di1630 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'll take anyone who actually can fathom that America is not still in a Cold War, Migs are not our biggest threat, the PT uniform/service dress are ok, we aren't going to war with China next year but will probably still be fighting ISIS and has a basic grip on current reality. I'll take any change at this point. Sadly I'd rather have an ABM than a lot of these pilots who are stuck 30 years in the past. Sorry Welsh, I had high hopes. But you were an above avg turd as far as execution. Maybe if you can't unfuck the USAF, nobody can...but I'm willing to give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineapigfury Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I had a lot of hope for Schwartz along the same lines. I think most of the Air Force's problems lie in between the Squadrons and the CSAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeloDude Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 As Welsh Enters Last Year, Replacement Race BeginsGood God, anyone but McDew.From the article...Robinson is also reportedly a favorite of Deborah Lee James, who as secretary of the Air Force has worked extensively to expand the profile of women in the service.McDew, notably, would be the first African-American chief for the service. Given the climate of things, my bet is it will be one of these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 From the article... Given the climate of things, my bet is it will be one of these two. This same dynamic is what gave us Obama over Hillary as the democratic nominee in 2008. Curious to see how that shakes out this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motofalcon Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 You guys see this? Welsh is getting the 2015 Great American Patriot Award. Previous awardees include Gen Schwartz...but also a Marine general and a MoH recipient. I have never heard of this award so I have no idea if it is something big or another award for participating. Not to take away from his 30+ years of service, but it seems a bit ridiculous, given all the bad/sub-stellar press lately (we are short people across the board right after massive cuts, "you are always on parade, even your private phone conversations", the F-35 debacle, et al) but maybe my view is a bit skewed from reading JQP. Or maybe this is like that order of the sword or whatever the Chiefs give the CSAF - they did it once, so now they do it every time? http://www.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/637365/welsh-named-2015-great-american-patriot-award-recipient.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bode Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 From the article..."However, Carlisle would be 59 by the time Welsh retires, older than normal to take on a chief of staff job. He also does not represent diversity, an issue sources agree is being weighed by both James and the administration." This seems like blatant discrimination to me.

It's sick that we are choosing people because of the color of their skin or gender, I think MLK said the opposite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11F Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Gen Carlisle will be the next CSAF, and Gen Robinson will be the next NORTHCOM Commander. Carlisle will take the reins at the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeetango Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 McDew has done enough damage in AMC (reference the alpha flight structure idea as evidence). Time for him to retire. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he's been doing that since he was an O-6. Edited December 24, 2015 by Azimuth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurelySerious Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Being in the guard maybe this is foreign but what is the seven teeth thing? Zipper teeth. As in, he enjoys only seeing few of them unzipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
