Loyalty to our Constitution, not a politician, god or person. Not an official Air Force acct. I’m a fed worker, vet & mil spouse here to communicate, share information and more importantly, offer support. I’ve BTDT but am not an expert on much 😅

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

If you see any post online saying that the #IRS is sending you inflation/stimulus payments, that is absolutely untrue.

We are shutdown. There will be no checks coming from the IRS.

It’s to train on the F-15. Qatar is paying for it, not the US taxpayer (probably anyway). Singapore is already there and has been for many years. Not saying I think it’s a great idea, but the US’s strategy is to leverage weapons system
interoperability across platforms and partners. Plus, this AFB

I wondered the same thing after the first boat was kaboomed. I have heard that operators have been asking questions, which is good.

Whether named George III, Trump, or Roberts, the American people must make crystal clear we don't abide kings. Join the Oct 18 No Kings Day event to make your choice known!

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

JFC. DEFUND ICE!! I appreciate the Dems effort to protect Medicaid and ACA subsidies but they need to add putting a stop to this shit on the list. Fucking ICE thugs are like cockroaches in our streets. Squash them!

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

AltAirForce @altairforce.altgov.info · 7d

It’s supposedly an unintentional error but I have my doubts.

AltAirForce @altairforce.altgov.info · 7d

It likely affects every DoD agency because it was a DFAS “error”.

AltAirForce @altairforce.altgov.info · 7d

Exempt employees aren’t paid by annual appropriations, so any agency telling exempt employees that they won’t be paid are wrong. Excepted employees are different, as are those who are furloughed. Those categories of employees are not being paid.

AltAirForce @altairforce.altgov.info · 7d

Yes, and furloughed employees did not expect to be paid for Oct 1-3, or for the duration of the shutdown (but do expect to be back paid). This is an issue affecting a different category of employees though. And yes, “good ‘ole DFAS”…fucking shit up since 1991!

AltAirForce @altairforce.altgov.info · 7d

The “error” is supposedly being worked. In the meantime, how many people won’t be able to pay their bills? DFAS isn’t exactly known for correcting errors in a timely fashion. I’ve actually never seen them issue an out of cycle paycheck, so soonest this will probably be fixed is in 2 weeks.

To be clear, “exempt” employees are working and are entitled to be paid, and they sure as hell should have accrued leave for the entire pay period too.

I am not sure I believe that this was an accidental error. But maybe. The Air Force sure is acting like this is the first govt shutdown rodeo 🙄

AltAirForce @altairforce.altgov.info · 7d

Don’t quote me on the numbers but it looks DFAS (Defense Finance Accounting Service) fucked up the pay and leave of somewhere around ~180K Air Force employees. If you are an “exempt” employee, you probably didn’t get paid for Oct 1-3, nor did you accrue any leave for the entire pay period.
