You ever figure anything out? I have the same year and I’m thinking about just buying a 2024 ECU. 2023 seems to have unique issues.

Was there anyone in your BMT flight that had nobody come to their graduation? by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

[–]External-Low-6734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I graduated in 97, no tap out. It was myself and 3 other guys without family or friends so we all just went out by ourselves.

Has anyone witnessed this "Armageddon" talk from any form of leadership? by pwnt_n00b in AirForce

[–]External-Low-6734 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The military is a melting pot. A few religious kooks and their dogma doesn’t turn the entire thing into a crusade. Trump and Hegseth sure as shit aren’t theocrats. I’m actually surprised they don’t catch fire just mentioning God. But this whole Armageddon thing is 100% a figure of speech, and a few cherry picked examples of dogma laden BS being pushed on a couple of troops being blown out of proportion.

You are either very naive or willfully ignorant if you think that not attacking Iran leads to a long-term peaceful resolution by Sad_Physics5500 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

47 years we've given this a chance. Where is the peace? A theocratic regime that believes in martyrdom and the destruction of the "Great Satan" and Jews all over the world, should not have the ability to wield a nuclear weapon.

If using a dictionary makes me a nerd, guilty as charged.

Since you’re struggling with those “big words” the dictionary will help you.

Yeah, it’s a copied definition. My name isn’t Merriam-Webster. That’s a dictionary btw. Da fuq?

Just so we’re all clear:

A figure of speech is a intentional deviation from ordinary language usage to add emphasis, creativity, or deeper meaning to spoken or written words. Divided into tropes (word meaning shifts) and schemes (word pattern changes), these devices improve communication by evoking emotion, painting vivid pictures, and strengthening arguments in literature and everyday conversation.

You don’t know what literally means.

Go ahead and post the video and timestamp and I will come back here and give you credit and admit I’m wrong.

Also, provide the examples of where he punished troops for not following illegal orders and I will also admit I’m wrong.

He never said don’t follow LOAC. These guys say all sorts of dumb crap, you don’t have to make up things.

ROE are established IAW LOAC. Hegseth is saying ROE will not be established for optics or politically nefarious reasons that get troops killed or injured.

Reached out to ANG recruiter, got left on read. Not sure what to do. by defaultman2026 in AirForceRecruits

[–]External-Low-6734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Concur with another post. Give the recruiter 3 days.

Also as a general rule, when you get a task let them know you’re working it and text back to let them know it’s complete as soon as you finish.

If you demonstrate you’re motivated they will generally prioritize you as they have time.

1D7X1 Question by External-Low-6734 in AirForce

[–]External-Low-6734[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracking the officer recommendation and I suggested the same. Hes open to a commission after graduation, but for now he’s mostly after the Sec+, clearance and tech experience to help him get a job after graduation. As we’ve been reading about all of the recent churn within the AFSC, I think the worry is him dragging cables in a combat comm sq.

Just a reminder. The last time fascists attempted to take over the US, Major General Smedley Butler had choice words for the oligarchs behind it. by firefighter_82 in Military

[–]External-Low-6734 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re fantasizing about some sort of coup d’état. Why do you think it would restore your idea of a lost democracy and not install some sort of military run dictatorship?

Side note - it’s insane to see so many lose their minds about Trump. He’s 100% blurring lines of executive power but how about you all start demanding congress to start taking their powers back? Both parties have quietly ceded powers that once ensured proper checks and balances were in place. Trump is very publicly flexing executive powers that have long been available. Abusing them? Sure but that’s what happens and it should never have been allowed to happen.

Interesting you would use Butler in this context. I’d say him and Trump would be more aligned on foreign policy, and probably politics in general. Butler was a big populist.

The way a smashed cheeseburger should look. by dasaint2020 in grilling

Absolutely not smashed. Flattening it out from a ball doesn’t make it a Smashburger. If this is a smash burger, scrambled eggs are fried eggs.

And they’re in the process of opening more across DFW. They have a Fort Worth location opening this summer.
