You can always trust the government to tell you the truth...

And the best kept secret continues...

Probably disgusted...but definitely not surprised, especially today. https://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/04/us-usa-airforce-diversity-idUSKBN0M02CF20150304

That's easy...I learned it in my staff job. WAR: Weekly Activity Report

Guys, this is just the beginning. Progressives don't stop.

Him being selected for Vice Chief most likely means that he won't be selected to be the next Chief when Welsh retires, unfortunately.

However, these are both. Disgraceful. Good to know that I look unprofessional if I roll my sleeves up a little bit...

You can't get any more specific than going on AFPC mypers and checking out the recent psdm on the bonus/ARP. Everything you need to know is right there. In a nutshell, if memory serves, if you have more than 16 years of total military service by the time your original UPT commitment ends then you are not eligible. I don't have the psdm in front of me right now, so double check to make sure I'm not wrong.

I was told that it started well before UPT. That their commissioning sources knew that they would all be this awesome and worked with AFPC and AETC early on to ensure they would all be in this same incredible class. Some said it would be too crazy to work...but it did.

Me and a lot of my buds all started within 3+ months of our EAD. So if the AF needs me to serve an extra 3 months past 20 to get an extra $75-100K for something I was going to do anyway, then why not? As someone who has little to no desire to fly after the AF (whether rotary or fixed wing), I appreciate the guys who are getting out and the AF having to throw more money at the rest of us to try and solve their problem. This also should make it a 'little' bit easier when competing for O-5...but who knows. As for all the guys serving their commitment and wanting to punch for the airlines, I wish them the best of luck and thank them for their courage and service. If my goal was to fly for the airlines then there's no way in hell I would stay in past the 11-12 years.

No problem man.

Negative. It starts when you went on AO's...first day you started UPT. Ask your HARM.

You mean it's not as realistic or good as this scene with drones?

Then why the difference in standards? Specifically with the Army? Though I'm sure the USMC will eventually cave and have different standards as well.

Since I'm a nice guy, I'm going to help you out with the emotional hurt you're obviously experiencing. Here you go: Just another example of progressives holding up a hashtag sign...how did that work out? Perhaps the hashtag signs is now strong part of using diplomacy as an instrument of power? But hey, it felt awesome to hold up that sign as Crimea was being taken by Putin... We are a superpower, so it makes me laugh when our leaders say things and hold up signs but in fact don't actually do much of anything. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy the President decided to not engage militarily...but holding up a sign essentially saying we want to help Ukraine is laughable, especially when you look at the results. Just like having a base function where men walk in women shoes.

What paranoia? And yes, it is progressive ideology--make it look like you care and that you're doing something without actually having to sacrifice anything and/or produce results. But hey, as long as it 'felt right' then it's all good. Oh and you might try to understand the difference between ideological differences (philosophy) and partisanship. As for the conservative ideology, I have no clue, you'll have to ask them. Though I have yet to hear prominent conservatives holding up signs that say '#RapeThemKillThemAndDumpTheBodies'.

With progressive ideology, it doesn't matter if it works.' It's all about the feelings behind the intent...that's all that matters. Remember this flavor of the week a while back? How's that situation going?

So they (at least the owner) used to be for Ron Paul, and now they're for Hillary--what a difference 4 years can make! So if Hillary would welcome welcome their support does this mean she, if elected President, would push for legislation/issue executive orders to effectively end the 'federal ban' on consensual adult prostitution? What's also funny is that in my latest SAPR training I was taught that anything that contributes to the objectification of women essentially allows for a more easier environment for which sexual assaults can occur. Personally I support the legality of prostitution amongst consenting adults...but then again, I don't buy into the 'war on women' bs. I do have a feeling ol' Bill is happy about this! https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/18/hookers-for-hillary-bunny-ranch-employees-endorse-hillary-clinton/

Plenty of legitimate charities that do the same thing...and that weed out most of the bums wanting to use the money for drugs/alcohol, or who are just too lazy to work. I went to a very large urban university and saw the same bums for 4 years. There are plenty of ways to help people who need it without getting scammed. But hey, it's your money, you do what you want with it!

Bums on the street do it everyday and people across the US give them millions...stupid Americans.

He must have been referring to BQZip's mom...

I think we have emotionally upset the 'everyone should get a trophy' crowd...

If you're in the Army, you better check that white privilege of yours... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/04/03/army-diversity-training/25250733/ Slide is here: https://www.facebook.com/usawtfm/photos/a.391474713605.169598.242181938605/10153243786443606/?type=1

The 'one earbud in, one out' policy will still apply. Though for some reason they won't have to wear reflective belts. Weird.

Unfortunately no. Just those that signed in FY14.
