Congrats and thank you for your service. Semper Fi.

Lost in all of this is just how corrupt and partisan the FBI has become. The FBI just released the IG report on McCabe and it states he lied to numerous senior officials, he lied under oath to BENEFIT HIMSELF, and he was the source of a leak during the election. Comey's book excerpts are flowing and I could care less about the insults and hand size drama, but he admits he the following: He failed to tell Trump he knew Hillary paid for the Dossier, he decided to release the late breaking info on Hillary only after he noted she was ahead in the pools, and he released potentially classified information through a friend to drive the appointment of a special prosecutor. Bottomline, love or hate Trump, the top two "Leaders" of the FBI leaked information. Sickening.

The report worded it to say 1/3 of the entire population. Further 65% of eligibles have declined the bonus.

The GAO is out with a new report sounding the alarm of the Fighter Pilot shortage across DoD. Fully 1/4 of all Fighter Pilot billets are now empty. There were some interesting gems in the report like how the Navy tried to normalize some of the shortages by EXTENDING deployments. Also, over the past four years over 1/3 of the USAF's Fighter Pilots have elected to leave the service.
Except when the Legal Office made recommendations to me as a Commander they did so in private, not on the public stage after calling a news conference. Legal analysis like drafting a memo clearing Clinton before she was even interviewed... Do you actually believe any of this tripe?
Odd, I seem to recall Comey saying Hillary should not be charged...
Both.
Two issues here: 1. Sitting in on TS/SCI meetings without a clearance is troubling....HOWEVER, the President of the United States is the ULTIMATE declassification authority...IF he approves the adminstrivia is meaningless. Is it a bad optic, absolutely...illegal, nope. 2. Lying or emitting details on an SF-86 - 100% a crime that should be punished.
How about when investigators find TS/SCI information on an unauthorized , unclassifed, and unprotected email server?
Apparently there has been a spike in accidents and CSAF wants to know why? https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2018/04/09/air-force-chief-of-staff-orders-review-of-increasing-aviation-mishaps/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=EBB 4/10/18&utm_term=Editorial - Military - Early Bird Brief
AMEN!

It never gets easier...Where do we find such brave young men and women. Him Him.
Memorial was Friday. He was simply put, a good man. Him Him
Reportedly a ground launched R-27. Gets real interesting at 1:34.

Kicking the can seems to be the trend, how will it manifest down the road. Honestly I think it is good to revisit the syllabus from time to time, but when you push basic flying tasks to the operational unit that comes at a cost to MR training. My bigger fear is we have lowered the bar and it we will see the accident rate spike.
I mostly have, but there are still a lot of folks serving that I actually care about and there is that whole future of our country thing.
Did I hurt your feelings? Poor thumb-sucking SNAP, should we call mommy?
Amen...Unity march, Everyone is a Warrior, punishing the entire base when one jackwagon gets a DUI, and sycophantic senior leaders with closets full of skeletons who serve only themselves...those are the reasons I got out. Also, for the the record I don;t think anyone needs a reason to get out. As an O-6 I spoke with multiple folks who were on the fence and the first thing I always said was "Thanks for your service, you are part of the 1% that raised your hand to serve and if you think getting out is the best thing for you and you family, godspeed, grateful you gave us the time you did."
What you identify as poor leadership is actually someone asking you as an IP to be a fucking adult, sorry that is so difficult for you. Enjoy the airlines, I am sure you "me only" attitude will serve you quite well in the interview process. For the record I retired to get away from caustic leadership and a broken system, I think most of the people that served with me (some on here), know I was not into the you should be ridiculed because I was ridiculed routine, but getting offended because someone asks you to make sure you training paperwork is squared away...dear god, get the sand out of your vagina.
