Good lord. Please stop with this dumb ass nazi talk.

The left and the power structure associated with it knows that the truth will come out. And it’ll be sooner than later. Pardons don’t prevent investigations or info from being released they just prevent charging someone for their crimes. Let the truth come out. All of it. We just witnessed the most destructive 4 years in our nations history, politically speaking. Today it all changes. Let’s get to work rebuilding this nation.

A lot of officer perspective here. I’m not in any way excusing the behavior of out of control SNCOs. I can’t stand it either and I have to work constantly to squash it in my orbit. I would add context though. SNCOs are stuck in the middle. On one hand, they have to deal with immature, hard to communicate with, uneducated and honestly weird junior airmen. They are doing their best to motivate them, lead them and accomplish the mission. Correcting the small stuff is often necessary to keep younger troops in line. If you don’t, they will take advantage of you. It’s like parenting. It is extremely challenging. On the other hand, they must answer to officers. Some officers have fun getting under the skin of SNCOs. See @HossHarris post above. That is literally the worst advice I’ve ever read in dealing with a SNCO. Especially, a competent one. Relationships are built on trust and respect. It goes both ways. If you want to have success dealing with someone who is correcting your socks or asking where your reflective belt is, then sit down privately and talk to them. Ask them why they perceive whatever they’re doing as a priority. You may be surprised by their answer. And you’ll be able to speak to your perspective as well. You’ll probably find there was no reason to “not be afraid to be an officer” or “pretend you didn’t know a rule existed”. You just didn’t have the complete story. If you find that a NCO or SNCO was directed to prioritize something ridiculous, then chase that lead down and have a convo with commanders or other senior leaders to get their perspective. That is how blind spots are exposed allowing them to be corrected. Just the thoughts of an old crusty SNCO.

Didn’t he resign from congress? And he’s no longer the nominee for attorney general right? So, he’s now just another citizen? What is there to talk about?

They are what they accuse you of. Especially, the threat to democracy part.

This is the way to handle it. No prosecutions but complete transparency. Beat them at their game. The public deserves to know the truth.

Biden didn't pardon Hunter. He pardoned himself. I’m confident the Bidens are easily one of the most corrupt families in the history of this country. Hopefully, when history writes itself, the truth and evidence come out. These people make me sick. I hope they pay. Even if it is just in the history books.

Is anyone pregnant and trying to pick a name?
lloyd christmas replied to Lord Ratner's topic in Squadron Bar
Did you incorporate a category for chicks that get pregnant in Panama City? Gotta account for the Cayden’s and Jayden’s of the world. -
Not a prediction just an observation. I’m not big on social media. I only have a FB account. I started the account years ago when I taught at the FTU. It was a tool to keep in touch with my students including my international students. I am also a military brat so I have connected with folks from my childhood who live all around the country in places I lived growing up. I see their opinions on this election. I see the questions they ask and the people that respond to their posts. I see an overwhelming push for Trump. It could mean something or I could be way off base. Again, not a prediction just an observation. I also recognize that the media is the largest part of the machine. The media arm of the machine wants ratings and money. They have no interest in reporting the truth. They will frame this election as “tied” to get ratings whether it’s leaning one way or the other. Gotta have people glued to their feeds/TV.

Our OG/CCs dad was in the Triple Nickel during Vietnam. He’s still with us although he’s not doing well and is confined to a wheel chair. He’s a proud member of the 555th club. His son, our OG/CC carries his dad’s green polka dotted scarf with him on every flight. Has for his entire 33 year flying career. Cheers!

Interesting take on current events. Worth the watch.

Why are you guys even debating this? The 2 party system and our voting process isn’t going anywhere. It’s the superhighway to keeping those in the deep state in power.

I’m on record here stating that, as a life long republican, I would have voted for a middle of the road, sane and mature democrat over Trump in this election. I will not vote for Kamala. No way. But the dems decided to anoint her and not have a primary. So guys like me have no choice. And I guarantee there are lots of people just like me. I'll be voting for Trump all day every day over Kamala.

Best post I’ve read in a very long time.

Gov Tim Walz co-sponsor this?
