  1. https://nypost.com/2023/01/12/canadian-school-demands-dress-code-after-trans-teacher-controversy/ I found out the problem with the education system here in Murica. We need more "extremely effective" teachers like this good hearted woman. "What is a woman? I don't know."- Party of Science.
  2. Some people are into pain for pleasure.
  3. 😆 🤣 😂
  4. Do you have to be married to take the 12 weeks of baby leave? If not, you could go to your favorite SE Asian country, Eastern Europe, Colombia and etc..to raw dog some chicks a few times a year. Have them popping out kids like a factory, getting a few extra months off a year. Dudes like Nick Cannon, with 12 kids, would have a lot of time to relax on Uncle Sugar's dime. The secret is not having the babies in the US. That way you can avoid child support. You can use the bonus to help pay for all of the travel costs. Lol
  5. Standing by for them to find out that he's really been dead since 2019 and they've been pulling a "Weekend at Bernie's" on us this whole time.
  6. "Air Missions". What if you're not doing a mission? Maybe it's just a training sortie. I'm offended that they assume everyone that is flying is performing an operational mission. That's cultural appropriation. Really? Airmen is offensive? They should have changed it to Notice to Flying Genderless Humanoids. Fking Nerds Afterthought: Special consideration required operating the air machines, or simply SCROTAMs would ensure that nobody gets gender involved with flying duties. Make sure to check the SCROTAMs before you step.
  7. Body by AMC. Lol They should've brought back the bike test. Nothing quite like getting an excellent immediately after smoking a few Marlboro Red 100s.
  8. Some jackass turned on the sprayers without having the CSO scan for cameras. There will be an FCIF released.
  9. She's definitely an Enid 10!
  10. Lol You can take the CSO out of the Navigator but you can't take the Navigator out of the CSO.
  11. "And she lets me know that she loves me hard"- Brad My favorite quote
  12. https://nypost.com/2023/01/03/we-met-working-at-walmart-and-cheated-on-our-spouses-you-should-follow-your-heart/ This is a warm hearted love story about cheating on your spouses while working at Walmart.
  13. Snake Plissken is ready
  14. Major Tom
  15. But you may be asked to pull someone's finger in the cockpit....lol
  16. I agree with you FLEA. But......lol Isn't PME supposed to take care of the education? Edit: I'm only a tactical level dude but shouldn't new Lts focus on flying? Not a a BS degree that means nothing.. it only takes up more time away from their aircraft and personal time. Why get a useless degree as an aviator unless you are in the plan? The AF has PME to educate future leaders. They should use it. Making your officers get an additional degree kind of says PME isn't as good as an online masters from Dip N Dots.
  17. I didn't get my masters (didn't get promoted either lol). I think it's more important to leadership than knowing how to fly. Except, in the civilian world. Nobody cared about a masters for my multi-engine, ATP or type rating. In my limited time at the regionals, not a single Capt asked me about what degree I was pursing or if i did my SOS via correspondence or in residence. They were talking about how the airlines work, how to do the IRONMAN TWO into LAX and how to get into the Majors. For the most part, nobody cared about what I did as an officer, other than my aviation experience and hours. I got treated the same as the 22 year old CFII in my class. If I sucked, they let me know. My sim partner, a civillian who I thought was a good pilot, failed his ATP checkride in the morning SIM with the same Evaluator I was scheduled with in the afternoon. I didn't find out about it until the next morning when the Chief Pilot met with us to welcome us to Compass. He wasn't at the table with us and the Chief Pilot. 2 out of the 5 guys in my class failed their ATP/Type Rating. Once again, the civilian world doesn't care what you did before as an officer. They care about how to "fly" (manage the FMS and AP lol) not about how you were the General's aide with a Masters in butt licking.
  18. When people figure out how to do this, they usually have a better life. We think we're so important. A lot of people forget that we are all going to die. In the end, none of this bullshit matters. We're on a spinning rock, floating through an expanding universe, which at this moment, I'm not thoroughly convinced that anybody knows how the universe got here in the first place. Drink a cold Busch Light and relax. Life is short. You never know when you might hit the dirt upside down.
  19. Lloyd, I think we're all on the same page. Nobody is advocating for abortion and deadbeat dads. We're highlighting the hypocrisy of this issue in America. A woman can kill her unborn child and go to Applebee's right after. She's not held to the same standard as a man who doesn't want his child. If a drunk driver kills a pregnant woman and her child, they can charge the drunk driver for 2 counts. Why is one murder/manslaughter and the the other not? That is the question.
  20. Evil is in the eye of the beholder. I'd say that some of the Iraqis we killed during the invasion might call us evil. Even their families might think of us as evil to this day. Dropping the nukes on Japan might be seen as evil to some people. The profession of war is pretty gnarly. We're dancing on the line between good and evil everytime we send 18 year olds to kill with rifles. I got paid a decent wage to participate in war. I didn't do it for free and sure the 9/11 patriotism was flowing through my veins at the time OEF/OIF kicked off, but I joined before 9/11 to have fun and earn a paycheck. Am I evil? Some might say so. I willingly joined the profession of arms for fun and a paycheck. In the end we all have to live with our consciences. Even the lady who aborts her child. In my opinion, the evil ones don't care about what they did.
  21. I remember my MX supervisor telling me that he'll be waiting for me when I fail out of Boom training. This was a few days before I left for training. It was said when we were alone (no, he didn't touch me) and he was dead serious. 15 years later, I flew through Hill, flying my Huey as a pilot. I didn't see him waiting. As a pilot, leadership at the squadron was upset when I wanted to be a pilot first. Being a prior sweaty, I could easily make it to retirement without doing queep. I flew my best but didn't do extra things. I wrote awards for my airmen, I helped several of my dudes with their OTS packages (a few are USAF pilots now) and took care of them as best I could. However, I didn't take care of myself. I refused to write awards for myself and I really thought I'd get that easy promotion to O-4. The other thing I did was play my cards too early. Don't let leadership know your intentions. I was passed over for the first time, when I was the Chief of Stan/Eval. In my 17th year on AD, I volunteered for a 365 in hopes that I could stay at my last duty station so my son could graduate high school at the same place that he started. I was denied because I had previous deployments and they had a volunteer who needed a deployment for experience. I was at 18 years when they said no to the high school senior deferment program. They realized that I was passed over and would be forced to retire at 20 and they still PCSd me. My family stayed in place for my son, who went to 8 different schools, could graduate with his friends. When I PCSd for the last time, I went as geographically separated bachelor. As a passed over O-3E, I got to fly as much as I wanted (😃). I took as many TDYs as I could. On one such TDY, my commander told me I was on the shortlist for a 365. Later that night,when I was pounding a few brews, I mentioned it to some of of the other pilots and two of them essentially fought to take my non-vol. The same non-vol that I volunteered for a year earlier. Two months after I retired (forced out for failure to promote), I received a letter from my CC informing me that I had finally made Major. He wrote, "Sorry Biff, too little too late". I never failed a checkride as a pilot (hooked my first MSN check as a boom). I never got a dui or into any trouble 😉 that required paperwork. I took care of my people as a NCO and as a CGO. My last supervisor was a Lt in my flight a few years prior. When I got out, I got my ATP and flew for Compass (God rest her soul). After Compass, I decided I had enough of being gone and elected to work very little and enjoy my time with my family. In the end, don't trust leadership to look after you if you don't play along. Also, you'll definitely enjoy life if you decide to get out.
