dream big

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.

The back and forth here highlights one of the top problems in this country : the two party system. It’s always either-or, for or against, black and white (or in this case blue and red). It’s 2021, yet we decide the most important office in the world in a dichotomy. I don’t agree with a lot of what you said (Trump had a big mouth but to blame him for the 06 Jan riots is simplistic at best. There were thousands of peaceful protestors that day, a few idiots decided to take it too far…almost kind of like to Floyd protests, weird)..but I don’t blame you for feeling that way considering we are only given two choices. While I voted for Trump twice no question, and think Biden is a bumbling embarrassment, I don’t blame Biden voters. I blame this corrupt two party system that only serves itself. To that end, that is why I think Trump was so important to the average American, and to the same token - why I’m a big Tulsi fan.

Dude I’m a big fan of people being vaccinated, I convinced almost everyone in my entire deployed Sq to get the vaccine without an IG complaint before it was mandatory. I didn’t piss on the guys who declined. I understood their skepticism and exhibited a degree of empathy. Having some might make you more successful to your cause. I don’t blame the skepticism, especially after all the shenanigans with Faucci, the politicization (on both sides) and not to mention until about a month ago Pfizer was NOT officially FDA approved.

Self righteous high horsers like Prozac are the reason skepticism for the vaccine is so high. Insulting people to convince them to do something has never worked.

Gross

My distrust of Kinzinger has very little to do with his disdain for Trump but more so his willingness to sway with the winds of whatever popular opinion prevails. Like most politicians, red or blue, he is an opportunist. I trust Tulsi more than I trust him and I consistently vote Red!

The handle to the cargo ramp spotlight. Rare copilot hazing question!
