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.

Not only did the reporter get the wrong aircraft, they got the wrong country. Must be former AF/PA.

No judgement, we all have to make hard decisions that we didn’t expect to face. Personally I recommend you revaluate the reason you’re seeking to leave your current unit. If it’s because you regret not going T-38s and want another shot, you’re making a mistake (you will burn the shit out of bridges while also not getting into a fighter squadron). If it’s for other life/work reasons, then I recommend you look for an alternate unit that flies the same/similar aircraft. Talk to your current sq/cc about whatever issues are going on, and continue to produce for the unit until the day you leave for whatever is next.

So you decided on your own to turn down 38s/a guard fighter slot and go T-1s? That’s not a spear, as there are completely legitimate reasons for why someone may do that. But, if that’s the story in a nutshell, then I imagine you have a nearly zero % chance of flying fighters for any unit. I’m all for “you miss every shot you don’t take,” but don’t have false hope and burn a bunch of energy (or bridges) on this pipe dream.

No shit. He made the bad decision (drugs plus knowing he was mentally struggling, and still took a JS). He needs to get a substantial sentence…he deserves it, and there needs to be a precedent set.

Politicians are such pieces of shit. The best fix is remove 100% of them, enact term limits, then start over. Everyone does 8 max and done. One can dream…

Ok that’s better!

Shield Arms makes a integrated folding stock lower, and they do 15% off for mil. That’s the next one I’m getting.

Meanwhile in the guard you can get $50k for 3 years…and not be on AD. The AD gave up on retention a long time ago. The bonus sways zero people to stay in; 100% of takers were going to stay in anyways and the money was just icing on the cake. Change my mind.

That is a lot of VA Ave time!

Don’t have a break in service. If you’re moving immediately, then at least maintain TR status, even though that’ll include travel for you. Work with your current CC to only come every other month and combine RUTAs to make up a full work week, etc. The easiest transition is obviously to a same-aircraft unit, but you certainly could find another unit who will TX you. Worst case, you can find a points-only job in the new location to avoid break in service, but probably undesirable to stop flying, even if temporarily.

@Props The couple ways I’ve seen it work is through VLPAD and switching to another state’s ANG that has individual billets posted at FTU units. I’m not sure if any state ANG has UPT billets, but precedent is set for AETC/ANG relationship. You could always reach out to MS/OK/TX JFHQs (or squadron bros in those states) to see if any UPT billets exist.

And “health” is misspelled on the sign behind “her.” This is AI or a shitty photoshop job. And Gen Dumbass bought hook, line and sinker.
