  1. Wrong, inaction is bad choice. There exists a better choices for the non-supporters. Just as voting is a choice made heard or active participation....those who don't vote for a candidate can make heard their "nay-votes" heard by speaking out against the candidate or funding the opposition. Sitting back and just not voting for the person isn't a good solution....action, not inaction is necessary from both sides. edit: grammar
  2. This will catch like an Arizone wildfire, RPA operators heads up! Someone will probably get an AFSO 21 bullet too...it's all about timing and climate, a fiscally limited climate.
  3. About time...common sense prevails. A couple of years ago I heard a missilier say he was getting a checkride. After barfing and I gathered composure and asked him what the hell he was talking about, wasn't impressed with his answer.
  4. The "kick [santorum] in the jimmy" clip.
  5. Yes, I've used pre-paid sim cards from several countries on my unlocked iPhone 3GS. I didn't use data service, but not carrying around two phones while TDY (mostly OST) and having a phone w/ WiFi was great.
  6. Grind, too soon.... jk, who can't laugh at themselves.

    SCRA doesn't cover it if you know you're leaving sooner than you tell them. If you literally don't know (ie orders aren't published yet) then you could get away with it. But the landlord could have a legal case against you if they ask for orders and the publish date is before you signed the lease. Just ask for shorter lease, most every place will cooperate for military. If not, Tough Nut or Enclave (if it's foundations are holding) do 6 month leases.

    I'm waiting on a W-2c for 2010 and Oct 2010 CZTE to be added...g'luck w/ your case...

    Pretty sure they mentioned a standard login time for the e-SOS and still reading all of the assigned readings....
  13. No....one star on each lapel = two........duh!
  14. The internet is too slow in Germany...and transferring the files to a hard drive w/ all the network rules and special clearances makes is worth using the CD here.
  15. You know they have the NGA FLIP data for iPad Phaero app on CDs which are (or can be) sent to units every FLIP cycle right? Then the trick is sharing/finding the CD...damn OSA guys....

    A previous AW/CC said he separates 0-4 DP, P, and DNPs in several iterations via filtering and stacking. The first filter = AAD & PME complete (which makes four stacks: has both, one, other, or neither) The second filter = PME complete w/ Bachelor's + and so on....couldn't believe it was that cut and dry for him. I think strat's matter more when you're going for 0-5 and up when the 0-4 promotion rate is like 90%.
  17. According to Google Translate, yes
  18. All they are doing is making long term, far-from-arrival reservations for students; that's not illegal. The studs can refuse quarters there, unless there is a force protection/anti-terrorism issue which the CC directs them to stay on-base. That way the reservation was done, studs must decline quarters to get into your PIT pad, and then studs are only reimbursed up to the on-base lodging rate. It limits the cost liability of the USAF. That's not illegal. The CC directing everyone to stay on-base no matter what is a shade of gray. That's is covered neither in AFI 34-246 (Lodging) nor in the JFTR, perhaps try the AFI 36-series (personnel). AFI 65-103 (TDY Orders) covers some non-uses of government quarters but not your situation. What you're doing is not illegal unless you're double charging guys for the same room or not following the long-term procurement of lodging conditions while TDY (reference JFTR Chapter 4) and the studs are claiming it; that's embezzlement.
  19. Four Fans of Freedom = Quattuor Fans Libertatis Jet Noise, the Sound of Freedom = Scatebra sonitus, sonus libertatis
  20. "Aerospacyber Airman"
  21. "We RIF you - a lot" or perhaps just a picture instead...
  22. ADSC ends around 2017...after start of airline hiring...military TAC flying is where it's at though...so much fun in a Herk.

    Of course if the the class had signed it'd carry even more weight, but who would be the second person to sign if the author isn't willing to sign it?

    I agree, he was too timid. He was the type who doesn't want to be seen as playing that game, but plays it. He had some great insights, big-picture perspectives, and honestly led a group through a tough spot. The letter would have more impact if he revealed himself but don't hold your breath.... (edit: grammar)
