1-star fired as head of Ariz. Air Guard
I'd guess lack of turnover. No matter how bad you piss off your boss on active duty, one or both of you will be gone in a year or two. In a different situation, the incentives to keep quiet about buffoonery are stronger because you have nowhere to go.

Fucking disgusting. How many guys this dipshit recruited are spreading through the force, thinking this criminality is "normal"? I hope they crush this dude.

Military Academies - Infantilised Universities or Laboratories of Leadership
That would require a measuring instrument which accurately reflects reality, which the OPR does not. You would also have to control for graduates of the various commissioning sources showing favoritism to their own, whether consciously or not.

Enlist or go to college?
Yes. No. Oh fuck yes. If you want to be a pilot, make that your goal in life. I know a couple dozen people who went to USAFA, exactly 1 of them would do it again if they had it to do all over again. Take that for what it's worth. OTS is a few months of bullshit, USAFA is a few years of bullshit, learn how to do math then make your decision.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
I wouldn't be surprised. We had a mentally ill guy end up on top of a construction crane several years ago in Atlanta. The geniuses in the police department decided the proper way to handle this was to shine spotlights at him and surround the scene with several cars with lights and sirens going while the cloud of news helicopters hovered nearby so they could get a better view. That ended about as well as you would expect. I wonder how much we affect these events by covering them on the news.

You should advertise the medals in this thread.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
The problem is that TVs everywhere (waiting rooms, airports, etc) tend to be tuned to the news since it safe for work/children. And dudes splattering their brains all over the side of the highway is a definitely not PG. That said, at least dude spared taxpayers spared the expense of a trial.

Report Slams Military's Recent Camouflage Uniforms
The worst is the Navy camo, assuming it works. If you fall overboard, how are they supposed to find you? Seriously. You don't need camo because noone is aiming at you, they're aiming for the FUCKING BOAT.

FTFY. Apparently they just got lucky with the timing on this movie. As always, better to be lucky than good.

No. IFS exists to benefit the Air Force, not you. Get your PPL.

If you're headed to OAKN, there is a shop or two on the boardwalk that can make it for you there.

Gen Welsh - USAF Chief of Staff
That depends entirely on whose opinion you give a shit about. He should have abolished Blues Monday in his speech right after taking the guidon. He should have ripped off that hideous drum-major uniform like Hulk Hogan shredding a yellow tank top to display the flightsuit beneath. THAT would have been leadership.
