Despite the opportunities given to me and hunting really hard, I unfortunately didn’t kill one, but hopefully next year I get on one

My first season bowhunting public, I killed what I thought was a doe. It was a button buck. Live and learn. Next season, I got skunked. The last 4 seasons have been really good for me. It’ll happen for you.

I plan on scouting hard after the season to get ideas for next November/December/January and plan to scout September for early season.

I have a lot of fun scouting and can’t wait to get out there again to learn some new spots.

Received price of $25k to have a 120sqft deck installed. Is this high?

No idea. Get a quote from a couple other companies and see what they come back at. If it’s in the ballpark, you might as well have the builder do it so it will be done when the house is done.

And credit to your other post saying that they are here illegally and that they need to go. If 100% of them had no criminal record in the lefts definition, they still committed the crime of coming and/or staying illegally and need to go on git!

---

Absolutely.

I read it as the top portion was the total deported and the bottom section broke it down to criminal records, with 2100 having no record. But the chart isn’t clear. Regardless, if they’re here illegally, they need to go.

I had a line number for TSgt. Got myself in a jam. Squadron Commander didn’t bust me down to SrA. Only took my TSgt promotion.

Hopefully you took advantage of that opportunity. My guy ended up getting another DUI a few years later and then popped positive on a drug test and was kicked out. I’d still do it the same way. He earned the opportunity to succeed.

Unfortunately. If she had been enlisted her career would have been over. I say this as an officer.

Only if you have a shitty officer as a squadron commander (I'm a retired Air Force Officer, and a graduated Squadron Commander). I liked to practice procedural fairness, not outcome fairness.

For instance, I had a dirtbag Airman get a DUI. He failed multiple PT tests, had a referral EPR, multiple LORs, etc. I gave him an Article 15, busted him down in rank, received another referral EPR, and I recommended him for discharge. The Wing Commander discharged him.

Case 2. I had an Airman receive a DUI on Easter night. He was arrested and released without the police notifying the base. The only reason we knew he got a DUI is he came to my office to talk to me the next duty day so he could let me know what happened. We never would have known he received a DUI if he didn't do that. He had to do a class and the DUI would be expunged from his record. This particular Airman was, in all other ways, a model Airman. He was a Distinguished Graduate from Airman Leadership School. He was always the first to work and last to leave. He did anything and everything you could want out of an Airman. He had just tested for TSgt and I had a strong feeling he would make rank. Instead of busting him down to SrA and effectively stunting his career for 5 years, I let him know I was redlining his TSgt stripe when results came out. So he still got an Article 15, but his career wouldn't be over. He would be eligible to test for TSgt in 2 more years. Results came out and he made TSgt as I suspected, and I took that stripe away.

Now, at the status of discipline meeting at the Wing, we have to list administrative actions and discuss punishments. I received a lot of flack for standing up for my Airman, but in the end, it was my decision, and I stood by it. I explained my reasoning and the Wing Commander thanked me for having the courage to do what I thought was right. I had multiple other squadron commanders come up to me and say they had no idea you could do something like that. Hell, it's my squadron and I'm going to run it as I see fit.

So, I say that the only reason the Air Force would be a one-mistake Air Force is if you have a Squadron Commander that isn't strong enough to make their own decisions based on all the information. Yes, overall, there is a difference between how officers and enlisted are treated when it comes to administrative action. But with strong leadership, it doesn't have to be that way.

My guess is the perp is pissed off at something related to academics and its not political at all.

probably a good guess. The Louisiana Tech stabber was a student that learned he had just failed a class and wasn’t going to graduate. He killed 2 women as they were leaving the Lambright gym.

I was rooting for Ouachita. Ouachita’s QB (Conner) and RB (Dade) played for St Frederick a couple years ago. Neville’s QB (Robinson) was Conner’s backup at St Frederick. I’m not in the know of why they left St Frederick but what a team St Fred could have had!

I've hunted hard over here the past weeks. I'm seeing bucks and does, but no bucks I want to take yet. The freezer is full so I'm being picky. I had a real pretty 8-point under me 2 mornings ago but he was maybe 2.5 years old so he got a pass. Today I had 5 does come through but nothing following. Yesterday I got to watch a dozen turkeys strut past me but didn't see any deer. Even though I haven't drawn the string back recently, it's been a fun week.

If I recall, you hunt near us. Has the rut kicked off? I’ll be up next weekend and hoping I’m not too late.

I hunt D’Arbonne, Black Bayou, and Russell Sage. It hasn’t kicked off yet. They are pushing at D’Arbonne but weren’t full chasing. The warm weather messed them up but this week should be good. Black Bayou and Russell Sage are typically a week or so later than D’Arbonne. But the rut is more drawn out I believe here. Now through mid-December should be good.
