Elon Musk is a Nazi? I’ve seen this floating around our disgruntled leftist friends. I can see the left hasn’t learned anything from the November 2024 beating. Taking photos out of context to insinuate your opponents are Nazis is what drove millions of people away from the Democratic Party.

You jest but this is probably the most accurate prediction. The halfwit can’t string a sentence together (hasn’t been able to since 2019), doubt he just woke up and decided to pardon Miley. His handlers made sure he did - which should scare anyone still in uniform how deeply entrenched the deep state is in the military. Can’t wait for DOGE to destroy the rot that has infested the DOD.

You clearly have not read the book and do not know what you are talking about. Know the dude personally, for those still in, USAF is in for a much better position compared to any of the last several secretaries or under secretaries.

Valid, Norty and Alvin are two CSAFs pushing this shit that both happen to be herbivores (which makes most of us AMC guys nauseous rest assured); but in fairness Wilsbach as current COMACC is not and he’s one of the most ardent perpetuators of this standards initiative; whilst former AMC commander said quote “I’m not doing that shit, I’m focused on keeping future AMC crews alive in the Pacific.”

Surprised this hasn’t come up yet in this forum. At what point on the trajectory to CSAF do they castrate you and remove your common sense making you completely out of touch with reality? The music makes it that much worse. BLUF - In ranks inspection(s) coming to multiple bases near you. What about this makes us more agile or lethal for GPC? https://www.acc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/4026100/csaf-gen-allvin-policy-and-standards-update/

He’s a micromanager so not surprised. Surprised a guy that can barely fit in his uniform was a Green Beret.

Agreed with most except 1-2. For 1: sounds a lot like offloading the staff work to the wings (already happens and it’s a detraction). Staffs exist not just to support the commander but to enable down the chain units to focus on tactical and operational mission tasks. A good staff allows Wings and below to get after the mission and advance the ball. I want smart operationally minded bros on the staff getting after the strategic problems and the admin that follows so the wings can focus on the mission. For 2: How many toxic 0-6 commanders have you had? I don’t want Wing Kings to have that much power over the promotion of an officer. Current system is not perfect but at least adds some impartiality to the mix.

I’ve come to expect that the only people who will have serious issues with the American leadership the next four years (just like 2017-2021) will be our adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, terrorist groups like ISIS, transgenders, illegal immigrants, far left lunatics like Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and decrypt democratic leadership in failing states like California and New York.

Won’t last long, someone will get offended.

When Shirts and Chiefs are on about uniform standards, my assumption is that everything else in the unit including the morale and welfare of the troops is running swimmingly. If that’s not the case, those Shirts and Chiefs should lean forward and choke themselves.

Apples to oranges. As the IC director, she will have a team behind her consisting of the SMEs; as a pilot, I can’t delegate out the expertise. Same for most cabinet positions.

Air Force Names First Female SERE Specialist as Chief Master Sergeant

Pretty sure she slapped the shit out of me in RT! -
Yeah F that neocon.

I for one would welcome shrinking the Joint Staff and OSD. I’m all about civilian control of the military but the number of unelected / unappointed civilian SES types running the place amok has got to end. Cut down on the number of JDAL billets as well, send those officers to the COCOMs and MAJCOMs, better yet back to the tactical level where that experience is really hurting. The Joint Staff was always supposed to be advisory and an arbitrator between COCOMs; my guess is Milley contributed to the Joint Staff’s inability to help itself and perform its function due to Milley being a micromanager and just a general POS.
-
Don’t speak about the future CSAF like that!
-
Good riddance, let’s be honest, she’s not the type of officer you would want in your units anyways.
-
He was my 38 IP a couple times when he was a FAIP. Phenomenal dude, recommend his book if you get a chance.
-
Da Fuk!? It’s no wonder we haven’t won a war in decades and pissed away Afghanistan for the world to see.
-
Agreed. Having worked in a COCOM staff, IMHO retired 4 stars make terrible SecDefs (aka Lloyd). They are too deep in the Pentagon bureaucracy by the time they make their 4th star and it is impossible for them not to be biased. Considering we wage military operations through Combatant Commanders who report directly to SecDef, always good to have someone with some military experience but not indoctrinated into the cesspool that is OSD and the Joint Staff. Esper was only an FGO and I think he was one of our best SecDefs.
-
Kristi Noem tapped for Homeland Security, arguably one of the most critical cabinet positions. My money is on Tulsi as SecDef. Man what will you tell your daughter!?!
-
As long as they don’t offload those budget cuts on flying hours like in 2013, or pay cuts…otherwise I’m good with that.
-
Can’t get rid of affirmative action Loyd Austin soon enough. Both OSD and JCS could be slashed in half. Actually let CCDRs do their job.
-
You win! Was just about to respond to the original prompt of this thread from 8 years ago! Still waiting for some type of shinanigans.

I don’t know, I always thought Biden was pretty dumb. I’ve always thought he was kind of an idiot and crackpot going back to 2007-2008. It makes sense, if you were one of his or Kamala’s handlers part of the deep state swamp cesspool, wouldn’t you also want two blithering idiots that are easy to control?
-
Can’t legally purchase or own a firearm because he paid money to a hooker, ask yourself if that remotely makes sense. Lot of self righteousness here; we’ve all done worse in our younger days and you know it.
