Is that applicable to naked gunner hugs? I’ve only heard about it. Maybe an expert in that kind of thing (*cough* @ClearedHot *cough*) can provide fill-ins.

If so, he’s about to be 69 million times better off than being a wing/cc…I can’t imagine having to do a job that full of queep, bullshit, and politics.

@Smokin It completely is doable, just people need to pay attention to their local happenings and be proactive. I think a large reason states like CO have completely transformed is because it all happened slowly prior to Covid, when max amount of people were blissfully ignorant to just about everything and were happy to be that way. Covid was the catalyst for waking up millions of Americans to the bullshit that was seeping everywhere. Now people are paying a lot more attention and have substantially less trust in govt and public entities at all levels. It’s substantially more difficult for progressive Polly to sneak onto the school board, get on city council 3 years later, and end up Mayor 6 years after that (e.g. the long game played in states like CO). The game has changed, and not in the progressive’s favor.

I thought DAL was my retirement job, but maybe there’s more $ to be made in eco-friendly dildos. @Biff_T and I are going to be rich!

In my experience, absolutely. I think generally guard leadership is really good about helping their people. You’re still in the mil, so it’s not a guarantee, but my guess is they are willing to forego you going at all, look around to find a volunteer from a different unit to fill the time you’d like to be home, etc. There’s usually a way to make it happen for important stuff like a birth.

Seen one Q3 in 17 years of flying, and it was deserved. The heavy world blows my mind on how they wield Q3s.

The media is coming to its defense, saying it’s fine because it only affects 3rd party mass-text message marketing, and not personal texts (paraphrasing). I still say bullshit. A company should be able to market to those who wish to receive their marketing, regardless of topic (if it’s legal). This is an overreach and another notch on the slippery slope belt of the “we know what’s best for you” crowd trying to control everything and everybody.

Don’t know about this particular one, but it’s astounding the amount of parents I see/hear of who are lazy fucks and don’t do shit to parent their kids. And then they wonder why their kid ends up all fucked up. It’s not the kid’s fault, it’s the parents’.

For a very good reason! Because that’s the way we’ve always done it. The end.

Thanks @Jon - Trident Home Loans, sent you a DM.

@Jon - Trident Home Loans Do you guys do construction loans?

As long as the cadets just have a bunch of minority trannies and pedophilia (sorry, I mean minor-attracted) shit on their page, maybe a 69 colors/shapes flag, and perhaps a shared link to Biff’s website selling unicorn fart-powered dildos, it’ll be smooth sailing and not a leadership eyebrow will be raised. Unless they’re a white male, then they’re fucked no matter what they do. So, who’s up for USAFA!?

My wife: “you’re an idiot, why do you still do this when you know you get horrible hangovers?” Me: “Because it’s too fun the night before! Totally worth it….I think”

I wish SCOTUS would clear their schedule for 2 months and eradicate all the garbage/unconstitutional laws in CA and NY, all of them. Like when you PCS and give away/trash all that random shit you don’t want to move. The country would benefit hugely.

Biff right before making that post… I want to go to Songtan with Biff…

I don’t get it either. Maybe she’s trying to demo all of the covid related shit (including her discharge) was nullified, and therefore she should still be a marine based at Iwakuni. But even if you follow that logic, why would she give a fuck to try so hard. Personally if I was her I’d want nothing to do with the Marines and move on with life.

Probably the only real impact we could make is set up shop along the border, tell Mexico we’ll be operating up to 20 nm into their airspace (and we DGAF what they think about it), and we start killing a lot of bad guys. unfortunately if you’re a “truly innocent” person who is attached to a coyote/foreign actor/terrorist, you may get caught up in it. That sucks, but the truly innocent will learn real quick to not do that (short of kidnapped). Full militarization of the border is the only option we have left that might have some real impact.

If you have blood lust/celebrate killing, you either haven’t done it, or you have and you’re a psychopath. Doing what must be done is most effective when you don’t do it/take it too far for emotional reasons.

Out of that list AFE will have the most regular, guaranteed interaction with pilots. Intel can be good, but depends on where you’re working…you could have extremely little interaction, so that’s a risk (from the perspective of wanting highest pilot-interaction rate).

The staff? Logical? HA!

After this last week in Vegas, I think my ODO rolled from 99,000 back to 0…for the 69th time. I’m never drinking again…for at least a week…maybe.

For the SOC guys, is 75 too many? It seems high, given the nature of the mission, and I understand max number is always better given a perfect world, but we’re far from a perfect world.

$1000/mo payment at 16.9%. Nailed it!

What could go wrong…thank god I’ll be retired before such abomination comes to fruition

That’ll change once they realize how much fatass America is tanking their revenue. What a stupid idea.
