Yea, the President can stop saying it was stolen and express confidence in the system with caveats for the non-election impacting amount of fraud that takes place. Otherwise, nope. Trumpists will continue to claim for all time that it was a robbery otherwise. Same as when you get a toxic leader anywhere, it sucks until they're actually gone, but if they've convinced the minions to be toxic...it last for a long-long time.

Last time I ran from a burning jet I ran away at a medium pace for 1.5 miles straight off base. Then I did 80 pushups to impress the locals.

Here's a wild suggestion: the sitting president of the United States could refrain from pushing conspiracy nonsense all day every day. It won't solve the problem completely, but trump conceding and working for a smooth transition would go a long way towards shutting up both CNN and the proud boys.

I wish I had a track close by because I'd definitely do more interval training. I like that the Marine Corps balances our tests. In the spring we run the PFT (3 mile run, pullups, situps) and in the fall we do the CFT (880m run in boots, 35lb ammo can presses, and a 2:45-5 min, dependent upon fitness and strength, maneuver under fire dill with sprints, buddy carries, ammo can carries, a grenade toss, and some low crawling). The skinny dudes typically do pretty well on the PFT - Not too many 200lb + dudes running 3 miles in 18:00 to max the test or doing 23 strict pullups, but those little guys tend to struggle in the fall when those 200lb dudes carry those ammo cans and other people like they're nothing. Bottom line, do a combination of dedicated strength based training, crossfit-like workouts, eat healthy and you'll be fine on pretty much anything.

On behalf of those of us in NY, please don't give Steve Cohen ideas for his new stadium...

Nah, just people who actually care more about the country than we do about Trump's ego. I wasn't rooting for Biden...but the man won the election. Everything that's happened since is just serving to erode faith in the election system. All to serve the whim of someone who has always played fast and loose with the rules. I've benefited from the Trump presidency and I'd have been happy to see four more years...but it's time to let this one go, my man.

Classy? You want us sticking our pinkies out when we drink our coffee now? Get out of here with that shit. The "Woke is cool" thread is down the hall on the left! With all the bullshit going on right now, we have enough material for this thread to easily hit a few hundred pages.

The left already did this when they lost and spent the next four years denigrating the election process attributing collusion, Russian interference, Russian hacking, etc as causal factors to their candidate losing. We have swapped positions with the right now expressing doubts to the legitimacy of the system the left spent tearing down. Media consistency would go a long way towards repairing faith in the system but their blatant left leaning bias isn't going to let that happen.

WTF did the flight doc tell you to suck up any of that? I would have told him to shove it and write me a waste only profile. I mean, good for you for doing it, but how much more damage did you risk doing to your back, especially on situps, because, from what it sounds like, they didn't buy that you had the pain you said you did.

Just an FYI, but you dont need to have a MEPS physical completed to apply for guard units. Not sure how it works on the AD/Reserve side, but its definitely not needed for Guard applications. Typically. Maybe some units do. But I'd focus on getting the AFOQT and TBAS done if you haven't first off.

Seems an interesting time was had by all... "Regrettably, Clarkson got off to a bad start with Yeager as the host arrived late for the interview due to a last minute changes in his schedule.The host shared: “He was standing there, looking at his watch and, as I climbed out of the car, he said: ‘You’re 15 minutes late.’ 'Naturally, I assumed he was joking, so I replied: ‘That’s nothing. You were three years late for the Second World War.' The Airforce officer clearly showed how annoyed he was at Clarkson. He spun on his foot, stormed out, and slammed the door."

Affirm. Wearing my O-5 rank today. Now let's get this pay raise flowing...

O-5 promo lists have been approved by the senate as of yesterday 14 Dec.

One guy proposed just that. Of course, FB was then flooded with "I'm not putting government tracking software on my phone" and "the Air Force can't make me buy a smart watch". So I guess we have a ways to go before I can just give the Air Force access to my Strava and call it a day.

The window to begin receiving benefits at discharge is 180-90 days prior to your retirement/separation date. I personally recommend having the paperwork already completed and ready to handover to the VSO at the 180 day mark. Make sure you keep track of your paperwork’s progress thru the system. I unfortunately had a VSO, that retired immediately after submitting my paperwork, and they didn’t get a replacement for 4 months. The original VSO submitted my documents but the “receiving office” in Wisconsin failed to upload my medical records so they rejected my claim for lack of paperwork. I spent the next 70 days trying to get a status update, which couldn’t do because I didn’t have a local VSO to work with. So the end result was the VA, rejected my BDD claim and stated they wouldn’t BEGIN processing my claim until my DOS versus the 180-90 days prior. This started in Dec 2019, Mar 2020 is when I finally got some answers, which was too late at that point. Fortunately, I was hired by an Air Line, got in class, got sent home from training, withdrew retirement, and now I’m back on AD. At least I get a do-over when it comes to filing a disability claim, and I’m a lot more knowledgeable on the process now.

@tkownedu5 I hear you on money being tight, it sucks right now. If you need to, grab a second job and find a way to make it happen. We're in odder times than usual. From my layman's perspective, it would still be in your best interest to get the certificate anyway to boost your chances. Apparently the number of applicants has been skyrocketing even before the pandemic. Bogidope's website has made it easier than before to see what units are hiring and how to contact their POCs directly. Also as I mentioned earlier with C.W. Lemoine, his videos are getting a lot of views. I had an interview last year and I think the squadron's POC said they had around 150 applicants for one slot. When I was hired in March of this year I think the squadron had around 250 applicants for what ended up being two slots. People are becoming very interested in applying! However, if all you can muster financially right now is the solo, then get 'r done!

The forum is showing 235+ views for this thread so apparently there's quite a few interested lurkers in what we've all been saying. 😎

Look at this lead! Only one in 69 quadrillion chance for Biden to have come back from this if the ratio remained the same. Monstrous Kraken incoming. Trust the p l a n.

To be fair Abu Dhabi is always extremely boring. Something like the last 6 or 7 years, the guy on pole won the race. It's not much different for second and third either. Sent from my SM-N975U using Baseops Network mobile app

Love the near photo like quality of this art. Excellent work.

Awesome. I didn't know she had that history with her Dad. She did Wonder Woman, which I thought was great mostly due to great character writing and heart. If there's anything a new Star Wars movie/show needs it's heart...I'm sure she can bring it. Very excited.

Thank God, now racism is solved!

I’m a 4 time full Ironman finisher and I have a 2-3 month build to the PT test too. Still can’t max the run and I’m 40+.

And before that, the right spent eight years arguing Barack Obama was an illegitimate Muslim born in Kenya. And before THAT, the right spent eight years arguing that Bill Clinton was illegitimate because Ross Perot had given him the 1992 election. Also, Newt was pissed Willy could get a blowjob on the job and he couldn’t. How deep down the rabbit hole do you want to dive for an argument that doesn’t justify what have become truly undemocratic actions by many people calling themselves Republicans?

I've had a lot of time to think about the points you brought up... mainly because they're an almost perfect transcript of the last month of the Ben Shapiro show. So while we're at it let's invoke another Shapiro-ism: two things can be true at once. Thing 1: The mainstream media is biased garbage. Thing 2: Republicans think the election was stolen because that's what their unhinged leadership is feeding them. So yes, I blame republicans for their reaction. I blame them for being stupid enough to accept giant conspiracy claims without adequate evidence. I blame them for latching onto a dangerous narrative that could undo our entire system. And I blame trump for peddling this nonsense 25 times daily on his Twitter feed. I'm not saying the left wouldn't be doing this if they lost. And we can go round and round until the end of time arguing over whether democrats or republicans ruined political discourse first. The bottom line here is we have a sitting president acting like a toddler who had their toy taken away, and half the country is enabling the tantrum.

You can’t blame the average Republican voter for being upset after this election. You had DNC-funded attorneys sue states with Democrat-headed Attorneys General/Boards of elections. They “settled” the court cases to get absentee ballot restrictions (passed by legislatures) changed, essentially doing a run-around of Republican controlled state legislatures. You had the media and social media completely black out coverage of the Hunter Biden/China story. To the point that people were banned from tweeting about it because it was THAT wrong. Yet now the media agrees it’s a story? Only after their guy gets elected? The Biden campaign wasn’t asked any hard, substantive questions during the campaign, and they never once complained about access, despite him calling a lid every morning. To the point that when they did get a chance to ask questions... they asked what ice cream he was eating. The media effectively killed their credibility (or what little of it was left). So, the right is searching for their own media to fill the gaps. Yet they’re being called lunatics for creating new outlets outside of the liberal media establishment, when it was the “impartial” media that drove them to it. The more the media shouts from the rooftops that the election was perfect, non-fraudulent and therefore Biden won... the more certain folks on the right call bullshit and believe the opposite. Because the media has lied the last 8/10 times, so what’s the chance they’re honest now? Listen. I don’t like this shit either, and I think they’re wrong on a big chunk of it. But it helps to try and understand how they got here instead of painting them as redneck idiots.

I suggest going back through this thread from the beginning. We've been laughing at people based off how they look and act for years. That's the most maddening part of the progressive push. It's been okay from the start to have a private laugh at people wearing the craziest shit imaginable in a Walmart shopping aisle, but now it's taboo to chuckle at a dude who literally looks like a clown while simultaneously piggybacking on a movement with questionable motives and throwing in a nod to people who feel mutilating sexual organs should be celebrated. That's not being mean, that's looking at a picture and honestly thinking "What the fu%k?", which also happens to be the title of this thread. This is a private forum where a bunch of bros shoot the shit. No one here would go try to make the pictured dude's life hell, and you know it. So thanks for trying to chastise us like we're children for laughing at the wrong thing, but I'm going to just keep on finding humor wherever it presents itself and tell you to fu%k off instead. Edit: Why can't I say "fu%k"?

Same stuff was circulating on the interwebs four years ago. How many people said they were going to move to Canada?

I met somebody who looked like that at a party once. Turns out that person was an accomplished economist who redesigned the banking system of Monaco to accommodate crypto-currency. 8/10 would hang out with again, but I’m not interesting enough to get the invite. Millionaire many times over. Their partner also looked like that... and was a total mess. Is there more context here? Is BO.net a place we go now to make fun of people for how they look and the t-shirts they wear? That’s some high-school lunch room bullsh1t. I think most here would be happy to engage in a discussion of “black trans lives matter” (and most would likely agree with what I’m assuming you think about it). I’d also be disappointed if this has become an acceptable place to just be plain mean to somebody in a random photo.

Russian collusion is to 2016 as Voter Fraud is to 2020......... It's just that the Ds are Rs now.

Beale was also a brigadier general in the California Militia. California Governor John Bigler commissioned him at that rank to give him additional authority to negotiate peace treaties between the Native Americans and the U.S. Army.

He was a complete raging asshole...but one hell of a pilot and an American hero. RIP

I'm tired of hearing the non-jingle U-S-ay-ay jingle, that's for sure.

Anyone else annoyed by their constant advertising and sponsorship of halftime during football games? I think that they could come up with a better way to spend advertising dollars, given the vast majority of NFL viewers aren’t eligible to sign up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fact that you either have to vote for her or Trump is exactly what is wrong with the two party system in America. Dems and republicans include too many groups that totally make no sense pairing up.

Hitting a TOT is good training for a Buff crew, especially since our turn radius takes us into the next zip code.
