Sim Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 If I would "try" to find justification for the General, I would look into AFI 1-1 ( AFI that is ignored by everyone all the time) Quote 2.13.4.

I hope it wasn't Buffy as it does not match his character (I've been wrong before). I've known him since we were WIC instructors, legit good dude back in the day. As I recall the decision to transition to the B-2 was not his and he did make the most of it by being initial B-2 WIC Cadre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurelySerious Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 But I think skibum, and other inquiring minds, wanted someone to out the General Officer that was chiefing people for their patches.Yeah, and if this is true, there’s only a singular two star at Barksdale right now so the inquiring minds are probably smart enough to figure it out. I mean, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooter Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 There's not much that bothers me more than Air Force PA / journalists botching aircraft visrecce. I can understand the occasional nonner poster with flanker clip art but the people whose literal core job is to report factually on the mission we do is a bridge too far. @HuggyU2 you're a far better man than I.

I didn't see anything in these emails that breaks the law. I see senior leaders recognizing the cultural and legal hurdles they have to overcome and trying to find solutions. Like getting the branded vaccine so that service members can't claim its the experimental version. The vaccine has definitely fallen short of what was promised, but painting any discussion of how to move people towards taking it as "breaking the law" isn't helpful to your cause. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Stiglitz Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Great headline, was looking forward to the smoking gun. Now I’m wondering if the possibility might exist that it has nothing to do with the evidence it presents. The email screenshots literally say: Person 1: “We’re struggling to meet this requirement because of reasons. Can you answer some of these questions?” Person 2: “We’d love to help you.” Person 3: Answers one of the questions. Where did the law-breaking conspiracy occur?
