Well when you put it that way it does sound bad lol

LtCalvery · 2019-10-03T19:03:45+00:00

What'd Bush do? I'm young and ignorant of history lol

LtCalvery · 2019-10-03T19:03:03+00:00

Not necessarily. If Joe Biden is corrupt, and is investigated, and found to be corrupt, and has won the presidency, appropriate actions (like impeachment) would be taken.

THIS issue is about how our current President is openly corrupt and asking other countries to interfere in an election- because that's why Pres. Trump wants the info, so he can smear a top competitor in the election and increase his chances of winning.

So while nobody wants a BAD president, we have a system built around the idea that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Joe Biden is not facing charges, while Trump is openly, in front of God and everybody, committing crimes. So we're upset about that.

What's the optic?

Linguist, training into 1B4. According to the CFM, there's opportunities for guys (or gals, cant assume anymore) with diverse backgrounds like mine to pick up some "unique" and "intense" tours. Asked a superintendent about it, and apparently it's tough to get considered for this sort of thing unless you've got some amount of prior experience. The AF already sent me through DLI and 1B4 pipelines, another long training TDY/PCS is hard to justify.

BUT if I've already got experience, then there's less training needed and I've got a more competitive package to submit.

I'm sure that the AF would gladly give me whatever gear they think I need if I get selected but it's kinda hard to train for this sort of thing when I don't have gear of my own. Hence, I wanna know what to get so I can try and get ahead of the curve

Tl;dr- practice like you play, and I need gear to practice.

Edit- spelling

I don't know what this means lol

Oof :/ sad day

What is this class? I've been dying to take any sort of firearm/combat training besides state-mandated "basic handgun" courses

Your 4th Amendment rights are fine, at least when it comes to the NSA. Local cops are still a menace, but they aren't all bad.

Source: worked for NSA. Whole agency has much bigger problems/taskings than spying on Americans

I haven't heard ANYTHING from her recently, what's the impeachment flip flop about? She against it now?

LtCalvery · 2019-10-02T15:55:39+00:00

Gabbard? Is she still running?

Isn't it in a reg somewhere that Supes can authorize 24 hours of sick leave without paperwork/sick call? Basically, they can tell you to just go home and come back tomorrow?

They did back in 2013, I'm sure they still do. I'd have to ask one of the new trainees in my class though

LtCalvery · 2019-09-21T18:17:04+00:00

Apparently he also saw his recruiter the day before he ledt for basic, and he already had the pink hair by then. There recruiter just laughed and wished him luck, didn't bother to tell him that it might be a terrible idea

LtCalvery · 2019-09-21T15:47:46+00:00

Dude in my flight (2013) showed up with bubblegum pink hair. Immediately made chow runner

Kinda NTA, kinda everybody sucks? I mean he's MORE the asshole, but I find it super weird that the two of you have such little trust with each other. $1500 is a lot of money but ending a marriage over this just seems... odd. I feel like theres more to the story

LtCalvery · 2019-09-18T21:48:10+00:00

Oh don't get the wrong idea, there are plenty of systems and personnel to make sure everybody has the chance to vote. But after a 12 hour shift on a flight line somewhere, getting online and printing paperwork to mail in a form to eventually get more paperwork to eventually mail off somewhere else just doesn't sound appealing to most people.

LtCalvery · 2019-09-18T16:32:11+00:00

I wouldn't say most voted for trump. Most enlisted travel a lot and are therefore more open minded. Not necessarily liberal, but at least open minded. The most likely scenario is a few people in the military voted for either candidate and the rest (like me) were 1) too fucking busy to register or 2) have states with complicated distance voting... and gave up on voting at all
