  1. Of course the game is rigged. She checks two important diversity boxes, and she was solely hired off that. She wasn't the best person for the job, and it currently shows via her buffoonery on social media.
  2. Did all of the available B-1 fleet at Dyess get generated for the one in the flyover?
  3. The DOJ has said a lot of the QAnon rioters at the Capitol that wanted to “stop the steal” didn’t even voted in the 2020 election.
  4. Get an A-2 jacket from Mr. Lim's.
  5. Military medical "experts" all told me that the burn pit I lived next to at Balad circa 2005/2006 was "fine." However, the VA just registered me in a deployed base burn pit registry because they're afraid of another Agent Orange fiasco like they had after Vietnam. If I was taking medical advice, the military healthcare system would be at the very bottom of that list.
  6. Go to the -135 then immediately do PTX to go to the -46.
  7. The scary part is him and Tom Cotton were on the short list from Trump to replace RBG on the SCOTUS. Hawley declined, which is one of the reasons he went with Coney Barrett.
  8. Move to a state with no state income tax when you get out?
  9. When I was being court martialed for a crime I never committed, I had people turn their shoulder to me. I had people talk shit about me to friends, family, even some people on here on other online forums. Thankfully, I was found not guilty of the serious stuff, but found guilty of the typical malicious overcharging that the JAG Corps likes to do. During the sentencing phase of my court martial the best squadron commander I ever had, now O-6, wrote a letter to the panel saying: ”People are not the sum of their mistakes.” After my discharge board, and being separated less than four years from retirement, I was the lowest of the low. I had senior Enlisted, Officers, JAGs tell me that I would never amount to anything. No one would ever give me a job due to a court martial conviction, etc. I even had a FGO that told me I should just kill myself now instead of making my family go through pain of watching me to turn into a homeless drug addict statistic. I thought about it, and almost did it. But I remembered that saying my former commander said. I decided I wasn’t going to let my mistakes define me. This May I’m graduating from Georgetown with my Masters in Cybersecurity. I just was accepted into an aviation and space doctoral program at Oklahoma State. All paid for by the VA’s Voc Rehab program. I make way more money now than I did as a MSgt working in the KC-46 program as a contractor. I even have a security clearance. What I learned along the way was not just resilience, but I was humbled. I learned a hard lesson that your life can be taken away from you, either by the judicial system, or by those who doubt you so much that you start to doubt yourself. But in the end, you are not the sum of your mistakes, regardless of whom you are. I’m not religious, though I grew up Catholic, but to add onto that quote from my former commander is: 2 Timothy 4:7 ”I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith." To those of you who had the honor of being a commander, and allowed people to rebound from their mistakes, thank you. You’re appreciated more than you’ll ever know.
  10. When people ask if I'm going to get the vaccination, I just tell them my herpes is much worse, so I'm fine.
  11. Yeah I know. His wife went to Harvard Law and is an attorney in Washington State, which he seems to mention 6-9 times in every paragraph he writes.
  12. Especially when they find your mugshot from a few years ago.
  13. Odds that his “Harvard Law Grad” wife is the one who files?
  14. Is there an age restriction where they have to a physical (over 55+)?
  15. No, because I’m not a cuck.
  16. If given a position with a federal entity, or even some contractors, they will pay for your clearance/poly. This is true at least with employment, my I’m a DoD contractor and my company paid for me to obtain a clearance due to having longer than a 24 month break from when I separated. I don’t know if the same procedures apply with Skillbridge.
  17. In my experience being in the MAF for 16 years (excluding FTU time), Sq/CC’s rarely flew because a lot of them were PHOENIX products and what community they commanded in wasn’t the community they “grew up” in. A majority of them were poor flyers to begin. I had a Sq/CC tell me once he didn’t feel “comfortable” instructing in the KC-135 compared to his time in the C-130, so he’d rather just be an evaluator. I reminded him he’d done two flying assignments in the KC-135 and left the C-130 after one assignment. Thankfully, that dipshit is an OG/CC now.
  18. The shit smell from downtown and off Sprague Ave covers any weed smell in Spokane.
  19. Same here. My degrees are in other things, but I still do airplane shit, but get paid a ton more without the queep, but also not the actual flying. My experience in OGV and the FTU is what helped me land my current role.
  20. You should take a job with the least amount of work/stress/queep to help you focus on your transition (i.e. writing a resume, job applications, interviewing techniques, moving logistics, VA claim, etc.). Helping the USAF in any type of way your last year in should be the last thing on your mind.
  21. The day before I got out Flight Med said I had to get a Yellow Fever shot. I told them I wasn't getting that shot and had no desire to visit anywhere where Yellow Fever was prevalent. The NCOIC said if I didn't get the shot, he'd tell the Med Group/CC, since it was reported to her for non-compliance. I told him that no one was giving me a shot and that at noon the next day when I was an official civilian, I'd personally tell her to fuck off. The next day I picked up my records and they said I didn't need the shot.
  22. Except it’s more like having the same job being paid by same employer two separate ways to do the same thing.
