Are you writing this shit down, 17D?

While trying to log into Leaveweb just now, I received an error called a "GCSS-AF Failover". Sounds about right.

Dude that's probably one of the best Lt stories I've seen. That was the definition of 'going big'. And from a PA officer, no less. Well done!

Ha, that's great. Later on it talks about how the Program Manager for the one of the failed digital conversion projects was an English Lit major. By his own admission he didn't understand what the contractor was even doing.

Park it by the squadron. Best Squadron Bar ever!

Here's the problem Vertigo, the radical Muslims trying to establish a Caliphate aren't simply looking to be left alone to live life as they see fit. They want the rest of us, as varied and diverse as we are, to be assimilated completely into their way of life. If they had their way, the Islam police would be rolling down every street in the world enforcing their interpretation of the Koran. They're against multiculturalism more than anyone here.

So...are you saying someone did or did not put their hoohah in one of your orifices?

I propose a Foreign Exclusion Zone encompassing Syria, Iraq, Iran, Aghanistan, and Pakistan. It'll essentially be a regional cage match bounded by well armed countries that (more or less) have their shit together like Jordan, Israel, KSA, Oman, India, and the former USSR. No one is allowed in or out of the FEZ. Then the Shia, Sunnis, Kurds, Pashtuns, Persians, Pakistanis et al sort it out. Sykes-Picot is out the window and the belligerents redraw their own borders. The extremists want to start suicide bombing? It's up to the local populace to crush their nuts. Pakistan wants to nuke everyone? Go for it, it's on them. Once the new borders reach some sort of equilibrium and show they can behave like 20th century nations, they are welcome back into the global community.

GE noise=freedom, then.

I've been to a few veterans' cemeteries, including Arlington, and noted how uniform the headstones were regardless of rank or stature. Of course, Presidents or generals like Grant or Lee have bigger monuments, but the majority are intermixed with everyone else. Examples: https://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jjpersh.jpg https://img.groundspeak.com/waymarking/display/31054ea2-1cb4-43f8-b984-c95882ba061f.JPG https://image2.findagrave.com/photos250/photos/2001/222/arnoldhenry.jpg https://www.doolittleraider.com/images/DOOLITTLEJAMESH.jpg It was just an observation, and not a political one.

All the headstones at Arlington are the same size. Just saying.

And that's why you'll never be a general!

Has anyone at McGuire wondered out loud why the Travis guys aren't trying to go east anymore? That place sounds terrible.

This is valid. A torn ACL could keep a dude from serving, but I guess punch a hole in his eardrums and he's good to go. There's also no reason deaf guys couldn't just work as GSA/contractors.

Oh my, they changed his push line to MAJCOM staff, the horror. We are seriously retarded when we are still inserting secret push line code words into a referral OPR.

Why start now? The people still have a Middle Ages "oppress me" mentality.

At least you could wear your American flag patch during that hardship tour.

By including real estate prices in the index they've eliminated all of the places that the rest of the country actually want to live.

We'll never be able to kill every member of al Qaeda, why try at all? We'll never stop all the highway accidents, why even have a speed limit? We'll never win the championship this year, why bother playing any of the games? Not building a fence because "some will still get through" is a logical fallacy.

To summarize (from Wikipedia): 'The Peter Principle is a concept in management theory in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on their performance in their current role rather than on their abilities relevant to the intended role...The authors suggest that people will tend to be promoted until they reach their "position of incompetence".' 'Peter suggests that "n time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties" and that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence."' Yeah that's pretty much what's wrong with the Air Force. I've noted before that every leadership position in the Air Force above Sq/DO is filled by an inexperienced rookie. "Hey, you're great at this job, time to move on to a different one."

People change. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Maybe now we can finally get that "Home of the Fatty Pilot" sign at Travis.

I figure I'm safe unless the next CoS is a MAF guy. And that's coming from a MAF guy.

Geez if that dude locates the Virginia warehouse holding the rubber Afghan boats you can kiss your $8m goodbye.
