This is so not surprising to me. I can’t tell you how many opsec briefs I’ve sat through pre-deployment and then had squadron members (from FNG to leadership) posting the exact stuff we were just told to not post. The most egregious was a Major posting a picture of the globe with every place (ICAO ID’s) our community had been throughout the world over the last year and talking about how busy they’d been. The Commies don’t even have to try anymore. We’ll just give them the info eventually.

Who do the recruits talk to before signing up?

Quiet professionals!

This is all f#cked up. I am getting random backpaid LES's in the ANG for $5.33 per pay period (AFTP/RUTA). I went from $650 to $1,000 by jumping from 6+ to 10+ 1 Oct 2017. The funny part is I got $28 incentive pay ($840/30) on an AFTP that paid out a few weeks ago. $840 was the old 14 year incentive pay. I wouldn't hit the 14-year Aviation service pay until next fall and besides that, that $840 incentive pay doesn't even exist anymore. Until the new policy I was in the 6-year club getting $650 or $21.67 per pay period. If they're back pay me $5.33 per pay . Based on this change I should be getting $11.63 back pay for each AFTP/RUTA. Looks like I'm going to have to talk to my HARM and finance tomorrow.

The many shots of the democrat party not acknowledging the good news happening in our country is quite telling. The Congressional Black Caucus not even clapping at the lowest black unemployment on record and many other instances of failing to support our country’s successes. It really makes you wonder who they are serving because to me it looks like they care about illegal immigrants more than they do their supposed constituents. I dislike the path to citizenship because I think anyone here illegally should never be allowed to vote. I also dislike the $1.5T infrastructure plan, because just like the stimulus it will add to the debt and will lead to wasteful/fraudulent spending. Other than that I thought it was pretty good.

best sotu ever.

Has the worldwide gouge that coffee makes you crap not reached the Viper community? Interesting. On deployment, immovable schedule item is the pre-Flight shit. All other events are subject to change except that. Any items that can enable a more regular and enjoyable constitutional would be welcome in a care package.

We would call him CP, or CoP or Clowpe. I've heard of much worse, "Vagina Burrito" stands out. Knew a S. Korean F-16 pilot who's callsign was "NugPot", its TopGun backwards, silly Koreans.

Good stuff above. I’d add good ground coffee. I’ve seen local places donate stuff for free to send over.

California, winner winner chicken dinner. Admin leave, probably where it will end. https://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/01/30/military-bashing-california-teacher-pulled-from-classroom-pending-investigation.html

"listerine"

Maybe they can do an ORE on how to be on the same tower frequency as the rest of the base first

What’s that word that management always uses as an excuse to decrease morale? Like when my squadron was told not to go TDY to fun places because it looks bad for us to have a good time on the road? Oh yeah. Optics. It goes both ways AF. I’m the midst of a pilot retention crisis, not paying everything that Congress authorizes you too? Bad optics.

$100/mo taxable raise isn't going to change anyone's calculus. They know this. They've already made it abundantly clear that their plan is recruiting, not retention.
