Way to go, Ohio! So happy you stuck it to this RINO! https://www.mrpolitic.com/2018/12/27/ohio-legislature-defeats-kasichs-veto-on-gun-owner-rights-bill/ Essentially, the now approved bill makes it the State's burden to prove a self-defense shooting wasn't just that. Previous law, and Kasich's preferred method, is that the individual had to prove innocence. Fcuk him and his horse.

Sounds like you got your answer above...6 months sounds right for the standard limitation, but good news from Guardian that it's waiverable. Start asking about the waiver process as soon as your PC hopefully gets approved. Good luck dude, hope it all works out!

I got non-vol’d to a 6 month exec gig for a GO ~45 days after a PCS. Turns out that’s as soon as they can make you deploy post PCS. I had 2.5 weeks’ notice. So no, not an aide job but close. I separate this summer.

Yes. But you can ask for a waiver. I think I received 14 months leniency. It was the same people that handle the moving people and dity move stuff. Can’t remember the acronym. Had 2 other dudes in the unit that applied for it and all were approved.

Isn’t it 6 months? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

If you have two hours to kill, the Chinese version of Top Gun (or Rambo, I'm not sure which) called Sky Hunter...

First rule of sarcasm, if your audience doesn't like you, they will always interpret it literally.

Meaningful deployments that actually matter. The stupid PowerPoint builder deployments need to go, but they aren't the only ones. Even stupid flying deployments need to go. You can only move the same pallet of literal garbage, or the same vehicles back and forth, before you start to wonder why you're there away from home. How about also admitting that a 365 is actually a remote (i.e. PCS), and not an ITDY? Yeah, I may have volunteered for the military and the deployments associated with it. But if you take away the meaning from the work, and don't increase pay to compete with the civilian sector (that generally doesn't need that meaning or sense of patriotism), well, don't be surprised when people don't volunteer to stay any longer. Maybe getting into wars with no realistic and achievable end goal is also strategically stupid to the overall health of the military, and a huge drain on national resources.

How about not deploying to be a PowerPoint/Excel secretary for a self serving “bonus taker” O-6+

FIFY. FWIW, I wouldn't say that Jennifer Smith "caused" any of the shenanigans. She has whatever right to complain about whatever she wants to complain about. It is the spineless senior AF leadership that capitulated to the demands of the PC warriors that caused The Purge. They could have just as easily responded to TSgt Smith's Congressional complaint differently (although it would have required a warrior fortitude to over-ride the political pressures), and it wouldn't have happened at all. That same group fails to understand that they, even today, hold all the power to fix the trajectory of the AF toward the ditch. But, hey, if Mark Welsh says that his dad never sang dirty songs, and that means there's no historical tradition of it, then I guess we can just disregard these 50 years worth of songbooks I have copies of and flush heritage down the toilet at the altar of social justice.

Trump should use Hilary’s emails to build the wall, since no one can get over them.

Further, McCrystal talked smack about Obama (to a reporter, no less!) and was rightly fired. Mattis talks smack to the President, egged on by the press, and Trump's the one at fault. Gospel on one hand. Blasphemy on the other. Farewell, logic and facts. We hardly knew ye...

let's see - they have 3 business days (of course Boeing doesn't really understand the concept of days off)... to deliver an airplane. https://www.bizjournals.com/wichita/news/2018/12/21/report-boeing-to-deliver-first-kc-46-tanker-by-the.html Might be a few people missing holiday leave to make it happen. Boeing will push for a 30th arrival, Air Force will balk, Boeing will go to a few Congressmen, AF will be directed to accept it on New Years eve (or weather will delay it)... it shall be glorious.

I like Mattis. Good American. But anyone who wants us to stay in Syria has to go. Full stop. Best case scenario, Assad reasserts control over the entirety of Syria and it goes back to a country that stays quiet and causes few problems. It boils down to a fundamental difference in philosophy. Mattis is on the W Bush, Max Boot, Neocon view that America needs to intervene in however many countries it takes to convert the world to globalist democracy. The only problem with this philosophy is that it hasn't worked since WWII. Trump does not have the intellectual nuance to elucidate this point, but he seems to understand it somewhat instinctually. Mattis is ten times the man Trump wishes he could be, but he's wrong, and if he can't change his views on our foreign strategy, he needed to go. We need to get out of Syria before it loses the one centralized figure capable of maintaining control (Assad). That is, unless you think Iraq and Libya are models to be recreated elsewhere...

Black boots and under shirts looked cooler. Retention for pilots is more about money than anything else. AF problems solved.

In a gesture of goodwill, Southwest named a row of seats after her.

Last I heard they’re making it color (current -46 system is in b&w). Nothing will replace being able to see the receiver with your own MKI. All the -135 needed was a system to wipe off the hydro fluid, anti-ice, de-ice fluid inflight and it would’ve been fine. Boeing sucks. They hired Rat for Christ’s sake.

Pussy. But seriously...thanks for your service and good luck in your future endeavors!

So is the desire to not do 179s? Or 365s? I'm confused. What do you want? To never deploy again?

Lock her up
