2023 Active Duty Flying Training Board
AFROTC is holding onto their rated board results pending some decision at HAF/A1. But ENJJPT is already really backed up (ROTC cadets are being told they'll wait a year to go active duty, then upwards of another year casual before they even start UPT). Word on the street is that we don't have the capacity to train the people already in the pipeline, so we're giving out fewer pilot slots. Which seems counter- productive when you have a pilot shortage... but I don't work in A1.

The trans activists are much more active than the amputee activists. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/07/9923894/jesse-hammons-maryland-hospital-transgender-hysterectomy-lawsuit

Bingo. Likely would have been a lawsuit if the surgeon tried to decline the surgery.

Starts that way. But then you have to practice it before you do it in wartime. Then the practice becomes a currency. Then it just becomes standard operating procedure to make the pilot shortage seem less severe.- Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Q&A
Contributions came out of the Nov 1 paycheck as per usual. Get it updated and they'll come out on Dec 1st too.- China & Chinese Shenanigans

Boycotting is interfering in democracy? Funny, Republicans used to be fans of "if you don't like it, don't work there/ buy their product/ live in the state".- The Next President is...
True. And Fetterman at least had the sense not to answer questions. https://youtu.be/190uuWm9zUY- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
How is supplying drones to an occupied country interfering in democracy? Do you think it's interfering when people donate to disaster relief?- The Next President is...
I agree on Dr. Oz, but hell, his opponent is a guy who can't put a sentence together and looks like an extra from Sons of Anarchy.- Lighten Up Francis!

Somehow they'll manage to clean it all up for the 2028 Olympics, I have no doubt.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
If they work for a company that requires vaccines, that's not a government mandate. Same for hospitals - that's not a law, it's a hospital policy.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
Ordinary citizens aren't mandated to get the vaccine.- Today in hypocrisy...
We tried that. Democrats called Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy racist.- Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Q&A
I already use TurboTax, so having it where they can pull it into my tac forms just makes it easier. My TSP disconnected a while ago and I was unable to get it reconnected to Mint. I haven't tried since the new TSP site rolled out.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
What do you do to ensure the safety of all the drugs and food in your house? I'm guessing you also depend on this bureaucracy.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
Would love to see the lab you have setup in your garage to do independent food and drug safety testing. Sounds exhausting.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
You're questioning big pharma AND the FDA. Which makes me ask again... is it only the covid vaccines you're suspicious of, or do you do a deep dive on every person who ever had a reaction to ibuprofen when the flight doc gives you Motrin? And I'm providing the guidance laid out by SECDEF...get vaccinated, or get out of the program.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
So, do you have the same suspicion for every new drug on the market?- Russian Ukraine shenanigans

Imagine thinking every off-hand comment from POTUS (especially our current POTUS) is the same as official DoD guidance. And only the experimental vaccines...so the fully-approved ones would be good to go? Turns out Pfizer has one... - KC-46A Info
