A 130+ dB alarm is louder than an unloaded M9.

And you think these guys didn't get promoted because your wing didn't take the board seriously? They spent their first couple years fucking up - there were 1000 other dudes who didn't spend their first couple of years failing training, PME, and getting DUIs. Here's an idea - if you don't want to end up in the bottom 5% of your year group, don't get a DUI, LOR or fail PME (ASBC?! YGBFSM!!). Technique only.

I don't really give a crap if they apologize or not. It would be meaningless to the wife and two young daughters of the AF Lt Col and the family of the Army Major. That thousands of these people are violently demonstrating because of a perceived "lack of respect" is indicative of gang/thug mentality borne of ignorance and lack of education - the fixes to which are being thwarted at every turn by those we are trying to help. That after their "holy day" on Friday they are motivated to hundreds of acts of violence by thousands of individuals belies this "religion of peace". That our PC society, leaders, and politicians aquiesces and attempts to appease this crap is beyond the pale. The fact I'm sitting 2km from where it happened and still can't put a magazine in my M9, much less a round in the chamber infuriates me... oh, I might have an accidental discharge is the BS rationalization. Sorry, this is a bit of a rant, but I am pissed. In many ways I had a front row seat, and even a degree of participation in yesterday's events. I am extremely angry that two American families have lost a husband, father, and son in this manner. rant off...for now..

If your belief system is so weak you can't stand someone talking about theirs, it's probably time to abandon your belief system. I'm pretty much an atheist, but I have the ability to sit quietly and bow my head respectfully when the chaplain starts his invocation. I also have the ability to listen to really religious superiors make references to God in their briefings without getting bent out of shape. We take this stuff WAY to seriously. Unless your boss is giving you a worse rating for not going to the same church, or sending people who don't agree with his religion to terrible assignments, or in some way forcing the squadron to follow his religious beliefs, then let it go...like an adult.

Why not do the ACSC OLMP Leadership Concentration and get free credit toward three ACSC tests if you are selected for promotion? You can enroll now, be done with the degree by the end of Oct '13. https://www.au.af.mil/au/dlmasters.asp Plus, you don't have to pay anything out of your pocket like ERAU will require.

A-Freaking Men...and on several nights just before being called into that fray I distinctly remember silently praying to myself..."dear lord, please don't let me fuck up".

Yeah man, live and let live.

Guy can't even get some hot Thai action without the God squad getting all judgmental.

Don't say "holy" shit, Hoss...that's religious and offensive.

Pretty awesome story about the first black service member from WWII to receive the MOH. https://badassoftheweek.com/vernonbaker.html

Linsanity I tell you.

High-impact bungee jumping? No thanks!

Coming soon to a PRF near you. Captains competing for the bottom 10%: "Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom.....and has started to dig."
