  1. So, I don't have a passport (gov or civilian).  Yes, save me the lecture.  My commander is open to releasing me a bit early because my replacement is getting out here early.  I can hop on a Mil Air and get to Italy or Germany pretty easily.  How difficult would it be to get home commercial from there?  All I have are NATO Orders and military ID.  If not commercial, Space-A?

  2. More $hit for pilots to avoid?

     

    It should be easy enough for Amazon to keep it 400'A or lower and void known hazard areas.  This doesn't scare me as much as Joe Schmoe playing with his new Christmas toy.

  3. My theory about when something is considered a sport, vice a game, is you have to be an athlete, ie. athletic to play a sport.  You don't have to be athletic to play a game, like checkers or golf.  Old ladies play golf, fat bastards can  play checkers golf,etc. I won't even broach the subject of video games.

    What is curling?

  4. Wait...are you suggesting that the information/examples provided are legit? 

    No, I'm saying the example you gave isn't as simple as "I drive a truck so I'm a rapist".  The example given from the slides leans more to, "My family requires a vehicle suitably large enough to carry us all and I decided to buy a truck for my desires, not the needs of my family".  It really has nothing to do with SAPR at all.

  5. For all you guys who own trucks, according to the U.S. military, you are using your male privelege to promote violence in your family and have an abusive relationship.

    There's a lot of SAPR bullshit out there, but I think you missed the point of that comment.  Don't muddy the waters.  It maks the argument more difficult.

  6. The other phenomena regarding "privilege" is commercials on television.  Usually, there is a person needing or creating a need for a product, this is the person without knowledge of the right thing to do or product to buy.  Then, there is the person with the answer, or the right thing to do, that solves the problem.  Watch and use your magic gender/race decoder ring to separate the smart or knowing from the ignorant or unknowing.  It's not universal but amazingly consistent.

    Usually I see the wife being brilliant and the husband being a bumbling idiot.  Misandry at its best.

  7. Charge the kid for assault and ban him from high school football for the rest of his career.  Investigate the coach to see if he directed it and charge him with the same (if necessary).  If the coaching staff is responsible, ban the team from competition for the remainder of the season.

  8. Not true. There must be a provider that takes tricare close enough to being in the vicinity of the assignment that they won't need to send you TDY to get care. That provider must also have openings. The find a provider page on the triwest website is your best friend. Get with your gaining EFMP office and provide them a list of providers at that location that suit your needs. When they coord it with the gaining base med grp, it'll give them ammo to say yes. CAUTION: Many of these offices are overworked and may just say no if there isn't the required specialist at the MTF.

    Not totally true. Laughlin will have you drive 3 hours away to get care in San Antonio and not blink an eye. If your appointment is 1100 or earlier, you get to stay the night.

    edit: for improper usage of "you're"
