socialist, but it is trending our health care system away from free market economics towards the socialism end that many seem to desire. The ironic part of military members speaking in support of things that point towards socialism is that the military is about as socialist as you can get in America. How many times do you speak well of the MPF, finance, or similar things in the military? Virtually everything that is broken in the military is a great example of what our country as a whole would look like under people like that lady. Having lived in countries with socialized medicine and governments that lean far further socialist than ours, I can tell you that absolutely nothing of that style of government will help us. Government and bureaucracy is both naturally inefficient and naturally self interested in getting bigger and more control. The bigger and more control it gets, the more time, energy, and wealth is wasted simply maintaining it.

I like excel. Customizable, stored on the cloud, and I’m not beholden to any apps or formats or subscriptions. Mine has been tweaked for years to accommodate my army flying, GA flying, airline flying, and now AF flying. Took some nerding out, but it’s worked for me since.

Have you heard of the 18X MOS?

Yeah, like saying “rifle, time of flight 20 seconds” post splash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i dont know why anyone would aspire to be a commander in today's military

Well, that's gay.

It depends.

Did his sword get a DFC too?

Eat a dick. Did I say he should be fired? Nope. I said I didn’t know why anyone would use that term today. I’m guessing you still use things like wetback and whatnot too?

Eat a dick is equal opportunity. Especially since I didn’t assume Bashi’s gender or sex.
