Just stay in, have the kid, take a year off, never be available when you come back, schedule kid appointments in the middle of the day, come off sorties constantly because “the baby had a rough night”, get sent to the wing after the article about being a fierce fighter pilot Queen that can do it all, get tagged for a deployment, immediately get pregnant again, repeat cycle.
Also work for a female Col at WG, get sent to staff with perfect strats, then get school when all the people putting in time on the line are denied. Have said Col order your attached SQ/CC to upgrade you, take 18 months on a specially made syllabus, then never fly and ask the SQ/CC to make you an evaluator on paper. Come back as the SQ/CC, don’t deploy, wreck any lethality of the team and continue upwards. Much inclusivity, very diverse and warrior queen.
Spend months planning the next “fly like a girl” public affairs stunt instead of actually contributing to the effectiveness of the unit
These vignettes could go on forever; it would be funny if they weren’t so accurate and indicative of the sad state of affairs of our military.
Boeing pioneered the air refueling boom. Now they have the opportunity to revolutionize pilot ingress and egress methods by inventing the pilot ground handling boom.
Boomer: Ready astern
Pilot: Cleared to contact
Pilot: Back 6, down 9, slow closure
Boomer: Say numbers
Pilot: Breakaway x3!
Boomer: Check harness appears we had a brute force disconnect.
Roles reversed!
We're doing old emails now? Here's an email the APA Vice President sent to a cadet while on active duty.

What a classic email. Although to be fair, I’m not sure a cadet in the back of a strike would actually make any difference in their performance!
(I’m just giving you shit strike bros, if it wasn’t apparent already)
2027 IOC......For now.....

"We should trust and support the government sending our money to Ukraine because we can't trust the government to spend the money wisely at home."
You've read a lot of other posts here as to why we should be spending money on Ukraine. Some of them are actually understandable and intelligently argued.
Why would you follow that up with what is perhaps the dumbest, most asinine argument of the entire thread?
