We’ve seen this before. Godspeed Protagonist. I hope your quest for the algorithm goes according to your future plan.

California and Texas alliance? That’s one hell of a fantastical leap!
Probably a smart plot device actually to not make it an easy red vs blue thing.
I think it’s obviously a movie about how amazing Texas is at having to rescue California. Obviously the state with an unending amount of firearms is going to have to lend some support to the West Coast as they’ve been slowly bled of their constitutional right to bear arms and were in the early stages of being overrun until Texas supplied them with an influx of arms via Mexico (the border is way, way open in this film). Really, now that I think about it, this is a movie about the second forming of an independent Texas nation, and they view California as an easy land grab for the natural resources. It makes way too much sense. /s

I think that the real issue is that kids today just don’t have any idea who Doug Masters was or what he did for his family and country. Obviously we need a refreshed Iron Eagle movie to appeal to these youngins. Make Samuel L Jackson the new Chappie.

So do I get to just show up, fly BFM/DCA/BSA, get my OHWS massage and go home? Or do I still have to do all the bullshit that makes life painful in the military (SAPR/CBRNE/pretty much anything by flying)? Also, is there an "indispensable BMC," that is something like 3 sorities/month? Asking for a friend.
Last year, my WG/CC was denied indispensability by our TAG (Army) because... well, he's Army...
The first dude that was indispensable in our unit, showed up on his first Drill after being “retired” for about 4-5 (I.e. 6-9) months, and was handed a C-bag with all his Chem gear in it for an exercise we were having. He looked at the OG and said, I’m not doing this. Quit that weekend to never come back and has forever lived in infamy.

My main complaint was how poorly the classes are balanced out. AFPC uses it as competitive thing for civilians, so I had a number of classes where there were only one or two other dudes/dudettes who had any ops or deployed experience. Makes it tough to discuss things when the people with no experience are just regurgitating info from a random JP.
Ah, takes me back to Distance Learning ACSC, Afghanistan ‘18. I decided that after hacking the mish, turning bad guy bodies into pink mist, then coming back and having to discuss “use of force” or “diplomatic resolutions” with a bunch of noners and civilians was pissing me off to no end, literally wanting to make me go out and kill someone. Trump was happy to oblige with the ROE and ISIS.
I didn’t sign up for another course until rotating back home.

SocialD and mp5g, are your orders title 10? Our orders are title 10 Contingency so they look exactly like deployment orders. Just trying to figure out why you guys wouldn’t be USERRA exempt like us.
Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile appOurs are all Title 32 with a Title 10 overlay if the horn goes off.

We have some ACA AGR’s but most of the guys that contribute are on ADOS. None of the ACA type orders (AGR or ADOS) have been USERRA exempt for us. However, some dudes have submitted their ADOS orders through Reduced Retirement and have had luck getting them approved. I really think that simply comes down to who is reviewing your order sets on any given day. But like SocialID said, what’s a brother gotta do to get some USERRA exempt ONE orders?

I honestly don’t see what the problem is. I mean, the three dudes grilled on Capital Hill about the Afghanistan pull-out/debacle/abortion have a very impressive graduate education resume, and I think they showcased that higher level critical thinking during the withdrawal operation. It’s common knowledge more degrees make a better leader. /s

No military groomers in high school!!!
However, let us groom your 7 year old child to become a transgender.
The difference is nobody is forced into Jr ROTC or ROTC. As it stands, they want to force you to change your children's sex.
I agree it’s f****d that people are able to push the agenda of allowing kids to choose what sex they want to be and then allowing them to seek those changes without parental consent.
But the data on the MiG is incorrect. The Fox News article you quoted actually referenced an article I saw a few weeks ago (One headline from Dec. 11 portrayed the JROTC as ensnaring teenagers, "Thousands of Teens Are Being Pushed Into Military’s Junior R.O.T.C." ).
In multiple low income areas across the US, school administration officials are in fact forcing kids into JROTC programs without either the kids’ or parents consent.
(https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/11/us/jrotc-schools-mandatory-automatic-enrollment.html)Not advocating for the abolishment of JROTC, and half of the crap in the article I think, is overt sensationalizing. Just giving more context.

What’s the deal with radiotelephone operator license? Do you need to have it with you or just pay to play for it?
Get rich scheme for someone along the way. Pay to get your “I wanna be airline pilot” card and you have to carry it with you during flight.

I actually think he was real. The reason I say that was I’m pretty sure he rushed our unit and we agreed to interview him before we found out about his online persona. Can’t remember all the details as I’ve had a scotch or two or 690 since then, but it seems to be in the ballpark of possible. He was not hired if that wasn’t obvious.

Rough month for the SD bubbas. Glad the pilots are walking away from the accidents.

It's still showing up via a secondary paycheck. Nothing like getting 6-9 pay stubs every month. Don't worry though...I was assured in 2018, that it would all be fixed when DFAS rolls out the new pay system in Jan of 2020...
SocialD, you should feel privileged. You are literally living the real life “checks in the mail” maxim. Your check has just been in the mail for 4+ years.

Last night, LGA changed from landing on 31 and departing on 4 to landing on 4 and departing on 13. The pure shit show that was ground talking to everyone was hilarious. Added hilarity when company maintenance would chime in to ask if they could move a piece of equipment, right after ground gave a lengthy clearance and was awaiting read back.

Not a movie, but if you have Amazon Prime, I’d recommend checking out Counterpart. It premiered on Starz back in 2017; interesting concept and really entertaining.
And yeah, boo China. They’re the worst. This shit didn’t fly when Harvey Weinstein ran Hollywood. #justsayin /s

Info on BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing)
in General Discussion
Posted
If I remember correctly, when I went to UPT at Columbus, my wife stayed home in Dallas. I filed a waiver for BAH for the higher cost of living area (Dallas) and it was passed without no issue. Of course this was over 10 years ago, so things may have been changed but that was the only hardship we had to prove.
