    This is hypocritical considering the military is cool with the USO bringing them over to the AOR for morale...

    USAF ALL MAJCOMS MORALE SQUASHED & REMOVED

    They forgot this one!

    These people have lost their minds! Soon, our thoughts will be monitored while at work, and anything remotely sexual will be censored, so you don't even think it. Also, from here on out, while in active service, sex will be allowed for procreation only and in the missionary position.

    Rumor - ORIs Ending?

    Any real emphasis on giving credit for real-world tasking when/where applicable to the mission set being evaluated...?

    This isn't the real world...it's the fake world of the IG.

    Kinda reminds me of a story from a Vietnam era book. The squadron had to do an ORI, in country, during the war and they failed. Guess who kept flying combat missions. One of the findings was the jets weren't painted IAW the reg (sharks teeth under the nose), the bosses response was "Noted."

    So would you support the government spending money to enact the proposals the NRA pitched? Obama's proposals included some of those very same things. Putting more "good guys with a gun" in schools takes money, plain and simple. Where do you stand? Or is it not worth the money?

    Is it really about the money (faux outrage at small-potatoes spending) or is it really that you just don't support the policies. Would you spend $500 million on effective gun safety/school safety/mental health policies you did support?

    Make a program similar to the FFDO program. If there is no $$$$ for a FFDO type program then there are tons of programs that teachers could attend at their cost...I'm certain there are plenty of people who would gladly do this. If the school can't afford full time security (which a majority can not, and our government certainly can't either) this is the best option. We already have teachers/admin carrying weapons in schools with no problems.

    Oregon, Texas officials warn White House against enforcing new gun regulations

    Read more: http://www.foxnews.c.../#ixzz2I9eMDiT5

    State officials in Oregon and Texas are vowing to fight back against any attempt by the federal government to impose new gun control laws.

    The warnings come as President Obama prepares to unveil a "comprehensive" plan to address gun violence, based on the recommendations from the Vice President Biden-led task force. The plan is expected to include a call for legislation to ban assault weapons as well as a variety of executive actions.

    But in Oregon, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller wrote a letter to Biden Monday saying his department will not enforce any new gun laws it considers unconstitutional.

    Mueller said politicians are "attempting to exploit the deaths of innocent victims" by supporting laws that would harm law-abiding Americans. The sheriff said he took an oath to support the Constitution, and laws preventing citizens from owning certain semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines would violate their rights.

    "We are Americans," Mueller wrote. "We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws."

    Meanwhile, 1200 WOAI reportsexternal-link.png that in Texas, Republican state Rep. Steve Toth plans to introduce a bill that would make it illegal to enforce in the state any federal laws restricting semi-automatic firearms or the size of gun magazines.

    Toth told 1200 WOAI that the bill would also call for felony charges to be brought against federal officials who attempt to enforce any such rules.

    "If a federal official comes into the state of Texas to enforce the federal executive order, that person is subject to criminal prosecution," Toth told 1200 WOAI.

    The warnings could be the first wave of state officials pushing back against Congress and the White House as they take up new gun control measures in the wake of the Connecticut mass shooting. Obama and others say new rules to at least limit the size of high-capacity magazines are overdue and could save lives.

    Mueller, though, told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Albany, Ore., that he felt compelled to make his views known because sheriffs have not had much of a say on the vice president's anti-gun violence task force. Mueller said his constituents have been repeatedly asking his deputies about what will happen if new gun restrictions are adopted.

    "We're restricted and prohibited from enforcing all types of federal laws, including immigration laws," he said Tuesday. "It would be unreasonable for anyone to think that I would enforce a federal firearms law."

    Mueller said some other sheriffs expressed support for his stance, but he does not know of any who have pledged to take similar action in regard to potential gun laws.

    Linn County is largely rural and politically conservative. Fewer than 40 percent of its registered voters supported President Barack Obama in November. Mueller said most households in the county have guns.

    Though the letter might add fuel to an already hot topic, Mueller said he wishes people could have a civilized discussion about the issue, rather than resort to threats and name-calling. He said he doesn't think the vice president is a bad person; he just doesn't like the path he appears to be on regarding gun laws.

    "We don't have to be jerks to each other over it," he said. "If old Joe wants to come out here to Linn County, we'd have a good conversation."

    The Associated Press contributed to his report.

    Is JMPS at least more user friendly?

    There is a special place in the bowels of hell for the designer of JMPS! But other than that...ya dude, it's great!

    There are lots of different deployment schemes out there...don't think you know how everybody rolls just because you guys might do 6s or whatever type of rotation you're on.

    So let me get this straight...not everyone in the Air Force deploys on the same cycle?!?

    So I fucked up and changed my theme from IP.Board to IP.Board (Pre 3.2). I can only post from my phone now and I can't seem to find the Change theme button in this format. Anyone have ideas for switching it back?

    God I can't wait to wear some BCGs at UPT haha

    If you're Guard, get your medical squadron to put you on the contact lense program ASAP. As long as you're on it before you show up, they will let you wear contacts. I was glad I did this, I hate flying with glasses.

    Blues on Monday

    I don't get why the AETC O-6 couldn't call the AMC O-6 right after they (AMC) issued the guidance to wear ABU/flight suits on Monday and get it "confirmed"...I mean, I may only be a mere Major, but that's what I would have done....instead, it's "well, no one called us, so the policy is still in effect". UFB. And if I read the email right, the lack of confirmation was coming from Randolph itself...so...could the MAJCOM commander somehow still be in the blind on this? A full week after it was rescinded? And after nearly every other MAJCOM has officially rescinded or changed their policies?

    Just mark the email as unread. Roll into work in a flight suit on Monday...claim ignorance.

    Better to beg for forgiveness then ask permission!
