Why is she in MN? Shouldn’t she be addressing her failing district in LA? Oh wait, she doesn’t even live in her slum of a district.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
dream big replied to MDDieselPilot's topic in General Discussion
There are currently many senior leaders who do that, affirmative action at its’ finest. I would hate to be hired for a job I believe I earned due to my skin color. Kind of goes against the whole MLK vision for not seeing people based on their skin color but character, you know the rest. -
These “diversity chiefs” and MEO types are the worst kind of people. They are an infection to the military. I am sure the PRC has diversity chiefs in its’ higher echelons...It’s going to get worse before it ever gets better - that or we will go the way of the Romans.

God wouldn’t one command be enough to lose all your hair? The Dyess situation is toxic, not to mention the IG is under the scope as well. Not surprised. -
$10 says iPhones will now become racist next

“I hope these riots continue” Now sitting Vice President Kamala Harris.

Slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese internment, losing the Vietnam war, the Iraq war...and this is what you chose as the most shameful?
-
Probably auto deleting nonner BS emails like this.

Yeah they are both wrong and constitute extremism, why is that such a difficult concept to some people?
-
This day and age a liberal president is more likely to engage us in conflict that a conservative one. How the tables have turned.
-
Not seeing anyone butt hurt? Just making fun of the wokeism that has plagued our academy and the military. Do we even care about winning wars anymore?
-
What are we doing about it? So far this current administration seems to only care about inclusion, uniform changes and feelings.

Much like the O community, there are a lot of dirtbags that make it to the top towards Senior and Chief (if you have ever deployed, then you know). They look good on paper because they’ve stepped over their peers who are hacking the mission. Then they become SELs who have zero credibility in whatever technical mission and compensate by going after mustaches and short lengths instead of helping run the squadron.

I’ve asked various commanders I’ve worked for why we don’t strat more than 15-20% unlike the Marines that strat everyone. Most say something along the lines of “the Air Force doesn’t care about you if you’re not in the top 15-20%. It’s just another method to discretely maintain an HPO system. I wish we would strat everyone 1-n, there should be no question on where an officer stands relative to their peers. But that would eliminate the cat string that causes officers to think that they still have a chance.

On the MAF side, 50% of those selected for Phoenix Eagle did not do residence IDE. Many of them are commanding flying squadrons now. The real benefit of IDE for folks that want to stay in and command is an automatic vector to a staff assignment before DO/CC.

Cool debate and back and forth per usual...what does the congressman think about our discussion? Air Force pilot to Air Force pilot..??

She’s a huge social justice warrior and nonner; of course the dude was obviously the bad guy in this divorce mess. Good lord does she have anything better to do?

What OSS is that? OSS ADO is nothing but queep..

How difficult is taking regular leave?
dream big replied to texancrier's topic in General Discussion
It is an entitlement and most CCs will not get in the business of denying leave especially for life events. CCs also get scrutinized when their members have a ton of leave especially ‘use or lose’. 10% rule applies but like everything else can be flexible with good proactive leadership. Only seen leave cancel for a short notice deployment. -
They’ll be Covid tested though right? Asking for a friend

It’s a waste of time and reiterates why 90% of Congress is worthless; and one of the frustrations that influenced the Trump movement in the first place. Maybe if Congress actually did their job it would help regain some trust in the very institutions we need to rebuild the political unity in this country. After recent events, I wouldn’t worry about Trump even thinking about reelection. “Formal condemnation”, who cares? There has been plenty of condemnation from both sides, maybe focus on why Capitol police officers just let the rioters waltz in, or unfuck the NDAA that you passed several months late, literally anything having to do with their jobs.

We spent the last month removing metric tons of equipment and personnel out of an unnamed third world wonder...only to be told we have to prepare to undo that and put everything back in a few weeks..
-
I’m impressed you took the time to find that. Except I don’t consider the idiots storming the Capitol conservatives. True conservatives value rule of law and order, neither of which was embodied today. Goes back to my previous point that that the extremes don’t define the majority. So I fail to see your point.
-
No one on this forum claimed that the right doesn’t / can’t riot. Most of us hate these idiots on the far right as they delegitimize our values. I would bet every Trump supporter in this forum, myself included, condemns this violence and hopes for a peaceful transition. Likewise we don’t claim that the actions of antifa are representative of the mainstream democrats. Groups should not be characterized by their worst people.

While I don’t think it was Trump’s “inflammatory words” that cost the right the senate (at least one senate seat in Georgia, fingers crossed to keep the other for the sake of this country), I do find Ted Cruz’s grand standing counter productive. I’m obviously a huge MAGA fan and not ashamed about it but Trump lost. It’s time for Republicans to deal with it, thank him for his service (sincerely), and focus on their fight against the Green New Deal and its radical supporters the next few years. Or worse, court packing and going after the electoral college. Buckle in, hope sticking it to Trump was worth it.
