Rated vs. Non-rated officer (Benefits of rating and pros and cons)
Shooters can't be outsourced but just about anything else can. A guy in our squadron had a gig making 150+ flying a Kingair or Dash-8 around the AOR for a contractor.

Blues on Monday
So I'm assuming if he didn't get an excellent or a 100% on the closed book, he would give up his command? So, is a speeding ticket something you have to report to your CC? If so, this is the first I've heard of this.

More SARC briefings soon.
OMG mermaid handle beer mugs!!!! This will single handedly stop 6-9 rapes this year... This is hypocritical considering the military is cool with the USO bringing them over to the AOR for morale... 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?
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."

FAA orders 787 grounding until battery problem fixed
Eh, pretty standard "teething" issues with a new aircraft. I wouldn't be too worried about. Never fly the A-model of anything.

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. https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2012/1220/In-Texas-a-town-where-the-teachers-carry-guns-video Edit: found this link entertaining...standard if you're not LEO and own a gun your a gun crazy/ guns are bad, style article. https://www.cnn.com/2012/12/19/opinion/granderson-guns-in-schools/index.html

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.
