You're defending the argument for more gun control while not defending the argument for zero gun control...so yes, you're a progressive. When you start acting like a libertarian then I'll believe you're a libertarian.

Kids, being kids. Some are dumber than others. I hope leadership fixes them, rather than destroys them I guess these kids were also just being kids...or do you disagree? https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/09/30/air-force-academy-leader-delivers-stern-speech-on-racism-after-bias-incident-on-campus/

Thanks--I always knew you weren't a real libertarian, just another progressive.

What it comes down to is that most qualified guys just don't want to do the job, irrelevant of the airline hiring. If this was all about the airlines hiring then you wouldn't have a problem hiring rotorwing guys since RW Army WOs aren't just walking into the airlines...rather they are seeking medflight jobs which aren't paying any better than the job you're offering (in most cities they pay worse).

Your OG (by himself) doesn't own you with regards to your PCS, your functional does. That's not to say that the OG can't contact your functional's O-6 and convince her to change the assignment, but I seriously doubt that will happen. Not to mention that the UPT world is hurting for IPs. As for if you 'did anything wrong', I don't think so based off your email. I've done similar things in the past and it wasn't a problem. As for the IG complaint, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on IMO. BL: I wouldn't sweat it.

Why an innocent person should lose Liberty because some people will abuse is it is beyond me... If we called for banning alcohol because people kill others via drunk driving, the progressives would lose their minds.

Well, I guess until then you're SOL with all that gun control you want. But seriously, who is going to take away our guns?

Sure, when you repeal the 2nd Amendment. Let me know the 38 states that will vote to ratify the change. Besides, I thought you were a "Pro-2A" guy? And who is going to take away our guns, exactly? You progresives make me laugh...

I can yell fire in a theater...if there's a fire. I just can't intentionally induce a panic for no reason. Just like I can have firearms, but I can't point them at people (or worse fire them)...unless I'm defending my life. If guns are the problem, that means that alcohol is to blame for people being murdered via drunk driving. Besides, if stricter gun control laws worked, then Mexico would be a much safer country than the US.

Well, first off, The Constituition never mentioned anything about race when counting slaves. Second off, since slavery was banned in 1865 by The Constitution (yep, same one I'm referring to), not a single person has been counted as "3/5 of a person". So yes, I still do support The Constitution and its banning of slavery.

Funny how so many people on here took an oath to support and defend The Constitiution are also the ones who are not supporting and defending The Constitution... Oh and Ratner and the others who are saying they are "Pro-2A" are clearly not. That's like saying you're against slavery...but that some amounts of slavery are ok...

If you were originally going to be passed over to O-4 your chances of making O-5 is pretty close to zero. I would also like to add that only insecure people are against a higher promotion rate to Major.

It's actually the date you officially started UPT.

How "smoking hot" does she have to be to not know the history? Pics would probably be helpful...

Don't worry, I'm sure getting rid of the traditional 20-year retirement next year will fix all these problems...

Can't say that there has 'never' been, but I'm not aware of one in 15+ years. The vast majority of Army pilots are warrant officers, and though I'm sure the AF 'could' make it happen, you're probably not going to see a WO flying AF aircraft. And bringing over a young Army Captain to fly the line in the AF would screw their career. Just my $.02

Unfortunately I'm willing to bet that you will not. The problem I see with this bill is thst there is not definitive verbiage that states that supressors are removed from the NFA list. So it will allow Trump to order his ATF and federal law enforcement agencies to not treat supressors as an NFA item, however, the next Dem in office can just reverse the order.

Did the GOP just slip an amendment into the FDA spending bill to remove suppresses from the NFA list? https://dailycaller.com/2017/07/13/pro-second-amendment-measure-passes-house-through-fda-funding-bill/

Insert Indiana Jones "Top Men" meme here...

Exactly, hence it is not a "single engine" problem...

So why aren't there more T-6 Class As?

I couldn't help but notice that the person's real name is SSgt 'Buch'...

Again, I'm not aware of any court challenges by those who disagreed with the Senate...perhaps I missed it?

No, he's going to Tyndall.

The vast majority of rated O-5s not picked up for command are not going to staff. For example, there's a reason why PIT is full of O-5 non-commanders...
