With or without dinosaur puppet?

You're being RIF'd?

Where’s Toro to give the young’n some mentoring?

I'm not sure that's correct. That was one of the big spears thrown at the original version: no USERRA protection, and I'm not reading a substantial change to that position with the current iteration. However, I worked alongside quite a few furloughees in the past decade, and their airlines were willing to play ball and let them defer recall to stay and finish 20, and then return well after their 5y clock had long expired. So who knows?

Sure. But that same conversation needs to also happen with the A-staffs who conjure up quite a lot of the queep.

Huh? Thought you were a white jet and Viper IP. No?

Met lots of “recats” who were either unsure how they had been recatted or felt they had been sold a bill of goods. Will be decades before the TAMI hangover is gone.

MX is asking for a pilot to go get it, otherwise it's an OPS CNX for the morning go.

With a family? uhhhh, no.

Let’s cut to the chase then. If he wasn’t Green Dot current, look no further.

I don’t know, I think it’s a fitting description. If the thing actually flew, it looks like it would be a horrible nightmare for both the flyers and maintainers.

If you do not have to involve finance/DFAS, then don’t. That’s an entirely unecessary risk; they will fvck something up, given the opportunity, as you’re already experiencing. I paid mine via auto bank ACH.

Had my work laptop on the passenger seat when I got stopped once. Amn Snuffy reading from his clipboard "Sir, the reason we stopped you [lots of words] searching for contraband, government property...[more words]...do you understand the briefing?" Yes, go bananas {while I stand there checking FB on my phone}. Search over. "Sir you are free to go." Uuuuuhhhhh, can you read me that part about what you're looking for again? "[words]...government property...[words]" . Ok, so...nuthin? No? You sure? Final answer? Hokay then, deuces! No shit. Bradley Manning could have been driving off base with the motherload. Theater.

That's quite the spirited discussion goin on over there.

And wouldn't you know it, just a few months later, TAMI dudes started getting TX orders. A few that I know are still in. TAMI was a lesson in values. Shared values. And messaging. And fucking up that messaging...wholesale. Yet, noone was fired, near as I can tell. Back to values...

Used to bug the shit out of me when I'd walk into base ops (sergeant) and they'd auto-sir me. Brief explanation that, no, despite the bag, I'm an E-5, you can call me Sgt, shithead, whatever, just knock off the sir. Still sir this and that sir. FFS. Then I finished OTS, now immersed in my newfound Blue world, was when I finally noticed, they're all sir/ma'am-ing each other. MSgt calling A1C sir, SSgts calling each other ma'am. And also calling me sir. But since they also call the coffee pot sir, seems like much less of a courtesy extended. Its a culture of diluting the enlisted rank structure, delineation and responsibilities within enl/NCO ranks, and the enl/off relationship. A continuation of the mindset leading to a SrA stopping a Capt for ________ infraction, and if the Capt does not accept the correction on the spot, the SrA tells their Shirt, etc, etc. My opinion, from the perspective of having been proud to be addressed as Sgt, because it meant something, and I knew early on that if I ever poked a finger in a Marine Captain's chest, I would pull back a bloody stump, regardless of what clownery he was wearing. But that's where I grew up, I guess.

You do understand why AF enlisted address each other as sir/ma’am, don’t you?

Jimmy Kimmel crying does.

FIFY. Seriously, say what you will about JEH and his own dossier fetishes, at least he ran a tight ship, including telling pols to go fuck themselves when the occasion arose.

This. Wing structure wasn't near as broke as the oddity that is a NAF.

1) Prenup 2) Have your wealth established and protected before the marriage. 3) Prenup 4) Prepare to spend a small fortune defending yourself in court despite 1-3. If you have the poor taste to enter family court with the wrong plumbing/DNA, expect to pay the price. Don't stick your dick in crazy. If it F, F, or F's, its cheaper to rent. 40 year old, experienced you is a far better judge of character than 25 year old, inexperienced you; getting married in your 20's is a sucker bet. Rev Lawrence Shannon speaks the truth, and it's an ugly truth.

Current law already allows for this and I'd think that it would be expected.

[slides chips across the felt] All of it on the little Jewish country.

So is “Don’t Panic” the canned message displayed in a Tesla in the event of a collision, or just what they chose to put on the screen?

Paul Bannon, huh? I get what you're saying. Wouldn't hang my theories on one of that guy's quotes, regardless of leanings, but whatever blows your skirt up man.
