I think Billy Mitchell at least knew better than to screw his subordinates.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkDoesn’t matter, he wasn’t Enlisted. Different spanks for different ranks.

Weren't you almost court martialed or something close to that effect?
Yeah, so was Billy Mitchell, what's your point? What does that have to do with McCrystal talking shit about Obama?

Yeah...Obama just fired him instead. So much for "trust".
Cause he violated the UCMJ and talked shit about the big boss 😂
I mean, he could’ve court martialed him since the POTUS is a convening authority. The scary part is Trump could order SECNAV to order McRaven to active duty to court martial him for his comments.

Mildenhall and Kadena are still flying clubs, busy though. Stay away from Fairchild and McConnell. Both OG’s there are more concerned with award packages, zipper length, and haircuts than flying.

As an aviator he is legit, as a combat leader he was beyond legit. I know Boomer very well and had hoped he would be more effective at turning the ship. A year after he took over we were having a private conversation. We we talked about some of the changes, somethings that had yet to change and some recent buffoonery including silly shit like SECAF puking all over a Tbird. I think I said something to the effect of "how can you let some of these things happen?" He took a breath and replied "CH, you would be surprised how little power I actually have." I'm not trying to defend him, just saying we need to keep the context of the political climate and political beasts that actually run the show. Maybe if a few of these four stars spoke out and fell on their swords it might be different...but I've yet to see anyone with the selfless stones to do it.
Valid, however he was also the one at my base in 2013 who was telling a room full of us AETC instructors how he was going to cut all the manning that was an overage at once, instead of per fiscal year, and what a good idea that was (which it wasn't). Which, as people know now, was to buy more F-35's since he was told he wasn't cutting the A-10.

Ok, so he's defending his friend. That's great. But honestly I can't watch any of these retired honorable men on cable news for more than a minute before I stop venerating their service.
I don't care if you're a republican or democrat, if you want to be a pundit, you should lose your clearance.

Read his letter twice, didn't once see the word "friend" included. Most people lose their clearance two years after they retired/separated unless an employers pays to have it renewed.

If any of you were around for the T Mike Moseley CSAF years, people said the same great things about him prior to becoming the Chief.
And then....
He wanted more F-22's, BUFF's were flying around nukes unknown to the crew, and the USAF was sending nuclear parts disguised as Huey parts to Taiwan. The degradation of the nuclear surety mission was due to more than just T. Mike, but he was the CSAF, so he took the blame (with the SECAF).

I remember someone mentioning this program a few months ago. Where enlisted and officers go through a screening program. Are we screening for an Enders Game scenario already where we need the brightest mind to control all of our Space Force attack drones?

What thread does this belong in? I think I have seen it all in the AF now. "Senior Airman claims Air Force discharged him after sexual orientation and HIV status revealed"
Since he was acquitted, he can never be tried again in a court martial/Art 15 for the same offense. However, Commanders and JAG’s tap dance around the Double Jeopardy Clause by handing out LOC/LOA/LOR’s and Administrative Separation since it’s not considered “punitive” and it’s an “administrative issue.” Since he wasn’t an NCO, and probably wasn’t in for at least six years, he wasn’t entitled to a separation board. So it went to the Wing King, who was either the Convening Authority or advised the NAF/CC as the Convening Authority for his court martial.
The military justice system allows the government two bites of the proverbial Apple when it comes charged misconduct.

Oct 2008 - "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America."
Weaponized the IRS.
Obamacare passed on a Democrat party line basis.
Sign two 'treaties' without Senate ratification - Iran nuclear and Paris Climate - both seriously disadvantaged the U.S.
Killed an American citizen without trial.
Unmasked hundreds of American citizens surveilled without any legal warrants.
To point out just a few areas where our definitions of "very centrist" differ widely.
You sound like Baseops's Hannity.

Investigations against one side are simply partisan witch hunts.
Investigations against the other side are in pursuit of truth, justice, and the American way.
Unless, of course, it's the exact same investigator conducting both investigations.
Then it gets a little tricky...
So, since Mueller is a Republican, it's okay that he's investigating Trump, right?

I received the AFPC spam bot today trying to sell the ATT. The last sentence said that selectees will go TDY to Scott for a signing in “ceremony.” The Bobs just can’t wait to congratulate themselves on this one.
Say you’re going to sign, get a free trip to STL, then right before signing tell The Bobs that you’ve changed your mind for needs of the family and don’t sign. They can understand need changes.
Make a note of any CC who gets upset with you so once you’re flying with the majors, you can help blacklist them.

Some of our enemies live in caves, some live in upscale residences. They would definitely say they are winning. I don’t disagree.
Regarding the thread topic... what am I supposed to be worried about regarding Helsinki or the FISA papers release?

Trump supporters would let Trump shit in their mouths, If they thought the Libs could smell it.
Paul isn’t looking too well since his first trial is delayed six days over discovery issues with the unsealing of immunized witnesses against him. Some states, like New York, have hinted at filing state charges against him if Trump gives a pardon.

The Active Duty Wing at Macdill just had a Guard O-6 as the Wing Queen. A few years ago the Montana ANG had a career Herk driver Active Duty O-6 Wing King while they converted from Eagles to Herks. Must be the newest rage in the MAF.

This probably doesn't make anyone feel good, but one of the dudes on the 11M assignment team PCS'd last week to Italy. So, at least his assignment was on time...

There are tanker squadrons out there that don’t have a classified space in the building.
There’s usually a huge SCIF on base where all tanker crews do all their high side things instead of having individual vaults in the squadrons.

So i'm pretty much screwed at this point. Even if i apply for separation that could end up getting denied and I am sent anyways. Seems almost criminal they can hold you against your will past any ADSC you have.
They can Court Martial you if you’re retired. The Marines just ops checked that theory. It is criminal the authority they have.
The Next President is...

The current POTUS is alleged to have cheated on his wife with a porn star and was recorded saying he “grabs women by the pussy.” Seems to have worked out for him so far...
