I was an exec in my first squadron and a laptop went missing. I got a call from OSI asking me to come over they wanted to chat. I was completely naive mainly because I didn't take the laptop and thought that was obvious. I truly thought they wanted help figuring out when it went missing. I walked in and they took me to an interrogation room where good cop bad cop immediately started. It was very apparent they wanted me to confess. The idiot even said "I know you took it, how about you explain to me why I shouldn't;t think you took it. I replied, "first, you already screwed up because you are recording this and never read me my rights...second, my career as a pilot is not worth a laptop and none of your horseshit is goign to change me answer. He looked extremely butt hurt, then read me my rights. Asked another question and got the same answer. You can go now. It was like they were reading (poorly), off a script.

I know several GOs who made BPZ for doing far worse than "Mild Petting".

Get out and go Guard or Reserve. I absolutely understand what you are saying...I saw it time and time again. Many times it is luck and timing other times it is the broken system that is our USAF. In UPT a dude in our sister class got a DUI AND tried to fight the cops, he still graduated top 3. He was also a complete Chode but he was an academy grad (as was his father), and a lot of senior people stepped in to influence the process. It was blatant and soured a lot of people. In other cases we see people like Fat Tony not only survive but thrive despite ruining careers and extreme narcissism. It is not fair. A CJO is a great thing for you and your family, a fresh start but I can almost guarantee you will see things in your airline career that will anger you and make you shake your head in disgust. Going Guard or Reserve can also serve as a fresh start, but you have to know you will find warts on that side of the fence. All of that being said, life is not fair...it just isn't and the sooner you accept that and make the best of where you are, the happier and likely more successful you will be. Good luck!

Hard to believe this was 12 years ago. For all of you out there deployed or remote standing watch...you are not alone, you are NOT forgotten. I am grateful for each and everyone of you. God Bless

Fixed it...Thank you. I had two windows open and copied the wrong URL.

Where are they out of order or reversed? Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, DFC, Air Medal, Navy Commendation in order. Something further down? What am I missing?

Nice try Bros...if it were me it would have been non-violent and St Barts but you do you. Airman indicted in scheme to overthrow Haitian island, take sex slaves

Complete asshattery. How in the world do you say refused ILLEGAL orders is sedition?

Well that seems definitive! Thanks lads.

Anyone shot the ATI Alpha Maxx? Door buster cheap AR pistol ($309), on Guns.com, comes with a 60 round mag. Wanted a cheap truck gun and put it in my cart but didn't pull the trigger yet...sts. https://www.guns.com/firearms/p/ati-alpha-maxx?i=465610

I think a snapshot in time...and disappointing in many ways. Electing a communist mayor in NYC...an Attorney General in VA that no only called for KILLING his opponent, but also putting a bullet in the head of his opponents kids...that is the new DNC. I really wonder what will happen in the mid-terms with the DNC slipping so far left they are openly supporting socialism and in some cases communism. Seriously, the new leaders are FAR left lunatics. Nancy just tapped out, Schumer is on the ropes. Who is the leader of the DNC? Is it Jefferies? Pete? Come on... Kamala is talking about another run perhaps linked with AOC ("they" think they will win all 50 states with that combo....ummm yeah). Hating Trump is one thing, but is it enough for the rest of the country to go full retard?

Both sides are cherry picking. My War College Classmate, now retired Col Andrew Milburn wrote his thesis on the subject: BreakIng Ranks Dissent and the Military Professional - The paper was later published in JFQ where Pultizer Prize winning author Tom Ricks (who is a complete douche by the way), picked up on it and wrote a scathing article bashing Milburn. It was obvious Ricks never read the paper as Andy simply laid out a line of thinking around unlawful orders. Bottomline, we all swore an oath to the Constitution, not the President and we should act accordingly. I have only heard reporting on Trump's comments which are obviously Fing stupid but I did hear one report say the left-leaning networks have edited his comment and left out the phrase "if convicted." Obviously that qualifier slightly lowers the stupidity factor, likely not enough to matter. Bottomline, we have free speech in this country (despite the wishes of some with the Ministry of Truth), and Trump should shut his big mac eating, diet coke swizzling pie hole.

Horrific, nothing they could do.

Even the local Denver News Paper wants Fat Tony canned. A VERY scathing article documenting the downfall of USAFA under his fat thumb. The U.S. Air Force Academy is on the brink of failure, here’s how to save it (Opinion)
