    Point of order @08Dawg, weren't there purges in both 2011 and 2013, making this Part 3? I can't keep track of whether we have more purges or Iraq campaigns.

    Focusing on the combat capability again.

    One of the biggest hurdles is working cyber considerations not only into new acquisitions, but figuring out how to protect the acquisition/lifecycle chains of legacy systems that were built without a lot of consideration for it. I don't envy those guys having to go to the SPO/HAF and say... "hey, you really need to spend money on this really boring back-end thing for the next software upgrade on this sunset system."

    It's not black or white, except all these places below where you're saying that because CEO X or Investor Y made money, that the working class loses. Keep bashing capitalism there, Charlie; you're so confused you're tripping over yourself.

    If you think that you didn’t say that the workers were exploited (doing their paid job) then you’re feeble minded.
  6. SurelySerious
    Cool, so only single person corporations are allowed so employers can’t “exploit” workers? Let me know how that works. They’re holding down the proletariat everyone!
  7. SurelySerious
    Just unwilling to entertain your state controlling the means of production socialism BS.

    Ok Bernie Bro.

    AFPC is probably banking on sending them to staff, because AFPC.

    It’s not the zero sum game you’re portraying.

    Man, I must be immoral for making money on the stock market this year. 🙄

    It just keeps getting better

    You can highly disagree, but as a mid-level officer I don’t qualify for a dime.

    The people that have the means to just donate their stimulus don’t qualify for it. *Generally speaking

    The government didn’t pay for the auto sync on the chip, expect that with the Amazon and Google models.

    Hopefully; there’s a dude running around in a MiG-23, so someone is bound to be able to swing the F-4.

    And the fucking French!

    I don’t think it would directly increase retention, but willing to risk that and the potential that OCO money would be steered towards capital reinvestment of equipment...because we need that, too. Edit: I largely suspect that the AFG status quo will stay just that so it won’t matter...but if we were to end that quagmire, unlikely the decrease in OCO budget stays with the DOD in the near future anyway, so just wishful thinking all around.

    The real reason the increased bonus or flight pay more in line with how we keep doctors is that the AF would have to admit having a problem to Congress and then advocating for it in front of them. And FLEA I 100% suspect that HAF/AFPC only care that numbers have been made with respect to staff billets instead of mindfully manning them with the right people. Edit: I’ll tell you what I might have accepted a 3 year ADSC for at the end of my UPT commitment: a 15 year reduced retirement, but that’s also not a tool available to AFPC because the Air Force “doesn’t have a problem” any time they talk to Congress

    Not as much an imminent threat as the recent Russian Cozy Bear, but appears the Chinese are conducting more widespread mobile phone intelligence gathering. https://www.yahoo.com/news/china-may-tracking-intercepting-americans-170926880.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/15/revealed-china-suspected-of-spying-on-americans-via-caribbean-phone-networks

    SurelySerious replied to N730's topic in Squadron Bar

    He did, but his role seems clearly to be “good enough to finish top 3 regularly, no unnecessary risk, doesn’t complain much” but doesn’t have a killer instinct. Essentially, he’s going to get round the track competitively because Merc has a capable car and he doesn’t cause friction with Lewis...but Merc isn’t going to keep him there forever when Russell has demonstrated equal ability.

    Cleveland’s Major League Baseball Team Will Drop Its Indians Nickname With a payroll of $45M, guess you have to keep yourself relevant somehow.

    You’re laughable...so you probably have a future in politics.
