There’s extremism in the military. It’s usually hidden due to obviously the punitive actions that could be dealt if displayed. I’m somewhat shocked at the amount of senior ranking people I know who come out as full-flagged racist once they retire.

Why do you have to call out retired MAF GOs like that 😂

If you're referring to happened in U.S. v. Wilkerson, that's not remotely what happened.

Well Senator Gillibrand (D-NY) is slowly stripping the rights of the accused slowly away to try to gain more convictions. Currently, Article 32 hearings are nothing more than a paper trial that lasts maybe 5-10 minutes (mine lasted about 10 minutes). The complaining witnesses (defense name for victims) don't have to testify anymore at an Article 32 hearing, thus not subject to be cross-examined and possibly have their testimony impeached. Regardless of what the investigating officers finds (for Art 120 offenses, it must be a JAG) and recommends, no convening authority in the USAF is not going to refer the charges to a general court martial if a Art 120 charge is attached. Gillibrand will get her way of changing the UCMJ, or she'll continue to ruin senior officer's careers for making legitimate decisions within their authority, but against her wishes. Much like she did to the 3 AF/CC's career for overturning the verdict in the U.S. v. Wilkerson case.

Never will happen in the military.

I mean Boeing didn’t make the engine, so..

I was TDY to Pease ANGB in New Hampshire and a lot of their KC-46 crew members were manning the state COVID mission billets.

With the DoD shit canning the High-3 retirement system, there's literally no reason to do more than your initial commitment for the G.I. Bill, security clearance, VA stuff, etc. I got better 401K matching with my part-time job at Apple than military personnel do.

Not surprisingly all of the board members looked exactly how I envisioned them looking.

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.

Did all of the available B-1 fleet at Dyess get generated for the one in the flyover?

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.

Get an A-2 jacket from Mr. Lim's.

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.

Go to the -135 then immediately do PTX to go to the -46.

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.

Move to a state with no state income tax when you get out?

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.

When people ask if I'm going to get the vaccination, I just tell them my herpes is much worse, so I'm fine.

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.

Especially when they find your mugshot from a few years ago.

Odds that his “Harvard Law Grad” wife is the one who files?

Is there an age restriction where they have to a physical (over 55+)?

No, because I’m not a cuck.
