You get full rate for that day as opposed to the $3.50. I was still claiming it on my last deployment in ‘16 whenever we landed at LTAG. Oh yeah the per diem resets. It doesn't really happen that much. I was out for 90 days last year and got a total of 0 resets on my per diem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Everyone got this volunteer solicitation email chain today; apparently we can't staff the DFACs but we can clean commercial airplanes?! Volunteer opportunity for anyone interested. Even though it's sponsored by the AUAB Top III organization, I've confirmed that ANY rank can participate. Please let me know if you're interested ASAP, since it's a limited number of personnel needed, and it's first come, first serve. ----------------- Good morning Team, A great opportunity has opened for us, I extend an invitation to join me and support this event. Per prior feedback 8 - 15 Wingmen would be sufficient thus facilitating the task and finishing in less time. This is a great event we have in order to take care of future activities in support of our Airmen. Again thank you and have a great day! ---------------- ALCON AUAB Top III has been tasked with an upcoming Oasis Cleaning and we will need volunteers to conduct the cleaning. Oasis cleaning show time inside PAX terminal is 25 March at 1550L (1520L Showtime) The Oasis Cleaning Program is a unique private organization that gives us the opportunity to participate in cleaning requests that support commercial passenger aircraft traveling through Al Udeid Air Base. More so, AUAB is well known for Air Mobility Operations and we consider our partnerships with visiting airlines invaluable. Disrespect towards Airline Representatives/AMCC or failure to meet cleaning requirements will not be tolerated. The mission is our #1 priority in the 8EAMS and it’s important that we practice excellence in all we do, exceeding high expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 From the bottom (first) email, to the top, it was an E-8, E-7, and E-9. Failure to meet cleaning standards will not be tolerated! Thanks volunteers!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seriously can't even make this shit up anymore. I'd say it's impossible to get any more out of touch than this statement, but the douchebags running the USAF these days would take it as a challenge. I weep for our service.

Do they brainwash them at Chief school or does it happen earlier in their career? Also, where do they find the spineless CCs that enable said SNCOs?

Then E-9's assume they're some sort of of pseudo Commander being an E-9. The currently CMSAF is a good dude and is trying to do actual positive changes, unlike the multiple E-9's in that job before them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Uh why the fuck are we sending airman to clean commercial aircraft? Isn't that what these companies are supposed to be doing to thier own aircraft? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRigButterss Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Give me more than three drinks or CMSgt buying privlages and i'll clean all the rotators they want. They'd probably get more than 15 bodies if that was the incentive. A man a dream, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they ain’t paying straight cash to folks who do it voluntarily. They wouldn’t have to beat the bushes for bodies if they were. I’m not even sure that’d be legal.
