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.

Yeah, the ability to say no.

No CC these days will ignore the results of any CDI that involve criminal conduct. That whole careerism, appease senior CC’s and Congress thing, protect career thing. Why wasn’t he charged with assault consumed by a battery (Art 128)? If an A1C gets that charged for touching a girl’s ass certainly an Lt Col who’s a Sq/CC would get charged for trying to choke a dude in a bar.

That snark from a Air Force GS that voluntarily lives in Clovis? Yeah, I I can’t imagine where that snark came from either.

2 AF? God help you!

Valid. However, why doesn't the other SOCOM groups have these problems as bad as them?

SEAL charged with killing an insurgent that was being treated medically, steroid use, obstruction of justice. https://taskandpurpose.com/navy-seal-war-crimes-charge-sheet/ Two SEALs and two MARSOC Marines charged with killing a Green Beret, obstruction of justice, hazing, and burglary. https://taskandpurpose.com/charge-sheets-seals-raiders-green-beret/

It's called the Air Force, not the Finance Force. If your Gp/CC wanted that, he should've retired and got his worthless GS job at DFAS.

That’s because a majority of the fools in charge, especially in the MAF, were the ones who were skirting deployments in the mid-to-late 2000’s. They’re just going to preach what helped them achieve their promotions.

Wait, you let them drive? Bold move Cotton...

That depends on who accomplished the CDI and if there was any bias.

Get a doctor to write a Nexus letter claiming any issues that you’re claiming were due to your Active Duty. If you have any medical issues that were documented in your military medical records during your time, that shouldn’t need a Nexus letter. Also, talk to a good VSO to help you.

Never trust anyone, let alone a GO, with a flat top.
