You would think they could get a smoking deal. Probably a million total users all controlled mandatory payers with pretty much guaranteed payments.

It's already falling apart. They are going to tear their cities apart throughout this process. The leaders and task forces got everyone whipped up into a frenzy thinking they are getting millions and now they are saying it's going to go to city programs targeting their communities.

Always. In my experience, the ops world is MUCH better at rationally working GTC/Voucher issues. Ops world approving officials are more likely to have acutally been on same trip or have at least been TDY before. MX world, it's some crusty civilian who follows the letter of the law with no exceptions and the leadership support him/her everytime.

Never said it was a good card or deal for the govt. It is for the govt though so not sure you expect anything but garbage.

Yup, but it will never go away. It kicks back a shit ton of money to the bases. Damn the time/drama/waste associated with it.

You think he is fit to serve currently? How about in another year and a half? I'm pretty middle of the road on most stuff, couldn't vote for Trump in the last go around but if it was down to Trump/Biden in 24......I think I represent a giant chunk of the voting bloc as well.

Don't manipulate video/transcripts to suit your narrative. He has enough out there where you can truly see he is not fit to be leading. It's simple.

Have dealt with POTFF alot. Its a game changer. We had a MFLACC in house for a while too. She was the absolute best. Nothing on your records. I referred SO many folk her way and they all loved it. ALOT different than those we forced or nudged the official AF mental or substance abuse route. We had guys do the absolute right thing and get the help they needed only to be held up by miles of red tape and agencies not working with each other to get the person back in the saddle like they truly needed.

Yeah there is a difference like you said.

50 years ago BiffT was saying the same thing except it was in regards to Elvis Presley and the devil music.....

"Is that as high as it goes?"

I mean it's been 20 years since we've freed the fuck out of someone. Iran has potential. Fuck I forgot about Libya.

Yeah, zero chance anyone not a flyer themselves knows the difference in wings. Hell, I'd bet a lot of enlisted fliers couldn't point out the differences. Worked for an enlisted Ops sup at one point in career who decreed no flier would go to a base appt in their bag, we would be in ABUs only. "They don't respect the flight suit, they respect the wings". Laughter ensued.

Agreed. Awareness keeps it at bay though.

Conduct PRIOR to taking command. Written poorly.

Active duty experience only. Crew chief schedule will flex with flying window, surges, exercises, TDY, and deployments. Could be weekday shifts 8 hours, could be rotating shifts of 12 hours. Could be just straight 12 hour shifts until shit is fixed. Every location will be different depending on the mission. Bottom line, if you're goal is to become a fighter pilot, you'll find the time. My crew chief school was around 6 months of actual school. Who knows what it is now though.

Switched to straight cash back as well. 2% from citibank. Amex caught up to my retirement about a year or so after.

There is plenty of time, it's just a matter of what you want to sacrifice to get it done. I wouldn't recommend it in the slightest but....Depends on the school too, crew chief school I could have gone through blind, deaf, and stupid 🙂

I know on active duty you won't be able to go to school on the air force dime until you get to your first base and I can't imagine the guard would pick up college tuition while you're supposed to be going to tech school but I don't know. As far as practicality, its very possible but you would be essentially going to a full time job from about 0600-1600'ish every day depending on the job you're in school for. Would take a pretty dedicated individual to do both but possible.

Go ahead and take a knee, drink some water, and maybe a change of socks.

All valid points. Was just thinking out loud.

What does being inclusive mean to you though? Don't you just hire the most qualified candidate? I think there is very real pressure to give more points to candidates that might not be the MOST qualified in the pool.

It's fucking nuts to think what those dudes and kids went through going through those "tunnels" in the pitch dark with raging currents.
