  1. Could this little episode be the storyline for a new Dos Gringos song?
  2. Interesting read... Petraeus, Suddenly With Plenty of Free Time, Ponders His Next Move https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/22/us/petraeus-lies-low-and-ponders-his-next-move.html?_r=0
  3. This doesn't end well...
  4. Standing by for fallout...
  5. Just the thought of 'Congresswoman McSally' scares me...
  6. Has Barber conceded? I don't know anything about Arizona election law--with a vote that close, does an automatic recount begin?
  7. Looks like she is slightly ahead now (105,754 to 104,362)...
  8. She almost has me convinced that she believes the crap that comes out of her mouth (STS).
  9. She's on Greta Van Susteren's "On The Record" right now... same old shit...
  10. College Allows Transgender Man to Expose Himself to Young Girls https://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/college-allows-transgender-man-to-expose-himself-to-young-girls.html
  11. Was anyone else just watching Fox News? A car chase ended in Arizona with the suspect getting out of the car and running around looking dazed and confused before pulling out a gun and shooting himself in the head. Fox News said they were on a five-second tape delay, but that didn't work out too well...
  12. https://mcsallyforcongress.com/category/martha-media-press-releases/ Today, the Martha McSally for Congress campaign released a recent internal poll showing her in striking distance to unseat Congressional incumbent Ron Barber, with Barber leading by only five percentage points with 77 days left until Election Day.
  13. University of Ky. to study military suicides https://www.airforcet...uicides-082612/
  14. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/2012/08/ap-penn-state-riot-ends-dream-082712/ CliffsNotes version: ROTC cadet attends riot after Penn State's Board of Trustees fired Joe Paterno. He put his hands on a van that was already going over--he is charged the same as the people who purposefully flipped the van over. He decided to plead guilty to lesser misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and criminal mischief to avoid possibly being found guilty of a felony. Result: 30 days in jail, parole/probation, kicked out of Army ROTC, loss of $34k in scholarship money, one-semester suspension, and $8,500 in court costs, fines, and restitution.
  15. Thread bump: Did anyone ever find out the punishments that were doled out to the C-17 crewmembers?
  16. https://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123313864 Regarding junior members addressing more senior members: 1.6.4. Respect for Authority. Junior personnel shall employ a courteous and respectful bearing and mode of speech toward senior personnel.

  17. https://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123313367 CSAF's last day at the Pentagon was yesterday (a Wednesday) according to the article--notice how everyone is in their blues. Blues have been UOD from M-Th for quite a while now IIRC. Curious to see if this standard is changed following Gen Welsh's appointment ceremony...
  18. Good Riddance Gen Schwartz. I thank you for your service and I'm pretty sure you tried like hell to right this ship, but I'm fairly confident most people would say our service is worse off now than it was four years ago.
  19. I'm guessing how to make BTZ
  20. AFAIK, no plans to increase # of tails at ILG. E-mail was sent out to wing personnel in early June about the associate wing concept being stood up. Based on RUMINT, AD will do all of their medical/dental/MPF/finance/etc at Dover and a detachment-like operation will reside at ILG. Plan calls for interflying between AD and ANG.
  21. Aurora Colorado Police Scanner audio as the first calls go out for the theater shooting on July 20, 2012:
  22. Rumor has it that an AD detachment will be standing up at New Castle County Airport (Delaware) with the ANG 130s in the next few months...
