Not directly related to your post but I wanted to point out that as all deployed locations move away from the reflective belt insanity of last decade, there has been no epidemic of people being hit by cars. No passengers mowed down by fuel trucks on the flight line, no one hit by a car walking to chow. In fact it looks like the entire justification for the authoritarian reflective belt polices and enforcement is total bunk. Time has proven that generation of leadership as completely wrong in their risk assessment. Every O-6 who sent chiefs hunting aircrew without reflective belts really was a total moron like we all thought; safeguarding us from a theoretical but overblown threat, and making life miserable for no good reason at all. It was all bullshit from the get go, and they were all idiots at implementation. One day we’ll look back at this mask phase with the same conclusion. Why can’t smarter people lead?

He’s full of shit.

And then I will. I’m hoping that formal approval will be coupled with formally eased restrictions on vaccinated personnel. just for fun:

No thanks, I’ll pass on the experimental vaccine until ordered to take it.

I think he might know a guy.

Trading a Ferrari for a Miata makes a lot of sense if: - you’re sick of the timeline required to train specialized drivers - you are a mustang driver jealous that everyone wants the Ferrari - you tire of payments on a car that wins races because no one cares anymore about winning races

I’m guessing mandatory by April.

Yikes!

I don’t get it.

In AFSOC, IDE is not required for selection on the EAGLE list but the vast majority of command hires are IDE in-res graduates. Like, 99%. Bode, if command is an itch you have to scratch professionally then I encourage you to attend IDE and make senior raters aware you are interested in command. Command lists are the first cut, but hiring is always a smaller group. As others have mentioned, my experience is decisions have zero transparency and are entirely the luck of who chooses you. Control what you can control: your pedigree and your attitude. Ops command seems more competitive, but perhaps it’s because there are fewer. Good luck!

That works fine, until the legitimacy of elections are suspect. Whether true or not, the perception of election fraud will grievously damage our system.

Somebody does, otherwise they’d leave it alone.

This post exemplifies the real crisis in our country: an inability to talk to each other. Your first paragraph is filled with assumptions you believe to be facts. Your second paragraph is also assumptions masquerading as fact. The foundation of a functioning democratic society is disagreements are civil and resolved by good faith conversations. That means listening to the other side and asking yourself “could they be right? Can I understand their viewpoint? How can I convince them of mine?” You’re right about one thing: we don’t have much left to talk about if “talking” just means I’m brow beat with your opinions. How do you think the country hold together when convincing conversations cease and power is used to force those you disagree with to obey?

Nobody cares about Burma.

Same reason it’s not decimating the homeless population in US. I wish we could have civil discussions about this but unfortunately civil discussion has broken down in our society.

It seems we have different opinions on the man. However I know mine is an opinion, whereas you think there’s “absolutely no question” yours is fact. edited to add: sorry if this comes of like a dick, wasn’t my intent but it totally reads that way.

No idea. Not being enlisted I have spent my career ignoring the position. My comment is based on personal interaction.

Chief Wright was also terrible.

Exactly right. I only hear advocacy for lockdowns from those who are financially protected from the impacts. Additionally, I am unconvinced lockdowns are effective and unfortunately reasonable debate is impossible.

10 out of 21,800 doses from a single facility. Still decent odds but it helps to read the article.

Serious question- has anyone questioned the effectiveness of hand washing?

Is this the dude who kept getting banned & changing his user name to come back?

If that’s the goalpost, ok. Confirm your position is we can cease mask wear once cases plateau or decrease?

When do we stop wearing masks? The goalposts keep moving.
