Wait...there are certificates of promotion? I have never received one of those...as an O-4. At least my DOR is before the dog...

Nothing sinister, but it's...uh...shocking...that A1 implemented the program without full understanding of Title 10, leaving local MPFs and CCs to twist in the winds of conflicting guidance and creating stress/drama for separating members. It is similar to the A1C at the Finance Office fooking up your travel voucher, but on a MUCH larger scale. I am relieved that SECAF fixed the issue.

We're just doing more less with less, bro.

Jazz flute is for little fairy boys.

As far as digital watches go, the most accurate I've seen are the Casio gadgets that get a nightly time-hack from one of the 6 clocks in the world that transmit a synchronization signal. If you're in range of the signal, your watch will have a GPS-quality hack. Problem is, many bomb-sponge countries in the world are well outside the range of the synchro signal. As soon as you put on your war pants, your watch isn't any better than a $36.14 watch at the BX. For daily use, however, they can't be beat.

Except it would be nice to have a budget. And to not be sequestered next FY.

Note that Lt Gen Cox did NOT say that you should attempt to get said info from a local commander. Remember when your chain of command meant something, and commanders were notified when their personnel received life-changing news? The robot email now knows more about your destiny than the man in the office with the G-series orders. My, how things have changed...

Those without much chest hair have to resort to buying a chest merkin.

That dude's going to have a helluva time trying to get a good seal on his M-50 mask.

I didn't know Strike Pig drivers could tell time. I thought they just took a WSO with them everywhere to have the time read to them on command. That said, that's a slick lookin' timepiece.

Yeah, direct feedback and honesty are a thing of the past. Maybe the same can be said about that whole "winning wars" thing we had going... Or, you could just shut the fuck up. How's that for bullying?

Flaperon.

Then there was the whole "I didn't get an air-to-air kill because I forgot to uncage my AIM-9" thing... Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

You're trying really hard, dude. Why not get off the interweb and try doing something that's actually worthwhile?

This popped-up on my Fox Bravo feed:

Maybe a mid-air? As of 1830 in CA, news is still reporting that the 2nd pilot hasn't been found. Here's a prayer and a beer for that Hornet driver...wherever he/she is.

Not crudely sewn-on. WIC instructors wear a patch similar to WIC grads, except it has the thick black border.

And let's not forget that the airborne personnel gave the JTAC enough confirmatory comm (no friendlies on the ridge) to feed the JTAC's expectation bias. No arty asset would have been able to provide that. Be warned: JTACs often assume your SA is higher than theirs, and sometimes this is not the case.

"Hmm...why is the IR pointer flashing directly at those blinking lights on the ground?"

Ah, the Lockheed-Martin business model.
