He was absolutely NOT washed out of WIC for writing this paper or contacting the AFSOC/CC. To preserve what little dignity this chucklehead has, I will leave it at that.

Supposedly he did this stunt himself.

She didn't handle it very well? She is a U.S. citizen who is NOT sick, has NOT committed a crime and was forced to live in a tent in New Jersey. I would think a few of you might be upset given the same circumstances. The question then becomes where do we draw the line? Influenza is airborne and a far bigger threat in the U.S., on average the "flu kills 36,000 people in the U.S. each year, why are you not quarantining everyone who gets the flu?

Oh brother...like when the Talons tried not to fly into ORBI at night...then the shame when they found out the slicks were going in during the day.

Military Med care can be both extremes...these days it is a huge pain in the ball (no Doc I don't have a tumor), to get a routine appt. It has gotten so bad that I am moving my wife and kid over to Tricare Standard. That being said, some truly outstanding military doctors saved my wife's life in 2005. Approaching 48 hours without an answer since I sent a Micare request for Viagra....errr Motrin to the doc.

Gunships have always been and will always be a high demand low density asset. As a result the Ops tempo can be higher than most, especially in times of conflict (always). That being said, there are other platforms that have a higher ops tempo. Gunship squadrons tend to be very tight and the families have a strong social structure that provides balance and support when you are gone. Having done this gig for a long time, if she is a reasonable woman, she will be just fine. If you've put all this work into becoming a pilot, I would suggest you follow your dreams.

NOTHING is perfect...well Pappy Van Winkle is pretty close, but sometimes you just hope there is more good than bad. This forum has helped many people for many years (myself included), and I hope it continues to do so.

Could be in the Russia or Ukraine threads but worthy of separate discussion, the genie is out of the bottle, I hope you can fight without GPS. https://www.gpsdaily.com/reports/Satellite_Navigation_Failure_Confirms_Urgent_Need_for_Backup_999.html

His wife sent a Mass Facebook note to all friends a little while ago.

Pete is a good friend of mine. he writes on a range of topics with a heavy emphasis on space. If you want to read more check out this link.

Incorrect, I know of a sitting wing/CC who got a DUI while we were in UPT.

You obviously don't know crap about gunships or the A Code. The ACW is a work in progress...as we've seen on the battlefield. The HUD will change some of that and the J will be a completely different as well. All things being equal CSO, I'd rather have the gas.

The Founding Fathers are drinking bourbon and mocking us...how far we have fallen.

Let the shenanigans begin... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOoXJI4vBns

Thats hot.

I Googled "Pictures of MATMACWC's Mom", and that what came up...sts.

Can't find words to describe. https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ba7_1396066171

Holy Fuck

Crap, I was not trying to sound like Al Bundy and derail this into a UPT thread...I failed. Apologies I am old, crotchety and deployed without bourbon to clear my thoughts. The point was to address how we get folks into the proper group, we probably get it right most of the time, but just like the outside world, shit is not always fair. The bigger issue is how we resolve the shortage, most think crossflow won't work, other have said the system is already at max capacity so what does the AF do? Targeted bonuses will get some to commit, but I am betting it won't fix the problem. We need an out of the box solution but that is exceedingly difficult to do in a force management system that practices rigid institutionalism on a daily basis. In the end they will probably just employ the ultimate force management tool, Stop Loss.
