Sorry sir, but we closed 5 minutes ago.

Shit, I just remembered she WAS the SOW/CC at the time. I will fix it

Yeah. I know we shouldn't be so quick to judge. It just reminds me of another airman in the early 2000s I flew with who was arrested for child abuse. He was shipped to the OSS during the investigation. He was charged and did federal time for molesting toddlers. Not only did be molest them, but he was taking photos of his own children to use for trades with other scumbags. You would have never thought this guy liked banging toddlers. He was a "good dude" like everyone else. I hope this guy didn't do anything to hurt anyone. But I wouldn't be surprised if he did. The #metoo movement can eat a bag of dicks.

I'm not the jury. He could be innocent for all I care. But why in God's good name would he even be a suspect in a child abuse case?

To any future aviators reading this, when you become an adult, don't bang children. It's not as cool as Wooderson (Dazed and Confused) makes it out to be.

She flew on the Huey with us at Fairchild in 2016. Prior to flying with us, our HARMs troop discovered she did not have a current form 8. I was the CCV chief and had to let her know she couldn't log flight hours on the Huey. Prior to that, she had been logging flight hours in the MC at ABQ and nobody noticed. She was flying without a current form 8 and logging primary hours (in the MC at ABQ) as the SOW/CC. Before somebody says she can fly on whatever she wants as the CC, she can't log hours unless she has a current form 8 (in any platform). I think the SOW/CC should know a little better. I flew with the previous SOW/CC during that same time period. He had a current form 8 in the MC. He logged flight hours and I let him land on the top of a mountain. Good times.

I found a video on reddit

It's because equity and science. Don't be racist!

Ok.

Regardless, if they have to take money from airmen they're f-ing something up big time.

I think it's great to give NCOs a pay raise but why only NCOs? Also, when has it ever been good to take non taxable income away from your people? Especially if they are the same people hopping into aircraft and flying for a living. Or maybe it's a CCT, PJ or JTAC that do jobs that put you in harms way. How many finance troops think they might die when they go to work?

Replace ignorant with ridiculous and you get the point.

Maverick needs to steal their F-14 and bring it back home!

I agree with everything you just said!

Little Debbie is not woke.

First off. I'm glad we're spending money in the Ukraine. To answer your first question. Because nobody cares. What other brain busters do you have for me? Edit: I reread my post and I can see how it's confusing to you Pawnman. I'm not implying that we should take money from Ukraine and use it to help the homeless. I was trying to show how the government doesn't really care about domestic issues like homelessness. Because if they did, it would only take a little "budget dust" to help them. If we have money for all of the foreign aid we provide to the rest of the world. And if what we are spending in Ukraine is merely budget dust, then surely we could have helped solve some problems in our own country with a little dust as well. I should have clarified that in my previous post. I don't mind spending money to help get rid of Putin. Not one bit.

They figured out that with the amount of sleep loadmasters get in flight, they're not actually working as much as everyone else. Lol.

That's one of the small victories in the battle to retirement. Fly, fight and win! You can find employment where nobody cares about the red slides out here. You can also do nothing if you plan well and live within your means. Not a recruiter. I loved flying and my bros but hated the queep. Stick it out one way or another for some type of pension; Active, Reserve, Guard or Federal. Get something for that time served. You earned it! The irony is one of my last posts (prior to my resurgence last month) on BO was in this very forum talking about queep and people getting RIFd. I probably had about 12 years in at that time. I wish I could tell my past self that I made it into the golden parachute club. That would've been a huge stress relief. Lol. I remember the good times. Flying in the military was a privilege and I took my job seriously. In the end it's about getting our bros/sis home. Whether it's on a combat sortie providing CAS or on training sortie teaching a young dude how to land on NVGs in whiteout conditions. Some didn't make it. Remember them. We all know who does the flying, fighting and winning. Good luck and have fun! You'll think about it everyday when you're gone.

That sucks if you guys (retired) take a cut in any type of pay but especially special duty pay. Flight pay was enough to keep me from going crazy when dealing with non aviators (low to mid ranking mx dudes were cool too). It was a sanity buffer.
