Mass Shooting in Aurora Colorado
I'll bite and play devils advocate. What if the CCW got shots off earlier, and the death toll was only 3? So is it better that he may have hit one person, but got the coward to give up earlier...thus only have a death toll of 3 and a few wounded rather than 12 dead and 50 wounded? What then?

Good military/aviation books
It's worth it! But, you can find it on amazon much cheaper.

Stop Loss For 11F
A guy in my squadron is a fairly recent hire. He went straight to the MD-11 in ANC...hasn't done a hub turn yet.

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
A simple "Thanks guys, you saved our asses today," as we're checking out, works for me. Or not even that...the dudes on the ground still breathing as I check out is reward enough. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for the jacked up OPR/Awards program we have...

Restoring the Draft: No Panacea
Yes...let's make chicks part of the draft too. That way, when your daughter comes into the squadron as an ops tech, I can plow her too!

This should suffice. "Man, my instrument approaches could use some work!" "I hate dropping CBU!" "I'm glad the tail kits are hard wired shut!" "No, sorry...we can't give you a show of force." "Low Level?? Fuck that!" "GCI...you're not talking enough."

DTS -> Next Generation Travel System - Ideas?
So if everyone has to put it on every authorization...then why is it not standard? This should be autofilled or a check box, then just have a place to give a justification. At the very least, have the statement somewhere on DTS so I can cut and paste it into my authorization. The only plus side, is the smart ass comments I enter for my justification, at least I get a laugh... I'll second a page that looks just like the paper voucher. Fill it out and have the program pull all the info from this source. I'm guessing that this would cost the DOD another 300 mil, to make something like that happen though.

DTS -> Next Generation Travel System - Ideas?
It's existence! Ctrl-Alt-Del N/A We've pumped half billion into this POS!?!?! THIS! Just get rid of that fucking system! It takes me 2-5 minutes max to fill out a paper voucher! Prior to DTS, I never had a problem, getting airline tickets/hotels/rental cars. Since switching to DTS, I have yet to go on a TDY where something wasn't totally fucked with DTS. We still have the same number of finance folks as before we switch to DTS. Now they spend most of their time fielding calls on how to un-fuck a DTS problem. Also please train your folks to screen the whole voucher before rejecting, rather than just sending it back at the first thing they find. My favorite is having to put a statement in there as to why I can't accomplish my business via secure video teleconferencing (SVTC)...on EVERY voucher! Finance, apparently doesn't think my justifications are as funny as I do. But seriously...I'm flying a fucking jet to DEPOT! Is this statement really needed?
