Hopefully he has good home insurance.

Valid. Supervisors should know if their ppl have a shaving waiver or not. That being said, until very recently the only dudes I saw with a beard were black. Since 2020 I have no problem believing supervisors were afraid to ask for fear of being labeled racist/hassling airmen of color.

She's wants to know how your sex change went, funded with stolen money no doubt..

Let's see if I've got this right. Bus says taxation is theft. The taxation that paid for his helo, his crew chief's BAH, possibly even a few TDYs to see juicies abroad. You knowingly flew said helo purchased with stolen money, allowed your crew chief to morally debase themselves by using tools purchased with stolen money to work on said stolen helo, and may or may not have used stolen per diem to pay for 5min with a questionally female possibly Filipino individual. Yet, believing all of that was theft, you did it anyways, and now you're claiming moral high ground? Bruh...

If you've read up on any of the India v China border skirmishes like the one below, they're pretty eye opening. India v China (bricks, bats, knives, and Lucille)

The merging of phase 3 with IFF is because they twiddled their balls for 30 years on getting a new trainer, refuse to retain experience thus exacerbating the fighter shortage, and then decided to grow their way out of the problem. All without a valid game plan of how to solve the first problem. Combining the two is theoretically supposed to shorten the overall UPT/IFF timeline. Wouldn't really say it's an issue of "wanting" to so something, moreso having no alternative they're willing execute.

An existential crisis is the only way I see a draft actually occurring based on current politics. With that in mind, would you rather your daughter be raped and abused by the chicoms or drafted to kill said chicoms. Either case is about as likely as the other in my opinion. I'd expect some Nanking esque or Operation Barbarossa scenarios from the chinese were they to make it on American soil. I'd like to see a proposition like this on a national ballot. If for nothing else it would be comical to see "journalists" such Rachel madow attempt to explain to viewers how drafting women is anti-feminist.

Below is the actual law (see the bold section). There was an amendment added that gives local municipalities the ability to padlock a store first, then get a court order after. I didn't find the legal verbiage for the amendment in my 6-9 sec. search. However, the link to the article which references the amendment is also below. I'm not engaging in a constitutional argument. I asked what law the officers broke. Based on my public school level of reading comprehension it seems like they adhered to the new stipulations of this specific law. I reserve the right to be proven wrong as we don't have all the data based on a short video (which is what prompted my question in the first place). If the argument is the NYPD and sheriff are acting like assholes here, I don't disagree. If you think the law and it's amendments are against the constitution, I'll leave that to ppl who wear robes and have a bunch of letters after their name. Section 133.23 Act is Relating to Unlicensed Activities. (a) The Office may issue a notice of violation and order to cease unlicensed activity to any person, as defined in section 40-a of the Cannabis Law, who is cultivating, processing, distributing or selling cannabis, cannabis product, cannabinoid hemp or hemp extract product, or any product marketed or labeled as such in this state, or engaging in an indirect retail sale, without obtaining the appropriate registration, license, or permit therefor. (b) In the event that the Office issues a notice of violation and order to cease unlicensed activity to a person: (1) that person must cease all cannabis or cannabinoid hemp related activity as described in subdivision (a) of this section; (2) the Office may seize any cannabis, cannabis product, cannabinoid hemp or hemp extract product, or any product marketed or labeled as such, found in the possession of a person engaged in the conduct described in subdivision (a) of this section; Article: NY State Operation Padlock

I'm not a fucking shop keeper in a state that sells cannabis, so no I don't know what the law says in this specific state. As much as I love reading platitude spewing rhetoric and questions highlighting my constitutional knowledge, maybe loosen your sphincter an RCH. Props to @uhhello for actually providing some positive insight in this situation. Maybe UTFSF (known as Google) next time before you blow a gasket.

That's the idea. The strain on the pipeline is already bad enough with the -38 eng issues etc., so there is no benefit in sending a buff bound dude to go do some BFM hacks. Not that there is a lot of benefit for anyone doing "BFM" in a -38.

Besides acting like assholes, are these officers violating a law? It sounds like they didn't have a warrant, but is there any back story here? Did they have probable cause for an "inspection"?

They took the back cover off of the UPT syllabus and the front cover off of the IFF syllabus and put them together. Expect your non-fighter dudes to do the standard UPT flying, and your fighter dudes to do the IFF sorties primarily. Most likely scenario is that the different IFF sortie types (BFM, BSA, etc.) will be a letter of X's thing.

I don't think any current US administration would openly condone mass genocide, chemical weapons use, etc., so obviously there is always going to be a red line regardless of party. The fact that they changed their tune somewhat when large numbers of protesters, that are made up of their voting base, started getting media attention is not surprising..for either party.

Quite a long way to say you want us to buy the gripen. Dude we're not buying gripens.

A few months ago there was some doubling down from a number of those individuals (not sure if it was in this thread). Most of those ppl seemed to either push the narrative because their "team" was pushing it, or they hoped if they acted like a good dog and spouted obedience above all they wouldn't get passed over...again...

You guys are missing out.

Miami is the OJ Simpson of criminal schools. Dirty on the field, dirty off the field. Been that way since at least Jimmy.

Gents, I'm all for healthy debate, but engaging with a known troll is pointless.

All of the things you've mentioned related to preserving medical job opportunities, vacation, etc. make me confident in the following statement: Regarding vacation, I can only speak for what I've seen and heard in the fighter world, but it is quite commom depending on your CC, DO, or WO. You're in an upgrade: don't take leave. You have to projo a TDY: don't take leave. We have an inspection to prep for, there is a base exercise, etc..dont take leave. I know a lot of bros that have lost leave due to these very things (myself included). I also know a few dudes that said, "F that noise my parents have never met their grandchildren so I'm taking leave to go see them." They were taken out of the upgrade, set as the lowest priority, or screwed in their next assignment. All this because they didn't show enough "commitment" based on when they took leave, or that they took it at all during the above events. My point is, this is not how the guard operates. This mindset of screwing over ppl for living their lives because it causes the bobs a minor inconvenience is one of many reasons if I could do it all over again I would never go AD. I'd go straight to the guard. You can still do TFI if you want to dip your toes in to see what active duty life is like.

Idk what your current qual is but I had a buddy do a -35 marine exchange following a viper tour and he was given lowest priority on upgrades (like he left as a 2E/section lead whatever). Phenomenal pilot, so not a skill issue. I've seen AF commanders treat guard dudes in TFI spots like this just because they, "didn't want to spend the resources on someone that would only be around for one assignment." I'd consider asking your functional who the last guy was to do an exchange and hit them up on the global. If you don't want to do that you can jump on the CAF Fighter Career Field FB page and ask. I know there's dudes on there that have done what you're looking into.

Isn't @Biff_T harvesting Cheetos in NorCal?

By this logic if you have a family member or two that's gay is it safe assume your whole family is a bunch of homos?

So if a pilot from "x" community crashes an airplane for something stupid, now all pilots from that community can't be trusted to fly? Similarly, if you had a CC from community "x" who was a dirtbag, now all ppl from that community are considered trash?

The 3 bobs on the command team are pilots, according to the SOS website.
