We've already gotten pressed that "this has high visibility" due to "national story" and we need to figure out how to modify the network to share our fingerprint database, other info. Little late now...

That is one thing they pointed out in the podcast "Serial." If he hadn't deserted it would have been an amazing story of survival.

Not a lawyer either, but our system has some peculiarities that might make this the actual case. Either way, I hold to a belief system that tells me not to judge. So I'm trying to do that in this situation, with middling success.

I don't know about now. But my first retail job wanted to know what kind of discharge you had on the application. I think there was also some commentary from the judge saying the comments of the President had to be taken into order when deciding this ruling. Same thing happened with Obama and the sexual assault convictions and undue command influence.

Thought this was a new topic and he was given no punishment. Whew...

Interesting observation. I felt it started of glacially (not a bad thing) and slowly gained speed.

There's some short films to tie the movies together with some of the things that were mentioned.

'Nother 3-star lets a buddy off. Prep yourselves. WTF is going on? https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/how-the-military-handles-sexual-assault-cases-behind-closed-doors/2017/09/30/a9df0682-672a-11e7-a1d7-9a32c91c6f40_story.html?utm_term=.1ca3cee77b63#comments

I would like this Air Force back please.

Just send it to JQP, he'll write it up and it'll ruffle some feathers enough something might happen.

Well.. not just this YG - https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/09/18/all-eligible-air-force-captains-to-be-promoted-to-major-for-next-three-four-years/ "Goldfein also said that promoting all qualified captains will mean squadron commanders won’t have to do the paperwork involved, which he said amounted to “a pretty significant administrative burden” and would free up considerable amounts of their time. Wilson also said that without these promotion boards, squadron commanders will have to step up and tell underperforming captains that they’re not cutting it. “If you’ve got a captain who really shouldn’t become a major, you need to step forward and say so, and not move it to some faceless promotion board,” Wilson said."

Negative. This is pushed from higher, with bad word-of-mouth if a unit/wing isn't putting in for these BS awards. I can say when I've been in positions to deal with these, everything we can "neg respond" on, we did. That was a pitiful number though.

Weird to see Rainman on here as a Guest account due to the update. Hope he's doing well.

Here's a possible reason - "Look, you guys got promoted! Please don't flee for the airlines/industry!"

This is cyber now. Everyone is all-in for the CC pool, no one can opt out if they have retainability.

Concur

We're in the new, longer version now. Guess I'll provide a review once complete. I will say that I'd much rather be here than the job I was working (Staff), so I'm going to be biased. If nothing else, I'm enjoying the time speaking with different pilots and other officers. I've been able to hang with some Hog, Viper, AFSOC, and C17 dudes and it's been very informative. I'm getting asked a ton of questions about Cyber. Everything else (re: class) is background noise to learning from my peers. We've been given a lot of social time so far. From some of your anecdotes it seems to have changed quite a bit in just 3~4 years. P.S. Thanks to this board, and RAINMAN, I can follow about 50% of the A10 conversations.

In SOS now and we were discussing this whole thing. Same thing happened to me when I received faulty treatment from a major surgery. Wing CC approved waiver, SOS denied it for same reasons. Now I'm still broke, but have to grit through it since it's the absolute last class I can do before my board.

Excuse me... that's "Cyber words" now.

Watched a Wing CC, CV, JAG, etc. deal with this at a base I was previously at. They spent an inordinate amount of time for 2 individuals to see how they could continue serving. For what...two more Airmen, compared to the Wing, it's mission, the other items they're required to cover by law? How are we going to deal with trans people downrange that forget their pills/shots, or host nation issues, GO1, etc.? I don't care outside of AF work, besides the insanity w/ the pronoun nonsense, and have known 2 that worked as civ's on base. 1 was nice, the other was an asshole who wore mini-skirts all the time. As a reminder - https://www.offutt.af.mil/News/Features/Display/Article/998356/transgender-airman-flies-high-with-new-af-policy/ Why the hell did he have to send this shit out on Twitter...

I know we don't talk the Enlisted stuff too much on here, but the new CMSAF just shat all over the outgoing idiot's EPME "revolution." Everyone should have gotten that email today.

If you need a rule to auto-sort these to deleted items so you don't even see them, let me know.

Cheetos and War Games in a single thread? You guys finally get us!

How. Hard. Was. That. Holy shit.

Fantastic article, well thought out and supported by facts. It will therefore be dismissed out of hand by out General Officers, because it's "not how they did it."
