FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
Where's Liquid or Chang when you need them? I was actually giving some credit to the AF for doing better on this VSP/RIF (with the matrices and all)....but now it looks like it's all just smoke and mirrors.

Alcohol causes men in the military to rape women... Too soon? .......... 'We raped the horses and rode off on the women!'- More SARC briefings soon.
She's pro-gun, so that automatically makes her better looking compared to if she was for gun control. M2 said he agrees.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force
The BRAC has also been recommended 'many times' before...yet, no recent BRAC that has been substantive. But the idea of saving money without closing bases (ie shifting more to the reserves) will probably make the politicians come in their pants.- National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force
So instead of a much needed BRAC, we could get this instead... Well, one thing is for sure--times are getting very interesting.- More SARC briefings soon.
Who says that I don't?- More SARC briefings soon.
Well, if you're hoping to find them just by Google alone, don't waste your time...already checked.- Gen Welsh - USAF Chief of Staff
That's one way to reduce TA costs...- More SARC briefings soon.
I don't think it really matters that much...the damage has already been done. I don't see too many GO's doing what Gen Franklin did from now on...it's falling on your sword for sure. Which is maybe what the politicians and Pentagon civilians were wanting all along--to send a strong message.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Damn dude, that sucks. I don't know what you exactly said, but that definitely seems excessive. E's can be pretty damn hard on their own sometimes (and I would say a lot of time). I would have thought a quick phone call telling you to cut that shit out (if it was bad) would have been enough...maybe they wanted to make an example of you? I have a hard time believing what you wrote was anything worse than what this idiot at the zoo is writing, so it will be interesting to see if anything ever happens to him. Either way, it's a reminder for us all to watch what say on social media. ...forgot to add: I have a few buddies who have their FB accounts with the names like 'BillandJenny Smith' (names changed to protect the innocent). This way they can always say "I didn't write that, my wife did"- WTF? (**NSFW**)

I'm sure he's not the only one saying stupid shit...doubt there's a lot of them saying 'this' kind of stupid shit on twitter, as well as having their main photograph be in their uniform, but what do I know. Let me ask you this: If I'm downtown and at a bar (not even in uniform) and I'm with my buddies saying a bunch of stuff that is promoting assault, sexual assault, using racist remarks, etc, and a coworker (maybe a female?) somehow overhears me acting this way (without me even know that the coworker is there)...should anything happen? If she mentions something to the boss, does the boss just shrug their shoulders and tell the coworker "Oh well...it wasn't on base". Or does the boss/supervisor take this guy aside and at the minimum tell them to stop acting like an ass-clown when in public and for saying such stupid things? I'm not at all suggesting they toss this dude out, what I'm saying is to give him an ass chewing to let him know that when he does this on social media (with his picture and/or name available) that he not only makes himself look bad, but that he makes the Air Force look bad. This then gives him the feedback that he needs, since he obviously sees nothing wrong with what he is doing, and allows him to correct his behavior without a negative mark on his record. Tell him to take down his pictures and use a ghost name if he feels he just has to act like a thug. Damn, we get in trouble if we say 69 or have a picture of our wife in a bikini at work, but this shit is allowed? Maybe I'm just getting old. Get off my lawn!- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Very good to see. I hope guys like Colt, Remington, Springfield (you get the idea) all do the same!- Liberty, Rights, and the Constitution 2
Hearing politicians talk about The Constitution, and actually mean it...gives some hope. The problem is that those politicians are in the minority (in both parties). Unfortunately it's not going to make a big difference in the short term and definitely not in the long term. People are more focused about raising the min wage (the min wage is about as anti-Liberty as you can get) and are less concerned with the growth and power of the federal government. We did it to ourselves.- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Apparently you aren't familiar with what happened in the 90's with regards to this issue...- FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
Pics or it didn't happen.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- Study: Nuclear Force Feeling 'Burnout' from Work
So we're talking about ICBM's, land-based, and launching (Butters mentions all three) and yet you go to dropping bombs in WWII. So, yeah, we have never launched a land-based (or out of a sub) ICBM. ETA: We've never launched one at a different country...since some people like to twist things around. - Drop Night Booze Question
