  1. https:// https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/putin-to-invade-ukraine-next-week-according-to-u-s-officials I’m just glad that if we did set that “any US people get hurt” red line, no one believes we’ll enforce a red line.
  2. Sounded familiar. I thought there was irony in the overweight guy telling everyone they had to be fit and couldn’t be over 196 lbs with gear, like special operators.
  3. This is a great summary, and second how boring 121 flying is but it is easy work overall. Until you get the captain that wants to pontificate on how the passengers prefer when you use the archaic autopilot methods for comfort blah blah blah yeah, Jim…they don’t care.
  4. Probably took us a while to figure out ~500 reps is a ton. Doubt the founders quite imagined the scale of 300M people to represent, to be quite honest. Quite the derail, but you keep on that Apportionment Crusade, bud. The PYB Thread for Constitutional Scholars is a few clicks over, though.
  5. For reference, it’s hard enough to get UTAPS to work (who the still uses IE11?!) to get paid for normal IDTs and get your orders cut by your Det and paid for AT…but if you figure this out, good on you.
  6. They definitely meant for the more populous areas to not run roughshod over the less populous. That was literally the idea.
  7. So you would like to go directly against the constitution and the deliberate balance of a not-proportional chamber. Noted.
  8. All the Senate procedural rules are not in the constitution, so don’t be pedantic.
  9. Well hopefully should it be attempted, with someone casting the DECIDING vote on appointing themselves for a lifetime on the nation’s highest court…there would be a challenge. Anyone worthy of actually being on that bench would recuse themselves from that vote. Also, who the brought up constitutionality? I said she shouldn’t be allowed.
  10. Is that what Harry Reid told you?
  11. While we’re talking about amazing people from the herc community, who was the clown in charge of SOS like 6-9 years ago?
  12. Conflict of interest a bit much.
  13. I also don’t see how she could be confirmed to the SCOTUS. Surely she wouldn’t be allowed to break the tie in the Senate to appoint herself.
  14. Hit up your AETC IP friends, they can find it in TIMS.
  15. Rich from a guy who lauded Strom Thurmond as a great person on the floor.
  16. Several O-5 billets being changed to non-pilot AFSCs while I was in the process of applying for them . It was easier to take a job with a different pilot AFSC than my own.
  17. In my search, the billet rank wasn’t a problem when I was looking at O-5 ones for what it’s worth. AFSC changes for those billets are what nixed it.
  18. At various times on the reserve vacancies site, but I admit I haven’t looked in a few months. I’m sure you are doing this, but I was always looking one rank up and down in the columns for that.
  19. Is ALPA getting that ALR High pay LOA ready?
  20. 10th AF is in Fort Worth, if I remember correctly. I remember seeing jobs there pop up occasionally.
  21. In my mind, apply anywhere you can envision working while waiting for that top job.
  22. https://www.travelsafe.pr.gov What a clown show.
  23. Truth, but don’t mistake the cynicism for aspects of it not being worth it. Everyone’s calculus is different, and may change over time. I have plenty of bros who were CSO types that managed UPT (and one even in RPA) slots that are enjoying it. The flying is definitely a highlight.
