Why anyone would say anything military/work/political related on FB at this point....especially as an officer. Delete that shit.

Yea fair...don't know why I didn't write that, I knew it, stupid me. Still...don't think you can call it the "silent majority." Hillary was the worst...everything ever. So, I do not expect the same thing unless Biden has a fucking stroke on stage and they forgot to tie his hand to a line so some staffer off stage can wave it up and down.

He didn't win the majority of votes?

Space Force....damn good.

Yea, at least for former CMSAF E-9 Cody, there was a very telling difference between what he presented and what the ground truth was. It took about 36-months for it to come out across the force. Haven't gotten the same thing for Fingers at all.

Chuck covered what I've seen in my rapidly dwindling career. I'm an "also ran" who isn't going to stick it out because the AF decides I can't do "X Job" until I've paid certain dues. Being a DO fucking ruined this for me. I've had to explain to my young CGO's repeatedly that I'm not a HPO/Unicorn/whatever even with really good strats and good jobs. Doubly so since the outgoing Group/CC fucked me with no-strat last OPR, so glad that prick retired. When a group/cc strats a Capt to keep a streak alive despite the Sq/CC saying he don't deserve it...you know it's time to hang it up. With 18-days left to terminal my family and I have decided not to play for a multitude of reasons. But the number one I'm seeing now is being able to tell someone I'm not interested in a job/location and there's nothing they can do about it. And if I ever run into someone unable to manage as that former group/cc I can ask for an insane amount of money, or walk. It just wasn't worth it to stick around 7-more years (min. 3 moves) before retiring in grade as a O5 "hopefully" to be closing out as a Sq/CC trying to find a job at almost 50. Only thing keeping me was the basically-zero possibility of BPZ.

Here in South TX because "dagnamit ain't no gubment gonna tell me" I now have to do the grocery shopping. People will not maintain any distance or wear masks/facecovering. In fact, they're even more prone to get close to you than before (if you're wearing a mask) to "prove how much they don't care." Wife had to yell at some old dude crossing the floor lines to check out repeatedly and coughing. All these fake ass cowboys, not one bandana to tie around their dumb ass grills. On the news was a dude who "wouldn't ever take orders from no store help, he's a man" and posted about it all over Instagram. (HEB is fantastic though, I now get the "close the commissary" comments we had a few years ago.) City shut down the large gatherings...Governor opened back up the churches.

Another blast from the past in here, whatever happened to Jill Metzger?

I don't think it'll happen, but if it did that would be amazing for that service.

I've read the letter three times and this is what I've come out to now. I do the classified reporting for my unit, and this didn't even touch on anything classified. Everybody's fall back is that the letter "put operations at risk" but I haven't seen that at all.

40 days to terminal...can't catch me! Also, our Shirt said in today's Sq sync that he wanted to throat punch whoever put that out. Shirt's going to fit in fine.

Damn. For us no fliers - NDI and eject the chocks?

Well...that's going to go well. Here's a fun one with sailor commentary (aka yelling) at certain portions. My fav @ 1:58 - "What the fuck?"

Great, wear a fucking mask since there's a ton of people who are asymptomatic and don't even know. They're not dumbasses since we can't even get tests to most of the folks with some of the symptoms. They wouldn't test any of my Airmen/buddies who didn't have all the symptoms: One dude had all of them but the fever..."no test, not COVID-19." One dude's wife is positive, no test for the rest of the family, they only had fevers and slight cough..."no test, not COVID-19." Another guy had all the symptoms, not healthcare worker..."no test, not COVID-19." Buddy in another Sq, all symptoms and had to get carried into the ER, not healthcare worker, "no test, not COVID-19." He had to have his family carry him to the bathroom he was so exhausted. More data will become available and we'll adjust. Acting like something isn't a perfect solution so why try...are you a Col/GO? This whole thing is the greatest example of "it's not about you" and give a shit about your fellow human being.

Used in a hospital, targeting at health care workers in high risk wards...no shit it was worse. Does the study break down cloth masks w/ respirators and other PPE? Do they have a controlled study of walking around Walmart with a mask? Maybe it "can" make things better. At the minimum it's a reminder we're not ops normal, and to take hygiene seriously. Given folks are asymptomatic it "can" help out in the wild of the non-hospital ward, just don't touch your face.

Any cloth covering. I'm sure the shoe clerks will decide coyote-brown is the only approved color. Cause they can make it more restrictive you know

This impacts me directly. I'm slated to retire 1 Aug, with terminal starting late May. I fully expect it to happen and think it's probably the right call if we're "maintaining mission readiness." I'll always love this country, and I'll be grateful to the AF for my opportunities...even if she's a fickle bitch quite often. That being said...if I don't get moved to a job where I can legit telework 90% of the time and not be hassled by the Bob's asking me to line up shit on a ppt better I'm going to start having "discipline issues."

I can't like your post. So here -

Can someone tell me what that is? Do they mean the Comm squadron, because that's not fucking "cyber."

So, not sure if there's gouge on here. I applied for retirement, got orders, finished TAP this week (for the second time.) However, now all the places I need to outprocess are closing and the medical follies flight is cancelling anything below urgent treatment. Stop-Loss would be ok (especially w/ the PT test waived)...I just don't want the hurry up and wait and then gotta move ass on fire and sell back leave.

Is that for yall air-breathing types only? Also, holy shit.

Holy balls this is like dealing with CYBERCOM. CYBERCOM - "We own you 24/7, and you need permission to do ADCON duties." When we ask what we're supposed to do if we're not "operating" we get this: O5-O9 - "Sprinkle some CyberOps over there." Tactical/Ops Minion - "Yes sir, what's the effect you'd like?" O5-O9 - "CyberOps?"

People don't seem to grasp that the health care system is also a finite resource. Read the articles and look at the videos that came out of China a few months ago.

We face the same thing now. We've got 'operational' GO's who don't think certain exercises are a good idea because they're not operational enough. Like...wtf.

Do you think the fringe will take this as a clue to back the fuck off shit like...gendered language, and dick on chicks is cool?
