Sanity check - Should we buy our dream home?
So, I'll just say that if it's as lined up as you say and not a burden I'd probably pull the trigger myself. I'm older now, and the idea of finding a home I actually like, where I want to live is becoming my #1 priority.

Can you afford to not occupy it, have it sit there empty and require cleanup/home care while you're still gone?

Copy, no issues with Mueller or Rosenstein though. Source on the secret meeting w/ a FISA judge?

Are you saying that's weak as in pointless, or weak as in it didn't happen and some "deep state" is rising up against the anointed Prez? Just so we're clear, you're fine with some crimes getting prosecuted, but not others. So you're cool with the original Slick Willy issues while he was in office? Since you don't think lying to the FBI/investigators should be punishable.

Air Force Site Certificate
It's extra cyber-secure if even you can't access it.

Upgrade to Win10.

Apparently, we're all pretty stupid,...
Happiest disappointment of my life.

That Cyber Thread
Don't know if this goes here, or in the politics thread. But good read and more info into Russian influence ops - https://www.thedailybeast.com/exclusive-lone-dnc-hacker-guccifer-20-slipped-up-and-revealed-he-was-a-russian-intelligence-officer?source=twitter&via=desktop

Pilot Shortage Deepens, USAF is SCREWED.
Historically has Flight Commander been viewed as an additional duty/queep job? Figure that's the first time (senior-ish Capt) there's a little more management mixed in with the leading.

That Cyber Thread
So, Rocky Mountain AFCEA is in full effect this week. Basically the place all the GO's go to hobnob with their future employers and actually get work done. New AFSPC/CV preaching the truth about Cyber Ops Officers though - We've been offered a retention bonus and people still aren't staying that are worth much. Because there's the chance you'll get pulled off keyboard after your first/second assignment and go to a job that utilizes NONE of that experience. Plus we've still got Col's who think that we can't be a AFSC with "Have's and Have Not's." So from Cyber Ninja to Traditional Comm Sq should be looked at as good career progression, or to MAJCOM staff working the GO's cloud infrastructure project...or Win10 migration. We're all considered 17D's...which makes it easy for AFPC to move us around...because that's what's important.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Can confirm. Had a LtCol who was exec for a 4-star. He lost the keyed secure cell-phone in the O Club parking lot...in a foreign country (ok.. it was Ramstein). I tried to dissuade him, but he "wanted to get used to carrying it for the boss." Nada happened. BLACK pen, thank you.

Queep Contractors, we got some, do you?
Also, word on the former-Comm side is a lot of the execs were Comm O's as well. I remember my first assignment (still an E) the Wing King's Exec was Mx. Wasn't until mid-2000's it started looking like a "promotion opportunity." But I may be mis-remembering when it happened.

The new airline thread
How do any of you stay in past initial commitment is beyond me. The QoL alone is worth more than I can even justify in dollars.

The Next President is...
Was an interesting interview w/ Gov's Kasich (OH) and Hickenlooper (CO) about the coming election. I'm not sure we're going to see the fall of our party system, but the call out of the D's lack of a platform outside "not-Trump" is a problem. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-witnessing-end-party-system-republican-governor/story?id=53330459

Looks like the D memo got released. I'm sure it'll explain everything. After initial read - much better than the first memo, though the target was different. Answered a lot of the questions I had about timing, which the R memo "just seemed" to overlook. I'm growing less and less enamored with the Party I've voted for, for over 20 years. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/ig/ig00/20180205/106838/hmtg-115-ig00-20180205-sd002.pdf
