FLEA

This is what I'm getting at. Just landed my first post-AD role. It is NOT airlines and I'm still making just about double what I was as a Major. The crazy high pay accessible to officers in the private sector is incredible and the DoD is shooting itself by not doing studies to understand just how much more opportunity people have when they get out. Yes, serving your country is a moral reason to stay but ensuring generational financial security for your family and off spring is also a moral reason to leave.

How the fuck does any person with a general sense of reason and logic come to the bolded conclusion? "If we pay them more they will work less, so don't pay them more!" WTF?

Man I'm sure that episode of Family Guy more than grossed the revenue to cover the lawsuits she filed for it afterwards hahaha. Ahhhhh shit I'm going to hell.

But there is a concern that there is an enormous social dialogue to continuously increase that.

Found out while working with NATO AWACS in Europe that apparently only Americans are actually taught that. Like no kidding, at the egress training the fire department brings it up and there's even been studies on it showing that more Americans correctly react in incidents when on fire than Europeans or other countries. How wild is that?

Cool. Thanks for the reviews. Ill have to see if they have an audio book format. I never find the time anymore to just sent down and open pages. But commutes and drives to work are always free space.

If a military is completely unnecssary to operate in a globalized world--why do we have one?

Different of ways to look at this. The Public Accounting view is definitely valid. A munition has a shelf life and without renewed investment it supposedly retires. That is how corporate world works but the government often reevaluates assets to extend their life, hence why we are flying B-52s and KC-135s still. If the asset has to be replaced and an expense needs to be generated to replace the asset then yes, you can count it as a cost. But you can also possibly say we are modernizing the force as well. Different ways to go about it. Also worth noting, the depreciated value of an asset is not the market value. Those are two different things.

God I really hope noone in the US Public uses this forum to audit the performance of our government....... Or maybe I do hope that, I dont know yet.

There's a large community of them in my city right now. A lot of upper middle class males fled conscription by leveraging international business contacts to get overseas temp work visas. I live in a major financial hub that already house a large Ukrainian sub-population--which is how I became aware of it. Its probably less so a problem than for Russia but its still a significant population. Its like the same thing that happened with Afghan terps/contractors. The country goes to crap and they start making phone calls to people they knew to help them navigate the immigration pathways. Unfortunately for the Afghans that tried this, US military members aren't in a great position to provide work related sponsorships. But with Ukraine specifically they had a lot of trade in arts/entertainment/wealth management with the US and Western Europe.

Maybe it was Paramount+. I never heard of it until my dad mentioned it to me last night. Then I googled it and it looked awesome. Couldn't believe I haven't heard of it yet.

Any reviews on Devotion yet on Netflix? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devotion_(2022_film)

Ukraine is taking heavy casualties as well, and also has people fleeing to avoid conscription. These issues aren't one sided. It's accelerated attrition on both sides. Ukraine does have the advantage of being the defender though. They don't have to have the impetus to act.

Found this on Reddit. Taliban fighter now feels disillusioned because he has to sit in an office 8 hours a day and do queep and Kabul traffic is atrocious.

I'm fact I used to mentor Lt's and cadets it was fine to read but be very careful posting and better to get information from a source you know. By the time you've made Captain you've put up with enough bullshit you know not to take anything here to seriously....... Pretty sure I even have a few lashings from Toro in my ROTC days....

Bro I have been here since 2005 and it was never that place lol.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/kentucky-mom-says-bryan-kohberger-divine-masculine-claims-sent-letters-dolled-pics Just goes to prove their is someone out there crazy enough for everyone. Incels unite.

Eh. We don't know what kind of sensor payload it had yet. Some of those high resolution keyhole quality cameras definitely go for far more than your AIM-120. 9X Edit: Unless you're saying just launch 20 balloons that look like there is something on them but there is actually nothing on them.... then yeah, that would definitely work, lol.

Woah woah woah.... we just going to forget about that Beagle that dusted that Iranian mosquito in Syria? Also, on a sour note, heard ADSB Exchange is going to start requiring monthly payment to access its features. Thats a huge bummer for people passionate about aviation as we are.

No one understands you bro. I'm not explaining shit because I literally cant understand the last 4 incoherent thoughts you tried..... i dont even know wtf point you're trying to make.

What?

I was a low income worker in the private sector for quite a long time. Understand it quite well.

Second balloon was identified now in South America. Biden needs to do something. You cannot show other countries that are boundaries are amendable.

You mean the DNC isn't capable of collaborating a coalition to effectively remove Bernie Sanders from the primary running to ensure Hilary Clinton was "the chosen one" and there never was any e-mail evidence to support that?

Man if I had more time I would love to dissect this for you. But its very clear your bias here and the tint of your lenses. If you think people in the private sector give a damn about "the mission" or "the objective"..... You are coming from a place of loyalty/duty/purpose. In the private sector the only "thing" you work for is supporting a bunch of privledged people line their pockets with satin gold you'll never touch. People don't work for "the mission." They work for "themselves." And that often means coming to work running out the mouth ass and nose because they need to make that rent payment in 2 weeks and they aren't getting paid if they aren't there.
