  1. Regardless, if he didn't make the list it makes him one of the first ones to be passed over (according to him). He announced to our class that only one guy didn't make it to O-7 and it was because he retired... This would totally make my day if confirmed.
  2. Oh no such luck. He makes it very clear in lecture 1 that he is a future General Officer and everyone else who has been the SOS commando got stars (plural). His humility is admirable.
  3. The guy's clueless. If he was reading this thread he would probably think we were talking about someone else... And that my friend is the real problem.
  4. The best is when HE personally talks about toxic leadership. Apparently the FLT/CCs all take over/unders on how many times he uses the wing/sq/cc line per class.
  5. Well as a graduated squadron, and wing commander...
  6. So what does ol "CZ" get pissed at these days since morale patches are allowed?
  7. That's great advice above. Also realize that 90% of the time what the Air Force does, doesn't make any sense at all.
  8. I was extremely embarrassed when we did our trade with the Maneuver Captains Career Course and got an Army Infantry Captain. SOS in its infinite wisdom had us making towers out of spaghetti noodles and marshmallows. "Is this what you guys do all the time here?" "Nah dude, last week we played with puzzles and watched a Hollywood movie."
  9. I read: "We just wanted to push the button to see what would happen. We didn't actually have a plan or anything."
  10. How did you all get notified of this? I haven't seen anything at my base.
  11. There are no safe places anymore to vent about The Blue....
  12. Being an undereducated simple minded guy from the south I can never quite put into words all the things that frustrate me with the Air Force, but he seems to always get it right. Bravo!
  13. Pissed me off too. How about they re-confirm their values. Most of us never lost it!
  14. I had heard that AFPC isn't allowing UPT SQ/CCs to give fighters back, even when the people getting fighters are likely to kill themselves or others. How the pendulum has swung from 4-5 years ago!
  15. Or maybe since he was such an ego maniac and "loved" by everyone he couldn't make a big deal about it because then the rest of the world would see how much he truly was hated. I don't know, but just a thought. Who knows what goes on in these psychopaths minds?

    Not directing this at anyone in particular, as I am guilty of this as well, but Gen Welsh has actually made moves to increase morale in spite of the Air Force's dismal outlook (budgets/force shaping, etc.) Yeah things aren't perfect and we got a long way to go, but thank God Skeletor II is done destroying our Air Force and we got someone who seems to genuinely care.
  17. Soon it will be FT by correspondence, before you go in residence.
  18. I actually thought the 8 week program was pretty easy. However I heard from several friends years later that the compressed course that they implemented is more difficult.
  19. Judge much? You have no idea how bitter I am at the Air Force, and I haven't been screwed nearly as much or as often as most guys on here. Glad your life is going great though. Keep up the faith! I seem to remember it being announced like 3 years ago. I could be totally wrong.
  20. Didn't they get Selected as one of the first ANG F-35 units? Any chance you would take a T-38 guy who is "Fighter Qualified" from ENJJPT, finished top 1/3 but got relegated to heavies back in FY '10?
  21. Sorry to hijack but what are the financial implications for walking into a Technician job from Active Duty (UPT base/IP)? Is that a good deal as an IP? What kind of compensation should someone expect compared to the AD teet I've been sucking on for the past 6 years?
  22. Is there any reserve component there? Looking at options with this VSP!!!!
  23. Joe, that is perhaps the most intelligent post you have ever shared with this community.
