One positive thing is this probably had the Army work some logistics muscles in moving a lot of heavy shit. Reps and sets on these things matter.

Didn’t like the renaming commission before, but that was at least something Congress made DOD do. This is just opening the flood gates to so much future dumbassery.

When you control the mail, you control information!

Had I gone Tailhook I would have gotten E-2s. There was about a 1.5 month period when I would have finished intermediate that every single person got E-2s.

Swamp gas

Eh the dark side isn’t so bad, we have candy.

Well Jack McCain got out, so other side of the coin?

Fortunately I’m barely responsible enough to keep myself alive, much less another creature, so I don’t have a dog.

I don’t know about y’all, but every day since January 20 I’ve woken up feeling so much more lethal. Like I could shoot my dog or something.

Go talk to the command security manager and ATFP type. They can talk to clearance implications and APACS shit.

Having had the misfortune of owning two SAPFs in a foreign country, albeit one that is a treaty ally, the amount of extra shit we had to consider that CONUS buildings didn’t have to think about makes my eye twitch about this situation.

This. If it remained with the DOD after he left office I could potentially get behind this, but the insane costs to AF1 it out for such a short time is mind boggling. ETA I kinda want to visit the Reagan library now to see that AF1, which, point of order, was in service between 1973-2001...

Meh, as long as he includes a variety of religious leaders and not just his own flavor of Christianity going forward, since apparently this is going to be a recurring thing, then whatever. It’s like the variety of faiths getting their turn at evening prayer on the boat. I would like to hear his...

Goose stepping in heels, that is impressive.

lol

This is a total thread jack, but how did he get pulled back into JAGC as an O5? From my understanding he left the Navy as a SWO (I think O3). The reserves are weird I know, but a cursory glance at the JAG recruiting page doesn’t seem to indicate that you can pulled directly into the reserves as...

We need to invite the guys over at JAGwarriors to weigh in. Maybe Tim Parlatore posts there!

We need a vomit reaction for posts

You’re old. Although earlier this week an ISSA in my squadron, upon hearing my birth year, informed me I was twice her age. That hurt.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/ar-AA1EQZH1 Well good news I guess that we’re saving per diem bucks by throwing these guys on the floors of unused offices and chucking them some MREs. And for all of you guys supporting this I would love to see your response if this is how you were...

Is your forum avatar a pic of you chugging the MAGA koolaid?

Yeah, this screams of not in ICD 705 compliance.

I will say this is exhibit A of why the New Look was a terrible plan

Also who knows how the doc was portion marked. They could be quoting from an unclassified paragraph for all we know.

There’s a difference between going on Wikileaks and looking at a document that has not been declassified and a news article, which is a secondary source. There’s also a difference in acknowledging info. I doubt anyone here has seen the original docs, and if they have, I doubt they’re commenting...

So I need to ask my steak sauce to help me with my papers, not ChatGPT. I’ve been fucking this up!

Safety third!

Wherever you go you’re going to have fun. Go on every flight you can. Jump on some sims because you’ll see some scenarios that we can’t make happen in flight. Talk with maintainers about their jobs.

Although I do kinda remember the gist of our conversation which also makes it more hilarious.

Was drunk when I liked this, I honestly don’t remember what you look like because I was already fucking hammered when we met. But I’m guessing I met your expectations as a short little sarcastic asshole. ETA I just googled your command, yeah, unless I had not just googled you now I would not...

Needs to remove the jacket to show his rolled up sleeves which show his tats plus his American flag belt buckle. Although to be honest I want that belt buckle.

https://apnews.com/article/army-parade-trump-birthday-96bb9c8e9af1ef285c56fdc3d1ba4b35 A little more detail. Hopefully they’ll let them march in working uniforms. Because I know the only thing that would piss me off more than if you told me I had to march in a miles long parade would be if you...

Don’t kink shame my low standards

There is a certain dollar amount I’d take to bear Elons seed. Ugly billionaire South Africans with overly inflated egos need lovin too….but they gotta pay.

So you’re saying you’re dinq then 😁

From what I saw, no. I went to a T20 school (see user name) and during my time there I think over 95% of the mids got their first choice. If you like your school and aren’t drowning, stay there, especially for the degree pedigree. You won’t be in the Navy forever.

There’s also a difference between unsubstantiated vs frivolous or fraudulent. The former, again, proves the process works. Would be interested to see any data that shows how many IG claims that are submitted to be in the latter category. And given how many junior service members truly don’t...

Being in charge of managing and balancing federal vs state funding of flight hours sounds like my own personal version of hell.

And for the record we need Mein Kampf in the library, just like we need every book that was on that list. Let ideas flourish or fail on their merits. Mein Kampf should fall into the latter by every mid who can read critically. As it stands now they can’t fail the others.

You have had more than a high school education and never heard of Maya Angelou?

CAPT James Carville, arriving.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we need a vomiting reaction for posts.

What did I say before.….we don’t do thread derailment here at AW! :)

I know some female officers who have done the single mom thing via in vitro by choice. Not something I would do for my own reasons, but if it’s something you want it’s doable in the context of a mil career.

I think it’s more the goal rather than a thou shalt. It has to do with having your high water DH FITREP in time for your first O5 look. If you don’t screen for O4 or DH on your first look you probably will start your DH tour later than 11 and you’ll likely still be in the tour on your first O5...

Honestly don’t worry too much about what type of squadron you get, you’ll have a blast regardless. I did mine with a Mayport helo squadron even though I’m blind and there was no chance of me being a pilot, thus never going helos. Still a great time, got exposed to a part of aviation I would not...

Derailing a thread? Things we don’t tolerate here on AW!

I love it, a new generation of Ensigns fucking things up in their new, special way.
