  1. Personally I wait until comfort+ to board under that perk, and only once in all these years have I actually been questioned for ID, and at that the GA was annoyed I didn’t board the millisecond she called for mil…yeah OK lady.
  2. That’s in direct contradiction to what Sua posted. Now that I’ve read that, I’d go ask finance to prove in writing why fill-in-the-blank type of orders BAH location is contradictory to those official sources. Maybe they have some exemption somewhere, but I’d at least want eyes on. Too many times I’ve seen Finance, TMO, etc. be confidently wrong.
  3. If college was what it SHOULD be, I’d encourage my kids to go. But good luck getting college, or even public primary school, to be what it SHOULD be by any means short of “burning the system to the ground and rebuilding from the ashes.” The dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with are college grads and many of my non-degree friends and acquaintances are very smart and capable people. On the whole in my experience, I interact with more dumbasses with degrees than I do without degrees. That’s a sad reality and not what I want, but it is reality.
  4. College is horse shit - I will actively discourage my kids from going unless they have a specific career goal that actually requires a degree. Quite the opposite mindset from when I was a kid.
  5. Always hilarious in an infuriating way to watch leftist spout progressive bullshit and socialism this and that, then leave the meeting in their BMW M3, $100k vette, the 17 yr old “expert on life” driving away in her Range Rover going home to her parent’s $2M house. Funny how 99.9% of the ones arguing for this bullshit are well off white people (predominantly women).
  6. Details matter, that’s the lesson here!
  7. They’re classic progressives - hypocritical shitbags. Unilever is no better.
  8. I would love for the GOP primaries to come down to deciding between Paul and Desantis - that would actually be different than the usual turd sandwich vs. douche choice.
  9. True, fuck those guys! Haven’t given them a cent for 6 years.
  10. Obviously in ICN, fell for the age old lie of “we’ll just grab one kettle and then head back to the hotel.”
  11. Tell me how you have zero SA without saying you have zero SA.
  12. We’re kicking out the wrong people, while letting in the wrong people - sounds about right.
  13. @Sua Sponte @SocialD Thanks guys, you rock! My google skills clearly failed Sua, so I'll take a shot or two of 18 yo scotch as a "punishment." Like I said, phenomenally better help amongst the bros than your standard shoe clerk.
  14. @Smokin@SocialD Do you guys have any AFI/DODI references for the BAH zipcode thing? About to have some T32 orders written, but they're not sure if they should put the unit address or my home address on the orders (significant variation in BAH/different states). I want to make sure I'm not getting screwed out of the higher BAH (unit zipcode), but also do not want to erroneously get the unit zipcode rate for 6-9 months, just to get audited and owe the govt a bunch of money. Per usual, I'll probably get more accurate data here than from the finance office. Thanks guys!
  15. I hope they're that clever, and this move (and moves like it) accomplish that end state. But the skeptic in me says this wasn't some epic play by the GOP, and at best they just got lucky. The other question is IF Trump is pushed aside and doesn't make it as the nominee, does Trump's hardcore base still get out and vote? I hope they're paying attention enough to know voting is crucial, even if it's for DeSantis and not Trump (for example), and not voting is the epitome of cutting off the nose to spite the face. But again, I'm not so confident in them doing the correct, unemotional thing.
  16. How does this happen - so many means to validate you’re at the correct airport and runway. But I guess they’ll have a juicy TMAAT/lesson learned story ready to go for their airline interviews!
  17. That’s exactly where they fit in the modern and near future world. I think we need the general capability for things like a kinetic NEO in some 3rd world shithole. But the Marines will do none of their doctrine in the peer fights for many weeks, if not months. And by the time we MAYBE execute somewhat along their doctrine, it won’t be in a situation where F-35s or similar tech is even remotely required, or even decently suited, to achieve the desired end state. @Majestik Møøse Absolutely we’re at the “it is what it is” phase, but that doesn’t change the fact this was an epic acquisitions failure made by people who don’t know shit except for how to line their’s and their friend’s pockets to the max.
  18. No, the dem establishment is significantly outcompeting the GOP establishment. All self-centered POS, sure, but the GOP is epically failing at the game relative to the dems.
  19. Or tulsi for that matter. Though I think he was specifically referring to the GOP establishment, who did showcase an inability to stop trump in the 2016 primaries.
  20. I have to wonder how much of things like this are weighted towards he’s a lying POS and weighted towards his mental deterioration/constant level of confusion. Obviously neither is a good thing for a president.

    “Asked how a roomful of fighter pilots would assign such a name at a time when military members are supposed to have been warned about inappropriate sexual behaviour, Huddleston said he was at a loss.” You’ve never been to a Vegas naming that started 8 hrs after the first beer was cracked in the pool that morning?
  22. Agreed they hate America, but this also isn’t an event I expect (or want) politicians to officially comment on. Maybe local level in a condolences way, at most.
  23. DAL has updated “12 months” to “2 years” for AD and ARC. If you have orders ending < 2.5 years, you’d be crazy not to have an app in!
