The Next President is...
Literally stage left, didn't see that; but saw the laughing Generals Wondered immediately if it was his own foot or the sandbag. Wished for a full viewpoint as that would be a difference

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Everyone has a loud voice about DTS on the otherhand...which will live on now - sigh https://federalnewsnetwork.com/defense-news/2023/06/dod-suddenly-abandons-plan-to-replace-defense-travel-system-offers-no-explanation/?readmore=1

Last minute hasty decision wrought with taxpayer inefficient pork for special interests.- Commanders are dropping like flies this year
https://www.cannon.af.mil/About/Biographies/Display/Article/1895880/michael-j-shreves/ Any words?- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Pilots, shooters, etc don't need functional eyes, they need valid COVID19 vaccination cards with booster annotations, duh. Blood clots, smud-clots - meh 🫣🤔- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Might they be challenging some people's bluffs? Like those who say they'll walk without AvB or maybe (smartly) testing the actual retention rate without AvB...I mean it's been a hot minute since DoD had the legal authority to issue it to members. Maybe they're seeing how many will proceed without it....but if policy is holding it up, why? It's self-defeating- Army aviators get kicked in the nads
How is that? (Even if you are being sarcastic) Does HAF know its own movements? And don't most General's have their execs manage their social media because they must groom future self eating ice cream cones, so Chang is likely an Exec instead...?- Army aviators get kicked in the nads
AF saw this and (put on your tin foil hat) decided to delete MyPers and all its ADSC records database- investing in a jet sim
LoD for medical bills I thought...not SGLI. Definition: An inquiry used to determine whether a service member incurred an injury or disease while in a duty status; whether it was aggravated by military duty; and whether incurrence or aggravation was due to the service member’s intentional misconduct or willful negligence.- Laughlin UPT info
Was it worth delaying a line # 11.5 years? (Jk, kind of)- Starship baby
Seems to be a focus on mission and top leaders enforce capability vs useless political, bureaucratic bloat; a singularly focused feedback loop. Also, stragglers seem to be cut away quickly, leading their corporate lawyers to manage the fallout decisively and quickly, aka 'drag'. Seems market dominance in space lift and other space capabilities is their focus, and all else should/will fall to the wayside. Rightfully so in order to seize the initiative, and therefore reap the enormous benefits.- Promotion and PRF Information

Just wait till this summer's exodus! We ain't seen nothing yet, and the next few years' summer-leaving-cycle will be compounded by continued airline hiring and more pilots entering free agency, combined with expiring ADSCs from the select-a-year-quanitity AvB from a few years ago.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
- Retire then Hire Program
...perhaps like this, similar contract but from 2017.- Finally done in Afghanistan?
Have you been to, or heard of, Cannon?! Or I'm wrong and Cannon is the pre-game to the warm-up of Philippines, no? Because it was in the order of Can-Kun was it not? To settle the matter, guess the US Navy ADVON teams to the 4 new P.I. locales will test these theories...is there a BOATops.net? We need to follow their threads - this could be vicariously epic!- WTF? (**NSFW**)

How...? BoP? Or the mathematics of inflation? Compare these two sources and stories and what they say, which are from the USAF: https://m.facebook.com/AirForcePersonnelCenter/photos/a.399299226864/10155160716116865/?type=3 2017 - Volunteer! ...then a mere 3 or 4 years later...cannot provide what we promoted - terminate midstream!! https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-ending-program-for-career-airmen-to-apply-for-preferred-bases/ ...ultimately, what makes this round of BoP promises, with AvB, different? And if the assignment isn't to a base with your MWS did you just volunteer not to fly?- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Oooh your idea could easily flip into qualify DEI = full flight pay, why, because it makes no sense for such a turn which is actually more plausible in the AF- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Not to mention forced re-tread/re-Classificaton into non-flying assignments not by choice (i.e. flying eligibile, except needs of the AF re-tread...like some CV-22 SMAs are experiencing now)- Lighten Up Francis!
"How about we add 3 more props, and a cannon?" Taller gent says, "That'll do quite nicely", Then the shorter smartass mutters, "but it can only turn left"...to which the taller retorts, "then we'll make a low-level badass version as well!" - Taxes, the Deficit/Debt, and the Fiscal Cliff
