Yeah he apparently sued a bunch of guys (one I know) as part of his claims against this major, problem was this guy never even heard of the major. Cost him thousands of dollars fighting the case.

The dude in the background.

looks like a nav...since we don't have them I don't forsee a problem

I think they give you or you can purchase a Martin Baker Bremont watch with you ejection seat serial number engraved on it. I remember talking with the T-6 stud that ejected at Laughlin 2 or 3 years ago about it.

This dude is batshit crazy, KC-135 Nav (go figure). I know a guy he went after as part of this story, dude didnt even know the major, cost him all sorts of money in a civil suit.

About the best place I could find for this. Not sure if there's anybody on here with autistic kids but it doesn't sound like this has been widely disseminated. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/07/16/tricares-new-autism-policy-raises-concerns.html

I and just about everyone I know must fall into the 0.24% because 9/10 there's always something screwed up on mine and my buddies vouchers or pay (had a friend promote and his paycheck was less than what he was making at his previous rank). The person that did the audit was probably the same person that's making Liquid's and GC's manning charts.

"DFAS said pay errors are extremely rare. Based on a self-audit, it said, its accuracy for pay and calculation of benefits for military personnel in the nine months through July 2012 was 99.76 percent. The agency also said it had undergone partial audits for pay accuracy by the inspector general of the Defense Department and by the GAO." Biggest load of bullshit, No offense to Finance Guy, I know you work hard to make sure your job is done right. On another note where is his leadership on this, not one word from his CO or NCOIC in the entire article. This is as much a failure of leadership as it is a failure of the bureaucratic system.

I thought that was what flight engineers were for, and now you're saying we need booms too? We're gonna have more people on a crew than the C-5s before long.

No what I think he is saying (and I agree with) is the state takes the evidence it has and chooses what charge that crime fits. Then they must charge and subsequently prove in court those charges, if they want to end it early or don't think they can win, they can always offer plea bargains to lesser charges. However this idea that they can just start throwing in lesser charges for the jury to consider at closing arguments because they failed to make their original charge is asinine.

Thats definitely an odd WTF. Best I can figure, it looks like the NSA has been gathering your data.

Is your car registered on base? Had a buddy who was trying to register his car on base for tags and was told he has to do this also before he could get his tags. Well since we are a joint base I told him to go to the army side and try to register it there, they didn't give a crap and gave him his tags.

Liquid like LookieRookie and Rusty have said. I'm fresh out of UPT and PIQ, with less than 6 months at my ops squadron. I showed up to my squadron as a 2LT, you know what question I've heard talked about most by the other LTs? Masters and PME. If I had a dollar for everytime I've been asked if I have started my masters yet, I could probably retire (not really but close). I'm was a fricken 2Lt! I would laugh and say no and I'm not starting any time soon, because I'm going to fly and master my new MWS. Guess what the response was? Well it's to going to get any easier as time goes on, you're going to get a desk job blah blah blah. This is the culture that exists now at the junior CGO levels, people caring more about how quickly they can knock out their masters or sign up for SOS in-cor. Once they made captain select than when they are going to upgrade. I have no shit had people tell me they wish they were as proficient as proficient in the jet for as many hours as they had but they've spent all their time on their masters than studying the Dash 1. I watch people polishing their papers during breaks on mission planning days. I had friends that enrolled in masters classes the week after pinning their wings, and were doing masters while at PIQ. You can say bad on them for not becoming better pilots but like someone else just mentioned and had been shown to me time and again your flying ability has nothing to do with your promotion. And then when you say no I'm going to actually wait on that stuff because Im still a butter bar (or brand new 1LT) you get told in a nice way you should do it now because it only gets harder. I'm currently deployed and I here more people talk about how behind they are on their masters papers or running to their rooms as soon as we land so they can knock out their homework, than anything about flying. Add this to many experienced guys who you want sitting in the squadron bar on a Friday afternoon teaching new LTs like me, all talking about airline applications or dropping papers and walking over to the reserves. So now you have a lot of experienced guys looking to punch at the first chance and all the fresh blood more worried about box checking than flying. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see this ending up well. And also before you say anything about what my squadron commander is doing, he is doing exactly what he should IMHO, educating us on the career progression but emphasizes flying first. That is all great except the CC before him apparently had a hard on for masters degrees even among the brand new guys and everyone knows that's our current CC isn't going to be here much longer and so it's "better" to go ahead and plan for the worst (i.e. another CC with a hard on for masters) than get caught with their pants down. Again just a lowly LT, I think you don't really understand just how far down this mentality your peers have created has gone.

Looks like M2 went all out this year.

No gun involved but one of the many reasons I love the Midwest. https://www.news9.com/story/22751588/tulsa-homeowner-ties-up-man-attempting-to-break-into-his-home

The Washington post and AP both had articles mentioning non-essential personnel leaving.

FIFY

On second thought looks like we can BRAC the rest of our nuke bases.

There are certain areas (I.e. liberal states) that have gun friendly laws but not gun friendly people. You were in TX, I'm pretty sure if you had done something like that in other states you probably would have the SWAT team rolling up. Are all cops bad? Hell no, however a little SA about the current gun climate of the area makes the difference. There are enough videos of cops trying to strong arm citizens into turning over their weapons "to be checked" or forced to present ID, that while the golden rule works 99% of the time that video could be the difference between you walking away free or going to jail based on the accusations of a bad cop.

It's a "shall" issue law. As for reciprocity I doubt there will be any reciprocity, but one step at a time.
