CAF argument and its surprising that the 2 people they mention have MAF backgrounds. Both seem to have legit credibility with TPS. Just curious on the opinions of the forum.

Thought someone might have heard some unclass/rumors. Sorry, wont ask about it any more.

https://www.defensenews.com/air/2022/10/27/air-force-to-replace-kadena-f-15-squadrons-with-rotational-fighters/ Looks like the eagles will be leaving Kadena. Seems weird to pull them before we can fully replace them with squadrons based there. Any rumor who is going to be rotating there? Are the PACAF Viper units going to be doing most of the rotational work?

RUMINT is that some of the coaches were giving recruits stuff, breaking dead period rules and taking kickbacks to recruit certain players.

I agree, and maybe its people like me too blame for not speaking up. I think the majority of people agree that its all stupid but nobody wants to fall on the sword in a public setting and say this is a waste time and effort and is ultimately counter productive.

I've been floating around baseops for a while and now figure I can speak to the fox news article. First this isn't something new this year we have had these diversity and inclusion briefs/discussions at the academy for a few years but it sounds like now someone decided to leak the stuff to the press. I can say that when this stuff happens 69% of cadets don't agree but also don't dare to speak up, because how dare you contradict the gospel in front of someone who believes it (especially leadership) and don't be the douche who makes a brief go longer than needed. But behind closed doors most people don't believe it, agree that it is stupid a waist of time and possibly more divisive than cohesive. Most cadets are not buying in to this but they know the thing to do is just nod your head and stay out of the spotlight.
