Standby

As a guy who did a manning assist for Vance, I can say they had the most put together program I had seen when compared to CBM and DLF. I spent time at SPS but didn’t fly with them.

Since this thread is on top, I’ll throw my usual plug. We’re under contract on a new home. Using Trident as our lender for the 3rd new home (+ a refi on an investment house) in the last 4 years. Rates can’t be beat, and the people are even better.

Repeat of race 1 with the DRS battle, except the yellow killed the flow. I know its racing…but Checo deserved the W.

Absolute dog crap of a finish.

I think I’m in the minority here. I love the new cars. Wheels look like steely’s on a winter rally car, and the upgrade in tire size gives them an aggressive profile. The wing is meh. Merc really needs to get their aero/suspension tuned if they want to compete. Drivers are having their brains absolutely rattled with that porpoise.

I didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, and I’m not a security manager. Quoted from a 2019 article on ClearanceJobs Another question raised is what happens when a worker under CE leaves his or her cleared position? If your clearance is good for five years (for example) and you leave your job with four to go, are you still monitored? If you leave the cleared industry entirely, does Big Brother keep an eye on your Facebook account until your time is up? According to Boyd, if you work for the federal government as a civilian, contractor, or military member eligible for access to classified information, you will remain subject to CE only as long as you maintain a government affiliation. “When government employment or affiliation ends, the individual is unenrolled from Continuous Evaluation and the action is recorded in the appropriate clearance repository.” But what if you decide later to return to the cleared workforce? Do you start from scratch with the old adjudication regime? Nope, says Boyd: “Continuous Evaluation would resume if the individual is deemed eligible for access to classified information after returning to a government affiliated job.”

Not to derail, but didn’t they move to a continuous vetting cycle for security clearances instead of the periodic (re) investigations? I’m not a security dude, so I am not sure if that would affect your disposition after med retirement. I have several friends who have been through the med retirement process (broken back, broken neck, lung issues, etc) but they didn’t provide the level of detail you did above. Sorry I can’t contribute more to the thread. God speed!

That’s a hard sell man. Do you have any bros at a UPT base? They might be able to ask their RA for a sample policy memo, which could then be used as a baseline to combat the POG quartermaster.

Quoted to establish your rumor as gospel.

I think she’s wearing a prop from Pulp Fiction.

I bet if Fauci said it you’d believe it.

Benny is catching a lot of shit right now, and I can understand that. What I can also understand, is the possibility (albeit quite remote) of a fighter pilot coerced into receiving the vaccine to safeguard his income, at great expense to his objecting conscience. If someone was disgruntled enough about receiving the injection, and subsequently had an adverse reaction while flying…I personally don’t see it impossible that he may have uttered words similar to those alleged before the mishap. The simple facts known to us: a DoD F-35 was involved in a mishap on a carrier. Everything beyond is conjecture, and al possibilities CAN exist.

A bit of BO.net lore, but if only we had some “spec ops fighter pilots” around that could fill this niche role. I’ve heard bqzips mom could be cadre.

I think you are onto something. Take notes future wingmen…if a major screw-up is impending, don’t forget to complain about chest pains and yell “fucking vaccine” before doing whatever it is you were about to do.

Can anybody show me the reg/reference for sanctuary? I’m vaguely recalling O-5s at the 18yrish mark getting the boot.

Definitely bring the boat, but temper expectations. The lake is close to the historic low (2013) since it’s been dammed, and finding a suitable ramp could be difficult depending on the size of your boat.

It’s probably because they weren’t actually fully vaccinated. The majority of the ship only had 3 shots…you need at least 6-9 for full protection and to guarantee zero transmission.

Serious question: are there any ejection-capable fighter or trainer aircraft in our inventory that recommend a landing with single MLG unsafe? If you don’t have safety access, the AIB gives much of what you may need. I realize there are different seats, but one of the most important parts of this mishap (to me) is the failure of the seat. I think far too many people make go/no-go decisions without consideration for seat failure. I have seen people take too much unnecessary risk with a blind assumption that the seat will get them out of a bad spot if things go too far south.

Are you saying that the CC needs to interview the person receiving NJP prior to delivering it?

Sounds better than any other SkillBridge I’ve heard of. I’d definitely do it! What’s the worst that could happen…you relocate east, totally change your appearance, and never see your family again?

It’s not hypocrisy Aspirin…1899 Advil…1961 Tylenol…1955 Those are the approximate years that each of the medications you listed were developed. Fetal cell testing for developmental purposes didn’t start until late 60s. There is marked difference between developing something with fetal cells, and testing it well after creation for the novelty factor. If someone were to test the effect of aborted fetal cells being placed into a bottle of Aquafina, are we now no longer allowed to consume it based on religious beliefs? Stupid argument man.

I sat the position you sat in. For some reason, I needed to have a come to Jesus moment with a bunch of young ACs and CPs. They didn’t understand that being tired wasn’t a reason to not step. I asked them if the ground force and the helicopter guys that were literally AWAKE for almost 3 days straight, hopped up on an insane amount of dex, and coming back from every flight with LOTS of bullet holes in their aircraft would be OK without the air support they were authorized…and very much needed. Lots of light bulbs came on. Absolutely one of the most disappointing points in my career…listening to some SNAPs complain about getting to do a no-shitter mission with lives literally counting on their pilotage and having to “motivate” them to just get it done.

AMS Robot emails. Typically 3 hiring boards per year. One closed out yesterday. Applications typically due ~1-2mos before in-person interviews which are mandatory attendance if selected to interview. In-person interview is about a 6 day calendar commit but can be shorter depending on your circumstances. Min requirements used to have cut-offs for hours and the like , but the following are still true: AC or above in an MWS, IP in any manned aircraft, no single-seat only, 3 years TOS by a cut-off date, current/passing PT score. I PM’d you a link.

Are what ifs are open? What if, instead of locking down the country and forcing people to PIO their social interactions we just lived normal lives? I think more people would have been sick sooner, but do you think we’d be past it sooner as well? Are we delaying the inevitable and attempting to control an uncontrollable force of nature? Will letting it run its natural course bring a large immediate death toll but then taper significantly? I’m not smart enough to know, but I don’t believe anybody out there is either. All of the predictions have been wrong at this point.

Constitutional carry AND prohibition on vaccine mandates? I wonder how the California transplants are going to handle this one…
