Looks like that initiative went well. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/01/14/gofundme-to-refund-20-million-raised-by-purple-heart-air-force-veteran-for-trumps-border-wall/

Most Philosophy majors are 😂

Or someone who’s taken an undergrad international political systems class.

Agreed. He graduated from Harvard Law. Agree or disagree, he made a concise point of view.

Not with all the corrosion they keep finding.

The ones that were at Will Rogers? When I was stationed at Altus I would always see them there while driving to OKC.

Enlisted Aircrew have about as much in common with a SARM troop as a fighter pilot does with a Force Support Officer.

Start by not accomplishing a mediocre career or be rich.

Why’s that?

Example: https://www.stripes.com/news/pacific/former-fitzgerald-commander-pleads-not-guilty-to-criminal-charges-from-collision-1.536970. This is after the Art 32 hearing officer recommended dismissal of the charges. While the 7th Fleet Admirals are retired: https://taskandpurpose.com/navy-fires-2-admirals-prepares-senate-questions-string-mishaps/ Gotta have a a scapegoat for Congress. She’s also never being indicted with criminal charges for those emails, so why constantly bring it up?

Whataboutism at its finest. Maybe if you were Enlisted, you would’ve been punished. Different spanks, for different ranks. I had a dipshit Sq/CC leave a SIPR hard drive in his computer, in his office, for five days while he went TDY, logged in but locked. He’s currently an O-6. I’m sure he got a ”stern verbal counseling” from the OG and WG/CC...if that. I’m going to assume he didn’t suffer any consequences due him being promoted and being an OG/CC somewhere. Had he been Enlisted the odds were against him of keeping his current rank or some other career ending consequence. However, you’re right, you would’ve been punished. Those in society, who’s opinions matter on the topic, have deemed what a career attorney/politican did isn’t big enough to warrant criminal charges. The lack of action with regard to possible criminal conduct, or negligence, for senior ranking military personnel, almost never happens because they’re too powerful to be punished and the “optics” wouldn’t look good. It seems the only time that the branches want to go after a senior ranking person is when they want a scapegoat to take the fall to prevent more senior personnel from taking a negative hit.

Trump should use Hilary’s emails to build the wall, since no one can get over them.

Maybe if MAF leadership weren’t risk adverse managers.

Mueller/Mattis - 2020

No, they just have angry veteran’s who are pissed they took away their opiates because they were abusing them and try to guilt trip the employees into “helping out a veteran.” Which I think around 50% of VA employees are veterans themselves.

The VA is rated nine slots higher than the USAF. That should speak volumes.

“U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan told Flynn at his sentencing hearing that Flynn was essentially “an unregistered agent of a foreign country, while serving as the national security adviser to the president of the United States,” and asked a prosecutor with the special counsel’s office whether Flynn could be charged with “treason.” After reviewing some of the allegations against Flynn, including that he worked to advance the interests of the Turkish government in the United States, the judge pointed to an American flag behind him in the courtroom and said heatedly, “Arguably, that undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably you sold your country out." “The court’s going to consider that,” the judge said. “I cannot assure you, if you proceed today, you will not receive a sentence of incarceration.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/michael-flynn-trumps-former-national-security-adviser-scheduled-to-be-sentenced/2018/12/17/19ce1bb4-0247-11e9-b5df-5d3874f1ac36_story.html?utm_term=.54f758fcd3ce Sentencing postponed until March 2019.

Sounds like you have a bitch ass OSS/CC who doesn’t want to make a flight in Sq do their job.

I talked to a Boeing Rep years ago at an ATA about that. He said the USAF couldn’t afford to have them redesign the empennage to have a Boom Pod/ARO. Other countries have been flying the KC-30 with a camera system just fine, in color, unlike the Boeing system which is in black and white. Smartest thing the USAF did was a fixed price contract with this program.

Court martial. It was more of an example of civilian defense counsel isn’t always “better” than military assigned counsel.

No, my bad, the one before him.

Don’t give them ideas...

Apparently people forget this used to be allowed.

In these Hunger Games it doesn’t really matter if anyone is offended. All that matters now to the risk adverse managers of the USAF is IF someone COULD’VE been offended. Sounds like the four star didn’t want to leave it open for anyone to be possibly offended and wanted to show senior USAF, DoD, and Congress that he reacted to the alleged issue. The previous Vance CV was my Sq/CC when he was relieved of command over an ASEV failure, he was the fall guy. He eventually made O-6, but had to work twice as hard and the right people took care of him. So, I wouldn’t say this dude’s career is totally done. According to the article he just took over as Sq/CC, he probably has a few years before he’s retirement eligible.
