Links have already been provided, but there's more below. I never claimed them to be treated any differently while exposed to their classmates, I've simply brought forward sources that suggest they were given preferential treatment to work up towards getting on course to begin with, a perk...

Sadly this will be lost on many. I commented about it a few months prior, however everyone is so enamored with the fact that a woman is at the finish line that they refuse to scrutinize the path she took to get there. It is not equality when a mbr receives preferential treatment, both in...

Absolutely it is. The norm for a rescue op usually requires two assets, however two fixed wing simply cannot get it done. Fixed wing covers the majority of the ground in the search, drops SAR mbrs on scene while the helo makes its way to the site. Fixed wing asset then maneuvers into top cover...

I would get looked at like I had horns if I tried to convince my CoC of the 5x a week program, and their exact response would be “fitness on your own time”. The only people in my CoC I see who actually do get the time to do this are mon-fri officers, who are generally healthier and more fitness...

Same old argument in same old thread. Having an opinion is great, but it needs to be an informed opinion. https://www.skepticalscience.com/climate-change-little-ice-age-medieval-warm-period-intermediate.htm

Pot meet kettle. I don't proclaim to be anything short of an *******, but don't try and play the victim while your hands are dirty as well. It most certainly is not a false equivalence as it is highlights your disagreement with what IS regarded as reality by the professionals in their fields...

Tell this to biologists and evolution, or do you believe that to be unsettled science as well? Individuals may propose this, how it is no the official stance of proponents of climate change because there is no body to make an official stance. Way to lump everyone in the same pool! Numero...

The same people through the same channels that developed Penicillin, split the atom, mapped the human genome and got us to the moon. I can say this, I know of no one that started their career as a scientist and has been in that profession every since that focuses on climate change that is raking...

Simply put, this completely false. https://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-stopped-in-1998-intermediate.htm You may be impressed by his credentials, however they certainly do not make him an expert in this field. This combined with the fact that his argument roughly amounts to "c02...

1. Traditionally it's always been AVN/AVS on servicing crews, but that is slowly changing as ACS have adopted all the safety systems both on and off a/c. Depending on the unit, it may be anywhere from 1 or 2 ACS per crew all the way up to representing 1/3rd of the crew. Our bread and butter is...

This just in, there are trees...so global warming is a hoax. I hear it was cold somewhere too.

That trails into another excellent point. Should a mbr either change locations or have their supervisor changed some time  throughout the year the PDR is documentation for the new supervisor to use to write the mbrs per. I've definitely seen some brag sheets that embellish the actual...

Face to face mentoring and evaluations are all fine and dandy at the unit level, but people are not promoted to progress in their careers at the unit level. The PER process is essential to the success of a members career, and as an extension of that, following the PDR process is essential to...

I just wanted to focus on this little gem. Are you really ignorant enough to claim that because a molecule is small and occurs naturally, that it is in fact harmless in large quantities to the environment and ecosystem? The only thing I can deduce from the bolded statement is that you think just...

Is this actually how you think statistics work? You need to examine correlations between firearm ownership and homicide, not firearm ownership and firearm homicide. Why are you functioning in make believe land, come back to reality. You're never going to put a stop on the influx of firearms...

Are you implying that one is more likely than the other, or are you simply assuming such because one is "easier" than the other? Stabbing deaths occur as frequently, or depending on the year, more frequently than shooting deaths. People are going to kill each other, again the issue is the root...

Successful ones possibly, attempts absolutely not. IMO the greater threat is the fact that our young people are being pushed to these extremes to begin with, not simply that lives are being lost. If a 75 year old man decides to check out by himself in his basement with a shotgun, I'm certainly...

I never buy into the suicide argument. Sure people may be more inclined to kill themselves if they have a more expedient, "pain free" option at their disposal, but why should the rest of society be limited in their freedoms because of the choices of few? This notion that we need to coddle a few...

As those posts were mine, I thought I'd chime in though as I'm being misrepresented. I do believe they can achieve those high standards, I never said anything to the tune that they could not. I just believe they get extra help to have the opportunity to prove themselves. I share a similar...

If you ever get a German to speak openly about the war, they rarely skate around it or deny any involvement. From my experience, they merely express sorrow and embarrassment for what they're fathers and grandfathers did. We do however need to move on, and stop holding new generations...
