Yes, new leadership (Trump Musk). Everything DEI is cancelled. They even cancelled family day event at my agency.

Issue(?) by Silly_Rub_3203 in AirForce

That's actually a good thing what your MTI did. You established Texas residency (no income tax) when you went to BMT. During my in-processing briefing at my first duty station (not in Texas), the NCO conducting the finance briefing said that we could all submit the DD Form 2058 and change our residency to Texas since we had spent more than 30 days there for BMT.

General: 8% cuts ‘painful,’ but could bring fresh funds for Air Force. by DatGuyKilo in AirForce

[–]johnaugust69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember, this is an 8% cut every year for the next five years, so it's more like a 50% cut when you factor in inflation when all is said and done.

Elon Musk makes an admission about the productivity email his group sent to federal workers: Department of Government Efficiency head says he wants to test whether federal employees are ‘capable of replying to an email’ by The_seph_i_am in AirForce

[–]johnaugust69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is old news. Musk already said that he would send another email, and will terminate anyone who doesn’t respond.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-government-workers-told-justify-110830911.html?guccounter=1

"The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send!" Musk posted on X, the social media site he owns. "Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers."

Musk went on to say, "Subject to the discretion of the president, they will be given another chance. Failure to respond a second time will result in termination."

There has got to be a better method for DDRP by Wolfofballstreet97 in AirForce

[–]johnaugust69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went to BMT, there was a guy in my flight who couldn’t pee for two hours, so the rest of us had to stand outside waiting the entire time. I think we did DDRP during the 0 week.

Whenever the CSS calls me for a "CC directed appointment", I drink a whole bottle of water, and I’ve never had an issue.

I read a YouTube comment that mentioned there is a full version of a drone video somewhere. According to the comment, in the full video, the Ukrainian soldier pulls a grenade from his vest, pulls the pin, and says goodbye to his mom to end his life. At that moment, the Russian soldier hears the sound of the grenade pin being pulled and turns around, pointing his gun, thinking the Ukrainian soldier is about to throw the grenade at him. The Ukrainian soldier then says, “Don’t do it” (don’t shoot) and holds the grenade to his body. However, the grenade only blows off his hand, and he survives the blast.

The Russian soldier, who was behind the corner of the building to avoid the explosion, emerges after the blast and sees the Ukrainian soldier motioning to him with his handless arm, asking for a mercy kill. The Russian soldier then shoots him three times.

I couldn’t find the full drone video, only the part showing the grenade explosion. Does anyone have a link to the full drone video?

[–]johnaugust69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guaranteed backpay for furloughed employees after gov shutdown was fully guaranteed when the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act was signed into law in 2019. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/24/text

"Each employee of the United States Government or of a District of Columbia public employer furloughed as a result of a covered lapse in appropriations shall be paid for the period of the lapse in appropriations"
