  1. Now read the Rand study on RPA pilot retention after that article and realize Big Blue is creating a perfect storm for itself with regards to RPA manning. God forbid we recognize some form of leadership other than PME attendance and Master's Degree completion.
  2. This. I guarantee it's the gift cards that get people nailed, as that shit can be traced. That or somebody highlighted/incriminated themself on Facebook.
  3. Nor does it crack the top 10 of the strip clubs, pawn stores, tattoo parlours, liquor stores, and payday lenders all of whom cluster around military bases for some reason ...
  4. When you owe someone a couple of trillion dollars, they have a bigger problem than you do.
  5. Unless that Lt Col is security forces at the front gate or works for comm and wants to load some certificates onto that CAC, what business would he have with someone else's ID? He couldn't get the major's name off his uniform?
  6. That doesn't sound like non-A shenanigans, that sounds like kickbacks. Non-As are pretty straightforward, either they have a room for you at the Air Force Inn or they don't.
  7. This always confused me. If it's ok to take a brand new post-UPT Lt and make him a FAIP, why is someone with a greater level of experience not acceptable?
  8. Are they no longer teaching "Superiors correct, subordinates inform"?
  9. The easy solution is rated personnel wear ABUs never.
  10. 4. They are out there, discovered we are a planet of douchebags, and avoid our solar system for that reason.
  11. What's really fucked up is that when this war is over in 2 years and suicide rates decline accordingly, the credit will go to Resiliency Day and Anti-Suicide CBTs ensuring we will be stuck with them forever because they "work".
  12. Actions have consequences, boo-hoo-fucking-hoo.
  13. Yeah, but apparently not the kind he likes.
  14. I assumed the inauguration photo was there to point out that having 43 consecutive peaceful transfers of power through some means other than hereditary monarchy is a remarkable achievement , and is unmatched in human history.
  15. Well, not by the murderer ...
  16. Walking on the moon is almost as badass as being https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7KgdehBBsw.
  17. Seriously, 10 year Senior Airmen? Someone ought to be competitive for TSgt by that time.
  18. Someone enlighten me; what is a "much cranium"? Googling proved ineffective.
  19. Really? You want to watch some guy jump off a bridge?
  20. Mayday! Mayday! He's in a flat spin heading out to sea!
  21. FIFY. Totally agree with the post overall though.
  22. SuperWso, I quoted you, but my rage/disgust was directed at the original poster. His tone just pissed me off, but I'm not sure why. I think maybe he's implying there is something wrong with wanting the pension. We all take calculated risks, and each of us has a point where it's not worth it anymore. There's an anecdote in Barry Lyndon that captures my feelings on this perfectly.
  23. Does anyone seriously hold it against the crew of the Memphis Belle that they went home after doing their 25 missions or any guy who flew 100 in Vietnam and went home? We all signed up knowing there were certain risks, and that we were exposed to them for the duration of our service commitment. If you don't like it, leave when you're commitment is up. There is no dishonor in that. USAF= U Signed A Fuckingcontract.* *Yes, I know I plagiarized that from the Marines.
  24. The way I see it, the boots were free, but I paid $149 to never polish again. Well worth it. Plus they are incomparably more comfortable than the shoddy pieces of shit I was issued at UPT. Now that mine are broken in, they're so soft that every step feels like walking on angel tits.
