Honest question, what is the difference? I had a PS3 but it's starting to die. Had a 360 too but got the red ring back in the day.

The games you want to play, really. The PS4 Pro was just released and it's objectively better than the PS4 Slim or launch edition.

Just think back to what games you liked to play as a kid: if you liked RPGs and poo poo, the PS4 has that market cornered. It also has better exclusives because of Bloodborne and companies like Capcom and SquareEnix.

But gently caress it buy both with that fat stack you're sitting on :money:

I'm on 3 months of terminal leave with no wife, no kid, no work, no responsibilities, and sitting on a ton of cash. If I was single, I'd go to Australia (cuz summer) and pound jungle fever craving pussy like it was going out of style.

But tbqh I think I'm just gonna chill in my moms unoccupied downtown luxury condo, buy an Xbox or ps4 (haven't decided which one yet) and just play madden all day every day while getting swole at the gym.

Every instinct tells me I should be getting blackout drunk, raging, and partying at the bars which are like literally a block away. But I think I might just be turning into a boring old man.

I really like this post.

I had both and the PS4 was better. The load times and pretty much everything. But you just want to play sports ball so I suggest the bro box. I hear its a better way to meet bros who wanna get swole too.

Actually, I seemingly have them with name tapes and all... and the button on rank. They are the old crappy heavyweight material, so I think I got them ~2011 when they were optional and issued for deployments.

There's a new workplace violence video they put out that has a creepy guy in glasses punch the wall or his cubicle and knocking down a calendar when he doesn't get promoted, making threatening Facebook comments to his girlfriend, and then finally shooting up his work center. It's a lot of fun.

If only he had volunteered to run a bake sale, or acted as a SQ POC for CFC, he'd have got that must promote!

e: my wife is getting to experience air force retardery like the rest of us.

My wife is the front desk clerk at lodging, and a housekeeper found a gun in a guest's room after checkout. No big deal you would think, right? Call the guy, tell him hey you forgot your gun, life goes on after an embarrassed dude comes back for his property.

Nope. Policy says you're supposed to call SFS, who then get OSI involved, and hell why not get the local sheriffs department to come on base too. 4 bored air force security guards show up, an OSI guy, and a county sheriff's deputy. All begin questioning all people involved with such intensity, you'd think they uncovered a Ft. Dix style bomb plot. All 3 agencies work through 2 housekeepers, my wife (heh), and presumably get ahold of all of the off duty managers.

What a retarded over reaction to a rather mundane happening. What makes it worse, though, is that there is never a manager on duty. If anything weird happens the best anyone can hope for is to leave a note or a voicemail for one of the real managers, and hope it's good enough.

It kind of is a big deal. That guy could be looking at federal charges.

Sure!

I worked with a guy named A1C Hartley at Eglin AFB in the early 00's. Back when MySpace was the rage, he hooked up with a 15/16 year old while he was 19/20. NO way could have told she was a minor either, unless you carded her, and be honest, nobody cards girls. She regrets the hook up, reports him, and after a standard trial he gets 2 or 4 years in jail for statutory rape, sex offender registration, and a dishonorable. Will this O6 need to register as a sex offender?

Jr enlisted statuatory rape? Years in prison.

Field grade officer statuatory rape? A slap on the wrist and probation.

And the winner is.... officers. Did you think it would be different?

I'm a personnelist, so... yes. But not really. It depends...

Is that the sort of clarity in answers you get from the MPS where you are?

It may now. The speech requirement for CCAF this year is being replaced. You can now do speech or two written communications classes. I'll need to get to my .af email to get the details.

Incoming pilot.txt post

Yesterday was a fun MPS day. A 2LT from the OG strides into the outbound office all huffy like and tersely demands to speak to someone. Oh, sure second lieutenant, by all means, bypass the other two folks who've been waiting before you.

He gets to speak to an outbound counselor, of which there are 3 for the entire base, and proceeds to begin cursing her out.

"This is BULLSHIT! Why don't I have my ORDERS YET?!"

*a remarkably reserved and patient explanation about his failed requirement to request his ADSC from the ADSC team at AFPC*

"I ALREADY DID ONE WHEN I BECAME A loving PILOT. THIS IS BULLSHIT."

At this point the girl loses her confidence and shuts down.

To conclude, like every single dipshit bag wearing autist in the air force, he failed to follow simple instructions, didn't read emails, and sat on his thumbs for ~4 months because he didn't think he had to get another ADSC again. Never mind that ADSC's run concurrently, and are required for ALL forms of upgrade training, unless specifically waived, in writing. The training after UPT is not, and you're required to submit a request to AFPC to find out if you need an ADSC. 8 times out of 10 you don't, but unless YOU, the member, requests it and gets a yea or nay, you won't get your orders.

This kid had literally 3 hurdles to jump to get his orders, in 4 months, and he failed to do it, presumably because he's an entitled pilot dickhead. He could have literally taken a month off after getting his notification of an assignment, then accomplished 1 thing per month, and still got his orders.

We were told by our flight chief that his commander 'locked him up,' and through our flight chief, offered a sincere apology. Which translates to nothing happened, the poor girl gets nothing from anyone in the form of an apology, another small penis having bag wearer gets to move on thinking the air force does in fact exist to serve him, and it's cool to piss in the face of the personnelists. I bet his commander high fived him.

The gently caress do you think? The 2LT come back and apologize in person to the girl he cussed out.

You know, like how grown adults behave. But we can't have pilots or their commanders seen admitting when they acted like cocks and apologizing to noners.
