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.

For those looking for an off-ramp from the operational ARC/AD, a little birdie told me that CAP-USAF has a Cat B opening in the Northeast Liaison Region (NELR). That means you get your AT days and TRS. It's posted on AFPC Secure > Reserve Vacancies > IMA Officer Vacancies > 95XX. Great gig for those of you slumming it around EWR/JFK/LGA/BOS/PHL.

5,800? Was that a typo? The number is a hell of a lot larger than 5,800. I had thought it was upwards of 30,000. Per year? 5,800 might be a little low if you count EVERY airline, but the big 6 are good for around 4k/yr. Certainly nowhere near 30k/yr.

You got it backwards.

Doesn't really matter. Fly a great jet and don't pass up an opportunity to shut up. Encourage your classmates to do the same.

One tweet says an engine a mile away. WTF. Do we know H or J?

Ah, I see now JBLM was code for McChord.

Bradley Manning in a dirndl? Pass.

Or the uniform AFI. Haven't read it myself, but I heard it's wordy.

As of 1019E, RAD is down 23.28% since yesterday's close.

Should I just text your girlfriend when I need something after hours?

Chang just created a new persona.

I'm well aware of the benefits available to active duty members and their spouses. Spent the better part of two decades enjoying those benefits. Did you know spouses were only recently afforded those protections? And yep, you get the same benefits for a couple years while you're on active orders. But once you leave the AD blanket, choose your hometown wisely. You're just another civilian employee as a DSG or Technician.
