re: Dafuq is Going on with this Aircraft Carrier?

Oh trust me the wife, son, and I know the optempo very well.
The mental toughness comment is an anecdotal statement. Obviously certain individuals handle stress better than others. I just see more issues now than when I first joined. Maybe I was oblivious to it? I just can not comprehend killing...

Yours friends son may have a different experience than others? If he is an engineer, security, reactor then good on him for being able to handle it so well. If he is aviation then his life is probably pretty good right now with little stress.
Also, I assume he is either higher rank or married. Wh...

Doesn't make sense. The parking situation has been a mess for years down there. Its just amplified because the 2 carriers and the JFK crew is already forming.
Back to the GW, I know Brent Gaut (new CO) is one of the most empathetic and sailor centric guys i know. He will find answers and work tir...

There are shuttles that bring the crew that chooses to utilize it.
The problem is the shuttle runs from Chesapeake (~15 miles away). Which is ridiculous. If you live close, you have to fight through tunnel traffic for an hour, wait for the shuttle, then ride the shuttle back through the same tunn...

Sounds like we may be neighbors.
I can confirm the living conditions onboard GW are horrendous and have been for a while. The issues are not unique to GW. All carriers going through an extensive overhaul have these same conditions but usually the crew does not live onboard in this industrial envi...
re: About to be discharged from the Air Force

I agree. I would prefer it not be mandated but it is an order that we are required to follow or face the consequences.
The issue is a lot of people who hold critical skills and capabilities that the government spent time and money to cultivate are going to get out. Also people (mostly first enli...

What is there not to believe? I have been told by several JO's they are resigning there commission and many junior enlisted are dead set on refusing the shot.
I do believe some are just taking the opportunity to separate. Miltary leadership are underestimating the shitstorm this is going to caus...

I can't speak on the AF but that is absolutley what is going on in the Navy.
Everyone has been forced to sign (or will sign) an administrative remarks form "pg 13" that will be filed in there record that acknowledges they have recieved the order to be vaccinated. Failure to do so will result in ...
re: Twitter: Oman & Bahrain to follow UAE w/ Israel
Posted by Boomwayne on 8/14/20 at 5:16 am
Yes KSA is liberalizing but it will be years before any changes will effect Bahrain. Bahrain is different in that the ruling elites are Sunni but the majority of the population is Shia. An official peace deal between Isreal and Bah may lead to issues.
The causeway just opened up for select groups...
re: I read a bunch of COVID-19 scientific articles today
Posted by Boomwayne on 2/26/20 at 1:22 am
The country I live in just got the first confirmed case 2 days ago and now there are over 40 confirmed cases. The government has shut down schools for a month as of this morning. The first patient happened to be a bus driver. Incoming flights have been restricted. Not sure if it's an overreaction b...
re: Anyone hear seen The President in person?

I have met him twice. I can tell you he is approachable and down to earth. Also he applies a business sense to his political meetings and believes we should be good stewards with the peoples money....
re: On way to Japan, Trump deplanes Air Force One to greet troops in Alaska during fuel stop.

He really is a personable guy. I've met and conversated with him multiple times. I'm a decent judge of character and I truly believe he loves this country. How he is portrayed by the media is not how he really is behind closed doors. However he does himself no favors with twitter
