HFF Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) I know this story is four months old, but I haven't seen it brought up anywhere on here. NBC published a story alleging rampant sexual assault, racism, and a host of other issues within the California ANG (singling out the 129th RQW). As a UPT applicant who's visited some of these units, I have a hard time believing this, since the culture at every unit I've visited thus far seems friendly and laid back. Is this just NBC being NBC or is there any truth to these allegations? http://www.nbcbayare...-179569401.html EDIT: Investigative piece "Behind the Gates of the Guard:" Edited April 10, 2013 by HFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackline Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I personally know most of the guys in the 129th, and I say BS. Great group of people, unless they have just somehow managed to hide it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Termy Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I call BS on this. If you want to be a "whistle blower" you need to man the F up and say who you are. It doesn't work both ways. Sounds to me like a guy who didn't get the AGR slot or promotion he was wanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HFF Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Apparently they're doing some kind of investigative piece on this. "Behind the Gates of the Guard". This whole thing seems fishy but as someone who's not a member of the CA ANG I can't really speak to the credibility of it. It focuses on racism and sexual assault within the 129th.

Sounds to me like a guy who didn't get the AGR slot or promotion he was wanting. The anonymous pilot does seem to have an axe to grind. I wonder if he spoke to his leadership first about the issue or went straight to the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The anonymous pilot does seem to have an axe to grind. They always do. I wonder if he spoke to his leadership first about the issue They never do. or went straight to the media. SNAP standard these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have a hard time believing this too because I just recently visited March ARB and I second what everyone above me said. All of the people we talked to were friendly, laid back, and just all around good hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmacwc Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Never heard of this within the ANG I have a hard time believing this too because I just recently visited March ARB and I second what everyone above me said. All of the people we talked to were friendly, laid back, and just all around good hosts. And you still have no idea what you are talking about.

Chump Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 How did any of them pass there PT test? They were probably getting kicked out for that, but went to the media cause they wanted there 20 year retirement that they "earned" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketch Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 And you still have no idea what you are talking about. Actually, I do. My post was short so what I should've said was "but one base visit and just scratching the surface doesn't mean a thing and of course stuff could be going on behind the scenes."

How the hell can he "not know what he's talking about" when he's citing a personal anecdote? All he said was that he's been there before and they seemed nice.
