Lol... a major ran my last SQUADRON!

CRANE: it is my understanding that the base commander (in conjunction with the SF commander) establishes the appropriate base BAC limit. Some bases are ZERO TOLERANCE from what ive heard. You blow anything and its a DWI.

I havent heard much; but from my experience it is almost like AFIs when establishing vehicle laws with local and state legislation. What I mean is that you cannot take away but you can add. You cannot undermine local/state law since your vehicle codes come from that state. So if state law is .08% BAC the base commander cannot override that and say on base is .10% but can be more strict and establish the .05%

It not undermining if its setting a more strict standard. Then it gets into military law/civilian law and the whole shebang. It is really REALLY hard to change things like that ESPECIALLY if you have anything other than exclusive jurisdiction on your base.

Interesting question... I will follow up on this as I am curious. More than likely, state statutes might have changed so the base has to follow along with local and state guidelines.

Thanks for the info. It is not of much concern to me as I do not drink when I am on base. Not a moral or career choice.. but seriously.. unless you live there why would anyone want to drink on base.

But just struck me as odd, because depending on the ABV, there are some 12oz beers that could put me at that limit, which is scary. Just not something I would want to mess with. I wonder if that affects the already dismal turn out at the club.

Someone should do an investigative report on this and publish it in a newspaper on base... hmmmm.

That's adding to while taking away. The people that make those laws/rules are those that never have to worry about following them.

I am kinda whoring this video around, but only because I actually don't hate how I sound in it. Just a documentary about me and my job a friend of mine did.

officer gatherings at the club when it's just my squadron. We all limit ourselves and act responsibly unless we have a DD. Most of us that live off base will just have a pint and then nurse it during the BS/mentoring session. I avoid drinking with any intel officers that aren't my commander like the plague.

also for those of you that like to keep racy photos on the share drive it would behoove you to remove them. This would include the motivational poster of the hottie with the fantastic cans in DCUs and a bikini top stating that the Air Force has the finest women. I'm ashamed to mention what all we found on our drive here and it is well past racy if you catch my drift and we didn't have to check the NIPR drive. I'm sure that one would give me nightmares.

Crane, that video was awesome. I'm not the best at...I guess reviews, criticism? w/e...anyways. stirred up a lot of emotion in me. I'm gonna post that on my wall if that's cool?

[Crane]

Go for it. I'm not an emotional person at all but talking about my daughter is a surefire way to get me to express emotion.

I like going there to pick up deployed member's wives and the dumber easier airmen

I'm kidding but I'm pretty sure that a reserve O-5 left with a dorm airman last friday. I know it was an airman because I wouldn't be caught in public dressing like them.

I think my knee is about to explode

Well SK was busy being awesome at internet speed and starcraft.. so I think we know the real winners here.

[NEp8ntballer]

the South Koreans can also feed their whole country...

So glad I got out of there.

Syria was launching Scuds within their borders today as well. It sounds like they're getting desperate...

In other news I got to stay late today to do somebody else's job. Hopefully they like what I did because I'm certain I can do their job better if they let me. You can't tell people at the daily ops briefing to update the weekly action report expecting them to further direct your request to the POCs within their flight who will actually update it.

I did that before it was cool, when I deployed to afghan. "Either I'm gonna die and not have to pay these, or I'm gonna have a whole lot of money to pay them off." Boy was I wrong.
