Used the military version of H&R for three years, no issues, like it better than turbotax

Well they were banned for a long time from flying in the EU but recently had that ban lifted.

I refuse to devote any brain matter to that "cis" whatever bullshit.

He's not wearing his Nav wings in his blues, obviously out of regs, don't see how he even made it to O-6 in AMC with his inherent disregard for uniform regs. /sarcasm.- Race relations/police shootings/protests
The black populace, that I see on TV, out rioting and looting are 90% under 35. They have no idea what it was like living in a segregated country or Jim Crow laws. I agree the treatment of blacks throughout our history is not our shining moment, but these people never knew that injustice. They continue to play the eternal victim calling for things like reparations from the Civil War, when they never knew the hardship. I firmly believe after watching several good friends come from bad neighborhoods make a successful life for themselves the excuse for the state of the black community rests solely on their own shoulders.- Race relations/police shootings/protests
I'm sorry Lloyd, but you obviously can't see or understand it because of your white privilege. /sarcasm- Taking FAA Test at Advanced Instrument School (OKC)
Try your local education center, they should be able to do it as well.- FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
Also if you are in the reserves you can always be called back to AD. How exactly is the Air Force going to tell the AD Army to cut you loose so you can come back to AD Air Force? Yeah if demoralizing the majority of the crew force and causing distrust in higher leadership was what you were aiming to accomplish.- Hostage situation in Sydney yesterday
Glad to see their gun control laws are working so great...- Torture! (Here we go)
Rolling up a jihadi on the battlefield and roughing him up to figure out where his friends are so you make it back to your FOB is different than this. Flying a guy from AFG to Europe and extracting information for months about the inner workings of an organization does not qualify to take extreme measures. Now I haven't read through the entire thing but on the surface things like water boarding, sleep deprevation, and cold baths don't fall under toture.- Military docs sound off

These two guys would probably disagree with that sentiment: Doctor joins Army at 64, inspired by wounded son: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2012/07/03/doctor-64-joins-army-for-afghan-duty.html Doctor still serving at 79: https://www.army.mil/article/36749/ The head of Flight Doc at Vance was a Lt Col. who recently joined after his son joined the service and had been a private practice doc for 20+ years. Also the best military doctor I have ever worked with was O-6. There are good apples and bad apples.- Air Force Band at the Smithsonian
I agree, the AF band always puts on an outstanding show. While I think we have too many bands and TiB, I would advocate keeping the AF band.- Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
Yeah and I watch my loadmasters load tens of thousands of pounds of equipment with or without ATOC, during an 18+ hour day and then go back to asscrackistan to spend the night and do it all over again the next day. We all make life choices I know, but don't complain about getting paid to prance around a stage in sequin studded costumes. Yeah like ditching their undermanned shops to put on a substandard show at the taxpayers and military's expense.- FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
We've been short strung for a while, they can't upgrade guys fast enough to AC. We also lost a lot of knowledge and experience with several lead airdrop/IPs/EPs VSPing and the WIC guys getting pulled back to the schoohouse. I heard the other day the C-17 WPS lost almost 2/3rds of the cadre. Right now we have less than 5 WICs instructors for all of McChord and they all work at group or above jobs. I don't think a Haiti surge would be possible since we just don't have the bodies, not even looking at experience or crew quals.- Leather Flight Jacket
On a side note, last time I went through Pops, they said they are looking to open a store in Ramstein by next summer and maybe a store or two in the states.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

I found the envelope, no phone number but there was an email: fritter@av8rstuff.com- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- Return of Friday shirts / patches
I ordered some pen tab patches from them about 6 months ago, no issues. I was skeptical as well if they were still in business. I think I still have the invoice, I can see if I can get you a phone number if you want.- Badass of the Week
Interesting observation, I'm guessing his rack isn't completely up to date since he earned his first Silver Star in Iraq and I only see a Afghan Medal. Also another thing I just noticed is he has 3 Bronze stars with at least one for Valor and a Joint Commendation Medal with a V device as well.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
