I forgot I had actually highlighted the relevant passage from Command and Control on my Goodreads account, here it is in all its gloryquote:At Homestead Air Force Base in Florida, thirty-five members of an Army unit were arrested for using and selling marijuana and LSD. The unit controlled the Nike Hercules antiaircraft missiles on the base, along with their nuclear warheads. The drug use at Homestead was suspected after a fully armed Russian MiG-17 fighter plane, flown by a Cuban defector, landed there unchallenged, while Air Force One was parked on a nearby runway

I made out like a bandit. Surgery that went into one month of con leave, two weeks of mission-dependent shift work (averaged out to about 4-6 hour shifts, 4 days a week), two weeks set aside for clearing, then 65 days of terminal leave. I had to do a few last bits of clearing (CIF  ) while on terminal leave, but I was okay with that.

Not the best option unless you have tons of leave cuz you are leaving your bah/bas/cola on the table and only get paid out base rate.

It depends if you have something to do during terminal or not. If you're not starting a new job, or burning that last PCS, loving skate at work for a few weeks and get few extra thousand dollars on your way out the door. You can easily figure out how much you'd make selling it back, so decide if it's worth it. I'm not advocating either way (the smartest thing is to start school/a job while on terminal), but it's an option a lot of people don't even know about. Of course, the skate plan requires a reasonable NCOIC/flight commander, so if your chain is dicks from top to bottom just burn the leave. But yeah I was around 100 days at that point. Had already burned quite a bit in the months leading up to separating.

I think I had nearly 60 days of terminal leave so I filled out a leave form of staying local in my house during which time I changed my phone number and traveled overseas because fuuuuuuck the army needing to know what I'm doing. I don't think technically it was the best thing to do in my situation but I got my orders to get the gently caress out and there wasn't really much option at that point

After I PCSed to my last base, our NCO in the shop was on his way out. He had a bunch of leave to use, which he did but while on it he also came to work because he was one of those people that don't think the world can function if they aren't there. I had a shitload of leave saved up because I only took a couple weeks off in 3 years because I didn't give a poo poo about flying back to the states to visit anyone, so I used it for terminal and got some last minute surgery done at a normal hospital.

Ban me, I’m not military: Be more afraid of biological warfare than of radiation sickness. Breakout time for a nuclear weapon is such that the amount of time needed to get the fissile material, enrich it, have a rocket program, have a guidance system that won’t be garfunckled by spooky computer wizards and be able to deploy makes it, in my uninformed opinion, easy to track. Japan is still habitable. If you’re not fried in the blast, we now have crisper gene editing to fixed whatever chromosomes get knocked out of place by gamma radiation. Again, in the 70’s you could buy kid radioactive material in kits. Some nuclear sights spray paint contaminated debris: if it actually was as scary as people made it out to be more people would be dead. 3 mile island didn’t make giant rats live in New York sewers, tribnoble(sp?) didn’t make large swaths of Russian uninhabitable. Again, MAD military doctrine, correct me if I’m wrong, ended with Star Wars cause you could reliably shoot down ICBMs. THE END OF HISTORY! Now all that’s left is asymmetric warfare, homegrown lone wolf attacks, and proxy wars fought mostly between people living in abject poverty. Be more afraid of track and field chalk mailed to the whitehouse, reefer madness, overreactions, and paranoid group think. E: and car crashes, high cholesterol, and lovely luck.

This was considered a perfectly valid children's book in the '80s When I was a kid there was this supposed children's book about the Falklands War in the school library. It was all brightly illustrated and crazy and Thatcher was like a giant iron robot. Then half way through the book it just starts listing all the horrible ways soldiers died with these full page black & white drawing for each one. Like, "some were shot, some were drowned, some were burned alive  Then i think it had a bunch of stuff about all the maimed soldiers going home and noone caring. It was grim as gently caress and I guess it made an impact cos I've never forgotten that poo poo and I must've been about 7. No way would that poo poo be in a kid's book these days

There was a sequel to 101 Dalmations where all the dogs of the world decide if they should leave the planet because humans are dumb and will probably destroy themselves with nuclear weapons.
