ClearedHot Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 So the memo is out, 40,000 Airmen assigned to and under OPCON of the AFDW are banned from consuming alcohol for 48 hours surrounding the inauguration. Air Force civilians are strongly encouraged to adopt the policy as well. All of the promises from Fingers made to look like a steaming pile of poo in one moronic action. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhistory Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Anonymous calls to various left- and right-wing news outlets seems to be in order. Each would love to go to town on the implications for such an order for an inauguration. I'd also be calling my Congress critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership vs. Management on display here. In Iraq the biggest violators of GO1 were the GOs....usually during Thursday poker night.

congressman Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Ive asked questions and this seems to have been clarified to only pertain to those doing official duties with the inauguration and not all Air Force folks in the NCR.

08Dawg Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Probably because they're all going to be needed for riot control when Trump is actually sworn in and half the libtards in the city lose their damn minds and start burning buildings and throwing bricks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I can't link on my phone but Maj Gen Schwartz is getting fired on Jan 20. Story is on Drudge. It doesn't mention GO-1, but I wonder if this story has anything to do with it. Edit: Samsonite! I was way off. The guy getting fired is Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz. Went back to the top of this thread-that guy is Maj Gen Burke. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's make something out of nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk According to his Nat'l Guard GO bio: He entered service in 1979, so he is waaaay beyond the 35 year total military service law (unless waived by Congress as in Rickover); probably his Guard time played with that calculation. The TAG of the DC Guard, unlike states' Guard which are appointed by the respective governor, is appointed by the President of the United States who is currently, and was when this order was given, Barack H. Obama. The MG is also 65, again a mandatory military retirement age unless waived by Congressional action. Nope, it's Trump's fault. We're gonna see a lot of that, I reckon. There was a good column (forget the venue and writer) on how everything for the past eight years was Bush's fault, and from here on out everything is Trump's fault. It's as though the last Administration didn't exist. Sure must be nice... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Two military officials with knowledge of the situation said the Trump team decided to accept the resignation.

I think we are agreed that reading is fundamental and implying that I hadn't read the article isn't. If the transition team wanted to keep him on, but Big Green was pushing him out the door, who exactly is the action figure in this scenario? And if we get "it's all Trump's fault" on these forums (liberal or not, I don't know), just imagine what the wider world is going to say - at least 1/2 anyway and that percentage of unhappy campers contains most of the media so the effect will only be magnified. - to BFM - Yep, that's the one, thanks. edited to add: The Commander of the DC Guard, appointed by the President, traditionally offers his resignation to each new Commander in Chief who decides to decline or accept the resignation. This particular commander was appointed by George W. Bush in 2008. Thus he has been in the same position for eight years. The Trump team offered to keep the MG through January 20 with his retirement effective 21 January. The MG refused and decided to voluntarily leave effective 1201 EST, 20 Jan 17. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/01/fake-news-wapo-not-tell-whole-story-dc-national-guard-chiefs-resignation-video/ Nope, it's gotta be Trump's fault...
