It's basically the annual physical. The initial flight physical is much more in-depth. You'll be in and out in about 30 minutes, give or take.

Well...now I'm curious what the offensive version of "JM" is.

I suspect you'll find it in the authorities granted during a public health emergency.

So...why even make the statement if it has no bearing?

Try to follow along: the fact that bro bro was sleeping around on his wife and hid a kid from that relationship is VERY CLEAR EVIDENCE that his morals were not, in fact, impeccable. Yet his senior officers made the statement that his morals were, in fact, impeccable. How is this difficult for you?

These same people argue that 18-year-old high school graduates don't know what they're signing up for when they take on student loans.

This is how you get cases like the Marine who spread around naked pictures of another Marine, confessed, every member of the chain wanted him gone...then the commanding general retained him and put him back to work in the same unit as the victim. "Well, he didn't rape her, so I guess there's no problem". Look past Wilkerson. The fact that senior officers are willing to make these kinds of statements on behalf of the accused, in the face of clear evidence to the contrary, is part of why there's a perception that no one above the rank of captain is ever punished for these behaviors. Would YOU have put your credibility on the line for a subordinate sleeping around on his wife, with a love child, by saying "oh, he's a great guy. Impeccable moral character. The highest levels of integrity. Never seen him do something wrong"? Because I wouldn't. But someone in Wilkerson's chain decided that they would. Again...this is why we should punt all these cases to civilian courts. They don't give a fuck about rank, or about statements of character.

Guessing official travel will still be allowed, though?

I'm not saying it had bearing on the rape accusation. But maybe it should have had some bearing on his supporters saying he has "impeccable moral character".

At this point, I support Gillibrand's first idea. Take these cases away from the military entirely. Try them with civilian prosecutors, civilian judges, civilian juries.

Does speak to the morals though, don't you think? Integrity first, unless you have a love child with your mistress.

Life comes at you fast.

I believe it's 30 days from notification of being passed over to accept/decline continuation, and if you decline, you have to separate within 6 months from public release of the board results. So not a lot of time. That said...continuation doesn't carry an ADSC. So you can accept continuation and immediately begin looking for a Guard/Reserve unit.

The answer is "I'll be the FNG Lt and make corn if that's what you need, but I've also developed these leadership skills that I will be happy to use to make the squadron better."

"Fatal role"? People like you are ubelieveable. "The virus is 99% survivable". "This vaccine which has had 2 deaths in millions of cases is playing Russian Roulette!"

Guess my Boeing stock is about to take another hit.

Do you think a cop fired by one city for misconduct should be eligible to be a police officer in another department? Because you're right, there are differences...if a barber loses their license, they can't go work at a hair salon in a different city.

Could have been a simple ticket and a fine.

Maybe it is overblown for cosmetologists...but I think it shows where the priorities are for state and city governments.

How much of it do they have to complete before they give them a gun and send them on calls? Also from the article: I didn't see anything in the article that talked about them doing another 600 hours of training before they were allowed to work, though. Do you have some data on how much training police get, on average, before they are given a gun and put on the beat? It's not in this article.

National average for cosmetologists to be certified is 1300 hours. National average for police is 670 hours. https://www.insider.com/some-police-academies-require-fewer-hours-of-training-plumbing-2020-6

1. Lohman had previously been fired as a cop in a different city after being found "emotionally unstable and unfit for duty". 2. The 911 call detailed it was a kid, but that was never passed to responding officers. 3. From arrival to shooting was 2 seconds. How much instruction do you think they gave Rice in 2 seconds? So, for accountability...maybe cops need a nationwide database like pilots or doctors. If you're unfit to be a cop in Chicago or Dallas, you're probably not going to be a good cop in Cleveland or LA.

A lot more than we currently have. When cosmetologists need twice as many hours of training as cops, it really shows where we are putting our effort.

I don't think police are racist. I think they're assholes. They are just as happy pepper spraying whites, blacks, Jews, Asians, or Native Americans. It's about unchecked power, not racism.

Consistent with the reporting. Do you think policing is going well? No room for improvement?
