It's part of why Staff Sergeant was kinda my end goal: I just wanted to fix things, not be a glorified manager

A lot of GiP USAF members left service this year and last, IIRC we have like two active duty members left.

Supposedly some bases are conducting mass vaccinations, and have JAGs, docs, and chaplains there to immediately handle folks who don't want to vaccinate.
For fucks sake, the anthrax and smallpox vaccinations were unnecessary and would gently caress one up for a day, yet hardly anyone complained about them whereas the COVID one is an actual good thing. This timeline is the stupidest one

Yeah when the anthrax vaccine came out, it was mandatory but they made it clear it was experimental, its insane these people have any complaints other than politically fueled ones about the COVID one.

Yeah A-10 now has wing upgrades and enough retired spares to last well past 2045. Fucker will never die.

I know when I separated the E-8s were losing 4 to the boneyard and the new testbed was kinda not planning out. I suspect it'll hang around in small numbers for a while, or at least until the rest of the airframes break their backs like the ones going to the boneyard. As it is they were looking at engine replacements but had issues with the new turbofans getting in the way of the radar's side sweep

I'll be very, very surprised if any JSTARS are flying at the end of this decade. It's less of an "if" decision than a "how soon" decision at this point. Robins and the GAANG is already fighting for unrelated replacement missions.

Yeah I'd be surprised of the airframes last much longer, they were already getting pretty bad when I left, like I said literal cracks in the airframe.

They found a supply of new gun barrels?

(edit) Also holy gently caress is figuring out a retirement date complex if your calendar doesn't line up like a cheap horoscope. Quick answer is first day of the month after your 20 year point or ADSC, and apparently they're more than happy to extend you to meet that date.

I suspect replacement gunbarrels is why they retired a bunch of them to keep at the boneyard. But I have no doubt if the USAF put in a requirement to replace the barrels they'd find someone in no time.

New 36-2903 officially authorizes standing and walking with hands in pockets, walking while drinking beverages, and various other things.

I'm assigned to an Army post.

Very strongly tempted to just stand outside the PX with one hand in my pocket, walking back and forth while drinking a coffee. Wearing my baseball cap.

We can keep our hands warm? Somewhere a Command Chief/1st Shirt just poo poo their pants.
