Nope, CannonCrashPad is done not only here; but on BaseOps completely. He's a troll, and honestly may have been PYB reincarnated... He is gone. Good riddance.

The NSA and IRS have both added it to their case files.

Ok, I'll take my own advice after writing this. Recommend deleting all posts made by this guy, referencing this guy (to include this one), etc. -- much like last time he was banned. We should all stop feeding his ego by not discussing him, his blog, and his childlike antics. Every time he is mentioned and people click on his blog or discuss him here we are doing exactly what he gets off on. Deleting his posts and references to same will: 1. Piss him off (which makes me chuckle), and B. More importantly, keep his antics from living on via our forum I have my own theory on the timing of his return to BON and his recent over the top replies as to probably what is going on in his professional life at CVS. Something tells me recent 'triumphs' led to empowerment that furthered actions that have now gone too far and recent life is not looking so good for him. Online behavior is a reflection of who one is in 'real life' and this guy has an online persona that is way unstable, floating at extremes of someone who can't stand not being the center of attention -- despite self proclaimed calls of his actions only defending the constitution and upholding his oath. I'm alarmed to think he has been able to maintain a security clearance and (if still flying MQ-9s) is a part of the kill chain. E

Especially to all dads not with their kids today -- dudes have pretty high moral character if you ask me.... Cheers, dads. Ain't easy. PS: congrats to all of you who sweated out another year and didn't have a card show up from PI/Thailand/Korea!

Haven't seen it, but let me venture a guess: Col X refuses to strat Supes because he's only 1 of 2 in his peer group & the other is a flag officer. Cant strat him or give him the quarterly award because it would hurt Zod's career. Also, he didn't do his PME & wears an unauthorized uniform combo?

Since you'll inevitably read this (and possibly reply with your NEXT alias here), let me respond: Telling a guy you "might have to skullf*ck [him] to death," and that he should "go f*cking play in traffic," really highlights your maturity level. Maybe, since you're no different deep-down than the very people you criticize, it's easy for us all to see right through your sanctimonious drivel. One wonders if you're so "tough" in person as you appear online. Regarding appearances and hypocrisy, we all also notice that -- while you criticize the USAF and your peers -- it's YOU who has a blog featuring YOUR picture in uniform, YOUR combat time, and YOUR medals. So proud, yet so ashamed? A shining example of "the Man," yet so against "the system?" Your laptop must be powered by your own cognitive dissonance.

Our WG/CC said that he asked his boss if the SAPR down day can apply to all the RPA caps at once said it would "send a message just how important SAPR is to leadership". We shall see if the entire 432 has the same day off. Ironically, if that happens, there will be a whole lot of drinking going on...which apparently turns most of my friends into rapists. Or at least greatly increases their opportunity to rape and what not. I stick to pillaging and plundering, there is no stigma associated with those actions.

Ok, well I agree with almost everything you're saying. Two points where I differ: 1. SOS is-corr is not useless. The way it is used is insulting, sure, but the readings, which as you pointed out, are critical of the ways we do some things, can be of great value to certain your officers. I don't think it is a waste of time to learn some of those things, however I agree that doing it only to qualify for doing it in a longer version in Alabama is silly. If they want us to read those things before we go to SOS, and SOS is going to be 100% attendance in-res anyways, call SOS in-corr ASBC in-corr instead, and make it a requirement for pinning on O-3. But I know the outcry may be even worse for that plan. 2. Yes, philosophically I agree that getting a check-the-box degree from anyone, anywhere, about anything that may have NOTHING to do with my job as a pilot or as an officer is an insult, and I have been plenty vocal about that. If you want to call me an educated leader, then actually take the time to educate me. But don't make me look like a stooge by pushing me to get a basket weaving degree from the Boy Scouts community online learning center, and then call me the future of the nation because of my impressive credentials. I agree. HOWEVER. The AF pays me good money. Real good. Sure, we have to do things that more than justify that paycheck, but that doesn't make it any less of a good paycheck. I love my job, and I would gladly do it for less money. But they don't pay me less money, they pay me good money. So if they want me to get a degree in advanced VCR repair from Bob's-Traveling-Combination-University-and-Kabob-Van.com, fine. It's their money. You want me to read a few hundred pages about being a leader over the course of 6 months to a year before you send me to read the same crap in a group for 2 months? Fine, it's their money. Can't wear colored shirts under the flight suit anymore on Fridays? Okie Dokie. No more Fun-Meter patches on my pen-pocket sleeve Velcro? Done. It's not a volunteer force. When's the last time you volunteered at a soup kitchen or bake sale (most likely for OPR bullets) and they gave you a check at the end of the day? It's a job. And the expectations were public when you agreed to take the job. AAD's have been a source of bitching since Vietnam. But as a bonus, you aren't even required to get them, or go to SOS online. If it insults your very existence, as it clearly has yours, don't do it. But don't get self-righteous when you didn't check the clearly labeled boxes, aren't promoted, and then your employer decides they are done paying you for your services. And enjoy the free flight training, on the house. Airline pilots are told what they have to wear. Bankers are told what "conventions" they have to attend and what classes they need to enroll in. Marketing directors are paid more if they have advanced degrees, even if they are stupid. I'm all for making the system better, but I'm not going to harm my own interests to illustrate a point. I like being a pilot, and flying different airplanes in different parts of the world. AADs and CBTs suck, but so did living in a shoebox in Bagram. At the end of the day, they pay me $206 per month to fly airplanes, and the rest covers the queep. Sorry for the excessive text.

make sure you get enough tampons too!

An ok just wanted to make sure the NSA hadn't blocked me from viewing it.

Bullshit. Requirements are Captain with 6 years of service and SOS complete via either method.

Toss up whether this should go in this or the History Friday thread, but as it's a movie, I chose here: Command Decision A 1948 movie based upon a Broadway play of the same name (remarkable to think about this being a Broadway hit vs. today's all gay, all the time shows). Some hokey special effects (ok, really crappy) dealing with damaged B-17s, but some great war footage of hundreds of bombers in contrails, crews getting briefed, loading up, etc. And the dialogue, particularly that about interservice bickering, fighting for resources, old guys lamenting about young uns not knowing what is important, and about concentrating on actually fighting a war vs. careerism, is terrific.

Not bad for a constitutional lawyer and commander in chief. You'd think somebody might have briefed him on UCMJ. He has a track record of such 'politically popular' comment despite what it might do to the actual legal proceeding - Cambridge cops v. the professor (and the 'beer summit'), Treyvon Martin ("could've been my son" when the 1/2 white/1/2 hispanic Zimmerman could've been as well. But no lawyer would ever argue that, would he?). https://thehill.com/blogs/defcon-hill/policy-and-strategy/305745-report-judge-rules-obama-comments-on-sex-assault-unlawful-command-influence Funny how he can't comment on other on-going investigations that involve him or his administration.

That'd be in like with the Army, whose Chief says: Not fighting a war...not supporting and defending the Constitution....but sexual assault.

Somebody has to know him in real life? Is this an internet persona or how he acts day to day? I check in on his blog from time to time and if half the shit he says is true his sanctimonious attitude and overall shit-magnetism would make him legendary along the lines of M-word. Edit...after clicking the link to his blog and seeing his blurred out picture, I've decided I'm far too much a gentleman to poke fun at his chubby armed wife and her dress that looks it was ripped of my prom date from 1992.

I just want to know if they also have to wait 2+ hours on the ramp waiting to get their ADC number. Dealing with Indian ATC is a ######ing nightmore. Their government actually makes ours seem like streamlined, efficient geniuses.

Adios, mother######er Edit: Can I have the privilege to say ######?

Not sure what squadrons you have been in, but I would have to say that my experience is the complete opposite. The guys I fly with are some of the best people I know. There have been a few that were not stand up citizens, they are far outweighed by those great people. Maybe that is the advantage of a Guard unit, and that is over a 20+ yr flying career.

On a TDY a few years back the squadron rented a beach house. We decided to create a list of 10 house rules. Number 1 was "If everyone else in the room is an asshole, it might just be you." I can't claim credit for coming up with it, but I laughed when I first read it. I laughed mostly because was thinking of the times that I was convinced all of my bros in the squadron were assholes. Looking back, without a doubt, every time, it was me.

I'm assuming getting drunk and ######ing horny chicks on a Friday, then bullshitting your way out of a potentially negative situation on Monday to you is showing a complete lack of moral fiber. Congrats on being self-righteous. Unfortunately you're being retarded in assuming that your bros lack of morality on your gauge equals a propensity for sexual assault. And don't call them your "bros". If you're view on them is that of distrust and gall, then they are merely "coworkers".

A definite possibility -- https://www.sanktpaulushof.de/restaurant-pizzeria-ramstein.html We've known the owners since back when I was stationed at Ramstein and live in the next village, Obermohr. Friends of ours stayed there inbound and, 7 years later, outbound. A very friendly family owned place and the food is very good. They have a Facebook page as well. Of course would only be beneficial if you get a non-A for on-base TLF. Later.

You're right -- because it never would have even gone to trial in the civilian system due to the lack of supporting evidence. The civilian court system is so burdened as is that they won't bother wasting time and money on a trial where a conviction isn't a slam-dunk. The rest of the US criminal justice system doesn't have the same hair-trigger attitude toward anything remotely sexual assault related as the military -- and the USAF in particular -- does. BTW, citizens on trial are not "found innocent"; they are presumed innocent, and "found guilty".
