The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
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.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
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.- The Next President is...
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.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

What an embarrassment for the human race. Glad that POS didn’t get on the city council.- The new airline thread
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.- Switching Airframes
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.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
Military showing support for law enforcement is bad? Never mind the personal aspect of that particular patch. What a dickless cock-waffle.- Gun Talk
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.- Lighten Up Francis!
That’s gotta cut deep for all those WSOs out there!- Today in hypocrisy...
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.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
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.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- The new airline thread
I think cargo has done this for a long time. Some pax airlines have been buying seats for commuters due to COVID-related bullshit. But, TBD whether this goes away/stays away after LOAs expire, or if we’ve done this for so long that it’ll be incorporated into future contracts as the “new industry standard.” Wide variation of opinions on that part. Prior to all this, commuters could fly stand by in the back, but full flights drive JS necessity.- COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
They learned, corrected course, and admitted their mistakes. Too many people in our country have done none of those.- Commanders are dropping like flies this year
Holy shit - that is an incredible shock…if true. I hope it’s bullshit.- COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
The UK has banned Covid vax for 12 and under, because they actually use logic and follow science. But yeah, you’re correct progressive white couple living in a million $ house, you do know better than an entire country’s scientific and medical community. Yay Bernie!- The new airline thread
ATL is like the active duty…avoid that place as much as possible!- HH-60 Career Prospects
Didn’t know that; well he could still get a commercial/instrument (albeit for RW), still should knock that out.- HH-60 Career Prospects
When you finish UPT, make sure you get your mil comp certs with the FAA (commercial, instrument, multi); you’ll need at least the first two to realistically get a civ flying job that’s more than towing banners.- HH-60 Career Prospects
It’s the guard, you should have a civ career plan regardless of airframe or location. Start the expectation now that you will only be part time after seasoning ends (don’t know how long that is at your unit, but it’s probably a lot shorter than you’d like). If long term orders pop up, then be pleasantly surprised, but no way you should count on that. In a nutshell, that’s the realistic expectation you should have right now.- The new airline thread
Even his own CO allows business casual…but not surprised he didn’t know that. Douches exist everywhere.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
