  2. Until they figure it out and then suddenly you owe $6,900 in back taxes and subsequently have your entire paycheck garnished because you know, no one has bills to pay or needs money for food.
  3. I've followed FIRE for many years, they do good work defending students from colleges that overreach their power and seek to destroy constructive and free speech that doesn't conform to their ideology.
  4. You're right the current people never have, it'd been what 5 years since the last one? They've all PCS'd or retired by now, reinventing the wheel, one of our (the AF's) best talents.
  5. Do you honestly believe any Congressman/Senator would have been able to do anything for him if he remained in this country? He would probably end up pigeon-holed in some federal prison till it blew over and we would probably know little to nothing, especially since our own government agencies can lie to or ignore congress. He was going to those countries because our allies wouldn't touch him, doesn't leave many places left to go.
  6. I was thinking on the same lines as you; however, you confused me when you said "the same matrix applies".
  7. Yeah I saw that too, and it didn't make sense to me either, but then again there's not much about this whole process that makes sense.
  8. From PSDM 13-131: "The FY14 FSB will consider officers in the grade of Captain and First Lieutenant in the 2009, 2010, and 2011 accession year groups (as computed by Total Active Federal Commissioned Service Date (TAFCSD)." So it looks like you are safe, for now.
  9. "One in three lawmakers wants to repeal cuts to military pensions" https://thehill.com/blogs/defcon-hill/budget-appropriations/194416-one-in-three-lawmakers-wants-to-repeal-military Well only 1/3 want to reverse the cuts, looks like we are screwed.
  10. So because his own country decided it wanted to keep breaking the law and therefore our allies wouldn't help him, just where was he supposed to go? I'm just trying to understand what exactly you would have liked him to do considering you admit the IG route wouldn't have worked.
  11. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-u-waived-laws-keep-f-35-track-204531422--sector.html I'm sure this won't add anymore delays to the production.
  12. Well then all the rated guys in those year groups are safe if you use the Voluntary Matrix.

    Firefox for computer and an iPad, maybe I'm just dumb and missing it. I'll look some more.

    DFRESH, is there anyway to change the voting to allow for people to change their vote if they fat-finger it? Also in case it hasn't been said enough, thanks for the awesome work in keeping the site working!
  15. Thanks, and of course no fucking matrix on the MyPers website.
  16. Anyone gotten eyes on the PSDM 13-131, the FSB for those in the 3-6 year range?
  17. Call bullshit on decertifying one of those locations, if you have to wear body armor I think is a good enough reason to receive IDP (granted it doesn't take place for another 6 months).
  18. Sorry just wanted to point this out, he fully admits he was young and dumb. Frankly I enjoy listening to him and his story about when he was young, because I and many young people can relate. He made all those mistakes that young people today make and it bit him hard. However, he got his shit together and recovered; personally I dont mind taking financial advice from someone that has been there and done that. I'm not a fanatic follower but for people literally drowning in debt his methods are simple and work.
  19. I would say considering how broken the whistleblower system is only considering his initial actions, he should be granted immunity; as for his subsequent actions that is open to debate.
  20. Only if you like watching your kids getting groped for the illusion of security. 7 Reasons the TSA sucks from former head of security of Ben Gurion Airport
  21. Agreed however in SERE school you aren't a man without a country or being hunted by the most powerful country on the planet. I'm not saying what he did was right with the later leaks, and whatever the discussion was I still think they were to get the U.S. government to stop pursuing him. The more they pushed the more damaging information he released, its an international poker game. I'm surprised that some of you place so much blame on Snowden, what about those in the government that instead of correcting the problem decided to pursue him. This thing blew up in the governments face because they weren't willing to uphold the law in the first place or after they were expose. Snowden should have been offered whistleblower protection and the government should have shutdown the illegal programs. Now instead we have a person sitting in a not so friendly country with massive amounts of classified data. *****Break Break***** Admins, perhaps this is better moved/continued in the Liberty and Rights thread?
  22. No but there are now investigations and lawsuits, and a judge recently declared their actions unconstitutional. Let's also not forget there is now a steadying stream of info to the public about the extent of their work, to include intercepting purchased electronics to load a back door in the software, no warrant needed. I'm not ready to put Snowden on the hero pedestal yet, however, what he did blew wide open a door to illegal activity. Do I think it's stopped? No, especially with those currently in power in the executive and legislative branches providing top cover. However, it significantly pissed off a lot of people in all corners of the political spectrum. I do not advocate the mass dumping of classified data like Bradley Manning did, however, Snowdens initial release was targeted to specific illegal activity. His later ones I believe were out of self preservation, to get the U.S. government to leave him alone, since they were obviously more interested in protecting their power than the legality of their program. I had a little more faith that officers still held their oaths to the constitution above the emotional "security" actions that brought us the patriot act, DHS and TSA.
