There are always USAFE AND PACAF jobs popping up that don’t require SDE or IDE in res. If you’re after multiple years of adventure OCONUS (and adding to your TAFMS), no need to do school to make that happen. Also, only have had one guard wg/cc who did in res school, the rest did SDE in correspondence.

I'm glad they didn't have a radar gun on the Destin bridge 40ish years ago.

Your use of indiscriminate here is at best willful ignorance, and at worst a self-serving lie. I suspect the latter. Again, I'm shocked that you're aghast the Commander in Chief would direct the objectives of the armed forces, and then voice those out loud to his constituents. There's no we there in relation to Trump. Although, I see we've finally admitted there's an argument going on. There's no circularity, other than the mental circle jerk one must go through to paint both Iran and US/Israel as immoral actors. You seem to think Israel's official or unofficial policy is to conduct terrorism, specifically target civilians, and wipe out a race of ppl. I know they both start with the letter "I" but I think you have Israel and Iran confused. The path to preventing Iran from getting a nuke is direct intervention, which is what is occurring. You're reading things I didn't type. I made specific references not to the Iranian people but to the leadership. I have a friend from Iran who still has family there, I'm well versed in the differences between the ppl and the immoral/evil cult in power. Check the name of the poster. I didn't say you were antisemitic. Although, white ppl that used HOAs to gentrify neighborhoods also claimed they weren't racist either so.. You're missing the point intentionally or otherwise. Maybe Google who Isaac and Ishmael were and why the Jewish ppl have been under threat from Islamists since that time. Speak for yourself.

I’ve returned a car OCONUS missing a door. Said “have a nice day” and left. Never heard about it ever again. Seen many GTC rentals returned all kinds of screwed up over my career, never seen or heard of anyone getting screwed (questioned by the CC is a different story).

Very true. The substance of your argument is purely theoretical and virtually useless in a real world sense. Sounds like you were a C-17 dude who touched down a couple times in Bagram. Or maybe an AWACS back seater. In any case, the substance of your argument reaches its useful limit at the door of the classroom where you heard it. Speaking of classroom, sounds like you didn't study that war or it's implementation very well. Sober up, go read "Dereliction of Duty" by H.R. McMaster, then reassess. Not even close to absolute or total war. While you're on that war, go read Flying Through Midnight...because every airman of our generation should read that.

best officer i ever served with

A little local police blotter activity to show how some of our young Airmen continue to impress. This after an incident several years ago that saw a group of USAF motorcycle riders doing 100+ over the Pensacola Bay Bridge. ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY CLOCKED AT 130 MPH IN 35-MPH ZONE ON U.S. 98: A Gulf Breeze Police Department officer was on patrol around 11:45 p.m. on May 14 in Gulf Islands National Seashore on U.S. 98 when he observed a speeding vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. The officer did a U-turn and clocked the vehicle at 118 mph in a 45 mph zone then 130 mph in a 35 mph zone. The suspect, who was successfully stopped in Publix parking lot, was driving a Toyota Camry and identified as 22-year-old Cori Thomas. Per the arrest report. Thomas stated he didn’t have a reason for driving so fast other than wanting to “open it up.” Hurlburt Field was notified of the arrest.
