Now shots have been fired!

Ever heard of American Military University? And I can attest from firsthand experience that an online grad degree has been beneficial. In fact, my company actually paid for mine, despite already having one when I was hired.

SAPD is hiring, and pays well... https://sapdcareers.com/ And you can always try at the 433rd Airlift Wing... https://www.433aw.afrc.af.mil/Portals/115/Documents/AFD-130628-074.pdf https://bogidope.com/job-listings/68th-airlift-squadron

Anyone know why 2 & 4 were shut-down?

It is when the AF is the host, and own and run the networks...

WTF?

I did look at them, all the time. While much of what we do is archived in our final reports and outbriefs, there was still a lot of mission info that resided in those emails. I constantly got questions about details that I could find in those emails, but now they're gone. But not my problem, it was the government's responsibility to maintain those archives and now they've lost them. I guess if Hillary could get away with it, they felt they could as well...

That ain't shit. Earlier this year our PST files got schwacked. Nearly 12 years of archived emails gone in a flash. Now the kicker, turned out our J6 wasn't backing them up...

From RAF Banter .... If the Americans had to drop the A-Bomb in the 21st century...

Maybe he just didn't like the in-flight magazine.... On a side note, the dudes does resemble Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad quite a bit!

Awwww...that's a Westie in the middle! We have two of them now, and have had more in the past. Great dogs!

Damn.

Status quo?

Truly WTF! 😎 Woman Furiously Poops on the Floor of Restaurant, Throws it at Employees

That's how all this shit started in the first place (but to be fair, it was the Marines who started it)... And the ABU has always been an embarrassment. The USAF is back to having a decent utility uniform. I think it's a smart move, but I am sure some future CSAF will fuck it up.

Only one set are tax free, just like DV tags...

Jeez, of all the things to bitch about, this is pretty low on the list... It doesn't bother me that someone with three months of service is leaving San Antonio and getting to board ahead of the boatload of retirees who did 20+ years any more than it does someone in uniform going to the head of the line during one of my rare visits to the commissary. Those perks were offered to us when we were in uniform, and it was our choice whether to use them or not. Nor do the free tags bother me, and you see a ton of them here in "Military City USA" (as S.A. likes to proclaim itself). If the state wants to offer free tags to certain individuals, that's their decision. At least the recipients did something to earn the perk, unlike many other government benefits. However, I will agree on the overhead bin issue. I am getting sick and tired of being told I need to stuff my small backback under the seat in front of me because some buffoon who is bringing half of what they own onto the plane needs to stick their obviously over-the-limit sized roller bag into it because they also need to jam their backpack under their seat. Tough shit, if the airline isn't going to enforce their own rules I am not going to reduce the meager legroom I am already getting because someone can't check their shit like the rest of us! When people thank me for my service, I just smile and thank them back. They are trying to be nice and I sure as hell am not going to piss in their Wheaties for it. Only a complete jackass would do so. Such gestures are getting less and less common in our society these days, so if someone feels compelled to show a little appreciate towards a servicemember than I for one will be grateful to them. Cheers! M2

Saw it sober (unfortunately) and it was worth the price of admission. It doesn't surpass the original. They try to, and score some solid laughs; but some other efforts to be funny unfortunately fall short. Maybe I'm just getting old...

UPDATE from sources: "Info on the Raptor mishap at Fallon: The slide happened on takeoff. Appears to have been a left engine flameout when the pilot throttled up to take off. By the time he realized the engine was dead, he had already been airborne for a few seconds and raised the gear. The jet bounced for around 1500 feet, and then slide for about 5000 feet. They got it off the ground and on its landing gear last night, so the runway is clear. Chain is wanting it to be quiet still. It's very fresh obviously. But it's looking like the second engine failure on Elmo jets in a 7 day period."

And how much trouble did Obama get in for doing the same?!?

I owned four properties during my career, and am still living in the last one I bought. As long as you realize a "dream home" is usually a 90-95% match of what you are looking for, and buy smartly, it can be an excellent investment. I did well on all of my properties! Cheers! M2

Sounds like your answer. If it is your "dream home," then why wouldn't you buy it?

I wouldn't take anything posted on Military.com as official, even if quoting "Enlisted Jesus"... The USAF is already producing enlisted RPA drivers, which will be the extent of it. If anything, expect that pipeline will expand. Nothing else.

Or no one was killed by cancer, or died in an auto accident, or got sick from eating Tide pods...
