Glad that’s been your experience, but my experience with multiple large companies in the business world has been exactly what I stated. It’s pervasive and unfortunately probably a lot more planted than you think it is.

Which is all the antithesis of the “DEI” movement today. “DEI warriors” are the most exclusive, close-minded, hypocritical, racist, sexist, shittiest humans in this country. I could add more adjectives, but those will suffice for now.

I think that’s most bonus takers anyways. They were never really going to get out, so might as well take some extra money. Agreed it’s pretty dumb to stay in just because of the bonus.

Sure it’s possible, but why are you not going straight to applying for flying unit UPT boards? Either skip RPA entirely, or maybe consider it your backup gameplan and pull that trigger if/when UPT boards are not working out and you can’t stand waiting anymore/still have desire to serve.

Off my STS game yesterday, I blame the beer!

From a receiver perspective, the stiff boom thing seems overblown - 46 is about the same as a 10. I have no complaints/issues with it, except for the stupidity of the camera system.

You’ve hit the jackpot, take that money and run!

Maybe is implying manning is down in the ARC because of airline hiring. Yeah, that’s true to an extent. But he (and others) need to keep in mind days/dollars don’t just magically appear because of this. Wings can argue for more until they’re blue in the face, but they’ll get whatever congress decides to give them via budget decisions. We’re pretty lean right now, zero additional days to help that fact. “Do more with less,” or maybe it’s “go to the airlines now”…one of those…

The amount of blind faith you have in a large bureaucratic gov who repeatedly proves to not have your best interest in mind, and have no consequences even when caught, is astounding.

Honestly after the gross negligence fuckery displayed over the last couple years, no, covid vax is not the end of my suspicions and questions. Adapt to new information and change your approach, or keep your head shoved up your happy ass and continue trucking towards the proverbial cliff.

I was at a school board meeting where a black conservative spoke; some Woke white woman said, “that’s racist.” I shouted out, “I thought black people couldn’t be racist?!” Half the room clapped and cheered, the other half imploded and nailed the “toddler tantrum” vibe. Its like you can almost see the wires in their brain short circuiting and start to smoke. It was hilarious.

I concur with Pawnman and Hugo regarding legalities. But morally/ethically I think this leadership is being just as shitty as everyone above them still trying to shove a bullshit vax down people’s throats. Let it go and stop trying to force something useless (and harmful to some in the short term, unknown long term) on people who don’t want it. There is nothing logical about continuing down this road, especially at this point.

208 pages in - the answer is still “don’t do it!” and go enjoy a far better life in the ANG, airlines, insert-other-passion job, etc.

You already know this, but there is zero logical reasoning. People like Maj Dumbass referenced above are incapable of rational thought and lack all critical thinking capability. It amazes me how many “educated” Americans are in this boat.

Reading this started with a “wtf,” but grew to a “WTF!?!?!” when I got to the bottom of the article…

What an embarrassment for the human race. Glad that POS didn’t get on the city council.

And that reroute was a DH in the middle seat of the last row in a 73, only to canx the flight they DH’d to.

I bet the majority of dudes stay in the same airframe, except for maybe a stint at UPT. That should be the expectation. Switching of course happens, but don’t expect it/plan on it.

Military showing support for law enforcement is bad? Never mind the personal aspect of that particular patch. What a dickless cock-waffle.

Only have put 50 rds through the new Glock 10mm, so hard to say confidently, but I’d lean more towards .40 (snappier feel vs. slow and pronounced). I will say it’s been much better to shoot than I thought it would be. Of course that’s only with 180 FMJ, we’ll see how it is with the 220 hard cast I’ll be loading.

That’s gotta cut deep for all those WSOs out there!

Hopefully all the parents out there who think their kids are “safe from all that” because they’re in DOD schools see this…spoiler alert, your kids aren’t safe from all that bullshit.

During my senior year in ROTC, our NCOs fucked up the paperwork for ENJJPT - nobody went, even though 4 would have easily made it. All water under the bridge this many years later, but the point is they failed at a simple task and potentially caused career-altering impacts for some people. Such failure was completely acceptable to the officers running the show - great example to set for soon-to-be LTs.

Well, back to the 90s where I’m writing checks all the time.
