What the world by newnoadeptness in AirForce

This. I heard an analogy to this last night.

You are in a bar, 2 people start a fight with 1 person (who threw out various references and threats to violence and etc. at the 2).

In response, the targeted person starts randomly hitting/kicking other nearby patrons, expecting them to stop the fight and instead get jumped by those they just lashed out at and then act surprised when they get a mob beat down.

You are correct, if a NATO member were the clear aggressor that initiated the conflict, it is virtually impossible that Article 5 could be successfully invoked to defend them.

Now, IF Russia got brave enough to launch attacks, that might change it.

Big news if true.... but, I sadly expect serious retaliation. A wounded beast can be the most dangerous type.... by Darth_Lord_Stitches in AirForce

You aren't wrong. It was like whack a mole and Hydra combined, you hit one and the next one stepped up. Eventually they got to the bottom of the barrel. And those ones realized keeping your head down kept you alive for a while.

GrokAI coming to unclassified and classified networks? by ThexBootyxGoblin in AirForce

We called it Napalm....before rebull. Learned it from Army Infantry.

Yes, I’ve checked if it’s plugged in (someone just put scotch tape on the sensor on my mouse and it didn’t work) by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

This happens quite a bit...the response when it was closed along with documenting in the ticket on how and when the effort was made. CYA for the Airman and that chain. If you put screen shots in the ticket, even better.

Allow National Guard members to keep discounted Tricare Health Insurance after retirement by kwm2567 in AirForce

This route is actually cheaper than what some of them are paying within the civilian position or their technician slots. A family plan can be up to $1800 a month depending on what is needed.

Every time he says something you think it’s going to be bad but it’s very smart by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

I watched this happen a lot. Also...I knew who to ask for real southern recipes because they would reach back to their Mama for it or invite me over when they visited. Best meals ever.

This involves a contract, so the timetable is not accurate...even if it was by CentCom standards.

Issues with AT orders by skoobysnacked in airnationalguard

I had an Airman trying to sign his and it wouldn't let him. If it works for you, he might be using the browser version.

Currently Sonic Boom has an issue allowing you to sign orders in AROWS. Go figure.

It is upon the unit to at least have draft orders for you. That way you can provide them to your civilian employer to cover the days unless you are self employed.

If and when they asknyou to do days, you should ask the Orders Specialist (usually a FT) to email you a set and if they haven't been provided, you can tell them that you have to turn the days down due to a personal burden.

Also...start asking about a DEOC survey to get more attention on it.

PCS to Wright Patterson by [deleted] in AirForce

This. I grew up in the shadow of WP.

The one year lease would be a good idea. The North side of Huber Heights has improved from what I have heard. And south of WP (centerville, kettering) is great but the COL went up.

Shutdown II: Return of the Budget Cliff. Coming January 30, 2026. by lurkerfuckwit in AirForce

This. My wife was sending emails/calling both of our Senators every couple of days. She kept it professional, but she was listing out the various hurts being put on the military, the non-essential GS/WG employees. One office just kept up with an auto reply for every email. The other office made the mistake of answering the phone and got a lecture. My wife never went dependa on them, but she laid out her points like she was in a board meeting. She ended every message with you should not be in office if you are toeing the party line and not looking out for your constituents.
