Which brings me to another “wrong with the AF” point… we’ve got this ingrained cultural problem where a certain sect of SNCOs feel empowered to and expect that they can just run over captains, majors, and even lieutenant colonels. I call it “excessive professional deference”. Sure, you’ve been in longer and I respect your technical competence, but the last time I checked, an O-3 or O-4 still outranks an E-7, 8, or 9. Don’t like it? Tough shit, MSgt…go to OTS and get a commission.

Only once on AD (as a Capt) did I have to do a closed door correction on a SNCO. Never had any negative reactions from it. As SocialD said, don’t be an asshole, but as an officer, grow a fucking pair and act like it (and don’t be wrong when you have to do it).

I blame the CC's, but I also blame officers who allow these types of acts to go unchecked. You're an officer, don't be afraid to act like it. Just don't be a dick and be right. On the spot correction are powerful and can quickly straighten up any culture of lax good order/discipline. In 22 years of enlisted and officer service, outside of some punishment I had to hand out as a CC, I can only remember two situation that rose to the level of "get in this office and shut the door," type corrections. Both situations were as a Captain and Major, and I never heard a thing about them again, and more importantly, they worked.

Blame the commanders that enable this behavior.

Shut it down...everytime there has been a shutdown they blame the GOP and everytime the GOP does better in the mid-terms. And before you through all the GOP and Trump Tripe out there...where is the current freaking President? Isn't he supposed to lead?

Remember, they’re enlisted and you’re an officer. every time they speak to you, task them with some trivial bullshit. Bring me the results of the last dorm inspection? How many CE Tickets are still open on the ops building? How about the dorms? I think the track is a few meters short, go measure it. Get me the names of every crew chief that grew up in Texas. The more tedious and vaguely personnel related the better. they’ll leave you the fuck alone when they realize every interaction comes with homework.

I’ve been a USAA member since 2001. Back then they were great with customer service, no issues. That’s how Navy Fed is now. I have two auto loans through them and they routinely beat USAA in APR. Their app (iOS, dunno about Android’s) is vastly better than USAA’s.

Aren’t you a Guard/Reserve Baby? If so, vastly different than being active duty.

Navy Federal 100%

This action is a response to practices deemed unsafe or unsound by the OCC, particularly in areas of management, earnings, and information technology. Practices “unsafe and unsound” was the justification OCC and FDIC closed Washington Mutual 2008

It’s on the dems AND the willing GOP participants of the establishment (McConnell, Crenshaw, etc.) The people are sick of all the bullshit pork the aforementioned group shoves in bills - so yeah it is their fault. I will also be happy to see the gov shutdown. We’re fiscally out of control more than anytime in history - it has to stop.

He’s not a conservative, so doubt he cares about it. He has a lot of big business whisper in his ear right now, so whatever they want is what sounds good to him this week. Higher debt ceiling, maybe the highest debt ceiling. People are talking about it. They say it.

I'm offended Hades staff isn't shooting out giant streams of molten fire.

Don't do it. Get your name out in other ways. If you're enlisted in the unit, I don't know a single guy that would be ok taking a bottle from you. We hire within our unit every year and we've never taken any gifts from non-fighter pilots rushing the unit. Just do your job incredibly well. Have the HMCS and NVGs ready to go. Keep the gloves and piddle packs stocked and ask how the sortie was when they drop gear off. That's a great way to open the door and learn what they do after they step out the door.

Finally arrived, can't wait to shoot it.
