He asked why I didn't tell him, I responded you didn't ask and the CC signed off on my house hunting. Also told him you can forgo my retirement ceremony.

Right before I started my terminal leave after 23 years, my boss a E-8 perfumed prince who always went class C when it was his turn to deploy to the desert came into my office. He told me I will not be receiving any retirement medal. The reasoning is because I just deployed all the time and did my job. You never were involved with all the politics it took to receive a Senior Rater Endorsement. Bake sales, Sq Picnic, Xmas Party, Top 3. Anytime we needed you, you were gone in the desert doing the mission. Two days into my terminal leave he called the house asking why I wasn't at work. Sharp tool this guy.

Do you have to pay extra for those? Asking for a friend.

Disagree, respectfully of course. Don’t Look Up was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I hate being preached to by the Left or the Right. This ended up being left wing propaganda for a painstaking 2:18. It wasn’t even entertaining. Skip it. You will thank me. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The answer will be filled with “the soft bigotry of low expectations”.

The idiot who's the OG/CC at Macdill just told my buddy, who's a Chief, that he wasn't getting a retirement medal because there "wasn't enough stuff to warrant it in his last EPR." My buddy deployed for six-months as the Group Superintendent of the C-17 unit at the Deid. The Air Force wonders why people are voting in mass with their feet...

So this “voting rights” bill…who exactly (that is legally able to do so) can’t vote in elections? And what is keeping them from being able to vote?

My 64 pilot score can definitely confirm it's not all numbers.

Our tax dollars at work in this morass of fraud, waste, and abuse. I could have countenanced them supplying tests in early autumn, ahead of the expected winter surge (omicron variant or otherwise), but this seems like too little too late and just a blatant play to score political points.

Looks like Johnson is putting his Johnson on the table. Finally, someone with some common sense.

Of course it was the MAF, home of the worst leadership in the USAF.

Cool beans!

Maybe in your experience, but that isn't true in mine. I had a Sq/CC get furious with me because he, unbeknownst to me, had appointed me a tax rep for our base. He was irate that I had missed the training for it on a Friday. I was getting a checkride and deploying the following Monday. A lot of times the Sq/CC and/or OG/CC were the idiots pushing for that garbage and the senior enlisted leadership tried to talk them out of it.

Scratch steps 3, 4 and 5 and you have the best gig known to man...going on mloa and back full time just ruins that. For step 1, go ANG (preferably a unit on its own base) over Reserves if at all possible. If you can't do that, avoid a reserve wing that's embedded in an AD wing, because all you'll get is a slightly different flavor of bullshit.

User error. Gotta jam that thing up in there real good. I hear the new rectal tests are going to be 1,000× more accurate and are going to really "flatten the curve".

I don’t believe they’ve connected those dots (or several other dots). It’s all about frothing-at-the-mouth outrage and separating people into worthy and unworthy groups - logic, laws, respect, and history be damned.

https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/jan_2022/covid_19_democratic_voters_support_harsh_measures_against_unvaccinated It is unreal how many Americans have lost all concept of the constitution, basic American/human rights, and are hell bent on dehumanizing fellow Americans who don’t have the same viewpoint as them. They make excuses for themselves to justify their abhorrent behavior. How about accept this is a free country and you will disagree with others, but you should be able to do so while treating them as a neighbor and not as a piece of valueless trash. Here are some highlights for those who don’t want to read the whole thing: - Zero fucks given for 1st Amendment: “Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.” - Take freedom from others, but not from me (because I’m…insert excuse to justify horrible actions): “Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.” - Taking your kids away because I don’t agree with you: “Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine.”

Here's a thought experiment to help evaluate the justice involved here: Swap the skin colors or genders of the two individuals involved. Do you think the outcome would be different? If so, the results of this case are unjust.

Nope. Not good enough. We are not going to outrage over a dozen shootings of unarmed individuals resisting arrest and then decide to not outrage over a person who happens to be of the opposite political end also being killed in another likely unjustified shooting. That's not justice. Everyone needs to be treated equally under the law. Not just people from our preferred political demographic.

Say wut? LOL You're conflating subjects AND missing the macro point simultaneously. Ever heard of the Guard/Reserves? The AF flight lines are not all staffed by Zoomies , not in the least. More on that later. So let's detangle the conflated, by addressing the two distinct issues at hand: 1)Airlines attract civilian applicants who are willing to indebt themselves to that level based on the expectation of upper middle class incomes in early working age without the need to compete in white collar professional schools (civilian airliner piloting is grey collar work). If that expectation didn't exist, people wouldn't do it (aka if regional airline pay hell was the top end to that career choice). Period. Military applicants got d$ck to do with that. Go bark at the airlines, and spare us the socioeconomic shaming of those of us who worked our entire formative years trying to elbow our way into the AF pilot corps, which implies the AF commissioned officer corps by proxy. 2) The question about degrees wrt military pilots is not germane to your gripe about civilian costs. Whether you like it or not, the military has the outright accessions-discriminatory luxury of not relying on a degree-less warrant officer or enlisted corps, to staff their multi-million dollar turbofan/jets. Which means, they can have us elbow each other for a spot at AF UPT, by hook or by crook. That means college degrees, pink tutus and anything else in between, are going to be just another discriminator to get to a coveted UPT slot, good bad or indifferent. Your foot-stomping about degrees not being skillset-germane to aircraft flying is frankly banal and long ago stipulated. You're arguing about the world of what things should be, and not the world of what things are. BL, It's not about privilege-shaming military pilots for having played the game to gain access to military pilot training in order to cajole an expedited entry point to an airline career. A hypothetical itself which btw, is a hell of a presumption on your part, as there's a good chunk of us who never got into military flying for the sake of becoming airline pilots, nor who have a burning desire to leave the flying we enjoy in the military to go watch paint dry to the right of an FMS box on AT. Nevermind the many more who never touch an airliner in post mil life. Don't let BODN be your only barometer on what mil pilots want to do in civilian life. This place has long been established as a airline/guard-reserve transition/ sports kvetching echo chamber. Finally, you're also missing the mark by insinuating that everybody flying for the AF got their degree costs floated by a Service Academy or a ROTC scholarship. Seriously, wtf. Hate the game, not the playa. <--That would probably net you more ideological allies around here on your quest to put "poor/enlisted kids" on the decks of US airliners, than whatever class grievance you're peddling.
