An LOR in the AF ends your career. As an officer, you will not get promoted again and you go right to the top of the list of the "guys to separate next round of force-shaping," just under the guys in jail/prison. As an E, you won't get promoted again and almost certainly will not be allowed to reenlist. You also get bumped up the separations list.

Booblord Zagats posted:A theory I've heard a lot from some of the people I know who work for NSA/DISA contractors is Snowden was probably getting paid in one for or another by the Russians from the very start. Since the whole thing is playing out like the old days where the Soviets would both disgrace the CIA, pitting it against its own population and disgracing it internationally while still obtaining the info they wanted. If that's true, I'll loving drink to the audacity and flawless execution. Goddrat that would be impressive.

Courthouse posted:The EU has more than enough conventional military power to take any actual shooting war off the table for Russia. And on top of that you have the US. Granted such a war would be amateur hour for half the units involved, but it's not going to come to that anyways. The whole of the EU spends 3 timesas much as Russia in pure dollars. So it's not more money you need (although I'm totally for us getting more better stuff and manpower). We've been over this, and you're still wrong.

For now, sure. They're not as good as F-15s or Super Hornets, but they're still better than most potential adversary fighters. The problem is they're 30+ years old, and at what point do you stop buying a blend of old/newish tech on a maxed-out airframe?

They'll get LOCs, except the one that's had similar incidents previously; he'll get an LOR and forced out. One of the LOC guys already has an LOC for alcohol related issues, so he'll be allowed to finish his commitment or try for VSP, but not reenlist. The other LOC has a relatively clean record, and a PT test next month. When he scores a 99.4 the LOC will be shredded. It's too bad though...100 and he would've been entered into a drawing to get an F-15 fam ride.

Mustang posted:If Russia couldn't pull that off as the Soviet Union I don't see how they could possibly pull it off today. Europe is already determined to reduce energy dependence on Russia. There isn't going to be a second Cold War and Russia isn't a resurgent superpower. If it was it would have long since invaded Ukraine. The scales are even more lopsided in favor of the West today than they were in the Cold War. Russia has nothing to offer anyone and has no friends. I thought Europe was 5+ years away from large-scale NG supplies from the US, due to the lack of ports/ships capable of actually transporting it.

Tide posted:If the implication was "work harder", I apologize, that's not my intent. I just meant "the jobs that will pay better than min wage are harder/more difficult than making coffee at starbucks" I worked anywhere from one to three jobs while attending college. My grades were poo poo and I hated every minute of those 4.5 years. I managed to pay off the debts after about 3 years of officer pay (2 of which I had a roommate to save BAH). I guess what I'm saying is gently caress off.

Best Friends posted:I've yet to see a good article on why college costs keep going up, especially undergraduate. 100 people in a room that got paid off 70 years ago being taught by some TA making 12 bucks an hour somehow = exponential rise in fees over time assessed to those 100 people. Even in those rare rare classes where you have maybe 12 people facing an actual professor, that professor sure as hell is not taking a significant fraction of that cost. Most professors are making less than 3k per semester class. That number has dropped significantly over the past 20 years.

He's a douche, he hosed up which led to his shootdown, he hosed up basically everything you're taught at SERE (they seriously use him as the example of what not to do), and he almost got himself killed by the Marines sent to pick him up by charging the helicopter with his loving pistol in hand.

I know he's a douche because I've talked to him, and the rest came up in professional situations...like the SERE instructor telling the entire class what a fuckup he was. Also Viper pilots talking poo poo about him basically getting himself shot down. Nothing I can link to, though. The specifics of how he hosed up in the air and on the ground would be classified anyway. But after he got back, he thought he was hot poo poo and made sure you knew it.
