Leadership at the 'Deid

[magnetfreezer]

...today's O-5 will try and slink by and not cause a scene, but 15 years ago, had I said something like "The Ginger" stated, I could very well expect that O-5 to get in my face and tell me "how about you mind your own business and do your fucking job, SPECIALIST".

As long as leadership backs you up and doesn't send an O-4 home for getting in the E's face about a sunglasses incident...

[capt4fans]

Aw come on. Two guys in a row? I hate being the grammar Nazi, but if she has no sole, buy her a new pair of shoes. If she has no soul, hammer a wooden stake (not a steak, those are at the DFAC) through her heart.

Edit: NSPlayer got there first. Must be a new sensation for him.

Really DFAC from a flyer? I refuse and still call it a "Chow Hall" Just to piss on the shoes and REMF a little bit more.

WTF...when I was an Army E-4, I wouldn't have dared challenge an FGO over something like sunglasses...but I guess that's the difference in the culture we promote today compared with 1994. I'll add that this culture change includes the attitudes of the officers...today's O-5 will try and slink by and not cause a scene, but 15 years ago, had I said something like "The Ginger" stated, I could very well expect that O-5 to get in my face and tell me "how about you mind your own business and do your fucking job, SPECIALIST".

It's not the difference between '94 and now, it's the difference between the Air Force and the Army.

It's not the difference between '94 and now, it's the difference between the Air Force and the other three branches of the US military.

Fixed that for ya...

To add to the suckage, they make c17 crews stay 4 to a room in the trailers. It makes alert time ridiculous and makes you choose your crewmembers wisely.

I'm looking forward to doing this if I ever pass through this young lady's empire (sts).

[pawnman]

I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Translation to herbivore brevity terminology;

No Slugs = Howdy

No Slugs = Howdy = Doorknob

So no "special alone time" when Midnight Hot comes on, eh?

You have to stay up after MH, for the calender shoots they air before "Breakfast."

Somewhere I have my 1000 Hour FTV patch.

F Hot is better anyways.

Is that just transient or all crews?

Transient as far as i know, but when I was deployed there we each got our own.

[189Herk]

We called her "big red"...She once told my crew it would be an hour wait for customs because the Qatari's were having a tea party (no joke) She refused to call them for us...a phone call to our DO changed her tune. I would wear my shades on my head specifically for her.

Do they still have the Jabba the Hut Qatari chicks working the metal detector?

May desert penguin "tanker article".

BTW I'm flying to MALAK every time I hear a 130 in the pattern from now on.

Come on man, it's funny cause it's true!

Pink belts, check.

Gay staches, check.

Malak, check.

30 mile ils finals in VMC, check.

That's weird. Sounds like you got screwed. We just got back from there and it was only two to a room. I saw a sign posted on a door saying they were moving all of them to two to a room.

I saw her...ewww. She was so excited in telling us how she collects squadron patches and scans them for her gay little poster board at her desk. She's definitely a few french fries short of a happy meal.

Is she really a few french fries short, or has she had too many orders of the Double Whopper with cheese AND french fries at Burger King?

Both. Not only has she had her fair share of cheeseburgers and super-sized fries, but she definitely seemed to have a few screws loose.

I'd like to thank those of you on the day shift at the CAOC that for some reason can't figure out how to not lockdown the facility. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for the extra training. Thanks.

If it applied to you, you'd understand. Go back to operating the gear Co and don't worry.

Sounds like someone was using one of the back doors for a smoke break, or someone opened a SCIF without punching their code in correctly. That happened a few times while I was out there.

It's gone on more than a few times. The brief that everyone gets about how to get in and out wasn't enough. We had to all get mandatory retraining, which amounted to a signature on a worthless piece of paper. That and the full size sheets of how to get in and out posted at every door now. Once again, a few people crap their pants, and the rest of us suffer.

Why don't we actually make the people who screw things up worse off instead of the rest of us? What every happened to holding a person accountable?

That only applies to tucked in shirts and reflective belts...when junior grade personnel are told to scream, "TEACHER, TEACHER, HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS BELT ON!!!"
