Myself also at 60,

I'm guessing commanders get the email next week at the earliest. Just my gut/no hope lol

No reason other than my gut/hope, but I think this is the week! Sending you all good vibes.

As a Boomer I took your advice at 59:

Can you imagine if an active duty member was not at work, in the hospital for a few days and didn't notify their supervisor/commander. Yet another double standard by Fat Albert...he was the WRONG choice for so many reasons. Biden and the elitist Dems don't care, maintain power at all costs.

Lol. How did I miss this? 😳

Gotta get rid of that probe though! Put a receptacle on it.

Just throwing my two cents, don’t crucify me. If you’ve already made it to commissioning then you should know you won’t get far in life without pushing boundaries. My biggest successes in my short time in were all due to me just walking up to people I didn’t know and into places I wasn’t known. Thinking “I don’t want to try this thing because I’ll be the only *insert characteristic* person…” is a pretty good reason itself that they shouldn’t do that thing. If they’re an amazing candidate but have the mindset that their skin color or whatever else might make it harder and therefor they won’t do it, I don’t think they’re an amazing candidate. I would rather have a system that might make some people feel that way than a system that instills doubt in everybody because you never know if you’ll get the spot or not due to things you can’t control like you race or gender.

I don’t agree with you often, but fuck yeah, nailed it! Credit where credit is due.

Hell of a season Jackrabbits! Congrats @Danger41

Just sayin'...

Sounds like the trend of Air Force golf courses closing has been going on for the past couple years. Relevant Reddit thread here. I know golf in general as a sport has declined in a lot of places around the country, due to the usual suspects (lack of free time, shrinking middle class, changes in people's interests, etc). The fact that the AF golf courses have to be self-funded just make it that much more difficult. Interesting to see "inclusivity and diversity" weaved into the official press release. It seems like people in command get extra points anytime they can invoke the holy trinity of DEI. Perhaps this is just the Barksdale Wing CC being savvy and tacking on "inclusivity and diversity" to anything and everything. Need to repave the main road? It's going to be the most inclusive and diverse pavement we can get, utilizing asphalt from underprivileged areas. Need to replace a snowplow? We're going to ensure the new plow implements the highest standards of equity, and drive it around in the summer and winter.

To be fair, I don't think Biden knows where he's at the vast majority of the time! On the other hand, it shows how (un)important Austin is in the current administration!

Makes you wonder about the competence of a person that can be missing without informing his boss and nobody seems to care.

If it’s actually a “real” roll call, do not tell a story, an instant justice, etc. Even if asked…your only response is whatever their toast is and take the shot. No matter how funny you think a story at college, while flying a 172, etc is, it will not land as well as you think. Don’t get hammered - you haven’t earned the ability to get wrecked and have all of them still like you the next day. Also helps you maintain control of yourself and not say dumb shit. Be yourself. Don’t try to be someone you *think* they want you to be.

I still find it funny. Doesn't make it right or wrong, makes it funny.

The use of 'we' is hilarious 🙂 Carry on.

Downvote all you want. The timing stinks to high heaven of political opportunism. If this dude cared so much about abortion policy he'd resign over it, he 100% knew about the policy when it was enacted. Assumes command anyway, only to resign months later, waiting just long enough for the election year to roll around, with the governors PR team in tow.

Good riddance. If you're going to make your airmens' travel for abortion/reproductive medical care the hill you die on, your priorities are clearly f-ed up. There is a time and place for the abortion debate and it is not denying your airmen the care they are entitled to by federal policy. The dude assumes command in June 2023.. 4 months AFTER the policy was already in effect.. then resigns over that same policy 6 months later. I'd bet my house this is a political move to gain local/state recognition as the guy who fought the libs. Hell, he's already got huckabee-sanders out there grandstanding for him. O-6 wing kings in the guard don't have much road left ahead of them, so a career pivot to politics makes perfect sense.

This one snuck through the Senior Leadership a few years prior to my class. Take a close look at the hills and mountains. The Columbus Area is called “The Golden Triangle” this patch is epic!,, we were warned not to try anything remotely as awesome as these guys did, CBM Class 83-05 I Salute You!

The only Power 5 Florida school that didn’t lose a bowl game this season!!

And for Biff...

Back on topic...

So what your saying is, there might be a bunch of six-fingered TDY-babies running amuk!?! Won't need Ancestory.com to trace that lineage because @RASH , @Lord Ratner, & @Biff_T are implicated when those six-fingered kiddos are blurting-out 'dibs' during hopefully hilarious, liquefied rants on kid-TDYs of their own! ...all hyperbole

He's only on the 6th place for succession. No worries. 🤡

Internal struggle? It just sounds like you, and he, have issues with trying to punish women just for existing. You both should probably get some help on why you hate them and can't provide leadership when you can't control them. Even so, the AF and DoD are better off with people in that mindset not in leadership positions. Or really in at all. Your bigotry is old and worn out.
