  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. We will all politely now back up, and get off of your lawn.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. White House delays health insurance mandate for medium-sized employers until 2016 The joke continues.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  13. Unless I'm mistaken, those are the missileers, right? Interesting...
  14. 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.

  16. Alcohol causes men in the military to rape women... Too soon? .......... 'We raped the horses and rode off on the women!'
  17. She's pro-gun, so that automatically makes her better looking compared to if she was for gun control. M2 said he agrees.
  18. 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...
  19. 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.
  20. So instead of a much needed BRAC, we could get this instead... Well, one thing is for sure--times are getting very interesting.
  21. Who says that I don't?
  22. Well, if you're hoping to find them just by Google alone, don't waste your time...already checked.
  23. That's one way to reduce TA costs...
  24. I don't think it really matters that much...the damage has already been done. I don't see too many GO's doing what Gen Franklin did from now on...it's falling on your sword for sure. Which is maybe what the politicians and Pentagon civilians were wanting all along--to send a strong message.
