Dude, I pointed out how a Kirtland AETC training wing does not follow this policy, and Vance was listed as another. So I don't see this as being 'very rare' as you described when it comes to a 'no-mileage' restriction in AETC. Others can chime in with the other AETC units if they'd like. As for Goodfellow, I have yet to comment on what they do as I haven't got a clue. I don't doubt the shenanigans you mention are true, but it's not some massive AETC conspiracy with how they treat everybody in a training course and their pass policy. Hell, even Gravedigger disagreed with you with his experience of the AETC Spaceworld. As for the 29B's...sorry man, we've all had to deal with them as they've been around at least since the early 2000's (and probably earlier). Have you taught in AETC or just been a student? I used to brief the new students on the AETC no-tobacco policy during duty hours and told them to be smart about it. Now you're on to something...much better than 'It is an AETC thing' and 'very rare'. There are young guys who read these posts and there's no point in throwing up things that aren't true. And for the record man, it does suck that the guys at Goodfellow are being a bunch of tools. As I used to tell my students back when I was in AETC, to put it in their critiques and remember the things they didn't like when they're sitting in the instructor chair one day. This too will pass. Bendy--I wanted to add a pic of 2 half-naked chicks pulling each other's hair, but I didn't want to be the one making the thread NSFW. So here you go!

I don't doubt that what you said is something very similar to the goal of the far left...but the actuality of it happening, hmm, I don't see the likelihood of it anytime in the nearer future (the likelihood of going to a single-payer, not the likelihood of Obamacare failing, which I think it will). Obamacare barely got passed when the Dems has large majorities in both houses, though these days, I think the Dems would have gone the nuclear-option (as they already have with appointments) if they had not been able to get the 60 votes in the Senate at the beginning. I don't see the votes being there anytime soon (5-10 years) to get to a single-payer system, even if things go south. I think what will happen is that Hillary will in 2016 and Obamacare continues to stay...unless...Obamacare fails horribly by early/mid 2016 and/or we have another massive recession and someone like Rand Paul wins in 2016 and has a GOP majority, and even then, who knows. Bad policy rarely gets rolled back when it's an entitlement issue. Usually it is increased, even by the Republicans. The left is now saying that it is good that people will be able to quit their jobs and keep their healthcare (not they didn't say anything about continuing to be able to pay for their healthcare).

Kirtland 58 SOW units had the same thing. This is nothing cosmic as it's in the leave AFI (ie no distance restriction on a pass). I'm not trying to bust your balls on purpose each time, but you throw out a lot of information in which your assumptions turn out to not be accurate. Notice how I never comment on what Goodfellow does because I have never been there. Hopefully there is some learning going on here.

This. The equivalence would be people expecting their car insurance to cover a new battery, tire rotation, oil changes, car washes, etc...but to not cost more than they're already paying (actually they want it to cost less). Oh, and while they're at it...Obamacare would allow the equivalent of you being able to not have collision insurance, you then wreck your car into a tree, and then you can call and get an insurance program after the fact that replaces your vehicle. This is not how insurance works. The only way Obamacare could even 'somewhat' work would be to raise everybody's rates (because you don't have a choice now) to cover the increased risk pool/procedures that the insurance must cover and to raise taxes/fees to pay for the subsidies of poor people when their rates increase as well. I also love how the insurance companies will get a federal bailout if they don't make a certain profit.

We will all politely now back up, and get off of your lawn.

Officers are more likely to text while driving https://www.airforcetimes.com/article/20140211/NEWS/302110023/Officers-more-likely-text-while-driving I call BS...I'm sure a lot more than 51% of O's at least 'read' (more than likely also send) texts when driving...and I definitely don't buy the 41% of E's either. This poll encompasses more liars than those who deny that they masturbate.

Since when is it the government's job to make sure a citizen gets proper healthcare? Obamacare is just wealth redistribution all in the name of 'fairness' and 'the right thing to do'. It's easy for people to support theft from their neighbor when they're not the one being robbed and they are also not the one having to do the stealing. People will stay on the sinking ship as long as they're still serving free drinks.

White House delays health insurance mandate for medium-sized employers until 2016 The joke continues.

Still 'no'. I have rarely ever seen enlisted get harassed just to get harassed while spending quite a bit of time (as well as being an IP) over the years at Kirtland and my fixed-wing buds there said the same. Now was it haze for the A1C's (first term enlisted/non-crossflow), yes...because it's their tech school, just the way it is. Though I'm sure our first term airmen had it a lot better than tech school for mx or security forces. So again, either something has drastically changed at 'all' the AETC bases/training units, or this is focused on certain career fields and bases.

No. Unless AETC has changed that much in the last year. There are enough people on here at AETC bases (UPT and school houses) that can comment whether or not their bases/organizations have as much buffoonery as what you're describing.

They offer tours?

He's an idiot, a racist and a bigot...but IMO, that's his choice. And it's my choice to not spend my money there. Let the 'free' market figure this out. I'm all for people spreading the news on this guy, protesting or whatever. As for Vance...I wouldn't be surprised if the Wing/CC sends out a policy that forbids military members from going to this place due to security concerns.

Didn't they sell it to you as an 'opportunity'? Forgot to add: "Have I got a deal for you!"

You should have asker her to demonstrate the '2 fingers technique'. ...oh, and then afterwards she should have demonstrated how to wear the flight cap too. ZING!

Unless I'm mistaken, those are the missileers, right? Interesting...

4 Star?

Where's Liquid or Chang when you need them? I was actually giving some credit to the AF for doing better on this VSP/RIF (with the matrices and all)....but now it looks like it's all just smoke and mirrors.

Alcohol causes men in the military to rape women... Too soon? .......... 'We raped the horses and rode off on the women!'

She's pro-gun, so that automatically makes her better looking compared to if she was for gun control. M2 said he agrees.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/flying-high-exclusive-inside-story-biebers-pot-plane-n22056 Definitely something that should be taught in the chamber class...

The BRAC has also been recommended 'many times' before...yet, no recent BRAC that has been substantive. But the idea of saving money without closing bases (ie shifting more to the reserves) will probably make the politicians come in their pants.

So instead of a much needed BRAC, we could get this instead... Well, one thing is for sure--times are getting very interesting.

Who says that I don't?

Well, if you're hoping to find them just by Google alone, don't waste your time...already checked.
