Our patch wearer got back from weapons school in January, a few months later he went off to the wing to be an exec. Now the squadron lost their only patch. That's what is wrong with the Air Force.

Maybe you can steal from the Navy where the pilots have additional duties to include MX officer which fly all the OCF/FCF's after phase inspection and each pilot with their name on the side of a jet have to do EPR's and other personnel stuff for the MX troops working his jet such as signing off on a Art 15 for being a bone head and answering failed QA evals and DSV's. Maybe fight for a young enlisted kid who shows promise who is on the wrong side of the one mistake Air Force instead of waiting until they are GP/CC to deal with enlisted matters. Teenagers are fun to deal with and I know why MX and Tigers eat their young. This is more to the fighter side than the heavy side due to enlisted aircrew.

The DT's already own the development process. Give them the promotion process too. Promote in the silos to O6 and then hire based on job and quals.

Been saying this for years. An 11x, 14N, 17x, 37x, whatever are not equals, yet we pretend that they are.

I had my CC explain to me the reason I went off base #2 for school is because the wing commander would not allow a sitting SQ/CC go off base behind a non-CC. Obviously being an IP/FE currently downrange meant nothing. Needless to say, said SFS/CC had no chance of getting picked up and didn't. We laughed over a scotch when I got home. At the time I was securing my guard gig and wouldn't have stayed in for any flavor of school. I say again, separate our promotions from the 0730-1630 support guys with the time/flexibility to be CGOC pres and organize a Habitat build every month. We are not the same.

I could rattle off about ten without thinking too hard...

My brain just exploded.

Holy Hell those are like the MRE of dog food! Easy transport, storage, go anywhere nutrition and as an added bonus makes for a shiny coat and no P-38* required! *Young-in's, get an old guy to explain the P-38 reference.

No really, the product was below average (generally) once in the USAF system. Don't get me wrong, good dudes and all but we aren't the Navy.
