You can afford it. Enjoy the game!

If he can demonstrate a pattern that singles him out then he has a solid case for reprisal. For example, it is perfectly legal to order cop Airman Snuffy to guard the gate on Friday and Saturday night. But if Snuffy can show that after he submitted a complaint, his schedule went from a normal rotation to every Friday and Saturday night every weekend when other guys still had a normal rotating schedule, that's reprisal even if an individual order outside the larger pattern is legal. The larger pattern of behavior that makes the individuals life worse after (and thus likely because of) a complaint is illegal. Just like if you saw some dude complain about a squadron commander filing a voucher that was fraudulent and suddenly that dude ends up sitting SOF four times a week and is sent to safety school when his wife is due. All of those taskings are legal if you look at them individually, but would obviously constitute a pattern of behavior that anyone could see was a result of his complaint. The government has an interest to not make people afraid to make a complaint, so protects against this type of pattern.

That is exactly what my son said last night. He can't go, his college starts classes on the 19th, but he thinks I should go. Sort of, you forget I was on the field for two (87/89), and at the Rose Bowl in Jan 2002 when we crushed Nebraska.

Gonna keep it real guys, unless you need to get exempted from the VML (which can probably be done through your current AFSC OAT), your career field wants you to PCS/A, or have a family emergency, it's probably not appropriate to email the UFT board. I get being frustrated about the 30-60 day window for RIPs closing but their email is explicit in that they ask if you do not get assignment info by 1 Mar 26 to then contact the org box. Asking for an update because we're at 60+ days is jumping the gun. The shutdown definitely didn't help organizing training dates for us and the other >930 rated accessions. Not saying it's morally right or fair, but honestly, part of the job is giving up some capacity to plan for the future to AFPC. I've never met a retiree who said they had perfect communication and heads-up for every transition in their career.

Concur. This is a once in a decade or multiple decade opportunity. If they win and you don't go you'll regret it forever.

Miami started strong but Ole Miss made some great adjustments and it turned into an epic battle. I was really torn because...F@ck Lane Kiffin. Was great to see Beck get some redemption with the run in touchdown. Tonight will be interesting, Indiana is a freaking machine but Oregon played them tough the first game. Planning on going to Miami for the Championship but tickets are outrageous.

Congratulations @ClearedHot You guys look really solid. Sounds like about 25 years is the rate at which non-dynasty programs require to put another NC in the bank (Michigan.) Maybe I'll root for you guys so I can start FSU's clock - 2038 here we come! Or USC in 2028.

Good luck, but with documentation and persistence, it can be done. It took me three years to get rid of a dude, but I did it. Looking back, it's the only thing I accomplished in three years at AFOTEC.

The lone exception is the one I always go to when I’m going back home to Cheyenne. Hence my bad intel.

Concur, in our backyard I’d like us to start making offers that can’t be refused; offering a better deal than the Chinese or Europeans can offer. Basically plugged into our security, intel, economic / finance, tech system with access to visas and fair trade based on compliance with treaties, agreements, etc… you remain a sovereign country but we are friends with benefits now. Cuba could get a nice off ramp from the rogue nation highway in this instance
