  1. Advise and consent does not mean refusing to bring it to a vote for 10 months.
  2. Can we actually have Congress do their job and pass legislation instead of relying on rule making by executive agencies? This has been going for decades and IMO is one of the reasons the SCOTUS has been "legislating". Poorly thought out or arbitrary EOs are prime territory for lawsuits that eventually make it to SCOTUS. Hell can we just get a new AUMF for our many overseas adventures? I don't think Congress ever intended on us fighting a SMG 20 years after 9/11 using the same justification as that against AQ.
  3. The Republicans also blocked Merrick Garlands nomination for 10 months prior to an election. I do not believe for a second that the Senate would block the nomination of a new SCOTUS justice if RBG kicks the bucket prior to Jan 2021.
  4. I've used the Massif with the mid layer up to -30C at Arctic Survival and was toasty.
  5. It looks like they stole Brevity along with all of the other intellectual property.
  6. If universal health care saves more people through access to medical services in those 10 - 25 years then would have died from cancer is it worth it then? If universal health care decreases health costs because people aren't waiting until they're really sick to seek health care and instead focus on preventative medical services would it be worth it? Medical costs in this country are out of control. If people stop using the ED as a easy button for having a cough or other non-urgent health care need because they have access to other services it would decrease the burden on the currently insured. I agree that there needs to be a period where the pharmaceutical companies but at some point, just like other patents, it needs to go into the public domain. This is especially true for companies that use Federal grant dollars to fund their research.
  7. The nuclear enterprise has something similar. Shouldn't the integration piece be the job of COCOM/MAJCOM staff? Re-distribute the billets to non-NAF staff.
  8. The NAF needed to die 3 decades ago. As soon as we had email there was no reason to have a middle man at took the guidance from the Wings and gave it to the MAJCOM.
  9. The 83 ERQS are only PJs now. They ride on Army CH-47s.
  10. Wasn't Obamacare supposed to be part of that safety net?
  11. April 2021
  12. Kirtland gives an MFR that authorizes proportional rate per diem for your duration.
  13. The uniform reg changed the wording from A2CU to 2PFDU to cover commercial variants. I posit that it is vague for a reason. As long as it's in an OCP pattern and has the patches in the right spot shoes can't logically argue otherwise.
  14. I have experienced the opposite, especially during the last administration. Correct me if I'm wrong but the kneeling during the national anthem wasn't against any NFL rules until the following year. I agree on your other points.
  15. So just like Kaepernick.
  16. I'll dissent as well. The fabric fades very quickly. There are more sizing options than the A2CU but the fit is still poor. The belt loops on the pants are also too narrow for me to thread a cobra buckle through without unfastening it.
  17. We do. The Missileers do. Talk to your RA.
  18. The 36-2903 says that the 2 piece is the aviators direct replacement for the ground-pounder OCP. If you're co-workers are wearing the OCP, you can wear the 2-piece.
  19. From what I read/remember there were issues with the G-suit and the belt.
  20. Probably the Tesla
  21. It was an HH-1H out of Det 3 37 ARRS at Grand Forks AFB. Best place to start would probably be the Base PA or wing historian.
  22. There are two H-1 AFRC test cases at FE Warren right now was well.
