If you're going to take the bonus, do so in the guard after you have a line number.

I’d pay good money to watch the right types of girls college wrestling. More to participate.

This kid also gets the award for absolute dumbest reason to mishandle classified. Not because you're going to whistle blow a perceived ethical violation, not because you're a no shit spy (which is shitty but at least you have a motivation, money, power, whatever...) Not because you're a fast burner and thought you could get some work done on the weekend.... Like hell..... even Trump clearly had an agenda to drop some bomb shell leaks right into the election...... No..... you literally leaked a trove of sensitive information to impress a group of adolescent Call of Duty gamers..... how fucking moronic do you get.....

I'd advise anyone considering to vote for Gavin Newsom to choke themselves. If they happen to live through the choking, they should come visit our once great state of CA. There are more homeless people here than live in Wyoming. Everytime it rains, our beaches get covered in needles from the thousands of homeless that discard their waste into the creeks and rivers where they have established shanty towns. Instead of Disneyland, visit skid row. My favorite part is how people here complain about how shitty it is and blame conservatives, yet all of the shittiest parts of CA are dem controlled. Look at the difference between OC and LA or SD and LA. You will see the actually results of years of shitty decisions in the Golden State. You can literally see the difference between OC and LA when you cross county lines. LA county is a giant terd.

God help us all if that scum bag makes it into office.

The River Rats Organization has been receiving a lot of calls/e-mails lately regarding fighter aicrew being diagnosed with Cancer in their 40's, some in their 50's. Lots of findings of Prostate Cancer, but a couple incidents of Testicular and Thyroid...even a few Brain Cancer's. If you know of ANYONE that is involved with tactical aviation / radar exposure, regardless of their MWS, and they have been diagonsed with Cancer, please have them contact James "Hoser" Paulsen at hoserfa18@mac.com Hoser is the River Rats National Vice President and is the POC for data collection. Once the data has been compiled (and depending on what it shows) the River Rats intend to pursue the issue with military officials and the VA, much like what had to be done with the Vietnam / Agent Orange generation. Max help in distribution of the message is greatly appreciated. Requesting a little help from a Mod to have this thread pinned for max visability. Cap-10

Well if all this business keeps going, I’m selfishly hoping if Title IX gets repealed (idiotic), NCAA wrestling programs will see a resurgence. Those programs got slaughtered and are usually low hanging fruit under Title IX.

Eh, you look at Kathleen Hicks' bio, and it becomes clear how someone like her could arrive unprepared. She's a DC swamp creature through and through. She's spent her entire career within the DC Beltway. It's not surprising that she would appear so entirely out of touch. She probably thought Jon Stewart would crack a couple jokes, shake her hand, and leave. Look at her bio; she's spent her entire adult life as a bureaucrat in the federal government. She's married to a fellow swamp creature (Thomas Hicks) who had such career highlights as "helping to pursue low emissions alternative fuels" as Undersecretary of the Navy, and now runs a K-street advisory firm focusing on "help(ing) companies, organizations, governments and institutions prepare for, mitigate against and take advantage of change." Whatever the fuck that means. When people talk about the "Deep State," these are the kind of folks they're talking about. A huge body of career bureaucrats, answerable only to their fellow bureaucrats. They make buckets of money, and provide vanishingly little in return. As time goes on and their numbers increase, they only get more and more out of touch with the day to day lives or ordinary Americans.

A near-peer has shown their ass on the global stage. They're hauling out WWII-era tanks to replace their losses. They've united the Western world behind them, to the point where NATO is less dependent on them for energy than any time in the last 30 years. They convinced the Scandinavian countries to finally join NATO. In what world do you look at Russia's current state and say "eh, they haven't lost anything"? Sure, they have nukes. So does Pakistan. Do you lie awake at night worrying about Pakistan? Having seen the state of their conventional military, I wonder if they even have the capacity to launch the nukes or if they've been picked clean of electronics and scrap aluminum.

Never ever pay off the GTC out of pocket. The naughty list should be a red flag on someone’s slide for finance … not for you.

Live off base. People think that the 10 minute drive to work will somehow make or break their UPT experience, it won't. If anything it's 10 minutes to clear your nugget going to/from work. Get a roommate and a decent house and throw some ragers. Your future self will thank you.

I know a LOT of guys that have enlisted to get to know pilots and get a pilot slot. Of those I know of 3 that actually got the slot (there are more, I just don't know them). I do know at least 20 crew chiefs in my unit that joined with that plan then life got in the way. Remember, after tech school you'd still have OJT then you have CDC's and all your new tech stuff. You could end up working in phase, if you are a part timer you'd only see guys on weekends, etc. It takes a lot more time to get to know guys as a crew chief than you'd think. I definitely recommend holding off and rushing (unless you are totally stuck on your hometown unit like N730 said). What are your other scores? They all matter, not just pilot/nav.

Interesting. May be a Tapatalk thing, but everytime I post, it cuts me off half way through. I am starting to think my wife runs this forum...

I would say if you know anyone that flys mil air, regardless of MWS, and has exposure to radar/trons and has been diagnosed with any form of cancer, I would encourage you/them to contact "Hoser" Paulsen (see above)...the more data we have, hopefully, the easier our fight will be to get the military/VA on board.

How about Bomber, Prowler, and Compass Call guys? Those platforms put out tons of 'trons as well. I've know a couple of bomber guys who've gotten cancer in their late 20s or early 30s.

Basically Title IX said you had to have equivalent number of men’s and women’s scholarships. Hardly any women’s sports generate money in college and sports like football take up a bunch of scholarships (85 at FBS level). As a result, wrestling would often get cut to free up 10 scholarships and because it’s not a revenue generating sport either at a lot of schools.

The application of scholarship funds has to be proportionate between men and women, so when a school has a sport like wrestling that women generally don’t participate in (and also doesn’t bring in as much athletic department money), it tends to get axed when they have scholarship allocation problems.

I think Pooter's point is pretty clear and easy to understand. The Dems are making sure that Trump gets the nomination because they believe they can beat him. And they also understand that the Reps are stupid enough to let that happen. And if that does happen, the Dems will be in the White House for 4 more years. Its kinda obvious what they are doing. The only question mark is Biden. Can he be the face of the Dems for 4 more years. And that's where Republicans and conservatives have gone full retard. Biden can barely put a sentence together. He is blatantly anti-conservative in his policies. He's old. He can easily be defeated by a strong Republican candidate. But Republicans will find a way to put the idiot Trump back into the general election. And he will lose. Don't know if Biden will defeat him, but a Dem definitely will.

I feel like it DID happen in the Catholic church, and it HAS disappeared from the media.
