If the ADC said that, he's smoking crack. The guys who are ADCs aren't veteran former SJAs, they are the junior guys. ADCs are like public defenders -- they're over-loaded with cases, and can't spend the kind of time on any one case that a civilian attorney can. In addition, ADCs generally don't have the depth of experience that a good former-JAG civilian attorney will. I've seen it in action personally, and not only could the ex-SJA civilian lawyers run circles around the SJAs they were opposing, they were also doing a healthy bit of teaching to the poor ADCs who were assisting them. No comparison, in my book. For anyone who ever has the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in proceedings against the US Gov, I highly highly recommend hiring civilian representation in addition to retaining the services of the ADC.

No SJAs or Commanders -- the people who actually push this kind of action -- make any extra money by doing it.

Cue the next proposed assault weapons ban from Carolyn McCarthy....

I know of guys in my current squadron who have been hired at FedEx, SWA, and Kalitta all in the last 6 months.

The last time I saw it -- which was about 4 years ago -- the legacy fighters weren't out of the inventory until after 2025.

I think compulsory service is a better idea than a draft.

Will Showtime be out of a job?

This will make threat replication pretty cut-and-dried.

I landed right on the centerline today!

I guess I'm the retarded one here...what does this shooting have to do with PYB?

Maybe if the OP had a couple air-to-air kills to his name, he could work that too.

One is a TDY and the other is a PCS.

I guess it shows Syria, after years of incursions from other countries' aircraft (hmmm, who could that be?) in which they were either too slow to respond, or scared to respond, have actually gotten their act together enough that they could shoot down an unaware Phantom.

I agree with Learjetter -- if you look at the history, I think you'll find that the data supports an institutionally-run screening program significantly more than it supports a civilian-run IFT-type program that builds GA experience but does zero screening.

The reality for anyone in the military is this: any school that you can attend part time while being a full time officer in the military doesn't have a pedigree good enough for those jobs, regardless. Guys who get wrapped up in the relative quality of their online degree are missing the bigger picture about what the name on your Masters really means to potential employers.

What would posess a guy hiding in Sweden to marry a Thai girl?

Again, it all depends on your whole rationale for getting your Masters. For the vast majority of AF officers, their decision to get a Masters Degree is almost exclusively linked to their desire to progress in the ranks, and there is simply the added benefit of building their resume for their post-blue civilian carrer. In this light, it makes absolutely no difference. All of the things you have mentioned are peripheral issues that mean absolutely zero. As has been mentioned in the other thread on advanced degrees, most civilian firms that are going to hire you after the military are going to do so based on your military experience, unless you have a specific advanced degree from a specific range of schools. In that case, it still makes absolutely no difference based on the pool of schools we're talking about.

It's moronic that academic degrees have anything to do with the promotion process anyway, so feeling that there needs to be some sort of dick-measuring relative merit between any of the places GIs go to get their square-fillers is even more retarded.

The best thing about TUI's entire program was that it cost the same as TA covered. I thought their business plan was fucking genius -- charge the service member absolutely nothing, have little "scholarship" programs that allow guys to keep taking classes even when they've maxed out TA for that year, make the classes super military-friendly (in many different ways), and rack up the big bucks from guys filling the squares for promotions. By raising their tuition even $1, they've 86'd the biggest advantage they had. They're done.

The guy who made it, Maestro, actively goes after it apparently. He wrote me a nastygram after I uploaded it a couple years back in an attempt to keep it alive.

The no-touch-and-go deal has to do with saving tires only.

The best part is that she was fired over a hair appointment.

Or an LCPA in the squadron.

Good reading comprehension though.
