It has nothing to do with quals and never will. It’s ultimately about getting a 24/7 employee.

Given they’re doubling down on producing rather than retaining to solve the shortage, I doubt we’ll see any improvements to the bonus. With Afghanistan over, I could also see them adjusting MAF crew ratios again to “help” our manning.

Right, because bible thumpers like you are known for your superior intellect.

Time will tell. Since you guys have already volunteered to be the experiment, I’ll be the control.
Okay. Enjoy your experiment with refusing an order. We already know how that will go.

Everyone’s getting covid. Even the vaccinated. So they’ll have both unknown long term risks to deal with.
Right, except for the fact the vaccinated are less likely to be hospitalized. I’m gonna make a guess that if there are long term effects from the virus, they are going to present far more seriously in someone admitted to the hospital compared to someone who needed a bottle of NyQuil and a box of tissues to recover.

I wonder how many of those decrying vaccinations developed with the benefit of fetal cell lines would even hesitate to have their kid administered a rabies vaccine if they were bitten.

Your characterization of motivation for objecting to the use of fetal cells was wrong.
In the case of religious accommodation in the military, I'd bet you'd say the druid in BMT who needs 2 hours a day to sit underneath a tree because of their religion, or the Native American who needs to smoke peyote regularly because of religion would both be incompatible with military service. Both of those religious accommodations have been granted.
With regard to your comment about Leviticus I assume you're talking about Jews correct?
Speaking to religion in general, why should a particular religion makes sense to you as non-follower of that religion? If it made sense to you then you'd be a follower.
The DoD has decided that it wants a force reflective of the populace it protects, to include religion. These religious accommodations are then pursued in good faith. Now if the military said that religious rights are exclusively limited to that which was acceptable to state atheism then this would be a different conversation.
Last I checked Leviticus is still in the Old Testament and came from divine inspiration…

There's a lot wrong with that statement. However, I agree that religious preferences shouldn't be imposed on a non-participating group. On that other hand, it is absolutely acceptable to refuse to participate in biomedical practices that genuinely violate a religious tenet.
Except some religious tenets are incompatible with military service. I know of Jews who adhere to all the Sabbath restrictions when they can, but they don’t put up a fuss when they’re told to fly on a Saturday. If they refused that lawful order, they would be out of a job. Also, if someone uses the argument that “the Bible tells me to,” they’re usually cherry-picking which rules they actually adhere to. I’d like to meet a service member who actually adheres to everything written in Leviticus.
And what exactly is wrong with my statement? Nobody ever got an abortion for the purpose of fetal cell research and abortion is not going away. Argue with those all you want, but you’re wrong. Even if it’s banned in the US, it will continue underground and in other countries.

The only one who’s side effects haven’t been able to be kept hidden by the media.
I know what side effect you’re likely to get from not getting the vaccine: administrative separation prior to reaching 20 (and no, sanctuary doesn’t protect you from that).
One way or another you’re going to get poked; I’d take the needle over the shaft if I were you.

Straight from Wikipedia.
Around year 2001, Senomyx patented several flavour enhancers by using "proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems", which have been previously expressed in human cell culture, in HEK293 cells.[2] HEK293 cells are a cell line widely used in biological and medical research, immortalised through a genetic modification removed from the original human embryonic kidney cells taken from a healthy, aborted human fetus in the early 1970s.[3]

there are similar products I’m not sure why you are mad. I said I wouldn’t use them. Even if they only once used that method, I can do without.
Did you read what you just quoted? Nothing in that suggests that fetal cells are used to make the flavoring, as you previously claimed.

Correct.
Christianity does not support abortions, especially those for convenience. Anything that pushes abortion to be more socially acceptable is not something I want to support. All of the US vaccines were brought to market quickly by leveraging fetal cells lines in their development some way or another. There are actually ethical ways to do this, but big pharma just wants to make money as quick as possible. Most religious exemptions are doing so based on the above.
there aren’t many other vaccines that leveraged fetal cells. There are a few, but information regarding that was never readily available to the normal person, and it wasn’t a reasonable expectation that any member thought those vaccines HAD aborted fetal cells in them/tested with them... so very few people actually asked. Similar to if I ask every restaurant I go to if there are aborted fetal cells in the food....not a reasonable expectation for me to do so.
Whatever your religious objections are, you can’t honestly believe that fetal cell development is a reason that anyone chooses to have an abortion. Your religious beliefs also shouldn’t dictate ethics to a world where a majority of the population doesn’t share your religion.
Abortion exists, it will never go away. Banning fetal cell research will not stop abortions, but it will hinder potentially life-saving research.

Oh god damn it, just happened to me with my Dec 15th LES. Thanks for nothing finance. They also didn't pay me my correct flight pay in Nov and owe me $175 but (sic) "We have to wait 90 days to open a CMS case." Bet if I owed them it'd get solved lickety-split!
Hey man, where's my money! You got money for fake mustaches DFAS...where's my money!
I think they need a Mission Support Group creed so they have a constant reminder they’re here to support. This year I’ve had issues getting deployment entitlements paid, one finance troop went into a voucher and tried to short me on per diem, and they didn’t properly credit me for tax-exempt leave. I’m not holding my breath on that getting fixed before they send out W-2s.

Given your post history, you seem like someone who never got hired.

If that’s the case then why would guard/reserve units still hire a MAF TX guy?

Nah, it's got d.ck to do with age. Privately they don't believe in any of this sh!t either. They know all it takes to meet stated FY production goals is to re-open and staff a single additional former UPT base, and we're doneski here. But they also know that's not in the cards for the SECAF. So as conniving but ultimately rational actors, they play dumb regurgitating that "psychology of learning" disingenuous sophistry at the expense of the perennially revolving door of "f-- ck it I'm going to the airlines" burnt out rank and file instructor cadre, who they consider expendable and uncommitted for holding said sentiments in the first place. All the while retaining access for their post-retirement NoVA consultant six fig grift. Nothing new under the sun.
The problem with the GO in question is he exhibits a penchant for grudge holding and narcissism above and beyond that of the average GO. The enterprise is certainly worse off for it. But this too shall pass. Yes, some kids are getting burned as casualties of the experiment. But everybody who signed on the dotted line knew they were in for a f$cking at some point or another. Not condoning it, just reiterating the 3 axioms of military life.
We’ll I’ve seen plenty of stupid decisions made by Generals who grew up under a Vietnam/Cold War mindset, so I’ll still consider that.

That link says households with vaccinated people spread C19 at 25%, and unvaccinated households at 38%. That’s only a 13% difference. Add to that observation there was no discussion of how severe symptoms were (if any at all), and it’s quite clear this is not a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Frankly it’s not a pandemic at all, COVID is over as a threat. Now we’re talking about mandatory boosters? This is insane.
25 vs 38 is a difference of more than 50%

That dude has single-handedly wrecked the trajectory of UPT for the next generation. Don’t know how he sleeps at night.
But VR and strength/cognitive training are going to totally make up for reduced flying hours! I see this as the latest example of how our GOs are too old and out of touch.

Are fighters really so unique that a T-1 grad couldn't learn to fly one?

I’ve heard rumors about how they are trying to experiment with getting fighter qual’d straight out of the T-6 and skipping 38s. There was an article out about it a few months ago…here’s the link

Yeah, not being implemented as of now. Hopefully Wills moves on to a new job before he does any more damage than he’s already done.
This still has nothing to do with your suggestion.

Why back through 38s? Why not an accelerated 38 course during IFF?
As for older FNG... doesn't seem much different from getting a FAIP or late-to-rate guy.
Based on recent mishaps, do we really want to abridge the already abridged course?

Why does the Air Force not have more TX fighter slots? I feel like it would be less of a risk to take an already qualified pilot who could have gone fighters, but chose heavies and put them through a TX course than it would be to hire a UPT guy off the street. No offense to UPT hires but a rated pilot already knows how to fly the Air Force way…I’m just thinking if there is a fighter pilot shortage this could be a solution to it. Thoughts?
Because training is expensive. Your idea means sending someone back through -38s, then IFF, then B course, to get an older FNG at the expense of the community who just lost an IP.
