    Afghanistan in the rear view mirror...

    We could have gotten big to get small. Should have deployed a very large force to secure key locations, and road networks...gathered those requiring flights, and departed in a way fitting of the greatest military ever formed. We did the opposite. It showed.

    CFA Pull-ups

    Read the instructions and do them exactly as directed. As I recall, my son started in the hanging position. After he pulled up over the bar...he went back down, then when he hit the bottom...he pulled back up without hesitation. Basically...up, down, up, down...

    Afghanistan in the rear view mirror...

    Everything will be O.K. Brave, young Americans serving honorably will provide a blanket of security. Your boys will lead them.

    Afghanistan in the rear view mirror...

    This is simply not true. We have retrograde operations in our doctrine. We have skilled military planners. Our joint force is the most powerful fighting force ever assembled. This is and was not Stalingrad. We could have deployed sufficient forces to secure Lines of Communication and key...

    Afghanistan in the rear view mirror...

    We will learn more over time. There are many, many senior leaders...most in the Army who will not be shy about this. They know and have known for a very long time the efforts there were fruitless. Political arbitrary force caps..."Allies" with caveats prohibiting "combat" for their...

    Afghanistan in the rear view mirror...

    There is not enough sugar to coat the mess on the ground right now. But, people unwilling to fight for their own freedoms typically live in bondage. They never wanted it as much as we wanted it for them. Disappointment all around.

    Afghanistan in the rear view mirror...

    I don't know. Wish we'd return power to the congress to "declare war." We simply cannot afford to spend the Nation's treasure in nations that do not want us there. We cannot export our values across the globe; some places are simply not interested or ready for them. Yes, it's sad that women...

    Afghanistan in the rear view mirror...

    We should have departed about 18 years ago....that is the truth. We achieved the military objectives. We never had the political will to achieve anything beyond that.

    Trouble in the 552nd Operations Group?

    What people? Define a lot. What system? The truth is: issues are best handled through the chain of command. Period. Hard stop. Every commander has a commander. They ALL have open door policies, and their emails are in the directory. Many time the senior non-commissioned officer is also well...

    Trouble in the 552nd Operations Group?

    Garbage. Every Commander has an open door policy. Every command has an inspector general. Use the chain of command and tools provided...they are plentiful and effective.

    ACT or SAT

    Move on to other parts of the process... That is the advice I would have given my son.

    How to resend link to my new math teacher?

    My son had the exact same issue.. teacher departed for a new job. He worked his butt off to find her, called her, and got the new email from her. If that isn't possible...contact your RC and ask for specific guidance. These obstacles are part of the very tough journey...

    2nd LT on way out over TikTok post

    What's Tik Tokyo? Is it like snapgram? That's how an old colonel does social media....and NEVER becomes the center of his own drama....

    Supreme Court to Review if Draft Should Include Women
