So, he gets fired? Where are the criminal charges?

I'd like to fuck that dude up. I can't wait for him to shed tears when he loses his freedom for jerking off to his step daughter taking a shit. Take him to altitude and kick him out without a parachute. Edit: Or drop him off at UTTR and have the boys let loose on him in the range.

OSI searched his house, so the accusation definitely rose above the level of the standard things guys get removed from positions for i.e. ARI, money, or putting one’s genitals where they don’t belong.

This guy has obviously never been around gunners, booms or loads.

The money that flows through that line of business is disgusting. Why do the sales people need to visit doctors and drop off all sorts of swag to incentivize them to prescribe said drugs. How about doctors honor the Hippocratic oath and simply do what is best for their patients.

I will be forever baffled by dudes who get off on secret footage of women doing routine non-sexual activity in various stages of undress, and forever grateful that I don't have whatever brain defect creates that kink.

The story is leaking out...all RUMINT of course but the story is he was removed for putting a camera in his Step-Daugher's bathroom. If true, enjoy your prison shank. The damage done to that girl, she will never trust anyone again. Sick F@ck.

I remember partying with Tripp when he was the CO out in Osan and we did a 3 or 4 week det from Iwakuni. He was up playing some of their songs on stage and one of our guys went to the bathroom, wrapped himself in toilet paper, then lit himself on fire. He ran out, slid across the bar and we all threw pitchers of beer on him to put it out. We called it a "flaming carrier qual." Tripp stopped playing, said "Never has another squadron come into our O'Club and taken it over. This is your place tonight guys!" Hell of a night.

Another Biden Decline book coming out. Apparently, the staff was gonna wheelchair the old feller. https://www.axios.com/2025/05/13/biden-book-wheelchair-2024-campaign-original-sin

Uh oh, the Qatari Air Farce One is gonna get Loomered. And cost us $B or so. Wouldn't it be awesome if Qatar flew it to DC, and then Trump sets it on fire?

I remember reading Bob Gates “Duty” and him commenting how he had to cut his own grass and do his own errands as SECDEF while his CJCS, Admiral McMullen, had enlisted aides that did all that.

Truth

I currently have a letter of recommendation from an O-6 flyer at my base but I'll need to draft my personaly letter. My leadership is aware of my interest in applying but I havnt told them about the board date yet.

Well, it should be about getting more focused on fighting and winning wars. If your position is ONLY stateside, it’s worth considering that you shouldn’t wear a uniform. It’s not about saving money, it’s about focus. Our culture has been diluted by trying to accommodate 50+ sub-cultures. Leaders that never left the wire (or never deployed) are now making decisions for those who will. We need to make it so that when you look at a uniform-wearer you know you’re looking at someone whose purpose is to put their pink body on the line. That might also mean that not everyone gets their own squadrons anymore. Embed uniformed support personnel in the warfighting squadrons under the warfighting commanders (…what’s old is new). Yeah, the culture will change, but if it is not illegal, immoral, or unethical, and doesn’t degrade readiness, then get out of the way. Put it to the warfighters to hash out and decide final solutions. Then execute. Maybe? If the capacity is focused on warfighting, then don’t do that. It’s most important that we think about what a truly optimal force looks like - either gutting or adding. Maybe not. But let’s not think about staffing pork barrel garden spots. Then, for the jobs we do need let’s assume we pay them dollars on the dollar. Let’s start with what we need to win wars. I get that what we will have to go head to head with entrenched bureaucracy and jobs programs… but that’s step two. Then don’t. We need to stop playing to lose and restructure around what we have to win. Then don’t. Pay them O-4/O-5 pay. Pay organizational leaders bonuses proportional to the size of the organizations they lead. I understand the chip and anger at what the DOD has failed to do in the past, or whatever hidden agendas there might have been previously, but we have to get past that, because we’ve got some serious shit to focus on. Back to fighting wars and staffing warfighting organizations with warfighters. Focus. Shut it down. Move the Aircrew Task Force out from the DAF and make it a direct report to Congress. Staff it with Iron Majors if need-be. If they can’t perform, let them fail. Change management. We’re here to win. I think that was the original point.

Sometimes a Gen tries to stay lean and within the lines, and sometimes their staffs try to keep it the way it's always been and wastes time/money/people. Sir, you must live in this McMansion, its historical, and here's Sgt Housekeeper, Sgt Cook, and Sgt Errand Boy. And then you got assholes that take the flag role and run wild with it. Imagine hiring the Efficiency Expert Bobs to justify each flag's staff, house, personnel, etc. Most would end up back in FGO/Col housing, told to drive their own car and mow their own lawn. DOGE'd.

Why would Israel do that? When you have terrorist living football fields away from your citizens you don’t just tuck tail.

Yeah, we took our First Sergeant (medical I believe) to an Ex with a stop in Pattaya. Dinner on the outskirts of walking street - she about had a heart attack. This was after her perplexity that we didn’t use rank on the airplane. Truly different worlds we live in. Flight doc though? Took a shower in the airline club.

Changing Big Pharma is like moving the moon. From firsthand experience, the money and lobby influence pharma has, it gets the job done, and it ain't changing anytime soon. Trump can try all he wants, they'll maneuver and still come out on top. Me, I'd start with banning all drug commercials. And then fuck with their execs, taxes, etc.

This reminds me of a few experiences (absolute fucking retards) in my AF career

I sense an important point here. What is it?
