I've looked into leaving quite often. Nobody has been cheaper overall with two vehicles/house/and rental property. I really really want to leave them but it hasn't made fiscal sense yet. I've had zero claims (knock on wood) since I started with them in 2006 while overseas.

Two days prior they released this.... https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2020/10/21/mishap-milestone-navy-and-marine-corps-have-zero-fatal-aviation-mishaps-in-fy-2020/#:~:text=The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps ended fiscal 2020 without,Naval Safety Center announced Monday.&text=That's down from a recent peak of 19 in fiscal 2017.

Are you volunteering as tribute to be the next casualty in a "mission" that has no objective other than to maintain a presence?

Clancy had it figured out decades ago

"Senior military officials have argued all year that a quick withdrawal from Afghanistan would effectively doom the peace deal reached in February with the Taliban." Do you think they honestly believe this "peace deal" is the real deal? That place is doomed.

Had bad wreck in high school Lots of windshield in knee and arm joints. You could feel it in there most days and then just randomly sitting around you'd look down and see a piece breaking the skin and would pop out.

HH60 Whiskey is a prime example of barely "good enough". Bringing USAF into the 20th century with PR capes.

This wasn't the run of the mill IFE. There was absolutely nothing a phone number was going to do in this situation to assist or help the crew or anyone else. These guys/gals were assholes and elbows troubleshooting and running multiple checklists. Just clear the airspace around them and leave em' be.

All crew safe. Tanker put it down in a field. Pretty amazing. Looks like possible single engine? Hard to fathom. https://news.usni.org/2020/09/29/marine-f-35b-crashes-after-collision-with-kc-130-over-california-all-aircrew-recovered-safely

Yes. In my flying career I have been briefed on multiple sister service safety investigations reports.

They are available through the safety channels.

Shaw F-16 report is out as well. Lots of lessons learned.

Longest ADSC for enlisted is 4 years but the way I read the reg, there is no ADSC for what he did.

2020 Base pay only.

I don't get it?

I don't know. Kind of got the hot in a "have dogs set upon you before blasting you with a ZSU" look
