Sgt, I know dozens of people who were in the AF that never deployed or were sent TDY. That's not uncommon at all. Other's like myself deployed over and over world wide.
This forum and the old purple board have been populated by veterans from every branch, and various occupations. We lost one of my dear friends and former Navy seal a year ago. Another of my dear friends is a former grunt and purple heart recipient. So I try very much to not make assumptions about service because you never really know until the relationships are formed. Additionally I am of the opinion that it doesn't matter what you did or in what branch you served, you served and that's enough.

This comment was what I was talking about, no one has been deployed 100s of times. TDY yes but not deployed.Tbeck wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2023 9:01 amSJ and Herb, well I guess I wasn't deployed, and wasn't policing , providing humanity aide, tracking down warlord's, etc...during all the hundred's of deployments I was sent on. Must have been my imagination.
Herb the posse c doesn't apply in this instance. They aren't being sent for "domestic policing" because they aren't going to police Americans. Their deploying for national defense which is their function.
If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.

Re: Make the Military Weak Again !!!!
Again, T is wrong, they are being sent to help with policing the crowds and assiting the BP with their job of POLICING. They are not being sent to stop the border invasion.sgtcall wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 6:41 pmTbeck wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 2:01 pmSgt, I know dozens of people who were in the AF that never deployed or were sent TDY.

BTW, the Corps calls TDY "Temporary Additional Duty", it is for individual orders of a temporary nature. Things like schools, and maybe a temporary duty with another unit but the individual still belongs to the main command.
Deployments are ONLY for Units. When a part of unit goes to work with other units, these are called Detachments (from the main unit).
Our Squadron Deployed to Japan and we sent a Detachment to a West Pac float. At the same time we sent a Det to Korea to take part in an exercise with a number of western pacific countries.
When we got home I got TAD orders to the Staff NCO Academy.
Without understanding the different terms and what they mean it makes it difficult to talk to people from other services.

At least the AF got smart, BEFORE they killed a bunch of people.

Re: Make the Military Weak Again !!!!
So this is "protecting the border"? Not in this dimension.

Re: Make the Military Weak Again !!!!
Sgt, actually I have been deployed hundred's of times. The only time I was ever sent TDY was for training purposes. I've been to 102 countries and only 10 were for pleasure, all the other's were on military orders.

Deploy… To move troops or equipment into military action.
Words mean things. Deploy means the same thing regardless of branch of service.
I have a very close friend, a brother, who once was AF, a loadmaster on C5A. I recall him using the word “mission” when he flew to various places around the world. Never heard him say the word deploy.

Re: Make the Military Weak Again !!!!
What, no responses? Ya know, RK, I don’t think these people are interested in a short, concise definition of the word “deploy”. That effectively eliminates their long winded jabber jaw bullshit! The poor washer women need something to squabble about.RoadKing wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 7:42 pmDeploy… To move troops or equipment into military action.
