Colby @outofregs.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Not to throw stones in glass houses, but it’s weird that they’re trying to get that dem house nominee on risqué pics from 15 yrs ago and not by questioning him on the rank of his much younger fiancé that is also in the NG that he admitted to meeting on deployment. Seems like an easy kill shot js. 110 1
Colby @outofregs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Remarkable that the piece just breezes past the question of medical necessity. For some reason, every time an example of a medical discrimination goes viral it’s clearly a misunderstanding. 99% of the time real medical discrimination is boring stuff like errors in data collection and interpretation. 050 5

Colby @outofregs.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Likewise, a lot of complaints on the enlisted side, like pay, NCO role expansion, being slotted above your pay grade, legal inequality, and ed expectations w/o ed opportunities, etc, can only be ignored because there will ALWAYS be people coming in behind you willing to take your slot. 100 1
Colby @outofregs.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Idk, I think it’s a separate issue that has more to do with our entire legal system kinda working off the base assumption that everyone is drafted rather than recruiting/retention success or failure.
