    If it doesn’t directly benefit our citizens, then it’s not a priority before other things that do benefit our citizens. If a treaty alliance is beneficial, then sure…but we are under no obligation to spend tens of billions of dollars we don’t have to fight for countries half way around the world.

    So you want us to no longer trade with China? https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/china-defies-sanctions-make-russia-its-biggest-oil-supplier-2023-2024-01-20/

    Another MSM, assuming you’re not an O-6 or above? Maybe I don’t quite understand your question. You get the retirement dec, the retirement pin, and the letters/certificates. And hopefully some type of going away from your organization.

    A nice check that comes every month as long as you have a pulse and don’t commit a felony. Also Tricare Select at a very reasonable price. ETA: I know your question was bout decorations, but as nice as a decoration is, what I wrote above is what I really wanted.

    So you’re calling Biden a Nazi now? That’s what the left does to Trump!

    Won’t happen…spoiled progressive kids going to expensive colleges would never allow it.

    All good brother! You win this round!

    I already said I was an idiot, what else do you want!? Haha

    Man, this idiot doesn’t know crap!

    For those who say the President has no say in the price of gas/fossil fuels. Thanks Biden. “Minimum lease bonds will soar to $150,000 under the new rules from $10,000 -- a level unchanged since 1960. Royalty rates will rise to 16.67% from 12.5%, and the minimum amount companies can bid at oil and gas auctions will increase to $10 an acre from $2. The rental rate for a 10-year lease will double to $3 an acre for the first two years, eventually rising to $15 per acre in the final years. The fees can be adjusted for inflation after 10 years.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-finalizes-higher-fees-for-oil-and-gas-companies-on-federal-lands/ar-BB1lwNYC

    My bet is that if he is passed over again, he will be offered continuation as a pilot, which means no separation pay.

    Hitting a base we’re using in Iraq is quite different than saying they’re hitting the US, ie in our own country. I just don’t see them hitting Israel (ie in their own country) in the next 48 hours. But we’ll find out soon enough.

    My bet is they don’t, at least not in the timeframe you suggest. Iran talks tough all the time, but they’re really weak when it comes to follow through.

    We might as well finally make severe cuts to our military if half the country isn’t going to be ok with civilians dying in the next conflict.

    But that’s not what you said—you said you can only think of one competent person in Trump’s administration. So why argue with your opinion if it’s clear we disagree on political matters and your philosophy?
  17. HeloDude
    So what you’re saying is that inflation we see today and have been seeing the last few years is a good thing?
  18. HeloDude
    Wait, are you suggesting that your opinion of whether or not someone is competent outweighs someone else’s opinion that differs than yours?

    If you have been selected to be a UPT IP for your next assignment, then yes, you will still go to PIT. As for your recommendations: 1) Do your best in your current assignment and at PIT 2) Talk to your current commander about his/her opinions regarding the board results—be honest (but professional) with your thoughts and feelings on the matter, and ask for advice. 3) I wouldn’t be surprised if you get picked up above the zone, depending on your record (assuming you don’t have a UIF). So do your best when you get to your UPT base, make your desires known to your next commander. 4) If you get picked up above the zone, continue as you would have, if you get passed over again, decline continuation if you want to get out (I recommend having a solid plan first), or accept continuation and see what life brings you. The last few years I’ve seen guys get picked up for the next rank after being passed over multiple times…so you never know. Either way, try to stay positive, seek out some good mentors, work hard, and good things will still happen to you. Good luck!

    Was 2020 good? Is that a serious question? It was dog crap! I would say it was somewhat decent (not great) the few years before…still way too much government spending and regulations. Then with Covid, and later, the politicians were like “hold my beer!”.

    If the economy was so great then we wouldn’t be running a $1.8 TRILLION annual deficit…

    It’s literally under a thread called “Today in hypocrisy…”, not “How to fly an ILS in the T-6.” The thread is fine as it is.

    And here I thought SCOTUS ruled he couldn’t forgive student loans without going through Congress? But yet Trump is threat to democracy…
  24. HeloDude
    States should most definitely have the option of seceding if they want…if not, there’s not much of a “union”, is there?
