I’d consider buying season tickets to see a trans Lebron (pick your NBA player) compete in the WNBA. Every home game would be a combo of the circus and the Harlem globetrotters.

Being homeless in ANC has always baffled me. I guess hitchhiking through Canada might be difficult, but is it harder than living on the streets during an Alaskan winter?

The three standard lies: “checks in the mail”, “I love you”, and “no, I won’t c** in your mouth.”

ePEX is why there are 20+ fighter squadrons using the gonkulator (created by a viper dude) to schedule.

This GO met with each new class of PIT students to remind them there is zero tolerance for sleeping with students or doing weed. Can’t wait to hear what the misconduct in question ends up being. Who knows, maybe he just made the mistake of voicing out loud that there are two genders..

Who wouldn’t love living on lawson’s food for a month in a hotel lobby because the J’s wont let you leave the hotel during COVID? Also, the great white north with $13/day on CED orders in the winter is a real treat. Australia in condemned conex containers full of black mold, who do I need to bribe to get in on this TDY? The stories from the bros goes on and on. This was just a 6-9 month TDY look back. I’d actually rather just have a pallet of MREs, a tent and a cot than this Mickey Mouse BS. If this is the premier theater:

Dude whatever you do, try and stay away from PACAF. Going TDY around the pacific is great until you realize they look for any reason they can not to pay you per the JTR, or they just never put funds in your DTS LOA.

Agreed on the Wagner guys.

Well I never heard of any B-29 crews executing a mutiny or trying to kill Lemay when we fire bombed Tokyo. If your counter is to say, well they started the war.. I’d day, who, the thousands of ppl that we burned alive? I’m not saying anyone needs to feel guilty about killing an enemy soldier, but I have no problem with someone feeling bad that some poor Russian kid is getting killed for a war he has no viable way of getting out of short of committing suicide or relegating his family to the gulag.

I know an AF promise for DO etc. is commensurate with the three standard lies, but I heard this from a dude in that sq. Which is why I said it was a rumor.

Dude, a conscripted Russian soldier has less say about going to war in Ukraine than an American volunteer soldier had about going to war in Iraq. Not to mention the repercussions for an American in that situation are trivial at best compared to a Russian soldier. It’s mighty easy to throw spears from the cheap seats. Are you willing to have your entire family killed/put into prison because you refused to serve? I wouldn’t want to be a military aged male in Russia right now.

Keep in mind some genius let him be in charge of molding ROTC minds.

OP, in all honesty getting to a fighter from your current position is a pipe dream in today’s AF. I’ve watched -38 trained dudes that dropped bombers try their entire career to get into a fighter and still, despite how good of a bro/pilot they were, not be able to get a guard unit to hire them. You’re talking moving from T-1 trained to fighters. To be honest, your best option would be to DOR and see if a navy/marine reserve unit would hire you (although there might be a rule against that). I’m not trying to be harsh, I’m telling you the facts as I know them. However, you never know what the future will bring. When we start trading shots with China big blue may take anyone with a pulse to fighters. The previous advice of trying to go OA-1K is solid. Based on current timeline you might want to push for T-6 FAIP while that comes online (you’ll have to ask around about that). The key takeaway for you though is that if you don’t come to terms with the fact you’re most likely never going to be a fighter pilot and start focusing on the here and now, you’re screwed. The other guys have mentioned it, but no chach that walked into a heavy squadron telling everyone he shoulda been a fighter pilot ever got the opportunity to cross flow.

Chief bass and the rest of the SNCO core that would rather have a group circle jerk so they can get promoted than take care of their ppl. The enlisted senior leadership is no different than the officer side. The difference is that senior enlisted leaders know senior officers will do what those officers have been trained to do, trust their SNCOs. Those SNCOs then have a free hand to do as they please and crush anyone that gets in their way.

I’m gonna ignore your political comments and begin by immediately making a political comment. Here’s a link for what that word actual means: ignore definition. As far as officers being leaders goes I tend to agree that most of the ppl I’ve met I’m who were in command were managers not leaders. However, if you want to talk responsibility for the shit lives young enlisted live then I recommend you take a look at the E-8/9s that are burning morale to the ground. I can only speak to the mx enlisted side, but if the rest of the enlisted service is full of leadership as toxic as what I’ve seen there, then no wonder young airmen are having issues. Can’t imagine why there is a shortage of mx personnel.. oh wait it’s because you get nailed to the wall for minor mistakes. Meanwhile SMSgt chucklenuts is banging anyone but his wife every TDY. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve dealt with some great SNCOs, but they were the absolute minority. Most of them couldn’t lead a pair of steak knives out of a wet paper bag.

Sure he was a 1 tour guy? Heard a rumor he was going to be a DO at a UPT base..

Wait until they start making IFF guys teach TP Stalls when FBF gets up and running.

Ppl believe what they want to believe. These days that tends to fall in line with their political affiliation. However, if you’re a college educated individual and you think the medical community has a firm grasp on exactly what long lasting side effects may or may not occur from a vaccine developed in 18 months, then I’d say you’re either extremely naive, don’t have a background in any kind of science, or haven’t seen a commercial for a drug that’s been out for 10 years that they’re still finding causes certain side effects. If your counter is, “well most side effects occur in the first X months.” Scoff. Its a risk analysis based on time and the number of ppl in the sample size, and currently from my perspective the time aspect is a significant factor. That aside, if the military wants me to get vaxxed, then make it mandatory and back that up with medical care for any long laying side effects. Prior to that don’t treat individuals as a pariah for waiting until the EUA is rescinded (like individuals on this board that are involved in ROTC..). The amount of ppl I saw get absolutely screwed by leadership for holding out while it was under EUA or that submitted exemptions is abhorrent. In 10 years if there are side effects for ppl that took the vax under EUA do you trust the DoD or the VA to take care of you, or do you expect them to show you the EUA fine print. This pandemic has revealed the true colors of a shockingly large number of individuals in positions of authority in the DoD. Turns out if you punish ppl for not violating any regs they lose all respect for you and wouldn’t follow you into warm water.

Out of curiosity, is this individual still going to be flying in the AF?

Curious which response this will garner. The Jules: or the Dude:

The first person to cut their dick off in the pool of applicants will definitely be the next CSAF.

Imagine how horrible it would be when you prove them all right by doing a mediocre job. Or worse, focusing on DEI instead of solving other actual problems.

I no joke laughed for a bit when I read this. Idk how much time you’ve spent in PACAF, but the dumpster fire meme comes to mind when considering their “logistical prowess”

I don’t disagree that ppl on the right need to stand up against bigotry and radicals. I don’t think anyone that regularly posts on here disagrees with this either, and I also don’t think the vast majority of conservatives disagree. However, I don’t see large sections of the right having rallies and pushing for legislation calling for segregation or for women to wear chastity belts until they’re married. Those ideas are just as ludicrous and anti-American as what more and more liberal pundits seem to be championing. What I do see is the mind numbing rot that is DEI infecting young minds across academia. If you want to argue that the majority of democrats aren’t leftists then you may be correct, that’s not something easy to prove or disprove. Regardless, the loudest voices are carrying the party and the academic institutions are pushing DEI harder than a Baptist minister pushing the collection plate at a revival. Interact with some young college students (probably not at liberty university) and bring up DEI and we can compare notes. Both sides have issues. Obviously. The over correction by the left is going to cause some serious upheaval or a break in society in the coming years, and that’s not shit worrying to me.

The only thing that could make it even better would be for ppl of a certain skin tone to pay other ppl with the opposite skin tone money, specifically because of their difference in skin tone. We’d be a complete utopia if we could just convince the nation to let public schools and hospitals change the gender of minors regardless of their parents’ wishes. We can even have it subsidized. These are serious issues that I believe are going to cause major strife in our country. We have a history of ppl willing to commit violence when they’re being mistreated, especially if it’s due to their skin color. Besides that, idk anyone that’s not willing to commit violence when another person attempts to harm their children. I’m concerned the far right is going to grow exponentially if these issues keep getting pushed by the far left. We need less violence not more. Not only that, we need liberals with the intestinal fortitude to stop letting the radicals in their party push this ideology. You wouldn’t have a large part of the population ready to vote for trump if the entire fabric of the country wasn’t being ripped apart.
