This is a very interesting blog. The author’s most recent post hits the “nail on the head” in terms of the cultural problem the Air Force is facing today.
I’ve started a new chapter. I am in the last couple of years of my military service and am laying the groundwork for a post AF career. I’ve just become a licensed real estate agent for the state of Colorado. If you are looking to buy, sell or rent in the Colorado Springs/Denver areas, please let me know!

Food for thought. Please note the Senator isn’t advocating for raising the wage to that rate, only “minding the gap”. (Raising it now that high would have some serious negative economic consequences.)

Maybe, maybe not. Looking into the details of the proposal, it appears the Hagan-Inhofe Amendment directs the DoD to reinstate Tuition Assistance (TA) at no less than the amount sequestration has impacted the Ops & Maintenance budget. That is, it can’t be reduced more than (app 7.8%).
A couple cautionary flags. First, the text of the amendment isn’t available so only snippets are available. Second, the bill appears only to direct the DoD to move funds from other sources to fund TA. Third, without seeing the text or providing funding, we don’t know what kind of enforcement mechanism exists.
Just some thoughts. Here’s the link to the Senate Resolution (full text not available yet). Here’s the link to the House Resolution (which despite reports to the contrary contains no language about TA…heads up, it’s a large pdf).
…this is not an insignificant victory for Senator Paul. Consider the wave of erosion of rights, from TSA scanners to bans on homegrown gardens, happening right now. For the Senator to get the AG to unequivocally affirm a check on executive power is big.
…no surprise, but the domain names associated with the mainstream potential candidates are already registered, too.

…and Rep. Boehner’s re-election as Speaker of the House affirms this.
There are always at least two sides (perspectives) to a story. Agree or disagree, it’s interesting to note that some would view Galt as a terrorist.
