#3 Military.com has some additional info.
When gleaned for additional info. It points to some mental & trauma related issues. Note the USAF given response and the careful wording, and slow pace of the investigation.

In a way the slow pace of the 17 Death investigations points to a possible unifying cause of death. Otherwise, the USAF could have released causes data for the cases NOT related to each other.

So it does bring up some deeper laying issues.

EG.
"Tinker Air Force Base," Col. Abby Ruscetta, the Tinker installation commander, said in an emailed statement. "Our focus moving forward is to let everyone know we value them, and we stand together as a team."

Woodruff initially told Military.comon Tuesday that Air Force policy prohibits the installation from disclosing the number and causes of deaths, including suspected suicides still under investigation.

"I'm sorry, but we are not going to release the number of deaths at Tinker," Woodruff told Military.com in an email. "We have ongoing investigations and to protect the families and the units, we won't comment on those numbers. It is Air Force policy that we do not disclose information about deaths or their circumstances."

Military.com has reached out to possible Whistle Blowers.
Posting it has created a ProtonMail anonymous email account for those willing to send encrypted emails concerning the deaths.

The ProtonMail account vs. using a Military.com email address, could suggest possible _ _ _ snooping and _ _ _ tracking concerns. Which would in itself raise deeper questions.

I'd bet on a either a USAF distraction, or a creative emotional follow-up explanation in the near future.

#5 Col. Abby Ruscetta,

Does anyone else have a brain hiccup when seeing female senior officers in charge of things?

Or is it just my old fartness that makes it sound weird?

#7 Why do I get Abby is scrambling to avoid the kind of press coverage that would find lax drug enforcement and end her expectations of a General Officer slot in the estrogen-oozing, transformation-ally woke USAF emerging leadership?
