Stevens Point Air Show Crash
Why does everyone always hear "the engine run rough"? Sorry to hear about the crash...

What's wrong with the Air Force?
I guess this means I'll make general after all. Hating everyone equally is the way to go.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Every good article has to have some kind of long drawn out simile. My favorite was from a chief that told me to wear my uniform properly because his childhood neighbor mowed his lawn and painted his mailbox.

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
Yep, he was about half way through the program. He flew first go and was scheduled to fly second go, but they pulled him from the flight.

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
I'm sure AFPC will be playing hopscotch and double dutch outside their building today instead of fixing this. After all, it's going to be in the mid to high 70's all morning. I'd hate to miss this opportunity.

I think they TOTALLY get it (Suicides)
Not surprisingly though, that article is extremely similar to a paper I had to write for TUIU. But seriously, I read that article thinking there was going to be something helpful after the "balls have a tough life" attention step. Nope. Who knows though? Maybe there is some suicidal sports fanatic out there that just changed his mind because he can now relate to a Bocce Ball.

Return of Friday shirts / patches
Here's a sneak peek for you ladies at what I'll be doing if I get RIF'd... writing ChickLit. It's probably just as important to the defense of the nation as the monkey dance I do on a daily basis right now anyway.

I don't know how these broadband internet providers are allowed to get such a monopoly. Below: Map of Americans with access to only on broadband ISP. I would like to see if North Dakota's service is better than the national average.- Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
San Antonio? Damn, I hope I didn't miss the show.- SRO (Senior Ranking Officer) at UPT
Guess what, the "10% of people are morons" rule applies everywhere.- FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
In my experience, about 3 days after the 7th time you've called to complain.- Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
I'm not exactly sure what a protocol officer does, but I assume he determines things like if eggs should be cracked on the big end or little end.- Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
The Air Force can have as many extra-curricular bands as it wants. As long as these band members only contribute after a minimum of 40 hours of work per week. Also, they must be member funded.- SRO (Senior Ranking Officer) at UPT
The best SROs I've seen were harder on the other studs than the IPs were. The worst SRO I've seen let people have shitty attitudes without 'adjusting' them in the study room. Remind them the government is paying them (very well) to do something really cool. Half assing it is not only wasteful, it's insulting to a tax payer. Dropbox, Google Docs sometimes don't work on a gov computer. I'd suggest making a gmail account for the class and emailing everything worthwhile there. You can open that anywhere, including .mil computers. Plus, you can directly email it to yourself or add anything, anywhere without any specific software.- Humanitarian Assignments
I was told I wasn't going to Base X because it didn't have services for my daughter. The day I started my drive to my TDY enroute, AFPC told me that they changed their minds. They strung me along for a good 3 weeks.- Mexican Military incursion(s) into the United States

That's no different than closing every gate into a base for 4 hours for an exercise. I get it, you need to show that you can stop traffic in and out of the base and secure it. Why can't they just roll the gates shut for 69 seconds, re-open them and slap a piece of paper with "SIM CLOSED" on it? We simulate everything else for God's sake and the guards were just standing there looking at the cars. This happened at Laughlin with my wife and 1 month old daughter stuck 3 cars from the front of the line. - Internet slow lane
