It's telling when Congress is the entity applying common sense in any situation. Complete fucking bullshit.

Wow, another riveting herbivore thread about who puts the gear down better.

So when it lands on a 3,000' runway. Where do they find the other 4,600' so that it can take off?

I really liked the OEF multicam uniforms, but they wear out quickly. On the flight suit note - I have a few new flight suits but I hate wearing them because they are not broken in at all. Anyone have any tips for breaking them in so they're not so hot / uncomfortable? My inputs for the next-gen ABUs: Less-breathable, stiffer fabric and a pocket for my AFMAN 10-100!

Regardless if it was intentional or not.

Well I believe we are beginning to understand why the democrats suck with money... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLbzEvzOBbU

Whole person concept not in play....shame! Cheers, Cap-10

I'm done bitching. Bottom line, the promotion system sucks because it lacks integrity.

At my last squadron, we had a Capt passed over to Major. He was an UPT DG SOS Top Third Grad OIF and OEF Deployments MWS IP in the FTU Capt filling the Major's Wing Flight Safety Officer billet He had a Bac+ (he was NSTFS one class away from being masters complete) No ART 15, no paperwork, no DUI. He was passed over. Decide for yourself what Big Blue thinks is important. Cheers, Cap-10 Edit: I type goodly.

Another fantastic example of why the system is broken is the ribbon chart. Anyone familiar with these atrocities knows what I'm talking about. At my base, they are required for mid-level Captains and above and include basically a stoplight chart for: AAD, DE (corr), DE (res, DG), Flt/CC, Exec (level), Special programs (High Flight, PHOENIX, etc), MWS IP/EP, Staff, Etc, plus your last 3 OPR push lines. I've literally seen instances where the ribbon chart was the sole thing the CC used to push people for special programs, etc. While I understand that your record is what gets promoted, things like this take the lead out of leadership and only serve those higher-ups who don't know their people.

How could you not recognize this?!?

You mean you'd work like every other career field.

The problem isn't in identifying who falls above/below your "red line." The problem is in the criteria that defines the line.

It's probably due to you being an engineering student, but do you know what intimate means? These questions seem more "general" than "intimate." Intimate would describe the level of knowledge of BODN members WRT BQZips mom.

Too late for this kid. They gave me a bullshit assignment so I seven day opted. I officially don't give a shit about the bonus. Feels good!

Those were the days...
