Maybe things are different now, but UPT IP used to be a decent home life gig for the always-deployed guys, even if you were in CBM/DLF/END. More ops-ops will only increase the burnout rate. I know I enjoyed the break from the MAF (i.e. most of the year in OKAS/OTBH/OAIX), even if it was shortlived.

Yes, it would survive a direct hit on Montgomery from a NK nuke. Quit over SOS or spend a brain cell on some movement? Lots of reasons to quit and lots of things to protest; I didn't think that made the list.

Meh, just another academic trying to legitimize his paycheck. His ideas will not achieve this end. It'll only shift the battle lines from between domains to between locales. There's no way to eliminate territorial overlap battles, especially when the perceived relevance of those territories directly correlates to their granted budgets. He said himself, it's just about what you choose to optimize.

Handgrips - Raise, Triggers - Squeeze?

Facilities? You mean the roof of some mud hut?

It is Movember afterall! https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/movember-2017-mens-health-awareness-month/

Yeah, me too.

I'm beyond having a dog in the fight, but is what is basically a cut and paste from the AIM formatted for AF brains worth the staff hours spent to maintain it? In an era of undermanned squadrons and staffs, I'd advocate for anything that reduces the paperwork burden, no matter how small. Flyers will adapt to new formatting.

No, we're supposed to be in the business of killing people and breaking their shit. If the AF (and the nation) hadn't lost that focus years ago, they wouldn't have to worry about WTF D, U, A, S, F, and U are doing. Too bad Blue is more worried about breastfeeding in uniform, fun runs, Asian Islander month, training the untrainable, and zebra stripe dot.

Churches in TX are only off limits if they're posted with the 30.06 or 30.07 sign/notification. It's poorly worded in the penal code, but an important detail.

I guess Midnight Hot means nothing to you?

Here ya go.

AD or all?

No way they let a capable sensor sit idle for long. Too much demand for pred porn.

It's not ridiculous, because that's how the argument needs to be framed. The world does not have a "gun violence" problem, or a "Ryder truck violence" problem. It has a violence problem. Madmen commit violence. That's where we need to focus our efforts and our arguments. Madmen have used fertilizer, airplanes, fire, gas chambers, trucks, pressure cookers, bombs, guns, knives, hammers, and rope. The chosen method is irrelevant. Guns have taken on this bigger than life persona when they are simply tools. AR-15s are ideally suited for plenty of non-murderous tasks, just like rope is good for a lot more than lynching. If the locomotive of society decides that guns are bad, there's no stopping the degradation of our rights. But we'll simply find that when you peel away the "tool" layer, you're still left with a core of violence. The Brits are learning this now as they move to rearm their police. So as to the better idea, let's start with the family. How can we reinforce the family so it can serve as a training ground for acceptable behavior?

So guns are uninvented. There are no guns. Browning was never born. Instead of 59 killed and hundreds injured on the strip, a truck drives into the crowd and kills 86 and injures 458. Instead of gunfire, a pressure cooker bomb is left in the crowd and injures 170. Now what? Somehow when a gun is involved, everyone has a quick-fix "solution." When it's anything other than a gun, nobody has a fucking clue what to do to keep it from happening.

2! Not to derail this into a PMP thread, but do not go into the exam without knowing this process chart and these formulas cold. I wouldn't have passed if I had done just the Syracuse courseware and not done substantial other prep.

In small talk with passengers waiting on a flight or deadheading or whatever, I've been astounded at the number of people (mostly in sales) that are on the road 20-23 days/month. I'm glad they do what they do so I can do what I do. It's convinced me that there is no such thing as work-life balance in many industries.

The AFI is subordinate to the JTR. Unfortunately (in this case) we've spent a lot of years telling the AF it has to pay us IAW JTR because AFI was not in our favor and the JTR trumped AFI. Now the roles are flipped. As much as possible, don't land on bases when you go XC.

Worse. ARC guys generally have the ability to exit much faster and with a much less uncertain future. A guy already holding a purple seniority number, but on mil leave to work at JFHQ after a command tour, is not nervous about feeding his family "on the outside." I guess they'll learn that lesson the hard way.

You're probably asking the wrong forum, bro. Your audience will be more appropriate at APC, etc.
