Just because its the dumbest thing in the world, doesn't mean Big Blue isn't going to try it or at least push for it

I went though survival school 100 years ago and we had a Lt Col flyer in our class...he had just returned to fly from a staff tour and was about to take command...curing the "audit" they discovered his record did not reflect attending Survival School so they made him go back and do it again. He was MISERABLE and made each once of us promise we would make a hundred copies of the grad cert and mail one to everyone we knew for safe keeping.

The ghost of steve jobs autocorrected "conventional" to "convention" and I failed to proof read which took the wind out of my witty comment. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This. I kinda feel like the only only way some O-8+ types could ever end up with egg on their faces is if we are forced to stop-loss people we were just paying to get out. Alas, I know that accountability does not exist at the rank of 0-6 and above (Rat, Bull Post, Hastings, etc), so the end result would just be some good bros getting held against their will due to shitty timing. That, and the asshat leadership that got us here will continue to pin on stars. Thank Allah I'm already in the guard.

True words from a wise man. Convention wisdom says trump will fvck up at some point, but convention wisdom said HRC would be president. We now have to rewrite the playbook on convention wisdom which should include a chapter of trump grabbing the world by the pu$$y and winning big. I kid. Sorry liberal friends. I'll eat crow just like you in 2, 4 or 8 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't buy until mar-apr timeframe, based on expected market as well as minimizing rent/mortgage overlap...anything I can do to lock rates in prior to the Fed's increase or am I too far out and just have to take what I can get in mar timeframe?

Why don't you buy advertisement space on this site?

The difference is that those critiques were invalid in Reagan's case. Reagan's last movie was about 15 years before his 1980 run. In the meantime he served two terms as Governor of California. He also served in the Army in WWII and was President of the Screen Actor's Guild. Reagan was more than experienced by 1980. Trump not so much. Donald Trump has no government experience at all. I don't know how that's going to go, but we're about to find out.

We knew, I guess we need some parity. But you will likely get lonely. And BTW, come pick up your clothing issue stuff-it's crowding up my office! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Losing the WH is just the tip of the iceberg for the Democratic Party. In 2009, Dems controlled the WH, the Senate, the House, 27 state legislatures, and 28 governorships. Since then, they have lost the WH, the Senate, the House, and now control only 12 state legislatures and 13 governorships. The Democratic message of the today doesn't resonate anywhere in America, outside of major cities and college campuses. They have been lost in their world. They have focused on things like transgender bathrooms, race-baiting, cop-hating, and fretting over ocean levels. Meanwhile, back in the real world, folks are trying to figure out how to get by with lower wages, higher food costs, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and a government that doesn't notice or care about them. The only time they hear from a Democratic politician, they are told they are racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted deplorables. Dems have only themselves to blame for their electoral decimation. Obama came into office with more political capital and goodwill than any POTUS in modern history. He and the Dems chose to spend it on an unpopular and failing healthcare plan, enflaming racial tensions and divide, and of course transgender bathrooms. The funny thing is they have no clue how out of touch they are.

This is why the old ideology needs to change. The new retirement means people no longer care about getting to 20 as they can get some kind of retirement at the end of their commitment. So how many people would pop ninja smoke at the end of their commitment and move on? Probably enough that it will make a big impact to the force structure and leadership.

Also on the short list for AG is US Representative Trey Gowdy. Whoooo boy...those in the Clinton circles should be feeling a bit worried, methinks.

I'll be a data point. I would have gladly served until 20 as a Captain with a 1:1 dwell if I was actually flying. Instead, someone at AFPC decided I should go to drones because I was on the wrong VML. Now, instead of the Air Force getting another 10 years on their investment, I'll be a contractor in 3 weeks. Deuces.
