dream big

Idk man I’ve seen it’s value in a certain commandant command. For one, as long as they are prior 11s/12s, they were value added in the AOC when I needed something down range. They were filling spots that 11s/12s would have to fill anyways. They were essentially ALOs/AMLOs but at the COCOM level. They could easily speak to Army/Marine (our primary users) numbnuts on the staff on our behalf so I didn’t have to explain things like tac duty day and crew rest a million times. (No offense to our Marine/Army bros here - just different cultures when you are working with ground dudes). Is it highly likely that whoever was their program manager botched the rollout leaving many of them making corn on the AOC floor? Wouldn’t surprise me.

If no one drove cars and everyone just rode bicycles everywhere or horse driven wagons there would be no car accidents.

What a hot mess. I’m glad it got the attention of Rep Crenshaw but sadly nothing will come of this. We have seen similar stories in our own foxholes but nothing this egregious. The worst part is, this SJW crap only further undermines qualified minorities and women that actually made it through merit.

He’s just saying how most common sense people feel out loud. Initial outbreak so everyone quarantine? Fine. Get the initial vaccine and wear masks? Fine. Social distance and be smart? Fine. Delta, Omicron, masks on masks off masks on masks off now on, the Biden admin and their thug Faucii’s fear tactics and ineptitude, vaccine mandates, said ineptitude bleeding into the military by bullying and ostracizing people to get the vaccine (now booster), “we will tell you whether you can see your family for Christmas,” half the workforce too lazy to work now because of Covid entitlements?! Yeah most of us are tired of this bullshit.

Meanwhile in China…

Similarly there’s a significant portion of our populace that thinks it’s prudent to regulate free speech, criminalize so called “hate speech”, believe in cancel culture and whine like a bunch of third graders when they hear an opinion different than what their gender studies professor told them. It’s pathetic. Absolutely true though, free speech has consequences and only protects you from the government.

In other news, Joe Biden finally admits there is no federal solution to Covid and that it should be handled at the state level. So this means all the federal mandates will go away right? That’s kind of how this is supposed to work?

Capt and Lt close out season is going to be a nightmare for the front office folks in a flying squadron. Unless they break it down further by year groups?

The older I get the more I see those in the chain of command above the Sq level stick their nose into discipline, ranging from FEF action to LORs. Is this normal? Depends on leadership? What is a “normal” level of involvement from Group / Wing leadership when it comes to Sq/CCs handling discipline or FEF action?

Fear and ridicule are excellent persuasion tactics though! The Air Force has taught me that.

Fair enough! I enjoyed my time in the platform, granted it was my first deployment and I was a single Lt..but damn were there some bitter people in that community and I don’t blame them.

Not sure what your last point is, are you trying to say that even Donald Trump got the booster so why would most non-vaxxers (conceivably Trump supporters) not get it?

Go on..?

My bad! Sadly the sentiment you were mocking is more common than we think and not surprising.

Jesus, I don’t agree with those refusing the vaccine but good lord, I hope you aren’t in a position of command or power in the Air Force.

So to be fair, only 2 of those 5 actually got fired, I know still terrible but the Air Force times conveniently left that part out. That being said, not many senior leaders have a vested interest in rooting out toxic leadership, all they need to do is look in the mirror.

Calling him Brandon is far better than the things they called Trump. It’s harmless fun.

Clickbait? Perhaps, but the looniness of certain BLM types leaves me not surprised.

She may very well be the most qualified under Secretary the Air Force has ever had, we don’t know, but thanks to the wokeites we unfortunately question her credential and wonder whether she was put into said position due to other than merit. SJWism is a disservice to her, minorities and everyone in general when we can’t trust the system. Those of you well established in the military know very well what I’m talking about.

YGFSM! These stories make the MAF sound not that bad! Based on my deployed experience with AFSOC 0-6s these don’t surprise me.

Sorry, who is CAT 5?

Former Marine as well! The left HATES her, Tulsi and Haley. Shuts down their narrative. Similarly, left isn’t as happy as I thought they would be that the killers in the Aurbery case have been found guilty (by a predominantly white jury). Makes you wonder sometimes.

You are absolutely correct, neither party has a monopoly on hypocrisy, corruption and generally screwing over the American people. This is why most of us common sense conservatives fight so hard for small government, one which no matter which side is in power, the damage will be minimal. The problem is this line of thinking is so rare, everyone looks to the government to solve their problems; it doesn’t help when mainstream parties perpetuate the cycle of dependence at the expense of the American worker.

What is most concerning about Biden’s (or rather whoever is pulling his puppet strings) vaccine mandate for civilians is the precedent it sets. Vaccine mandate -> “health and safety”. What happens when the climate nazis gain enough influence to lobby, say, forced sterilizations or abortions to “limit population overgrowth and enforce general health and safety.”? Are Orwellian and Dystopian policies really that far out of the realm of possibility with the current path we are on? This should concern you even if you vote Blue.

Par for the course for the average Bernie supporter.
