  1. That's like a 1,000% VA disability - yeah?! PTSD, tinnitus, belly flop trauma...the list would be huge!
  2. The FF team is SO responsive to change, it's delightful. I asked for the Hazard Advisor corridors to be selected by typical MSA/ESA/MRAA widths, as well as by custom-number. It was done in like ~2 months and it is magnificent. There were a few other requests fulfilled too. In my experience ask and they will deliver. https://support.foreflight.com/hc/en-us/articles/6478756539159-ForeFlight-Military-Flight-Bag-Guide
  3. Crazy part is DoD, before BRS, had and has TSP matching which could compliment the Defined Benefit for Retired Reserve...and they choose not to use it...imagine the immediate retention bump for those members stuck under High 36/Final Pay/CSP-REDUX. That's some extra 'green'. BRS already gets this... Break, break: Demand 11 I like
  4. Austin is worth 3 days
  5. What!?? Know the difference between political support of a bill and Presidential veto. A veto is of a bill that sit in front of THE President, as in current one, after both houses of Congress, not one. Define Presidential veto in your universe. In ours, simply: OR 'veto allows the President to “check” the legislature by reviewing acts passed by Congress and blocking measures he finds unconstitutional, unjust, or unwise. Congress's power to override the President's veto forms a “balance” between the branches on the lawmaking power.' https://www.archives.gov/legislative/resources/education/veto
  6. Those with retirement orders got the email, at least near me.

  8. The paradox is there can be no service without self. People are advocating for balance between service and self. It's a value proposition. And obviously the Services' haven't found an equilibrium with volunteers. The individual, the self, is the basis upon which service made. So, @General Chang @BashiChuni how do define yourselves? What do you value? Especially if what you value and what you do defines yourself, please answer. Is it family? Self autonomy? Ameanable living conditions? What balance, if any, do you require for their to be a self to serve?
  9. Guess my understanding is off by a few years, because wasn't the patch chiseled in stone? Like 865 B.C. (and not back course)!?😝 But seriously: mad respect @HuggyU2
  10. I mis-drilled the wrong hole once, it cost a lot. Don't recommend it.
  11. They want em' back!
  12. The most airline profit/$ is in the mileage programs. Colors of 'money' and a means to seperate operations risk from $....points/SkyMiles/Avios/whatever. Pretty clever litigation and profit management risk-serverance if you ask me. Pts = $ with mostly data management risk, not operations. They sit on your points (aka $) for you, collecting interest as well as deflate their value.
  13. Reminds me of something like this seen a LONG time ago as a patch...
  14. But did she, really? The crown will come with unforseen, royal baggage regardless of who she is as a person, for starters lots of TDY/PTDY for AF Recruiting Service. Time will tell.
  15. This checks true. I grew up there.
  16. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/did-you-know-a-man-bought-all-the-spare-b-2-windshields-and-used-them-in-his-daughters-tree-house-the-usaf-had-to-buy-them-back-to-replace-a-damaged-spirit-windshield/ Wonder what the Ops-Mx mtg slides said? Parts plus 1 tree house disassembly and 1x blank check?
  17. Double or triple, back-to-back command is new norm for Mx, LRS, and SF. I could see the CSOs taking over this 'tradition' as pilot exodus deepens. Eventually there will not be staff positions to cut during this stated rated staff crisis. Just wait and watch for all CC boards to be mandatory all-in...it's trending that way.
  18. That's the DTS subsidized price, not true cost. All national, commercial pax airlines are subsidized, some smaller carriers and routes by the Essential Air Service subsidy. Prices are further negotiatied down in the City Pair Program which benefit greatly from said subsidies in that negotiation, so DTS flights are cheaper. How to estimate, then add that cost to your ticket...I have no idea, but it's real expense is much greater. https://www.gsa.gov/plan-book/transportation-airfare-pov-etc/airfare-rates-city-pair-program
  19. I know an O-5 Detco was told do correspondence SDE and get O-6. Several thought no way, person isn’t traditional CC. That person completed SDE and it happened, a high O-6 line # as DETCO, but all without prior DO or Exec experience. Second case: this person wasn't even a DETCO and had no prior CC or DO..made O-6 from a small WG staff job, immediately PCS'd to D.C. non-CC gig.
  20. Is the Ryan Air experience like using a boat-cruise app? Pay for drink package, boarding, excursion, gambling...but on an 'air' not seapass? ...yeesh, what's next mandatory gratuities!?
  21. Lets get absurd! And CA-exit taxes hit a new high! Or potetionally-moving-to-CA taxes levied on all the USA payers....as well as unrealized gains taxes, then later really, really early unrealized, in the womb, taxes are levied. Then the definition of when is a person a person is determined through litigation not for abortion, but for unrealized taxes or potential earnings! (...basically who's paying?...as mass exodus of CA is already underway post C-19 bafoonery)
  22. Sooo...what's posting a pictures comparison supposed to infer? Guess in what difference(s) can be seen? So then Badges? Hair? Deltas? Earings? Makeup? How many flags' stars are showing? Tie vs tie tab? Color of flag stipe closet to ear? Neck shadowing? ...it's like a not so subtle, politically motivated, one of these pictures is not like the other game. Or is it a trick and the change is/was internal!? And was it really the rank that changed that person??? More likely that person's response to external stimuli. Rank shouldn't drastically change a person. Subtle changes I'd agree with, but drastic changes because of new rank perhaps mean the rank went to the wrong person. Begs the debatable question of does a person make rank or rank make a person?
  23. So what your saying is, there might be a bunch of six-fingered TDY-babies running amuk!?! Won't need Ancestory.com to trace that lineage because @RASH , @Lord Ratner, & @Biff_T are implicated when those six-fingered kiddos are blurting-out 'dibs' during hopefully hilarious, liquefied rants on kid-TDYs of their own! ...all hyperbole
  24. "There was no single incident on any social media site which prompted us to seek outside assistance, but rather the toxic tendencies..."
