1st Pfizer shot down. Arm is a little sore, no other effects. Dreaming that Bill Gates is the president is totally normal, right?

Good to see we've learned our lesson in the last 10 years. How long until CSAF is testifying about a pilot shortage to Congress again?

Starting with 11Rs?

And she was on the back half of this command tour already. I know there were a lot of MX folks who weren't thrilled with her leadership...but then, few in the maintenance field are happy with their jobs, their leadership, or their quality of life...so I'm not sure what she did that was so far outside the norms. Do you have any more info about the IG? I was there for the last three years of my tour at Dyess, but left last summer. The new IG who came in last summer was a good dude that I've known for a long time, and the director of complaints has been there for something like 18 years.

Dyess only seems like hell in summer. And I managed to escape.

I can remember when my mom thought I was going to hell for listening to Marilyn Manson in high school. Glad we're over the "satanic panic" as a society...🙄

I wouldn't put all my eggs in the vitamin D basket. There's something else that those developing nations have that the US and Europe don't have - a sub-50% obesity rate. Covid-19 is vastly more dangerous to people who are overweight/obese than to people at a healthy weight. https://www.obesityaction.org/community/covid-19-and-obesity-what-does-it-mean-for-you/

Usually they aren't the only member of the faith. We call that mental illness. Or sometimes, in small numbers, a cult.

Isn't this like saying athletic scholarships are biased because high schools with well-funded athletic programs tend to be in richer areas, so poor kids don't have the same access to weight rooms, facilities, trainers, etc? If we want to target results, seems like a PPL is a clear indicator that someone can succeed in learning to fly an aircraft. Hell...if we want to argue along racial lines, requiring a degree is hampering the ability of minorities to succeed if you look at the statistics...rich people send their kids to universities more often than poor people. Enlisted aviator program? Waivers for degrees if you fit into a "diverse" background?

Well, it's not like a lot of people are listening to experts anyway. Fauci said schools should be the last things to close and first things to open, and the CDC recently announced that 3 feet away was good enough, no need for 6 feet of separation for anyone under 18. Yet schools in NYC and LA are still closed. Follow the science indeed.

It's the same defense Fox News used.

Hope they're going to crank up the capacity to make them if that's the case. I've been on the list to get one since December and still waiting for my servicing MTF to get enough for me to get vaccinated.

I definitely would have told my people to work from home on the first Monday of the month when I was in the IG office.

I think you might be late to the party...this has been common for RATM for 30 years.

I don't know about the 60s...but it does feel like we've lost a lot of ground since the 90s.

Yep. She insulted him on Instagram and he blocked her...and now the opponent is trying to spin it as him becoming "paranoid" and "hostile." Unless there's a better smoking gun than these screen shots, sure seems like he was polite, respectful, and unyielding in trying to extract this woman from his life.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. I'm just saying that the failure of women to complete this specific test doesn't mean they are somehow lesser or ineffective in combat roles, that the test itself is brand-new, and that many men will bitch and complain that fitness tests don't truly measure combat capability...until you start including women. But if women struggle more than men, that some test that "doesn't measure combat capability" is suddenly evidence that women don't belong in combat. As if they haven't been there for years.

For a brand-new test that's still in the "data-gathering" phase of implementation.

You do know we fly training lines at home station, right?

Judging by how people here react to the idea of not wearing flight suits on staff tours, having callsigns taken away, or reaching way back, blues on Mondays...yes.

Do you think that morale, comfort, and belonging are unimportant? The money spent on this was saved by a single B-1 MX CANX.

So...do you want to go back to the days when the flight suit was utility only, and you must wear a different uniform in the office?

It's certainly a weird way of phrasing it...isn't everyone in the right year group "eligible" for promotion at every board?

Did he say we need to boot pregnant women out of the military? If he did I didn't catch it. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't USAF women flyers DNIF after their first trimester? If that's the case why do we need these maternity flight suits? If not do we need maternity g suits? What would happen to the baby during an ejection? So, by that logic, every DNIF dude should be coming to work in OCPs or blues as well, right? Also, I think you're behind the times...first trimester isn't an automatic cutoff point anymore. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1968299/air-force-reduces-barriers-for-pregnant-aviators/ Being in the AF a long time I've never seen a pregnant airman treated as you stated. My experience is seeing them handled with kid gloves. Good for you. Tucker didn't handle them that way, and leadership responded, rightfully so. Agreed, because a whole lot of people seem to think the First Amendment means the military is required to play Tucker's show every day on military bases.
