It's almost like we can respect women and recognize that pregnancy doesn't mean we should boot people out of the military, AND prepare to fight china at the same time. I appreciate our senior leaders jumping on this right away and setting the tone for everyone under them...that treating our female colleague as "other" or "less than" when they get pregnant is unacceptable.

Link's broken. Last guidance I saw was "conservative and professional". Nothing about specific colors.

State of the Union, 2022

Tough to get the width in the shorter sizes, I suppose. STS.

The thing I've never understood about "cultural appropriation" is that the same people who will drag a white guy over the coals for wearing a sombrero will complain about the lack of representation in the media. Of course it isn't represented...you want to fence off culture based on race, rather than share it with the rest of the population.

Oh, have they gotten through all the prisoners, illegal immigrants, and homeless already?

I thought the major he was responding to made much better arguments, personally. For an O-6...this guy was really lacking in his strategic planning for getting out. I don't know what kind of McMansion he bought, but if you can't make the budget work on 75% of O-6 pay...you were always going to have problems with the transition. Dude is making more IN RETIREMENT than most people make on Active Duty. Hell...he's making more in retirement than I do right now. I absolutely buy the idea that you need to plan ahead, build a cash reserve, and be prepared to expect the unexpected...but I don't buy that staying in the military for yourself is a better option than getting out because your family is tired of being dragged from duty station to duty station every 1.5-2 years.

https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/01/28/as-california-makes-age-a-bigger-factor-in-when-you-get-vaccinated-people-with-disabilities-are-concerned/ California put prisoners and homeless of any age in a higher priority than 50-65 year old taxpayers.

Anyone else think we should just start giving doses slotted for anti-vaxx holdouts to the next-lower priority? The goal is herd immunity. If a 55+ year old guy doesn't want his dose, let's stick that shot in some college kid's arm.

Pretty sure he's got a huge misunderstanding of what people mean when they say "live where I want" if he thinks it means "stay in one house forever".

Shoulda asked for an AFI reference.

Dude screwed up his own life and now thinks everyone should stay in the military forever? Pass.

Hell, "tucked in while not working out" is still a step in the right direction. I've been told to tuck in my shirt while running on a treadmill at AUAB.

Probably right, but then you also have the CDC telling people they need to keep wearing masks and social distancing even if they've had the vaccine. I still plan on getting one... but they certainly aren't offering a lot of incentives to people on the fence by saying nothing will change if you get vaccinated.

About that... I made it on the second go. But even prior, I was doing a lot more than min-running my time and showing up only to fly, and I still got passed over IPZ.

The AF article says they're designed to be worn either way. Let's see if they update the AFI to match the intent.

Not this specifically... but I've never walked away from a conversation about the Academy thinking, "man, I sure wish I'd gone there".

Are we going to get better at telling people where they stand before they're signing their own OPR?

Same. Especially now that she's learning how to drive.

Not a great look.

Capitol rioters also carried US flags, so...

We may not have complete overlap in our views, but God do I appreciate having a rational adult in congress. Keep up the good work!

It's photoshopped. It was a response to Biden bombing Syria after blasting Trump on Twitter for...bombing Syria.

I've definitely done color vision every year.
