So, lets say they manage to get through all those hurdles without a FWA or contracting complaint and getting slammed. When it breaks...who's going to fix it. And when this shithead CC leaves...is it going to stay in place? I love it when I'm busy doing my cyber stuff and my CC tells me to learn how to formation fly a civ T-6 on my "other" time, without OG or MX assistance. Strongly encourage a FWA call...

About as classy as the rest of his actions. Was anyone actually "cool" with him at that point or was everyone done with his shit?

Not an iPhone guy. I do have a Pixel 1, and I love the stock (non-samsung) apps and constant security updates. It's the reason I got the phone. No carrier bloat-ware either. It was almost $1K upfront, but I think it was worth it in the end. I got all Android OS upgrades before any carriers and all security updates the day Google released them. I would also add I haven't had a "slow-down" or other performance dings like I have with carrier provided phones. At this point with any other smart phone I'd be looking to trade it in since it wouldn't stay connected to data for more than 30 mins. Pixel is humming along fine for weeks at a time. I've got nothing bad to say for Samsung, just that I prefer the HTC phones more. I believe you can get an unlocked phone straight from them, but I don't know how that'll work with your carrier for security updates and OS upgrades. Pixel 3 should be coming out in Oct, so I'd wait for that. It was a little pain the the ass to setup my pixel w/ Sprint, I had to go into the store once. After that and a few hours it worked fine.

CMSAF Enlisted Jesus did a AMA over on reddit - https://old.reddit.com/r/AirForce/comments/9ezg0x/im_cmsaf_wright_ask_me_anything/?author=CMSAF18KalethOWright

Have you read them all, do they hold up to the originals? I wasn't a fan when I heard about how they continued the series, but love the original Clancy books.

Not if you write the PD correctly, and hire correctly.

They have a kid together, so it's more a solid block than dodge.

Looks real - Updates (kinda) - Thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/ChoosingBeggars/comments/9a34sw/begging_for_a_wedding/ That's a good board to follow anyway, lots of stupid/entitled people.

Wasn't that DTS/GTC born off the good per diem change? I don't care to check back through the pages, find a 2Lt to do it.

I hope she took a good sample.

Making the HPO thing official, not sure if this goes in this thread, or in what's right for being open about it. https://www.airforcemag.com/Features/Pages/2018/August 2018/USAF-Seeks-to-Groom-Standout-Squadron-Commanders-.aspx

Good dude, good spot, good for all of us. https://www.acc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1608612/senate-confirms-new-acc-deputy-commander/

1) Fuck Chang 2) Any proof to these bullshit claims for promotion?

So, in non-staff-speak (correct if wrong): MAJCOMs ain't actually paying shit for your "new" contractors and are directing you to use "Innovation Funds" to cover it. Therefore getting credit for more contractors and utilization of "new funds" at the same time? Or that's just your MAJCOM?

As Chief of the Base Ops Uniform Board, I agree.

Just so we're clear, the guidance is: It's ok to screw-up, just don't do it publically.

So...never update the uniforms, or research new materials. Ok.

Legit was not expecting that author. Thanks for posting, good read.

Guess I'll be the only person who supports and thinks going back to something we had before McPeak is a good idea™. As someone who led Airman and had to wear the Service dress 4+ more times a year, going back to the 4 pockets I saw growing up would be fantastic. It's kinda legit heritage. Imagine if we get back to the Hap Arnold symbol with this leadership crew. Would you all complain that's a waste too? Sure, there's other things to focus on as well. But it's not like you're going to pull someone out of the uniform board, tell them to retain more Airmen and it'll have an impact.

The Meg, it's exactly what it appears to be. As long as you go into with those expectations, it's a simple, awful and fun movie. Note - I'm getting tired of every side-protagonist being Chinese. I get it, the market is huge over there and Movie executives gotta eat. But they had the Communist flag shown twice at the end of this flick, and no other flags shown at all.

That app's getting a lot of good news. If you like spicy investing meme's (mostly around options), and watching people lose money they don't have, check out - https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/ I laugh my ass of daily and enjoy the throwback language of the 90's.

Plus...civilians are "cheaper" in the long run.

Sorry, lack of clarity on my part, Surely got it right - I meant Cyber Warrant Officers. We haven't actually referred to our Patches as WO's strangely. Usually it's "Patch" or Weapons Officer...huh, just realized that. I don't think popping off space is going to make us integrate any more, or less effectively for cyber. I imagine there's going to be some of my ilk that cross over, and the Army and Marines will lose their chunk of personnel as well. From my perch, cyber integrates "Ok" now, and everyone wants it. So we have more conversations now than I've seen before. Some good (Oh, you can do X to their capes?) and some bad (What do you mean you can't hack the missile in flight?) . I'm not talking about NIPR, which is getting better as leadership has actually figured out you've got to pay for the systems to actually get jets off the ground.

Granted I'm institutionalized at this point, but I'm still not convinced a separate service is the right move for our domain at this point. There needs to be a lot of figuring out of authorities and everyone's hands in the pie for IT vs. Cyber Ops/Def. Space has a longer history, and once had their own command. I can't believe I'm writing this, but 468 days until I retire...so my give a cyber-shit is low. Plus I've had to argue with SSgt's/Lt's about why there's not going to be Cyber-WO's anytime soon, and they're convinced Enlisted Jesus is going to make it happen like OCPs.
