Politics

I have taken quite a few Anthrax series along with rabies. Its not uncommon.

Storming the beaches of Normandy also impacted quite a few people's health and morale.......If you question smaller risks you will feel empowered to question larger ones when it matters.
I don't think I'd want that guy who was scared of a shot to be in my combat unit.
 
Yup. Totally valid points. I just don't think it's the government's place to be their safety net. Also, because government is not designed or incentivized to do a good job of it.
There’s always going to be a segment of society that is irresponsible. That’s why the Democratic Party exists - to promise those people whatever they desire and make those responsible citizens pay for it.
 
Well there you go all helicopter flights are banned around Regan airport. He wasn't on his flight plan. You know if the airport is 30% short of controllers why the hell are they training. This is all completely crazy.

Because government. Nothing has to make sense.
 
California had elected people that do not seem to be particularly intelligent or trust worthy. I have sympathy for those who have been hurt by this ignorance. Very bad decisions have been made by your politicians. The incompetence of your politicians and policies have kept the infernos from being extinguished. You should not expect tax payers from the rest of the country to fix a problem which is not a natural disaster, but man made.
Himm... Meanwhile California has been funding federal budget along with couple others like Texas, New York et.. for years and that money is being used to fund poorer states to make up for their shortfalls.
California is part of this country not a foreign place.
 
You would be shocked at the number of service members who are not just out of branch height and weight standards, but downright obese. Just do a quick google search on it, I'd wager it's even worse than what's being reported.
True, I suppose times have changed it has been 41 years ago when I set foot on the yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego. As a young NCO, I remember my Gunny instructing me to “PT” a newly assigned marine to our unit who was overweight. Being overweight reflected very poorly on the unit.

So back then, if you did not meet Body Composition Program Standards, officer or enlisted, you had 6 months to lose the weight or you would receive a general discharge. I thought this universal among all the branches back then? We did have a few bodybuilder types who had waivers though.

My GF's nephew joined the USMC last year. 6'6" and 160 pounds (I think he slouched to make the weight). They put him on double rations in bootcamp.
 
There has been another plane crash now in philly area, I dont have any other information, those of you who have , please post.

Not a passenger plane crash. Small plane carrying two people crashed into a mall after taking off.
 
Seems that Putin is unhappy with Trumps Iron dome missile defense executive order.

Hmmmm......sorry Vlad, but you can go pound sand.

He’s what they call a “double rat private.” As an 18 year old I went in marine boot camp at 6-0, 180 lbs and actually lost weight upon graduation, weighing 170 lbs! Then 4 years later upon being discharged from active duty at 22 years old, I was 6-3, 200 lbs. Somehow I grew 3 inches between 18-22.

I hear a lot in the news and it’s hard to know what to believe.
Did California spend 50 million to “Trump proof” California and then beg for fire relief money? You also hear California has a huge budget deficit. Is either true?
 
Anthrax is a known and understandable risk. Inhaled anthrax has a mortality rate of as high as 75% if untreated, and nearly 50% even with treatment.

Note even remotely the same as covid. Further, the biochemistry of floxacins was well-understood.

Curious what you did for guys who were allergic to it. I hooked a patient up to IV Levaquin (floxacin ABX, same class as Cipro) one night. He'd never taken Cipro or Levaquin, he didn't know he was allergic. Took him all of about 120 seconds to go into anaphylaxis. 50 mg of Benadryl IV and another 120 seconds, he was right as rain. He would have died without the Benadryl.
Theres way too much about the covid shot to dicuss in less than 20 pages, thats about how many pages the congressional investigation came out with. what I personally experienced at the hospital I was taken too was that almost all the nurses I had were from other states who fled because they were given the ultimatum take the shot or be fired, also the x-ray tech took it and had caught the covid 2 or 3 times. all the claims about the shot were lies, for some, deadly lies, many young atheletes dropped dead because of heart problems. even Franklin Graham ,who said God would take the shot if he were here ,had to go in to John Hopkins hospital for emergency HEART operation, and I cannot recall the name of the complications. but they were common for covid shot people.
Another sad event was for a DR. to prescribe IVERMETIN or even recommend it was a loss of licenses at the least. Ivermectin is a world class drug and a miracle worker, a nobel prize winner , for the inventor,. May God bless the stalwart nurses and DR.S, who refused to be threatened and intimidated. and may RFK , KENNEDY BE confirmed and cause some havoc in the drug companies and food refining co. they are as guilty as anyone.

It's not news it's a fact.
Also budget deficit has nothing to do with funding Federal budget.

I know of one combat distinguished USMC pilot, a Lt.Col who gave up a promising career due to his refusal to get the covid shot. Less than 20 years, no retirement. I really don’t understand myself why throw away such a promising career? Doing quite well as a civilian pilot. I’m sure there were some who just wanted out and used the Covid vaccine as an excuse as well.

We should first get back to basics, as we all know Liberalism is a mental disorder. When people vote for liberals they should expect to be sh*t upon. When we let the ignorance of liberalism invade an area with no consequences we do a disservice to all involved. Bad decisions come with a price, this is how people learn. The first step to overcoming this affliction is to realize that you have a problem and need help. I stand with open arms waiting to embrace those who want to turn from the dark side. I hope this helps.

Ivermectin is FDA approved to use in humans to treat a variety of parasitic infections including parasitic worms, hookworm etc... nothing else.
Nobody will lose their license to prescribe it for the appropriate use.

So I think he technically could go back in and get back pay and requal as a pilot should he so chose. another officer ,a col. if I remember correctly got booted from the AF Academy in the springs because he refused to be a sheep in the woke agenda, AND Trump hired him for some job to rework the military training ,D E I.
