What happened is a fucked supply chain with microchips that run everything from phones, cars, to airplanes being in short supply due to the pandemic. The lack of microchips is affecting new vehicles inventory making them in short supply and raising their prices. People are freaking out due to the low inventory and now they’re having bidding wars between each other for used vehicles, thus driving up the prices for them as well.

He’s right. The DoD has not figured out cybersecurity, because to do so requires them to spend a lot money. Those go towards boats, jets, and weapons, not cybersecurity architecture or training. Sorry, an A1C or Lt with a Sec+ cert isn’t going to be a SME in cybersecurity architecture. No one will care until it directly impacts their life, then they’ll really start to care. Unfortunately, it may be too late by then.

Are you talking about the AI/ML that’s employed in resume/application screening?

This is interesting. Though not paralyzed, I knew a ANG -130 pilot who shot his leg off in a hunting accident. He got a waiver from the AMC/CC I believe and flew again with a prosthetic leg. I also knew a -130 FE who had a leg amputated due to bone cancer and flew again. Both had to show they could egress the Herk, the pilot had to show he could adequately move the rudder pedals.

Flying long deployed tanker sorties sometimes leads to discussions other than “would you rather…” 😂

Let me rephrase, not born per se, but some people naturally have them. Some people can develop them due to certain events in their lives. People can’t sit down and and learn them in a formal environment like and execute them well. YMMV

As someone with a social science (Political Science) bachelors, a STEM masters (Cybersecurity), and worked for Apple and a software company I can tell you that “soft skills” of just being a people person completely outweigh any technical ability. I can always tell you to read a book and get smarter, I can’t teach you people skills. I see this a lot of project managers in IT fields, the dorks that have people skills because they can speak nerd, yet know how to management projects and people. Reference Tim Cook with an industrial engineering degree from Auburn and an MBA from Duke. Also, the push for nothing but STEM majors always made me laugh. Do you want a society of STEM majors? I sure as shit don’t. In my experience the STEM educated pilots were the worst ones to fly with because they were over-analytical to a fault and had terrible skills. The good ones usually came from a “social science” background.

There’s another workaround. I’m currently a DoD contractor trying to have my company get approved SkillBridge. The Hiring Our Heroes fellowship allows companies to seek out individuals. https://www.hiringourheroes.org/career-services/fellowships/

Some SWA pilot friends of mine have said the flight cancellations weren’t because of the employees.

Either, really just sorta in the brain storming looking for interesting topics.

Can’t take over anything if you’re always in in the ditch of I-25/I-70 in the winter 🤣

I’m a doctoral student at Oklahoma State, majoring in aviation and space. I’m currently researching a dissertation topic, however I was curious if anyone here had some ideas that were aviation based?

Left alone in Colorado? Apparently you haven’t seen the massive amount of Californians and Texans who have moved here in the past 10 years.

You don’t have to be friends with dogfish, you know…

My boss was vax’d and got COVID few weeks ago and he definitely knew he had it. Beat him up for two days then he was good.

He’d be lucky to get a General Under Honorable. If he was enlisted, due to his years of service, he’d keep his VA benefits, like the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, due to having multiple “honorable” enlistments except the last one. I don’t know how the VA does an honorable service characterization for officers in that scenario.

Looks like he fucked around and found out. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2021/10/06/lt-col-stuart-scheller-charged-with-6-ucmj-violations/?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Socialflow+MIL

Same, the military required it.

The SCOTUS rarely likes to take a military case due to them knowing their holding may affect/change the UCMJ, part of the Executive Branch. It’s a delicate dance. There’s two appellate courts for military in between an appellate and the SCOTUS.

You don’t think that his command didn’t vetted all their written orders, confinement order, through JAGs before enacting them?

As someone who got screwed at 16 years of service, just to watch people do worse and retire cause they were over 20, I quickly realized the military doesn’t give a shit about anything but looking good via optics.

Is that your certified legal analysis?

He’s most likely going to get general court martialed and get a dismissal, costing him all VA benefits.

Homie needs some therapy.
