Next time TIB is about to go drinking, someone let me know so I can buy stock in Zima first.

Don't worry, the boss is "actively monitoring" the situation from Martha's Vineyard. Our foreign policy right now is air tight.

To be fair, your buddy sounds like a douchebag.

Is your friend a Fucking Nav?

Speaking of crazy eyes..... The other guy..

Check your SURF under Assignment Limitations.

Fuck that guy.

Don't try to John Wayne it unless you like getting beat in the face. Actually don't do it period since you'll get everyone else in trouble. Take plenty of wet wipes.

After having finance lose some supporting documentation from my first and second submittal attempts after returning from a deployment, I returned with a paper hand receipt and I demanded the NCOIC sign as proof of receiving said documents...When he didn't want to sign, I asked for the OIC...nope...I then asked for the first ADO/FGO....he signed and the voucher was paid 2 days later...3 months after I had returned from the deployment.

Ummm I was told ISIS was just "JV". So confused... Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

After try 2, he should have probably just gone to finance. And, you know...be an officer. ETA I'll be perfectly honest. Officers need to stop playing the victim card so much. Step up to the plate and lead. If something isn't going how it is supposed to, be polite and work your way up the chain. You'd be surprised and how far common courtesy goes.

It's not even really that funny. I can understand the frustration though

I don't know anything about 135 Ops tempo but I just read the 2nd post in this thread and that was the funniest response on base Ops in a long time.

Many senior leaders value the wrong things. We overvalue entertainment, image, compliance and control. We undervalue combat, results, creativity and trust.

Tonight we honored a fallen soldier during a ramp ceremony at BAF. As his team unloaded the flag draped casket from the HMMWV and walked him up the C-17 ramp, five soldiers from the 10th Mountain Band played Amazing Grace and another somber and respectful song. Soldiers in the 10th Mountain Band carry weapons, can pull guard duty and are capable of killing the enemy. They also have unique musical skills and equipment to honor the dead and comfort the grieving in combat. Their primary purpose is combat and ceremonial duties while entertaining is a collateral duty. Our Air Force bands primarily entertain and should be cut to the level where they only support ceremonial events in the DC area. We can contract the entertainment if we decide we can afford entertainment for a fraction of the cost. Cutting our AF bands (not including TIB) by 75% would save $180M in personnel and O&M costs over the FYDP. Cutting AF bands and eliminating their AFSCs are easy decisions that should have been made years ago.
