  4. Used to happen a lot in the Army during the various cut back eras (RIF-Reduction in Force). Plus one could resign and after a bunch of paper work go into the Reserves or Guard enlisted. I had a 1SG who was a Major, got "RIFed", became a SSG E-6 made it up to 1SG E-8, but when he walked across the Stage for his retirement ceremony he was wearing his Major rank (you retire at the Highest Rank held). There was one real asshat LT who always made a point of making the 1SG Salute him, the look on his face when he saw the Major Rank was priceless! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  5. Saw a city inspector today taking a pic of one of the stickers and putting it in a log. I walked up and told him I had been following the story and he explained he is going back and finding that AST lied about the stickers the reported to have taken down. I told him of the accusation (here) of some one setting them up and he laughed, he was one of many Inspectors who was putting up the "illegal signs" stickers as ordered by the Prosecuting Attorney. The inspector said the city is going after fines and contempt charges now. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  8. That was kind of how TN went down, "won the battle", but "lost the war" though. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  9. Did any one see the irony of the scam alert posted right over it? Now as to the flagging. I agree with the desire to want to stop a company that makes most of its money through fraudulent advertising. I agree that they should be tried and if found guilty convicted, all of the staff and ownership. But I am not sure I would agree to flagging a post, it seems on the up and up, yes they are for a company that uses fraudulent advertising and web pages to make 23+ million a year. I agree with stratostar, post truth adds. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  10. If the Dem's are not sure who to put up, is there a chance they screw up and miss a deadline and have to try and put up a "hail Mary"? Just seems that this is playing in the Republicans favor, they have a guy all supported to try and bump out the incumbent, then bam. no Dem to run against but still holding all the support needed to win. TN had a bit of a snafu with the Dem party last year and they have been suffering for it since. They turned on one of their leaders of the Party since she used common sense and at times voted for the greater good of the state and not only her party. So they decided that even though she won the primary not to honor her win and poured all their efforts into electing a unknown "Yes Man". They neglected their other contests and lost them, but they did toss out their "old Speaker". They ended up losing the majority. I know that was state level and this is National level but it seems that although the Republicans are screwed up the Democrats are following their lead across the board.

  11. But wouldn't the Opposing Candidates already have declared their intent to run by now? If he was to run against them, they would already be lined up. If any thing I think this would upset any Dem Candidate who may have sat out since he held the seat (unless he talked it over and they new, like you pointed out) thinking he would be the one to get the nod.

  12. AH, a loaded question! But it did look nice! Remind me to tell you about the B-2 that arrived 2 minutes early in KS on a demo jump for a NASCAR Race. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. Still used today with the location adjusted. When I was a Black Hat at Benning I would sing it and of course I would choose the wrong time to sing as we passed ABN School HQ and a staffer would hear it and snitch on me. It is that new PC thing after all. Kind of like the time the students decided not to sound off so I stopped the formation in the middle of the road and proceeded to smoke them for 30 or so minutes. The only reason I didn't killed by the CSM was I did all the exercises with the students while he watched from his office. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  22. Letterman came up with the idea. Called Jay and he loved it. They got NBC to allow Jay in it.
