I was a ‘plumber’. Turd chaser.
Plus the armed forces aren’t are falling short of their recruitment goals and the woke BS has told all white people “you are not wanted.” 90% of air force pilots are white males.
The Biden give-away to deadbeat students getting worthless “studies” and “intersectionality” and “critical this and that” degrees will cost us $1 trillion when it is all done.
Thank you for your service.
Hey, this is gonna help the recruiting shortfall.
Have to pay for Biden’s $470 billion Green Scam some how
This is sickening.
Are they still allowed to say Airmen?
Give more money to Ukraine and student loans!!!
Well, the money for all the student loans payments has to come from somewhere.
FACT is that, with democrats, they’d rather sacrifice our national defense for social programs and to win voted. They’ve done it often in the past.
Hey! I have a BRILLIANT idea!
Cut all welfare benefits to illegal aliens, and use the money for the troops!
This is why we are called radical extremists.
So....who will fly those f15’s that fjb says will overpower MAGA folks with mere ar15’s? Inquiring minds want to know.
Are they still on “Special Duty”?
It sounds like they are losing a wartime bonus as opposed to a cut in their base salary.
I don’t know what they get paid, and it’s probably too low, but we shouldn’t continue a wartime bonus if we are not at war. We should instead increase the base if it’s not at an appropriate level.
I’ll wear that badge with pride!
And don’t forget the big bonus Ukraine is about to get! 40 billion I believe? I hate this administration with every been in my body!
Yeh, that will increase retention and recruitment rates. Didn’t see many Officer types on that list. How about cutting Pentagon staff for a change?
When I read the article, it did not appear to describe wartime bonuses.
what does “Special Duty” mean?
I recently found out there was a dead space behind the medicine chests in the AF dorms I lived in. (Homestead) I’m assuming that was so plumbers could access the pipes. It would have been a squeeze getting someone in there, though.
