Happens a lot faster in an airplane. Doing a day low level on one of the routes in Korea on the Ole Talon we wound up beak to beak with a Pave Low. I just happened to see it first coming up the ridge line we were cresting, started yelling pull up, pull up, and the pilot did. A windshield full of helicopter was a jolt to the ticker. We didn't miss each other by much. We had some beers with that crew later and they said they saw us and pushed down. Can't remember the deconfliction screw up on how we wound up on the same route like that.

"High-ranking US military..." since when does an O-5 qualify as one of those?

The media regards anyone who is appointed command as a senior executive. I'm not sure if that's the case here but there's a lot of eluding to it.

I gotta change my LinkedIn profile. “Senior C-Suite Executive executing executables and delivering deliverables on time and on target.”

You aren't far off actually. A lot of the language around military resume writing advises to refer to commanders as "chief executives" etc.... 

It seems weird to us because a squadron is a small organization compared to the AF at large. But think of each echelon as a subsidiary company to much larger enterprise. A squadron commander is not CEO of Disney, but in a lot of ways they are equatable to a CEO of a small franchise business with 100-150 employees.

Even more reason to keep kids away from this gender transition stuff. 

There are so many kids in this position. It’s heartbreaking. Anyone who champions this trans stuff, especially in kids, is a huge POS and a truly awful human being…and too many of them are teachers, superintendents, etc.

There were a lot of posts in that thread, so before I pass judgment, was he exploiting his position, taking advantage of children, or otherwise engaging in some sort of predatory behavior?

 

I'm not sure I'll ever understand the people who want to role play animals while having sex, but I can think of far more damaging kinks.

Ok...What the actual F!....more importantly through what twisted route to the end of the internet did you find yourself on that webpage.  Of all the things I do not know, I am saddened that is no longer one of them.
