    2024 President elect Trump in a GA prison would make for a fantastic reality tv season

    Spent 3.5 years in Germany as a young Lt/Capt with a dog, wife, no kids. We traveled all over Europe by car—made for some pretty cool experiences we would’ve missed without him (lab/put mix). Stuff like exploring historic parks in cities to get him a morning walk or hikes in random towns. Restaurants were mostly very dog friendly. Occasionally left him with a great German dog lady when we travelled by air. Zero regrets bringing our dog to Europe.

    Other than you.. who has made this assertion?

    Wtf https://www.foxnews.com/media/uk-court-rules-teen-rare-disorder-incapable-making-decisions-care-begging-live 19 yr old girl in UK is unable to pursue medical treatment she desires because UK court and her doctors think her death is inevitable/imminent. How the is this tolerated over there? And the gag order the hospital imposed on the family.. am I missing something obvious?

    Because it is a way to show you are “doing” something about an issue..

    Don’t talk to the media

    False. California requires vaccines for kids to attend school (public or private). The only way to avoid a vaccine is home school. While not an issue or applicable to my family, I’d say there are a lot of dual-income required to live in CA families who have to send their kids to school, therefore, it’s effectively mandated for them. https://eziz.org/assets/docs/shotsforschool/PBEFAQs.pdf Thats a direct link from the CA Department of Public Health website: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Immunization/School/laws-exemptions.aspx#

    You say that.. but I actually think Little Rock is a hidden gem. Is it awesome for a single Lt.. probably not, but someone with a family, you’d be surprised by how much there is to do there

    Sucks that it happened to you, but you’ll be alright. I have a good friend who washed out Viper b course years ago, he maintained the tactical mindset and brought it with him to the Herk. He was/is a standout aviator and dude, he’s done well for himself in his career as well.

    The $500 is for travel only, airfare. Mileage, etc. can’t be used for hotels or a rental. My reserve unit always covered the hotel, whether I was on AT or IDT. My guard unit does not appear to do so.. from what I understand, they will cover AT and UTA, but not AFTP or RUTAs. I’m still new though.

    The $500 reimbursement thing is a Reserves deal, not offered by any ANGs to my knowledge. Which sucks, would be real nice if the ANG had it. It’s for any IDT travel. I think it’s up to 12x $500 trips a year, not necessarily limited to once a month.

    They don’t need to afford it, that’s the taxpayers job

    I found the HR Block software very difficult to input the back door Roth (along with reservist expenses). TaxAct is much simpler.

    I’ve been buying short terms bonds on treasury direct. Any reason to choose a CD over the treasury bills?

    I wish Tesla would put out an update with some sort of twitter logo on the screen at start up..

    It’s sad, it looks like the story board for some broadway play.. patient’s relative crying in the foreground while the frontline first responders do a musical dance routine in the background.

    Special ops fighter pilot. I’m also curious about what a computer thinks the “defensive egg“ looks like

    Which issue? Contributions to zero or the ability to over contribute?

    You win this thread, might be the most WTF article I’ve ever read.

    If you’re looking for exciting flying.. maybe consider Alaska bush pilot or something like a Missionary pilot in Africa. I see job postings for the latter very so often. Flying a Caravan or Porter in sub-Saharan Africa is just like flying a Herk, just a different set of customers.

    Fantastic video from Grass Valley Tanker Base this season, features two (maybe 3) AF vets..

    You speak up, you’re doxxed by the militant tolerant left.

    Two questions, just a dumb herk guy. 1. Why haven’t the services just standardized to prove/drogue? Wouldn’t that simplify our logistics problem? It can’t be that hard to find a way to retrofit USAF aircraft with some kind of donkey dick unicorn adapter. 2. What about a turbofan flying boat tanker? Can operate from all over the pacific and could reload from dispersed bulk refueling stations. I’m sure it would be ugly as hell.

    I saw a thing a while back that said flights pay for TRs/DSGs won’t be prorated anymore; work one day, get the whole month of pay. I think it was supposed to take effect FY23, am I remembering correctly? Is that real?
