No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man. That plane don't need longer legs.

Let’s flip the script, how many man hours were spent building radical ideology such as CRT into curriculums at all levels of the military; and said books into the libraries to begin with? CRT and other communist ideology should have never had a place in the military to begin with. Like I said before, most actions occuring now might seem radical but that will be the case when you aggressively course correct back to normalcy.

Remember the mandatory DoD stand down day for DEI several years ago? How many millions/man hours/trng opportunities wasted sitting around in groups talking about this garbage...

Takes me back to my first AFSOC all call. Buck walked out and his cold opener was “naked gunner hugs are over. Let me repeat myself, naked gunner hugs are over!” …and the crowd was divided. 😂

"affirmative action, anti-racism, critical race theory, discrimination, diversity, gender dysphoria, gender identity and transition, transgender, transsexual and white privilege." please tell me why my kid needs to be exposed to CHILDREN's books talking about cutting their genitals off. and books telling my kid she is inherently racist and has white privilege. hypothetical argument because i'll never let my child be in a educational setting that pushes that trash.

Because as the AFSOC/CCC he likely lives on base which is federal property.

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.

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 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.

I sense an important point here. What is it?

I stand unastonished. Not only will he take the gifted palace plane, he'll have use AF taxpayer money modify it, and he'll keep it afterwards. I say if he's gonna keep it, he has to refund the tax $$ used to modify it. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=121680511

*yawn* That sophist nonsense again? cool I'll play. Sorry about the GO thread derail: This isn't about generals, this is a larger austerity project than the author intimates. Yeah I see you (the royal you). I've heard that pitch at least 3 times before in my career as an AFRC baby. It's the same ol song and dance that if your position is primarily stateside, you shouldn't wear a uniform. And I got the same retort I've always had for these doublespeaking austerity hawks: FUPM. That expeditionary force myopia is not suprising, given this admin is the party of FAFO, but you're assaulting/gutting your Reserve component capacity with that kind of deployment-supremacist view. More to the regAF point, wildly overestimating the degree of active duty retention you think you have by attempting to extend that COA into AD end strength. Typical FAFO hubris from the "I won't be here when the grenade goes off" dum dum Willie types. To say nothing of AD largesee for me but not for thee run amok. Matters not. You think you can operationally staff DOD congressional pork barrel economy garden spots with 60 cents on the dollar 'local' blue suiters? Go right ahead, let me run to the microwave real quick and get the corn bag. Fact is nobody with a scintilla of existing corporate continuity/tactical expertise is going to do this job beyond the journeyman level (get the civilian transferable training and immediately bounce, brain drain jobs program) in present circumstances as an ART equivalent or worse, no military code GS, when they have to punch out of that 1960s decaying empire Boeing-betrayed POS. No buck no buck rogers homey. And there's a hell of a lot more to that buck than W2 wages. Serious people recognize than nuance, unserious austerity clowns don't. This not conjecture, they cannot staff ART billets to save their lives even if you threw in a free Oprah car with it. They gutted FERS with that multiplier nonsense (1.0 vs 2.5 or even 1.7 for LEO, good grief, and a 4.4 fee since '14 as of last reading), pushed the sunsetting of ART Tricare ineligibilily to FY30 (a fucking theft, when no such imposition is made of retirees who go straight GS employees). And you want to backstop your baseline regAF capacity with that kind of retail level turnover job offers? lulz. It's also the same reason you're not going to retain talent by trying to send career tactical experts (aka technicians, in the occupational meaning of the word) to warrant payscales. That's not a programmatic quip either, they're not doing that to end up paying operators *O(SP)-4/5 money to do the job. (*that's my ficitious O-4/5 equivalent to the ARMY exintct specialist SP tables, non-commanding track, latter which my late English-illiterate grandfather retired from the army in 1966). The point of their COA is the paycut. FAFO. The level of myopia in that austerity pitch is wild. It's all good though, we already got IPT early exit polls in AETC already brewing a real sweet track record on the FAFO front. Add some Boeing malfeasance on the T-7 side and you got yourself a real boondoggle. I could tell y'all what Boeing plans to do to meet IOC contract legalities this summer, but I'd straight up doxx myself at this point and betray the confidence of my sources, so I'm gonna digress. DOD management (leaders they are not) is starting to show their arsecrack once again when they bend over to pick up pennies while walking over dollars. Now back to GO officer drawdown kabuki theater potato.

Thought I would pay it forward and give my FC1 experience the week of 7 Feb 2022. Day 1: - Blood Draw/Urinalysis - Height, Weight, Sitting Height - Near/Far Acuity -Depth Perception -Color Vision - Eye scans/go over scans with optometrist -Eye dilation/scans with eyes dilated - Eye Pressure - Vitals - Hearing - Reading about Test - Medical History - Dental x-rays/exam Day 2: - Flight doc Consult - Neuro/Psych exam Day 3: - EKG Day 4: - All cleared to go home Overall i had a really great experience at WP, and the docs and people are super great. There were 21 in my group most of which were ROTC. Some advice i would give is to visit the dentist before your visit because he is very particular, and will not sign off unless you get dental work done which some in my group had to do when they returned home. It easily could have been done in two days if not one so be prepared to spend lots of time sitting around. I don't know of anyone in my group who was disqualified, so try not to stress too much. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Hope this helps.

Just got back from MFS yesterday, about as smooth a process as I could have hoped for. Can confirm all of the previous reports about the techs being great, they have their work down to a science. ONLY tricky part was finding the office to begin with if you're coming from lodging on the shuttle. Attached pic should help you avoid the wandering I did around the USAFSAM building. The rooms you are looking for are W103 (breakroom) and W105 (actual MFS cube-farm). We (group of 5 off of the AD board) started up about 0745 and were headed back to lodging by 1430. Started the day with weight, standing and sitting height, butt to knees etc which took about 2min per person. After a short spell in the break room, over to optometry for color vision and a couple eye scans. No puffs, no charts or depth perception, about 5 min per person. Another bit cooling our heels in the break room followed while we waited for the psych testing lady to get free. She brought us to the computer lab where we did four tests that took 30-45 mins a piece with a 5ish min break in between, and that was that. Had one guy in the group that had to hang back for eye dilation because of a prior issue, the rest of us were cleared off after a quick check to make sure there weren't any alibis. They told us we can expect our form 600 to be available Monday, I'll update this post with how that goes if anything is particularly difficult about that. It was really nice that we had the 'good to go' before we left for the day, the staff were happy to answer any/all questions we had about the whole process.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/pentagon-orders-military-pull-library-192211948.html Please Pete, tell me there's nothing more important that a good ol book burn. How many hours will be spent on this? How many hours so far? Wait, there's a panel of people? DOGE them, money saved. Does the list include the Bible, seeing as it contains racism? The buzzword is on the ban list. JFC Pete, do you need help figuring out priorities?
