Leaveweb never updated my promotion to Major (actually I never bothered to fix it is the correct answer)....I've been approving leave for Major's as a Captain (according to Leaveweb) for over a year. Not a single one rejected. This just sounds like an airman with a chip on his shoulder. But like previously said...looks like you got a day off from your leadership without it actually counting against you. Could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeHoler Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 He said any officer can approve any other officer. You’re partially proving his case. Yes. If you read the LeaveWeb manual you will find out that enlisted leave approvals and officer leave approvals are programmed differently even though both groups are treated the same in AFI 36-3003.We used to find the lowest ranking officer (usually a 1Lt but sometimes we could find a casual 2Lt) and have them approve the old crusty Lt Cox’s leave for shits and giggles. We were a hoot let me tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Seriously. Are we really talking about who’s leave reg and leave web knowledge penis is larger? Who cares. Hit approve and if it doesn’t let you go under verbal and make mpf fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDDieselPilot Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm not surprised that there is a spike, but what does surprise me is that every single airframe's mishap rate increased... curious to see what this will be attributed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestik Møøse Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 They’ll conclude that it’s because of old planes so they can justify an increased budget. Then they’ll give it all to contractors large and small while continuing to refuse to pay you even what Congress has already authorized. I don’t even think they’re getting kickbacks or post-retirement consultant jobs. They’re just myopic bureaucrats set in their ways, which is even harder to budge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The 2nd and 3rd order effects of cancerous leadership philosophies and a lack of mission focus sometimes take time to manifest themselves...especially when many of the problems were being masked by commanders (and line bros) who are conditioned/socialized to never say "no" or "can't". I always giggle about the "fields of friendly strife" quote from MacArthur that the AF loves to use, and how the Air Force conveniently forgets its corollaries about what fruits are later borne by mediocrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyFlightSuit Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) I consider myself fairly irreverent but a small part of me got triggered by that. Perhaps I am missing an important piece of information regarding the video. *to clarify, my second sentence was meant more as sarcasm. I do not think there is any missing information that makes this okay.* Edited April 16, 2018 by DirtyFlightSuit Yup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
