If the National Guard or law enforcement knocks on your door, what compels you to answer? Nothing. If it’s important enough, they can get a warrant.

My mother just was diagnosed with it. She's 61 and for now isn't needing a respirator, those she said it hurts to breathe, but doable. She can't afford to go the ER.

How many people on here have pulled their separation/retirement due to this?

You don’t have to call brickhistory out like that.

Welcome to the Air Force.

One of the highlights of Owens' ROI was in his own statement to the investigator. “In history the transition did not go well when a C-17 pilot, and commander, came into a C-130 wing, such as Little Rock.”

Even Rat didn’t do what this guy did. That says a lot.

Here's his ROI. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvmfb0mgih4br25/FOIA 2020-00798-F.pdf?dl=0

Friend of mine made bank flying on the UAE KC-30 for a few years before taking a -46 LTS sim instructor job.

My company said to telecommute for the next month. This is after doing it for the past two weeks. No complaints here!

Considering the incumbent president loses reelection 11% of the time (5 out of 45), most likely.

Does this count? https://theintercept.com/2020/02/01/navy-seal-collin-retire-green-eddie-gallagher/

You posted two state cases/laws that have nothing to do with a court martial via jurisdiction. The UCMJ just says via Article 112a ““Any person subject to this chapter who wrongfully uses, possesses, manufactures, distributes, imports into the customs territory of the United States, exports from the United States, or introduces into an installation, vessel, vehicle, or aircraft used by or under the control of the armed forces a substance described in subsection (b) shall be punished as a court-martial shall direct.” To me, and to some other people, willful involved the element of “knowing” what you’re doing is wrong and against the law.

I don't know if you understand what knowingly means? https://www.justia.com/criminal/offenses/drug-crimes/drug-possession/

The civilian world also is tried by 12 jurors and they need a unanimous verdict, unless a bench trial. Not some panel that needs 3/4 of a vote for a guilty verdict and can get carved down to four to eight members, depending on the type of court martial. Oh yeah, the jurors are random, not hand picked as ”most qualified” by the Convening Authority initiating the court martial. And a juror doesn’t give a shit what the mayor, governor, or president thinks about a verdict. However, panel member may care what a Convening Authority thinks about a verdict. Just like a Convening Authority does care what a member of Congress thinks about a verdict, since it could potential cost them their career. The line to be drawn is a juror being impartial and not taking a cookie cutter approach to determining guilt or not.

The same clown organization that ”forgot” to annotate an Airman’s court martial conviction for domestic violence in the FBI NCIC database. Which allowed him to pass a background check, purchase guns, and subsequently shoot up his former in-laws church in Texas.

That belonged to his stripper wife. The same wife who got off her bipolar meds and then claimed he beat her. However, the times she claimed he beat her, he was at work, which was testified to by members in his squadron.

Women do lie, as do men. The key is to not make rash decision until presented all fo the evidence as a fact finder. However, if a commander is solely using "evidence" from a very biased OSI Report of Investigation, then they might as well just skip that step and just punish the person since they've already made up their mind already. I saw a SMSgt get accused of giving an "inappropriate hug" at a party. The TSgt's wife, who was also a TSgt, wrote a statement to support the SMSgt stating she didn't feel the the hug was inappropriate. However, the douche of Sq/CC we had at the time didn't care, still pressed for an Article 15. The only thing he was relying on was that bullshit OSI Report of Investigation. He could've rolled the dice and went to a court martial, but the stakes are higher, and he had a possibility of getting a punitive discharge and losing his career. If he accepted the Article 15, the Sq/CC wasn't high enough rank to demote him, just take money away. Cost him $5,000 and the chance of ever making Chief.

During my stuff OSI Skyped my ex-wife, who had been out of the Air Force for years, to see if they could get her to say what a shitty person I was. We were on good terms, so she had nothing but nice things to say. That didn’t fit their biased narrative, so they’re excluded her statement in the Report of Investigation.

Forced to retired a O-6, what a hardship.

When I was at Altus the OSS/CC was a 13M.

Years ago two Reservists (-135’s) from McConnell taught MCT at Fairchild to Active Duty. Lasted a few years. They also had an interfly with the ANG unit here too. They only went back to McConnell for drill.

At least in the MAF the problem is bad aviators dodge flying, do the exec/staff/school, get promoted, then make poor decisions about the topic they weren't good in to begin with: flying. The good aviators see the writing on the wall and GTFO at the earliest opportunity and fly for the majors. The bad aviators get out after retiring and go into project management, policy analyst, or some other staff job.
