Gotta make room for the democratic voters
I think Dems will be very disappointed when they find out these illegals are deeply religious and hate the LGBTQ+ agenda.

"Deputy Chief Information Officer for C3 at DoD"
ETA: You'd think a CIO would know better than to leave an incriminating electronic paper trail leading directly to a guilty verdict.
So... there's a job opening?

I have nothing significant to contribute more than I already have on other threads regarding this degenerate POS, but I love this thread! Good riddance indeed, should have resigned 2 years ago if he wasn’t such a self serving douche. He is everything that is wrong with the military, specifically the Army.
Not a huge fan of CQ’s DEI initiatives but he’ll be heaps and bounds better than this sack of uselessness.
I wonder if he'll be as invisible in the CJCS job as he was in the CSAF job.

A normal set of orders is usually 36 months, and extending a year can be common. My between-the-lines interpretation is that this rule ensures a pilot doesn’t go career enhancing and decide to never go back to flying, or an aviation related billet, while being able to collect flight pay forever.
I always thought that was the whole point of continuous flight pay.
Would have been nice if this had ever been brought up at any point before I left the flying community.

Seen it, checks. The CEA pumpkin timer! Don't go enhancing yourself for more than 48 months at the expense of a thinner pocketbook.
So...the gate months and continuous flight pay are meaningless is what I'm hearing.

Not exactly related to the bonus, but to flight pay...my counterpart here in the office got an email from the local HARM shop that aviators in "Career Enhancing Assignments" (basically, any non-flying job that isn't coded specifically for a rated officer) would have flight pay terminated after 48 months, regardless of how many gate months you had. The guy referenced AFMAN 11-421 and said it over-rode AFMAN 11-402.
This seems counter to the entire idea of meeting gate months to get continuous flight pay.
Anyone else heard about this?

Word on the street is the Barnes Sq/CC was fired for letting one of his dudes do this. It was back in May, but I haven’t read any press releases about it. Anyone else hear the same?
Maybe we're just super conservative now, but that looked like a pretty normal airshow profile from the ones I was at a decade ago.

Now we start with racist comments. Lovely. Diversity is the way of the future, you pansy. You people need to get on-board with the new Air Force, or get flippin’ lost now.
As a straight white guy, I'm prepared to accept a TERA offer to make room for a more diverse officer.

Better than loosing everyone in those towns and then slowly losing those towns.
So, which American cities are you willing to give up again?
If these are losses, I'll take it over the constant "winning" we did in Iraq and Afghanistan...

I laughed a bit at the “top 60% of the top third” line. Admittedly I’m a product of public school and OTS but my math equates that to about the top 20% of total. Which I thought was where we were at already…
I thought the point was that the upper, upper echelon got to go to sister service schools for that sweet "joint" experience. Now they want to push those guys back into Air Force schools.
I have a feeling it's just going to result in more declinations until the bottom 50% are the ones at Maxwell.

You missed the point, which isn't surprising. I'll try once more and see if you can stay on target: in the USA the opinion of the people is supposed to impact government policy. Polls show the people do not support further escalation in Ukraine. Question: Do you think we should continue supporting the war despite our population mostly opposing it?
Yes yes, Russia bad, got it. I don't want a moral lecture, I'm curious if you think we should be doing things that get us closer to an actual war when the population doesn't want it. Please be smarter than implying we're just giving them weapons.... there's literally a post on the last page about how close the UK came to exchanging blows, which would drag us in. Don't even reply if you can't control your emotions enough to engage maturely.
In your mind, is there a difference between keeping the current level of support and escalation?

Progressives being progressives…
They care more about keeping parents from knowing if their young children don’t know what pronouns to use vs allowing Americans to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.
At least some members of the government still have a spine.

yeah, they totally deserve it in that case.....
It's not about deserving it. It's about creating the circumstances that make it easier to be victimized.
I hope the chief of police puts this case on the back burner.

NM Governor bans legal carrying of weapons to prevent criminals from committing illegal shootings. Of course she herself enjoys armed protective guards, but you aren't allowed the same privileges. The order cites Gun violence as a public health emergency, and is only for 30 days to flatten to curve.
Can't make this up, democrats are the party of tyrants.
I don't see that one standing up in the Supreme Court.

With IDE complete and no skeletons, you should make O-5 no problem.
About that..
Although hopefully it's gotten better with the competitive categories.

Cuba has resisted us well after the USSR fell. Like them or not (I don't) they've earned it.
and I'm not saying it's "fine" that Russia invaded, I'm saying there's a limit to how much I'm willing to help the Ukrainians. A financial limit but certainly I'm unwilling to send my son to die there (which is not unthinkable). Sure sovereignty matters, but why is the US always doing heavy lifting while making ourselves broke?
this is more nuanced than your characterization implies, and that's what's frustrating about this (and many) political debates nowadays.
Resisted...what? Some sanctions? Pretty sure we haven't tried an armed invasion since the 60s.
