DoD "ready" for DADT repeal
So just offer 10 days of 'marriage leave' or 'honeymoon leave' to anybody that gets married, regardless of orientation. I'm sure there are lots of hetero couples that would like to travel home for their weddings to be married in the presence of friends and family. After all, if we're striving for equality, shouldn't the rules apply to everyone?

Were those the options you were hoping for? I didn't know all those were open to nav's.- Stop Loss Cometh
So, what's the fix? Stop loss? Recall previous fighter guys from RPA's, white jet, ALO, etc? Send former T38 studs from the 'cockpit shortage' years to IFF? Increase UPT throughput? Continuation incentives?- Gun Talk
Decent sale at PSA if anyone is in the market. If you subtract the price of the included optic, that's less than $600 for an AR.- T-38 Crash Sheppard AFB (Pilots Ejected Safely)
A few years late indeed. To Littler and Funk. :beer:- 15 year retirements on the table
Probably a continuation of If I remember the details right, NDAA authorized the services to offer it as late as 2018 at their discretion.- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Yes, just scroll up 6 posts.- Saddle up for Syria? Or Op Deny Christmas '13
Gen Dempsey outlines options for Syria. Here are the possible options as listed in the article:- Opinions on C-17 v KC-10 (as well as bases?)
Perhaps picking by location could be considered shortsighted, but picking something that has all good locations isn't a bad plan. Also, the mission you think you want out of UPT could be very different than the one you love (or are interested in doing) a few years afterward.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Glad to hear they're both OK. Also glad to hear nobody on the ground was hurt.- EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program)
It all starts with the PCM recommendation, which is obviously much easier to do with an on-base pediatrician. Militaryonesource is a good place to start reading and learning.- Herk hard landing - Afghanistan
Really? Explosives? I can't believe they did this for a non-expedient relocation. Did they not realize that bolts can be removed with wrenches? Or at worst case, saws? This seems like really needless destruction, or perhaps somebody just wanted to have fun.- EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program)
Good read. Thanks. Whomever wrote this policy is obviously trying to apply occupational therapy standards to Autism. It doesn't work that way. Hopefully they revoke this quickly or congress gets involved.- Israel vs. Hamas, v.69

I'd be interested in your thoughts regarding S&W 357 vs the Ruger. Leaning toward the Ruger for my next buy, but on the fence.- Asiana 777 Crash at SFO

Looks like what the Norwegians were driving when I went through.- Egypt
Possible NEO reported in some of the asian papers, but none of the US sources yet.- Gun Talk
Shot it (standard, not heavy barrel), but don't have one. Not a bad rifle, but didn't feel like it matches the 10/22 in build quality.
