34-219 doesn't really say fuck all about it... https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/afi34-219/afi34-219.pdf 36-2903 only says you you can't wear bags or ACUs in any place that primarily sells alcohol for consumption on the premises. 31-207 states airmen "will not consume any form of alcohol or use over the counter drugs or prescription medications that could impair ability to handle a firearm while on duty, or within 8 hours before duty or firearms training." So drink up, gentlemen!

Thanks, I've been trying to run down some leads a buddy of mine at Offutt suggested. You wouldn't think it would be that tough to replace it, but it's beginning to look that way! Cheers! M2

Gents Looking for a little help in righting a wrong... The Bentwaters Cold War Museum (https://www.bcwm.org.uk/) in the UK was the victim of a theft of two patches recently, and I was hoping someone on here could help replace one of them. It is a 'Got Nukes?' patch with a 'Nuclear Operations' tab at the bottom... Believe it is a AFGSC patch, definitely post-Cold War but at this point that's not the point. The point is some fucktard stole it (they actually moved a close circuit TV camera prior to gabbing it) and this excellent museum, run by volunteers who work hard to preserve the memory of USAF personnel who lived and worked at the Twin Bases, is now without it. Here is a local news report on the theft... https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/cold_war_museum_pleads_for_return_of_missing_exhibits_1_4685327 eBay has the patch without the tab, but I would like to find an exact replacement. Any help in doing so would be gratefully appreciated! Cheers! M2

In fact, memorize this...

Been wanting a Henry from a long time, found a Frontier in .22S/L/LR in near-pristine condition for $300. Not my photo, but mine is identical to it... Of course, later that day the upstairs air conditioner goes TU and I have to drop $8500 on a new one! :P Cheers! M2

Another awesome video of the AK-47 in action from Larry Vickers!

Concur. It's not doing much on here other than promoting what is now a paid website. While a few posts in that section generate discussion such as Top brass plan incentives to fix fighter pilot shortage and Internal Email Shows Air Force Pilot Shortage at “CRISIS” Level, the vast majority have zero responses. I believe the intent was to discuss issues on BaseOps, as such it's not achieving that objective, so I would be agreement with removing it. Most folks on here are aware of the blog, and if they're so inclined, they can follow it directly. I don't see the purpose of repeating its topics on here, especially given how much it's changed...

BQZip?

Not sure if this means she's a keeper or not...

This outlines the process pretty well...and it's pretty much the same for civilians as it is for active duty... https://www.military.com/veteran-jobs/security-clearance-jobs/official-security-clearance-guidelines.html

I am a bit confused, why would your company not want to process your clearance? It should not have any affect on your clearance once you get on active duty. You are correct in that while you have completed your TS background investigation, you technically don't have a clearance until you are in a position that requires one. However, you are eligible for one that your current company would submit you for. Once that is done, you'll "read in" for the clearances you need and once approved, you should be G2G. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss offline. Don't bother with your ROTC det as they simply help you complete the necessary paperwork. Your company security officer or SSO would be your best point of contact. Cheers! M2

Why am I not surprised at the resurrection of this thread because of the FBI decision on Hillary? But these recent comments would probably be more appropriate in the 'WTF?' thread...

At least now we know what Rainman's been up to!

How in the fuck is he not in jail?!? I guess Clinton isn't the only one with a golden goose... And lastly, but far from least, get your finger off the fucking trigger!
