  1. As a 1 APZ guy, I'm also interested in this split. But I'm not counting on this change undoing decades of mindset in the board members.
  2. Indiana University
  3. I plan to. Hopefully we can implement a flight suit policy while I'm there...apparently they don't have one at the moment because none of the cadre are rated, and none of the cadets have rated slots...which is a big part of the reason the Air Force is starting to push rated officers into these jobs after years of claiming we were needed in the cockpit.
  4. I got issued ADUs for a deployment, but finally had to break down and buy the OCPs for my upcoming ROTC job.
  5. So... Can I get them issued? Every uniform is more comfortable when it's free.
  6. "Next scheduled test date will be based on the overall fitness score". Does that mean it's not automatically six months for an exemption if you score over a 90?
  7. I'm going to guess October based on the J1 estimate.
  8. I guess now we wait six-ish months for that list to wind its way through the bureaucracy.
  9. So is the removal of shoes, emptying of pockets, and taking my laptop out of the bag when going through airport security a law, or a TSA policy? While you ponder that, I never said I want government to mandate wearing masks everywhere. I just think guys like this Costco dude are way out of line when they scream at the local retail workers about the store's policy regarding mask wear. Wear one or don't. I don't care. I question the efficacy. But if you're going to bring up rights, businesses also have a right to refuse service if you aren't going to abide by their policies.
  10. Here's some logic: masks are shown to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. Here's another piece: there's no constitutional right to not wear a mask.
  11. Are you one of those people who holds up security at the airport while screaming about your 4th amendment rights at the TSA agent?
  12. I view it much the same way as the baker who didn't want to make cakes for gay weddings. I think it's stupid (both the baker and the masks). I also think businesses have the right to set their own policies. So if they want me to wrap a piece of t-shirt over my mouth to make people feel better, I will. I won't even complain about it. I know what the CDC says now. I also know what they said back in March. So for me personally, I feel like they've burned a lot of credibility. Logically, I'm just not sure that after being told not to touch your face, making people wear a mask that's going to collect all my exhaled spit and whatever viruses I have in a concentrated form, that I'm going to end up fiddling with endlessly before putting my hands on various surfaces and products, doesn't seem like it's especially helpful. But...I don't have the "freedom boner" other people seem to regarding not wearing them. And I swear, I want to slap the next person who compares wearing a mask to the Nazis making the Jews where the Star of David...the whole point was to single them out and make them separate from the rest of the population. Which is what you're doing when 95% of the population is wearing a mask and you aren't.
  13. It's never the first or the last bubble.
  14. No, but I've had a few where I couldn't believe they didn't get fired.
  15. Wasn't the 1 year vs 3 year cuts driven by the SECAF? Yep. Selfie Queen Debbi James decided that we were going to save more money by making all the cuts as soon as we could. Even if you buy that argument, it was still wildly mismanaged. People denied VSP or TERA because they were "too critically manned", while others in the same AFSCs were forced out even though they wanted to stay. Telling people just before Christmas that they may be losing their jobs, but "don't worry about it, just enjoy the holidays". Gutting entire career fields so badly that we still haven't recovered almost a decade later.
  16. Coronavirus. It's a contamination risk.
  17. She currently runs the Ministry of Propaganda. Doing a pretty good job, I'd say. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/10/asia/kim-sister-olympics/index.html
  18. Doesn't the SURF still show how many times you've met a board?
  19. Satellite news out of Beijing is saying he's dead. https://www.wearethemighty.com/kim-jong-un-dead
  20. I got passed over with "if I had one more DP" on my bottom line. Not optimistic about my chances with "promote now" and #5/10 eligibles as 1 APZ. Buy I can stop doing any kind of careerist stuff and focus on QOL. I'll never have to take about job or volunteer for another project "because it will be good for your OPR". There's a certain freedom in that.
  21. I bet people would love to have a slower pace of life if they didn't have to worry about where the rent money or mortgage payment was going to come from.
  22. Perhaps, but I bet in summer in a lot of places car interiors and aircraft interiors reach 150 prior to applying power and AC. And where do people spend a lot of time before congregating with other people?
  23. Organized by dark money billionaires....you mean I can get paid to protest for things I already believe in? Who do I contact?
