  1. I cannot see base commanders being O-5s in the USAF. That would eliminate FSS/MSG O-6 billets. But I guess it could work somehow. I had a US Army Infantry Company as my Security Forces at CADJ. I definitely agree with your sentiment—they were squared away (at least the team I got) and any/all issues were handled swiftly. What we will need is to develop our officers to take that on. Flight Command will need to be a no kidding command with a big change to how discipline is run. It’s going to be an interesting couple of years! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. To any of the old heads out there… we’ve done the “no groups” thing before and have arrived at the present structure for reasons. While this missive addresses organizational change histories it uses relatively bland terms. Off hand I can reason that it will be difficult for a single wing commander to deal with discipline issues as well as there being difficulty being an operational war fighting wing dealing with a base commander who may or may not be in your chain. Anybody out there care to comment? https://usafunithistory.com/usaf-structure-and-lineage-history.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Try emailing the CARF they should at least be able to point you in the direction of a POC. Possibly could help out the formation in an ALTRV for the event. https://www.fly.faa.gov/carf/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    He nails what I would call country meets the blues. Very talented. Tennessee Whiskey is my fav from him and his voice is very reminiscent to SRV. Speaking of SRV if you haven’t seen this you should. SRV and Albert King from the vault 1983 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Yes, Wurster signed that off I believe. It’s the only time I’ve seen that. He actually told the Wing in person IIRC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Agreed. He’s pretty talented Clapton approves. Buddy Guy is still around touring at 87… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It must be being in my 40s or something, or I was just sick of playing the same old music (average guitarist here) but I’ve been doing a deep dive of the blues. Started when Jeff Beck passed on, led to discovering Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa (among many others) Lots of good blues artists out there besides the standard names and besides these two but here’s some of their best together.

  8. It’s a careful dance…how to respond properly without escalating vertically or horoztonally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. They also produce 80% of solar panels, 40% of all wind turbines and 90% of all rare earth elements used in EV production. North American EV production is est at 1.4M in 2028, China produced 3.3M in 2020. Source: Kevin Rudd, The Avoidable War Chinese Teslas are being sold in Canada. BL: China is profiting from global desires to reduce Climate Change while occupying the distinct advantage of a country whose own economic rise has been on the back of the environment Green Energy consumers are looking to help.

  10. Right, actually Xi’s axe to grind is “The Century of Humiliation,” starting with the first of the opium wars. Whether or not they have a right to China is not really the question—it represents where Chang Kai-Shek led the Nationalists after their defeat in their Civil War on the mainland. I’m sure you know all of that based on your experience but it seems to be a driving factor for Xi to remain in power especially if the economy goes down the crapper.

  11. Agreed, and if this is what China is saying publicly then imagine how bad it ACTUALLY is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. If you’re looking to delve into the topic or international relations Peter Zaihan is pretty good. He takes a topic and distills it down in about 10 minutes or so in a way that doesn’t confuse me or make me feel stupid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. This is a great take on changing world orders…. There’s also a 5 min version. While I would hope that being open globally to trade would prevent us from conflict Mearsheimer has pointed out that this did not factor into WWI. The only problem I see is that China’s continued rise is not certain, what they do release is troubling and it is on this basis that I presume things are worse than they seem especially with them filling their missiles with water over fuel.
