#Federal #watchdog agency in 1978 called for #abolishing #AdministrativeSeparations in lieu of #CourtMartial, arguing it should be used to remove service members unfit for #military - not to #dispose of cases w/alleged #CriminalOffenses .
The practice remains & increasingly being used for cases where #USAF personnel are #charged with #SeriousCrimes such as #SexualAssault , #DomesticViolence & #ChildAbuse ( #investigation by #ProPublica , #TexasTribune & #MilitaryTimes )

@TonyStark @Tengrain @inklings @JenX Yes about veterans. I've seen almost nothing. I read #MilitaryTimes and that's where I learned about Col Davis. I'm a military brat. My Dad was a USAF lifer (25 years). He died from Agent Orange-related heart failure. It's part of me and I'll post military-related stories. Not glorify weaponry, but the people who serve and vets.

As for boosting, growing—can't boost what you don't see. Still learning my way around, but there *seems to be a divide.
