  1. Another Marine Commanding Officer Fired Over Drunk Driving Charges https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/05/04/another-marine-commanding-officer-fired-over-drunk-driving-charges.html
  2. Crackdown at Lejeune: Inside the 2nd Marine Division commander’s controversial call for discipline https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2019/05/02/crackdown-at-lejeune-inside-the-2nd-marine-division-commanders-controversial-call-for-discipline/
  3. If your on base housing sucks and negligence results in an accident, just sue: https://www.militarytimes.com/pay-benefits/2019/05/02/retired-centcom-commanders-lawsuit-against-privatized-housing-owners-gives-validation-to-issue-advocate-says/ I didn't know OSI was well versed in electrical fires. I thought the fire department deals with determining the cause. Housing Electrician: Hold my beer while I drill through a live wire with a nail. OSI: The fire was the result of heating up a hot pocket. Gen: It was an electrical fire. OSI: You are right sir, it was an electrical fire.
  4. Sources: Army General Who Retaliated Against Green Berets Forced to Retire https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/05/03/sources-army-general-retaliated-green-berets-forced-retire/
  5. I had the exact same in my PRF..lol! I did have one DG, #1/30 CGOs, #1/15 FGOs, #2/15 FGOs, and #8/30 FGOs in Group. I even had a #1/10 SOFs in there lol. Hopefully, you make it. I get the feeling the non-ops side drive what is important on the board. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what the board values does change.
  6. All the officers automatically promoted to O-4 will be the next to have the deer in the headlights look. Rolls downhill if an O-5 can't do it.
  7. Some of us here flew missions during OIF. I hope we aren't mixing SIGINT with cyber because they aren't the same. Cyber has been around since I was a SIGINT analyst in the late 90s working at an agency I cannot discuss. Based on Operation Allied Force, OIF, and OEF the contributions are just piggy backing and none of the conflicts were shortened. In my opinion, adversaries are becoming smarter and the non flying side of the AF does an inadequate job of adapting on the fly. Unless cyber can repel "boots on the ground," then it's just another tool in our war chest. Cyber bud PRF read he deployed once to BAF, but racked up 300+ kills. I'm like there are Special Ops Units that probably don't have that many kills. (Maybe I'm just hating.)
  8. Promoting folks who kicked ass in combat: https://fighterjetsworld.com/historic-aircraft-and-incident/the-story-of-the-rescue-of-current-csaf-general-david-l-goldfein/13216/
  9. Who would have thought Afghan pilots would bail on their country for US foot longs and a little Netflix and chill? Since one of their female pilots was granted asylum. Wouldn't the Taliban just go after her family? The US closed the bring all your family to the US loophole I thought. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/05/02/afghan-pilot-training-ends-after-almost-half-went-awol-in-america/
  10. What did a Cyber Effects Officer do during all of OEF and OIF? We blew up everything electronic within the first few days during OIF. During OEF, you won't have any effects from the batteries going bad in the Taliban Speak & Spells.
  11. https://www.al.com/news/2019/05/former-delta-force-commander-dies-in-lawnmower-accident-at-alabama-home.html 🍺🍺 To the elite.
  12. Men and women will have inappropriate relationships. Could be married with kids. I'm assuming this might be the case.
  13. What happens to a Brig Gen who can't do their job anymore? Do they just stay home until a suitable position is found for them? "She's a 4.5 star wacko," one former academy officer said of Goodwin, with whom he served alongside. Probably was a wacko as a Lt, Capt, Maj, Lt Col, and Col but now the AF is just catching on...yeah right.
  14. I think his point is... or at least what I got out of his story is that it looks like there was a good chance he was definitely being profiled and if that was the case, HTF did the drug testing people know of his medical records? That is HIPAA stuff right there. I would assume medical on base or a lab off base tests the results. The DDRP lady isn't testing your samples. Personnel running the tests already have access to your records or don't if sent off base.
  15. Elon Musk’s security clearance under review by the Pentagon over pot use https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/mar/07/elon-musk-security-clearance-under-review-pentagon Willing to bet he lose his SECRET clearance. You can keep your clearance if you self ID for being addicted. But not for what he did.
  16. Dragon 1 Flight - 2 Dragon (Ship) Mission Checkrides Studs: Daenerys/Drogon & Jon/Rhaegal Daenerys - Q-1E (On altitude and shacked airspeed with great all around SA. Amazing lead.) Jon Snow - Q-3 (Worst wingman ever & horrible SA. Always out of position. No BDA checks attempted. Inconsistent support for lead during flight. Broke formation to roll in on Night King. Did not perform lost wingman procedure, which resulted in mid-air dragon collision.)
  17. If you have been legally prescribed a medicine, you don't have to worry about popping hot. They look to see if you were authorized the meds based on your medical records/prescriptions. I assume there are reasonable time limits that goes with your prescription and DDRP.
  18. When I was DNIF, I was tested a lot in Phase II. Just one of those things because you are available. If you give a sample every week, that's someone on the schedule who doesn't.
  19. I am 100% for certain the Resource Management (RM) office is run by E's. No O's in sight the few times I have visited the office. Reminds me a certain SARM office that had those types of business hours. Guess who put an end to SARM group PT and their weekly group breakfast. The whole office would be gone for breakfast. The CC, SS, and CCF all backed me up.
  20. From promotion to drug use discussion. Thread derailed. Here is a good article. It all depends I guess..https://orderediblesonline.com/how-long-do-edibles-stay-in-your-system/
  21. Google isn't going to pay you to sit there and watch their network stay down for hours like in the Air Force. Then said Airman sends out an email 5 hours after the fact to notify everyone. Forgetting, nobody has email access to read it anyway. 😂🤣😂🤣 Additionally, 70% of the men and women between the ages of 18-24 are ineligible to serve because of drug, weight, testing, or criminal issues. The remaining percentage is like a box of chocolates. I see the reports of Airmen and NCOs who have done marijuana, cocaine, meth, and the list goes on. With states approving the use of marijuana, the military is bracing for a force hooked on marijuana like they experienced around the time of Vietnam. What did the military do back then to clean house? They kicked you out immediately. I was told whole offices were kicked out if they all tested positive.
  22. E's preach about the importance of a CCAF. I had a SNCO call another SNCO out for not having a CCAF. Go to Google and tell them you have your CCAF and you want them to hire you. I talked to the SNCO about the importance of leading and solving problems, but internally I kept feeling just like this in regard to the significance of a CCAF:
  23. Returned last Friday morning (19 April) from TDY Submitted voucher from home on Friday (19 April) around 1300. Reviewed Monday by RM office. I email AO Wednesday to review. He kicks it back on Friday, April 26. I resubmit within a few mins the changes he requested and then the original "Reviewer" kicked it back a few minutes later. I called her and my hotel receipt needed to be moved under substantiated documents and removed as an expense. Completed changes in 3 mins and resubmitted around 1230. Chances are the Reviewer in the RM office bailed on a Friday because things went radio silent after. We have an RM office with 2 E's that deals with DTS for every squadron in the Group. Maybe you got paid because you have O's running DTS opposed to E's who bolt after lunch. Some E's do things at lightning snail speeds I've noticed.
  24. I put the document under receipts because it was a hotel receipt. She was able to see it because she told me to move it. Grrrr
