If a critical comment was rejected un-adjudicated then that is still a MAJCOM failure since critical comments essentially mean the MAJCOM/CC non-concurs with the reg as written. However, at least in A3, most of the MAJCOM “critical” comments are admin comments at best...and when queried about the comment the MAJCOMs usually say that they don’t really care about it but some GS-11 thought it was important. Not defending the other HAF weenies, but there is blame to go around if MAJCOMs truly did critical comment this change to the AFI.
