He accepts offer and completes a PCS to DC to work for CSAF. Six months later AFPC drops a 365 to Afghanistan on him...PCS ADSC won't let him turn it down and he finds himself sitting in Kabul guarding TCNs in the chow hall.

To be fair, this was the case with the aileron bellcrank failure, too. Leadership said, "this is a fly-to-fail item that does not get inspected as part of any of our normal maintenance. We have one-time inspected the fleet and they are all currently good to go. Do your pre-flight flight control checks and knock on the bottom of the wing during your walk-around. Now get back out there and fly." So, all still par for the course.

Sure Ned, you are safe...when has the USAF ever lied?

Stark would be best served if he remains anonymous rather than revealing himself. There is nothing to be gained by Stark becoming part of the solution: he made his points in his articles, an even offered proposed solutions. His job is done. And now leadership can get on with doing their f'n jobs with the issues identified. They shouldn't have needed an anonymous public input "from the trenches", but since they did, the least they could do is actually display some of that leadership skill and take action to fix the identified issues...like they should have been doing all this time anyway without proving Stark's hypotheses true. My favorite part of the article: If you look at the three (or is it four, now?) "Dear Boss" letters that have been made public in the last 40-ish years since Capt Keys' famous letter, you'll note that they ALL cover essentially the same territory and have the same types of complaint. So, how is it that Goldfein thinks that "we got better as a service" as a result of that letter? Is that what it means when people keep bringing up the same problems year after year, decade after decade? Good call, Fingers. Keep your skull down, Col Stark, and keep fighting the good fight.

I should preface that by saying I only use my GTC to pay for the airline ticket.

That was tough to read...

Well when the average democrat senator isn’t yelling for the abolishment of ICE then I might believe you. And the darling of the party right now is a self avowed socialist that can’t even articulate what her views mean in an interview. Yep, that’s who I want running my country.

Your shirt was wrong. You can use GTC for many PCS expenses, basically anything travel related or what DLA is for (such as cleaning expenses...) Actually directed to, but nobody checks. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Moose had stated that $50k is an awfully low price Trump had to pay the hackers, when they could've received millions from him. I only pointed out, using Trump's own words, that he's the best deal maker in the world.

Wow. What an incredibly ignorant statement. We can absolutely discuss the issue, but honesty is warranted first. "Unarmed black citizens" are not being "executed" by police.
