Remember, they’re enlisted and you’re an officer. every time they speak to you, task them with some trivial bullshit. Bring me the results of the last dorm inspection? How many CE Tickets are still open on the ops building? How about the dorms? I think the track is a few meters short, go measure it. Get me the names of every crew chief that grew up in Texas. The more tedious and vaguely personnel related the better. they’ll leave you the fuck alone when they realize every interaction comes with homework.

It’s on the dems AND the willing GOP participants of the establishment (McConnell, Crenshaw, etc.) The people are sick of all the bullshit pork the aforementioned group shoves in bills - so yeah it is their fault. I will also be happy to see the gov shutdown. We’re fiscally out of control more than anytime in history - it has to stop.

Don't do it. Get your name out in other ways. If you're enlisted in the unit, I don't know a single guy that would be ok taking a bottle from you. We hire within our unit every year and we've never taken any gifts from non-fighter pilots rushing the unit. Just do your job incredibly well. Have the HMCS and NVGs ready to go. Keep the gloves and piddle packs stocked and ask how the sortie was when they drop gear off. That's a great way to open the door and learn what they do after they step out the door.

Opinions of lower-ranking troops could soon be considered in officer promotions "The pilot would include anonymous peer and subordinate feedback to be submitted as part of command selection for O-5 and O-6 ranks." Our Air Force leadership would look COMPLETELY different. Douche nozzles like Slife and Cat 5 would be busting rocks in the gulag.

Well yeah, I do. It started with listening to her first podcast on why she left the Ds. That episode was over two years ago. Since then I have generally followed her. So to recap, I’ve been paying attention for two years to form my current opinion on her. I’m not really sure what you’re trying to do here, other than deflect from the fact you apparently are very ignorant on Tulsi or just don’t comprehend the general idea of being able to transform opinions and ideas based on changing information over time (and not being a radical tied to the “all or nothing!” mindset on both sides of the aisle that has put our country where it is today).

Which brings me to another “wrong with the AF” point… we’ve got this ingrained cultural problem where a certain sect of SNCOs feel empowered to and expect that they can just run over captains, majors, and even lieutenant colonels. I call it “excessive professional deference”. Sure, you’ve been in longer and I respect your technical competence, but the last time I checked, an O-3 or O-4 still outranks an E-7, 8, or 9. Don’t like it? Tough shit, MSgt…go to OTS and get a commission.

Is it just me or was there no winner in that setup?
