Is Fauci going to take the fall or is something else brewing? https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/dr-fauci-keeps-changing-his-wuhan-lab-funding-story-jay-battacharya-tells-laura-ingraham/ar-AAKokMK

My quick bar napkin math tells me that it’s nearly impossible to be a ‘graduated’ sq cc and then have your first look. Even if you’re early to command, I’m pretty sure your first look would still be while being a sitting commander. I had a recent Sq commander who was not a BTZ O-5, but was a school select on his O-5 board, who then was picked up his first look while being a commander. Interestingly enough he turned it down.

Looks like Texas Constitutional Carry might actually happen… https://www.texastribune.org/2021/05/20/texas-constitutional-carry/

You didn’t answer my question from yesterday…

Would you have also given someone an Article 15 if that person 2 weeks ago was in the squadron and not wearing a mask? (not in a room by themselves, closed door, blah blah blah).

Can’t disagree there…but the memo even states that leadership shouldn’t ask people if they’ve had the shot or not. Though I am interested in seeing if commanders attempt to take admin/disciplinary action against those who haven’t had the shot and stop wearing masks…it will open up an even bigger can of worms.

So it looks like no more masks… https://www.stripes.com/news/us/masks-no-longer-required-for-fully-vaccinated-personnel-at-defense-department-facilities-1.673425

Still has to go through their reconciliation process since they’re different bills. Unfortunately I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t happen before the session ends...hope I’m wrong.

Not to get on an abortion debate, but do you think women who get an abortion should be charged with murder?

You can’t reason with the far left (and right)—they’re the same people who think that it’s racist to require an ID to vote and it’s like Jim Crow, but yet requiring that same ID to purchase a gun is just “common sense”. We even have people on this site who support such nonsense. The difference I see is that for the most part it’s the left that has gotten far more extreme with their views in the last 10+ years. Remember when the left was against illegal immigration, and now if you even say the words the left will call you a racist? Just one of many examples. And sure there are examples on the right—the abortion issue for one. But again, which side has seen the greatest change in the last 10+ years? I think it’s obvious.

Doesn’t sound like you and others have been in agreement with much of what’s been posted over the last several years (and vice versa)...so no, not like bops.net.

Wait...so did he make his flight?

If only there was a system of government where there were individual smaller governments (let’s call them states in this example), and they could largely be sovereign as long as they adhered to very basic principles (like no slavery, allowing people to have their own religion, not stop people from being able to protect themselves, etc)...and then people could pick and choose which state better reflected their own values and priorities. This way the national government would have less influence on people’s everyday lives when compared to these state governments. If only such system existed...

Is Biden’s travel ban on India due to bigotry/racism? Asking for a friend... https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-biden-set-ban-most-travel-us-india-limit-covid-19-spread-2021-04-30/

Is that from purchase or the tax stamp check being cashed? Oh and I agree...BS either way.

When was the check cashed by the ATF? Either way, you should receive the tax stamp within the next month I would imagine. Below are the average current wait times over the last 3 months:

Did you use the Silencer Shop kiosk?

Well, the AF did replace a twine engine jet with a single engine turbo prop as its primary initial trainer...

It’s on AFSAS...you need an account/safety officer privileges to view. Or ask your unit safety rep.

Have you seen the spending bills passed over the last 15+ years? Not to mention the absurdity being proposed in the current Congress? Congress doesn’t care about spending money...but they do care who receives it.

Sounds like quite a few of the politicians in the country...yet they remain in place.

The only way that you can get the requirement waived is if you are forced to medically retire. Life comes down to choices—what’s more important? That all being said, I guess you could turn down your next assignment and then if your retirement date doesn’t get to you to 3 years TIG, then you could just apply for a 4-6 month extension...I guess it would have a decent chance at getting approved.

Current amount...with the rare exception if in the new/future bonus it allows you to sign the new one for more pay/longer time period. Something like this happened for us that initially took the bonus in 2014.

Ok...but I have yet to see anything official with the change from 2017/2018, have you? Quick internet search w/in the last year didn’t show anything as well.

I’m obviously unsat for low SA and GK in this arena as I thought it was still “100% promotion opportunity” (or whatever) to Major? When did this change?
