Yes--conscription is always wrong. Unless you're also for stop ops sing all pilots and paying them half of what they earn now...

I agree...we should ban alcohol again--that way no one will die/be harmed of alcoholism or people driving drunk! Your liberty to rink should not trump my wanting to be safe on the roads or have family members ruin our lives due to alcohol.

Hence the theft piece...thank you for making my point.

Scary and sad that so many of you think this way...the same type of thinking that supported FDR imprisoning tens of thousands of Americans because of their ethnic background. You know, for the "greater good". By the way, if not enough able people are willing to voluntarily fight for our nation then it's obviously not worth defending.

So people on here are advocating for slavery and more theft...great.

Most government contracts, like aircraft mx, are paid quarterly, so they'll continue...

Yeah, Nigeria is soooo awesome lol... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-13809501 And calling Trump a racist is what got him elected--only the far left who hates him and his policies call him a racist, whereas the majority of people from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan believed he had better ideas for the country. I'm personally no more a fan of Trump than I was of Obama (they're both a joke in their own ways) but I'm sure enjoying Trump's policies a lot more than Obama's.

And to me, it makes perfect sense why we would want to scrutinize the hell out of those individuals (all immigrants really) who wants to come here. If it doesn't benefit American citizens then why bring in people who will be a net drain on society? It's bad enough that our federal government fetuses to take border security/illegal immigration seriously, but intentionally welcoming people who do not share our values/have little offer is stupid. Europe is starting to learn this the hard way...

The same Huffington Post which gave Hillary a 98% chance in winning the election? Oh ok...

Trump is anti-women, so clearly this will not happen...

What scoring exercise? PRFs weren't submitted unless the member had a UIF or a DNP.

I'm not seeing the new rates available on the DoD webpage BAH calculator... https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bahCalc.cfm

Because civilian/contract pilots don't work well for the Army or the Air Force when it comes to rotor-wing...so 'cheesy and out-of-touch'.

Firearms accidentally discharge regularly? Do pencils also mispell words? People might accidentally discharge firearms, but it is still caused by a person. "But in a police interrogation, Garcia Zarate admitted to firing the gun, saying he was aiming at a seal." https://wgntv.com/2017/11/30/garcia-zarate-acquitted-of-homicide-in-kate-steinles-death/

Wasn't sure to put this here or the WTF thread... https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/11/30/jury-reaches-verdict-in-steinle-murder-trial/ Unfortunately I wasn't too schocked...it just further shows the decline of our culture/values, especially in places like San Fran and Cali. I've seen more outrage from the left for killing a gorilla in a zoo or lion in Africa...

Does T-38 PIT not ensure that you are qualified to teach the T-38 PIT syllabus?

If they make it through PIT then what does it matter? Heavy guys go onto to fly T-38s at TPS/with the U-2 and I'm sure some become IPs. If you're a good instructor then you can learn to teach anything you've been qual'd in.

Jimmy?

Yeah...I mean the senior leaders would never allow exceptions to policy based off of someone's religion, right? https://time.com/4625313/us-army-uniform-sikh-turbans-hijab/ Full disclosure: I wouldn't have any problems signing the letter/certificate.

Nah, that's wouldn't work--see the Second Amendment for an example of how people don't care what is in the Constitution or what the founding fathers said about a certain issues.

That's because the PRFs suspense date to the Wings were before the CSAF/Air Staff policy release.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

If he was considered such a danger to society before the shooting then why wasn't he in prison? Gun laws work as well as drug laws, so if society does not believe person X should have 'access' to Y (i.e. ability to obtain Y, whether legally or illegally) then due process should be used to put person X in prison until they are no longer a threat to society.

I'm suprised this topic hasn't been mentioned on here lately...

Because they're making you fulfill the commitment you voluntarily signed. Now when they keep you one day longer then it becomes an issue.
