  1. I know someone who'd have an answer...
  2. The Ornithologist would in-turn say...I'm not an Oologist! Who they may in-turn say they're not a Chef! https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/oology https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oology
  3. https://www.airforcemag.com/under-new-rules-officer-promotion-boards-will-see-more-negative-information/
  4. Lack of OPR during the disciplined-period for the board to see could be troublesome. It's ripe for speculation without more context.
  5. The AF is/will spend too much time on ancillary processes like promotion racking and stacking as well as ancillary CBTs than actual wartime prep/readiness. This is why the present system will implode a point in the near future, to be designed a new and most certainly commitee-driven way. Lame. Where is the trust and autonomy!? When that comes back, goodness will follow...
  6. Willy left this hot "Chocolate Factory" to a pubescent boy and his always half asleep chaperone Grandfather!? Man, what a boy-teen's dream! ...nevermind till said boy learns who she really is...
  7. Seems all spin...though the K-20 investment got my attention. Direct assessions maybe? Professionals getting different signing bonuses maybe? Preferential placement? In the military installation serving under-represented, assumably minority populations...does that mean cleaning up fuel leaks on Pacific Islanders' ancient homelands? Or can we assume that is PFAS/PFOS cleanup near old farms? How about fuel cleanup near Pueblos? ...which the DoD is already doing.
  8. Hmmm, pondering, that bullet prices have increased and bullets are useful in multiple ways, like you infer bullion. Both can be bartered if need arises. Both taxed during online transactions. However differently, I'd only eat beef bouillon! Some other poor schmuck can eat lead, then they lose their bullion. Anywho... Diversifying is prudent so go with bullion and ammo!! (Maybe some bouillon - gotta eat.) Your portfolio and risk tolerance will dictate what quantity of each. Remember, both are heavy. Effective 4/1/2022, CCI, Federal, Hevi–Shot, Remington, and SPEER ammunition will take the following price increases: Primers – 5% Powder – 5% Handgun – 2-8% Rifle – 3-8% Shotgun – 3-12%
  9. Hunter might ask or think, well, pardon me??? Talk about an ethical dilemma for his dear ole Dad...on multiple fronts nonetheless...not an enviable big guy
  10. AF is being forced by circumstances to change their offering(s)/options, let's see the bureaucracy turn on a dime now with whatever options remain (ex. payment timing, contract length, amounts [under $35k that is]) and the flexibility/options AF grants to prospective 'takers'. Not much else they can get creative with...new buzzwords perhaps... They haven't explored taker-directed payouts, aka taker decides where/to whom the $ goes
  11. Same thought here. Thought it wasn't a coincidence that games end 20 Feb and their naval exercise "ends" the same time.
  12. Makes me think of siblings and balance of power between them/alternatives or lack thereof, however instead of kids think countries. This strategy is akin to the tattle-tale. Parents would be the world-stage/international forum (UN, NATO. Etc.). How often does this strategy work, and whom will the world's forum believe? Act upon? It's also akin to strength of positioning, how often is the tattle-tale in the weaker position? I know the answer with my kids.
  13. Rear-stick flipping the bird!? Guess that's an F-yeah!!
  14. It's no joke, though not common, does happen, have first hand experience. Thankfully in my experience the person was revived, AND happened to be in a hospital because they didn't feel right coming up to the incident. Thank you to those hospital workers/crash team and modern, tried and true chemistry/cardiac-medicines.
  15. With what, do tell? Blue pill 10%? The apnis' 50%? Ringing 5%?....?
  16. Your gain: more promises of milk and honey in the future (i.e. free drinks tomorrow)...gov't issue M&H that is...think powdered milk, not Manas chow hall whole milk that every Bagram crew would hoard Meanwhile, the "outside" offers any milk you chose, all with the cream... BLAB: capped at $35k, AF looking to better $ and contract term lengths...in the future...all contingent upon when govt $$ is appropriated by congress
  17. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2022/january/06/delta-drops-degree-requirement-for-pilot-applicants Faster path to some cockpits now...
  18. ...what's strange about a mulligan (/s)? Anyone who plays AF golf tournaments knows of them! Now, combat mulligans are no laughing matter. Highly selective training pipelines perhaps too. Wonder how this plays out?
  19. In this training climate, it's a swing and a MIF! Regardless of a hit or RBI or goal!
  20. A.dditional/A.lternate -- C.ombat -- E.xperience, eh? Future downrange hypothetical story...So...this one deployment I was a forklift driver, next a copilot, another a bus driver, and latest 'rote my own IPR/Personelist/Finance/CE/secretary/Comm-troop/Aircraft CC...what could go wrong besides all those passwords/login deadlines/currencies on an epic collision course culminating in ____insert your fate here (i.e. futility testing more with less, repeatedly)___

  22. If neither can control it, why mandate things (i.e. isolation and inthat can hurt people's health/careers/lives? Why control people and instead let people control themselves if it makes little to no difference? Is not freer choice better than lessor, fewer choice(s)?
