  3. How much longer until the All Call with the boss punishing everyone for the crimes of others, I see group discussions, reflection days and new case study videos and CBTs right around the corner.

  4. Is the new hotness spending really the root cause, or is the root cause that we get involved in every fucking square inch of this world, overcommit ourselves continuously, and continue to execute losing strategy while blowing billions in the process? I won't blame the new hotness until we stop fucking around and decide to win when we commit forces. For the record, I'm all for killing assholes elsewhere so we don't have to do it here, but the dumbassery that abounds around the world in the DOD is a far bigger problem than future capability spending.

  5. Reading AFI 36-2005 might help, since it is the ref that prescribes the form. Also, the official AF Form 24 can be found at https://www.e-publishing.af.mil/?txtSearchWord=Af24&btnG.x=14&btnG.y=11&client=AFPW_EPubs&proxystylesheet=AFPW_EPubs&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&output=xml_no_dtd&site=AFPW_EPubs Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

  7. The RAG and VTs are different in terms of follow-on orders in the Navy/USMC. Lower performers, i.e., dudes who leave their first fleet tour without their four-ship flight lead qualification can't teach at the RAG, they can only teach at the VTs in T-6s and T-45s which is why they end up there. Now I don't know personally, but I'd imagine the Air Force isn't sending it's below average dudes to teach brand new F-15/16/22/35 pilots, those guys are probably teaching in T-6s.

  8. Ron Fogleman. Among other leadership considerations, the ability to organize, train, and equip the forces to carry out national strategy is dependent upon resources provided. Sure, there are finite resources. It is the responsibility, and more importantly, the duty of the CSAF to advocate for those resources necessary to conduct the missions given. If the necessary resources aren't provided, the CSAF has a responsibility, and more importantly, the duty to notify his civilian leaders of the consequences of the lack of those resources. Then, the missions are either reduced to meet the resources or the resources are increased to meet the demanded missions. Failing that, the CSAF has the responsibility, and more importantly, the duty to respectfully refuse to carry out those mission knowing that the risk to the personnel under his care is thereby increased with no benefit to the nation. Having refused, in our generally grand tradition of military subordination to civilian control, the result is resignation or firing. That tends to crimp post-uniformed service board memberships and the like...

  9. Back to the topic at hand... I spent over 1/3 of my career in the Weapon School and from the instant I walked through the door at Nellis one thing was blatantly obvious, Albino Drivers are complete and utter assholes (including my old man who was one, but of course excluding BeerMan), that being said they are "our assholes" and I do not want cross the fence without those inglorious bastards.

  12. Mr. Cameltactics, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

  13. Today, there's some cadet, sitting in his academy dorm room decorated to look like his mothers basement who's only wish is to be a space geek. With his thick glasses perched on his pale nose, he is going to hammer out a letter on his Doritos stained keyboard to Captain Sandecker telling him that, as a cadet, he is ready to sit in and be a satellite jockey. He was a member of the rocket club, has his HAM radio license, and is well versed in all things Dungeons and Dragons. Captain Sandecker, reflecting on the reply from one each Mr. Toro, will answer this young, ambitious basement dweller that the Satellite Operations facility is no place for an amateur, radio operator or otherwise, hazards like hot coffee or tipping over vending machines abound. Discussions of Kirk vs Picard would probably not be understood by just a cadet. Staring at computer screens is for professionals so stop calling, texting, #leaveusthefuckalone. So, the dreams of a lowly cadet get crushed because of a prior Toro Fox 2 to the face (nice shot!) of an earlier wannabe.

  14. Sounds to me like those snowflakes at fox news needs to retreat to their safe spaces so big mean people like Colin Kaepernick can't hurt their precious feelings.
