About five months to get out of Osan. The struggle is real.

Don't count on it until you've got the paperwork in hand which will probably be 2 days after you arrive at Ramstein.

So apparently, thanks to what I'm assuming was a GOP Congressman, the relevant section of US Code regarding oaths of enlistment and office was changed in October and it is no longer lawful to affirm either oath; you are now required, by law, to swear and state "so help me god" at the end of the oath.

lol

According to JQP it's being used to deny reenlistment if you refuse to say it.

There was a pretty golden comment on the article about how the Air Force isn't the place to be pushing your personal agenda :ironicat:

c-spam cannot afford



I just looked everything up because I was curious and posted it all in the other thread talking about this poo poo. From what I can find, 10 USC §502 hasn't actually been changed at all since 1962. The relevant AF instruction has a change page attached from 2011, though, that takes out a note at the end of the oath that says "(Note: Airmen may omit the words ―So help me God‖, if desired for personal reasons)." A similar note appears in army, navy, and marine instructions. I'm still looking to see if there is an overriding DoD instruction, but the references at the end of the AFI aren't too helpful. They don't even reference §502 at all in the document.

They also never took out the option to affirm instead of swear.

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.

I worked with this guy at Dover when we were both airmen. He was p. cool back then, too bad he turned into a dead rapist later.

wait what the gently caress is with the touch-screen thing they had




should have been a clunky win95 era database system stuck refreshing forever and losing connection, or possibly an a1c dragging a bunch of dusty, steel-cased radios with inspection tags from the 70's out of a closet

Some things I just learned about Buckley AFB: it's in Arapahoe, which sounds suspiciously like a drunken Airmen saying "I rape a ho."

It's in a county that has the sixth lowest population density of any in Colorado, and is 92.87% white and the average yearly income is $37,054.

gently caress me indeed.
