You did not need to attach a Form 8 unless you had a Q3 on your FEF. That’s why you just attach a 942. I think the application is small but this is coming from a guy who was Prior E and applied to OTS where it was a ton of paperwork.

Maybe I’m alone in this but I thought the application itself was rather large (so to speak), and was scrambling to make sure everything was there. Maybe this a rated to rated thing but I ended up attaching all my Form-8s and the eval form (whatever it’s called AF-9something). I didn’t send them my OPBs or 475s tho?

O-4

How unfortunate that starting with Kennedy and ending with Reagan, the United States basically closed down all the insane asylums. It would be a pretty handy place for all of the drug-ruined homeless, in addition to women who lose their mind and kill their children.

Based on his opinions, I wonder if this O-3 is a member of B.O.?

Maybe not jail, but she should never be free again. Strangled her 3 kids one at a time. Insanity is never an excuse for murder. Tragic and absolutely abhorrent situation.

A US airman who was arrested twice, once on the steps of the US Capitol while calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, was officially criminally charged Monday for his comments, according to a charging document his attorney shared with CNN. Maj. Jason Watson faces the following charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, according to the document: three violations of Article 88 for alleged "contemptuous" remarks about Trump, five violations of Article 92 for allegedly disobeying orders and two violations of Article 133 for alleged conduct unbecoming an officer. An Air Force spokesperson confirmed the charges on Tuesday... https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-criticism-leads-rare-criminal-001719021.html

It’s normal, if you don’t have any waivers or other things like ETP. They pull your records from PRDA. Make sure all your records are input. My buddy who got selected for ENJJPT was missing his URT 475 and they called to tell him while the board was ONGOING! Luckily they let him track it down and he got selected for ENJJPT still. Make sure anything that says DG too is in record.

Finally got a deadline from my group! 7 Sept. Seemed like they were caught off guard when my commander asked them for deadline guidance On a separate note, does anyone else have a feeling that the application is relatively small? DAF215, Attachment 1, ADSC statement, Physical, and maybe PPL (if you've got it). I'm rereading the PSDM several times over my understanding is it doesn't require OPBs or DAF475s. Anyone else concur?

New boarding announcement

It wasn't postpartum depression, it was postpartum psychosis. And there is a well-documented history for this woman of battling it. Obviously everything about it is a tragedy, but this is a textbook insanity defense. That doesn't mean she should walk free, but she should not be put into a prison with rational actors that made criminal choices.

In our hyper-individualist society where it’s all about “me”… We need to have more common values. I concur on personal responsibility. Lots of people want to pass the buck and won’t take ownership. Not cool. Realizing you need help and getting help is cool.

Hopefully this tamps down the social contagion that "feelings" trump basic responsibilities and consequences for poor choices. (sigh)...hope in one hand,

Glass half full—hopefully this builds SA so sick mothers get the help they need before they do something irreversible.

Sadly the best thing coming out of this situation is further exposing progressives for being ok with murdering children, whether in or out of the womb.

Agreed, 100%. Just like BFM said, two things are true. It’s tragic what happened to those kids. Hopefully something good comes out of the situation.

Two things can be true at once: Postpartum mental health is real, and deserves familial and societal support toward healthy outcomes. That woman betrayed the most fundamental contract of the species, and placed her ills ahead of her vulnerable children; she is herself not deserving of sympathy, instead of the full weight of punishment.

She is not a victim in the slightest. Plenty of people have severe mental health issues and the vast majority never harm a soul. As for progressive women supporting her, shocker (but not really)…

Postpartum depression is real. Childbirth wrecks mothers’ bodies and then there’s a whole new cocktail of hormones. Makes sense these other women would sympathize. She’s guilty; maybe the extreme situation sheds light on a problem and the silver lining is more parents get better help.

Yeah, I think they all do some variation of that about basically everything as our society has regressed; intellectually, culturally and politically. Getting a good majority 330+ million people to support policies that require personal sacrifice, delayed gratification and none to tangential material benefits to them is apparently too much for our politicians to attempt hence the lying, obfuscation, gas lighting, denial and wild overselling of all manner of policies. As to Iran though, if it were President Clark Griswold (God help us) I would explain in an Oval Office address: The history of aggression, terrorism and disruptive activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the United States and broader civilized world; probably releasing declassified information in that address to explain why we should fight them. What will be required of America, why this will succeed, how we will win, what victory means for the US and how the people of Iran can be helped. Why this is not imperialism, why it is right and why America half way around the world is responsible for this fight. Break Break As to strategy with Iran, had a stray thought on it… mentioned before in this thread I think but why not offer their provinces / non Persian areas that openly resist the IGRC weapons, support, reprieve from air strikes, etc… it would not be the only strategic LOE but one of them… Disrupt areas of the country not fully loyal to the revolutionary regime, deny oil export income, maximum economic sanctions but continuous delivery of humanitarian aid, block / control most air and maritime traffic, aggressively attack proxies abroad, lean on allies very hard to renounce diplomatic ties, continually execute long range strikes, split internal factions (Army vs IGRC) to offer leadership support and recognition in a post bellum Iran… basically everything short of a ground invasion while you prepare for a ground invasion…

Well in this case I think it goes a bit further than just a miscalculated gamble on the timeline/public support. The admin literally ran on not doing any more of these things because they knew exactly where public sentiment was for more middle eastern interventions. And then after winning they bait&switched the whole country. Only once it turned into an unpopular shitshow did we start hearing the line: “aCtUaLLy, we’ve been at war with Iran for 47 years.” Oh really? Sweet thanks, then why the fuck weren’t you saying that on the campaign trail?

Yup, that’s the problem / fact of life with American foreign policy problems. They are longer lasting than our election cycles, this causes politicians to gamble and occasionally get us knee deep without gathering the necessary public, political and institutional support to sustain and prosecute successfully said foreign policy challenge.
