  1. I think he's cautioning her against the legal consequences of encouraging mob violence should her followers follow her prompting. Or, it could be a reminder that this is an election year, and the political ramifications of people following her advice could negatively affect her chances.
  2. PRFs should have four lines for the senior rater to fill out. 1. This candidate meets all eligibility requirements for promotion. YES/NO (no requires mandatory comment) 2. I have reviewed this candidates record and found no derogatory information. YES/NO (no is mandatory comment) 3. Strat. My #______/________ for this board. 4. DP/P/DNP Everything else the PRF communicates is already captured in the promotion record.
  3. Yes, it passed in the house in 2017 but died in the Senate due to AF opposition at the time. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2810/text/eh#toc-HD6CAA416CAF74D1B9DE4FC89CF24A69F Text below of what passed. Based on today's announcement of it being organized similarly to the Marines relationship with Navy, I'd expect it to be similar to what passed previously ----------------------------------- Establishment.—Not later than January 1, 2019, the Secretary of Defense shall establish in the executive part of the Department of the Air Force a Space Corps. The function of the Space Corps shall be to assist the Secretary of the Air Force in carrying out the duties described in subsection Composition.—The Space Corps shall be composed of the following: The Chief of Staff of the Space Corps. Such other offices and officials as may be established by law or as the Secretary of the Air Force, in consultation with the Chief of Staff of the Space Corps, may establish or designate. Duties.—Except as otherwise specifically prescribed by law, the Space Corps shall be organized in such manner, and the members of the Space Corps shall perform, such duties and have such titles, as the Secretary may prescribe. Such duties shall include— (1) protecting the interests of the United States in space; (2) deterring aggression in, from, and through space; (3) providing combat-ready space forces that enable the commanders of the combatant commands to fight and win wars; (4) organizing, training, and equipping space forces; and (5) conducting space operations of the Space Corps under the command of the Commander of the United States Space Command.
  4. "separate but equal" to the AF https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/18/politics/trump-space-force-air-force/index.html
  5. There's good flying, good traveling, and good living. Pick two.
  6. Virtual promotion party on bodn. He'll have to mail out drinks.
  7. Not comfortably
  8. Mutually exclusive.
  9. Obama's 'pen and phone' set the landscape for what Democrats fear most from the current administration. Perhaps the greatest lesson both parties should learn from Obama is that the pen of executive fiat is always inherited with an equally potent eraser. Arduous though it is, bipartisan compromise is almost always the better path to lasting change.
  10. I thought that it was the tie you got for free. Doesn't punching just make you 'eligible' to buy the watch?
  11. AFI51-604 para 10 is the reference you're looking for. Emphasis added. "Only line of the AF officers with a current aeronautical rating, as defined by AFI 11-402, may command flying units (any unit that has flying, planning and directing the employment of manned and remotely piloted aircraft as their primary mission). The rated officer must hold a currently effective aeronautical rating or crewmember certification, and must be qualified for aviation service in an airframe flown by the unit to be commanded. (T-1)"
  12. ANG Pros: You're in control of your life. AD Pros: Luck and timing will occasionally come up JACKPOT and you can do cool stuff you never expected.
  13. That's what allotments are for, right?
  14. Does this mean we'll start buying/paying for our flight suits?
  15. When I was a young Airman, making $1k/mo, those discounts mattered a lot. I happily took them, along with food stamps and WIC, so my family could eat. Today, with a much healthier budget, I still like to say thank you by supporting the businesses that offer them. At restaurants, specifically, I tip back the entirety of the discount to the waitstaff on top of normal tip. Personal choice. In terms of plates, most Texans don't park in the Randolph parking lot. They do, however, see a random MSM plate in their town and feel a swell of pride and patriotism. I know, because I was once that young kid in a non-military heavy Texas town. Yes, the free registration is nice, but it also plays a small part in preserving Texas culture.
  16. quoted for truth (emphasis added)
  17. Should they really punish her? As a public affairs troop, she literally led her shop to produce the most widely shared and talked about social media engagement campaign in PA history.
  18. What about really tall middle aged dudes that are kinda heavy?
  19. Starting point is EO 12968. POTUS can add/delete/grant/etc as desired. Security is an executive (presidential) program.
  20. I've purchased 4 homes. After the debacle that was buying a house in Clovis, NM, my #1 rule is 'only buy a home in a place you'd like to stay.'
  21. Memory is fuzzy, but I seem to remember filling out an 'intent to occupy as primary residence' last time I qualified for a VA loan.
  22. Good topic. Which ADSCs are waiverable if you're eligible to retire? Promotion? PCS? IDE/SDE?
  23. AFI36-3003 4.1.1.2. Unit Approval Level. Unit commanders are the approval authority for annual leave requests and normally delegate approval to a level no lower than the first-line supervisor. Supervisor is just the lower-limit of delegation. Talk to your flt/cc about what happened. Should be an easy fix.
