F1 Thread
I've been getting into F1 after that great series on Netflix. The youtube channel has great highlights. FYI - If you do want to torrent the files, use a VPN.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
I had to sit through a leadership meeting with a former commander to get after some of the DEOCS comments. One of them was that he never made a decision...which he refuted by saying he was never given enough information, or the staff work wasn't good enough to make a decision. In an ops squadron. He then didn't brief the officers on results, he had a MSgt do it. The DECOS is a great tool, and I wish more people would use it for the truth on both extremes. The output is just like the linked above. Also...that's a whole lot of comments. Wow.

Airlift stops
This was my former commander...thank the Lord he's gone. So much headache over perfectly legal rooms.

"Hey, you guys didn't break the rules...but you broke the unwritten rules." AKA - Go airline.

Children of US troops born overseas will no longer get automatic American citizenship
Same. I went and found it and it didn't read anything like the clarity provided here.

What was wrong with the old policy?

But he loves service members, see how he cancelled all those vet's student loans?!?! This should make getting a clearance update done so much easier. Already was a pain in the ass w/ a kiddo born WHERE THE GOVERNMENT TOLD ME TO LIVE.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
From a friends FB post - "I just want to fly airplanes. Why do they make that so fucking hard?" Long story short, my buddy flys Hercs. Was selected to be a T-38 IP at Sheppard. He went through ENJJPT during the "drones are as good as fighters" days. Didn't do as well as he'd liked, but got to fly. He's one of the best men I know. Enrolled kids in new school, wife got a new job she'd always wanted, put down money on a house they were going to close on this week. Then of course the USAF made a brilliant decision to NOT have him PCS 6 days before he was to close on that house. I'll let him say why - "So how do I explain what happened without violating Article 89 of the UCMJ? Last week, a… person… made a blanket decision to reject and/or revoke all waivers for T-38 pilots going to PIT. I required a waiver to become a T-38 instructor pilot. This was not because I didn’t have enough flight hours or an excessive number of Q-2 or Q-3s, but because following pilot training I hadn’t flown a fighter or a bomber. I flew the Herc, and that meant that I wasn’t as qualified to fly the T-38 as, say, a brand new fucking FAIP with 1/20th the flight hours and a decade less experience. But it's not just me, it's everyone. Blanket rejection and revocation of all waivers. None of it makes fucking sense to me." Pilot crisis is solved folks. Guess the airlines are done hiring.

Promotion and PRF Information
Fact. My friend - a boarded cyberspace operations sq DO. He led the unit through some of the missions I've posted in the Cyber thread. You know, the ones in the new york times, and CYBERCOM is briefing Congress about....MSM didn't make it into his records (shitty CC didn't bother to make sure it happened)...passed over. Thankfully he's hitting the supplemental...but really?

Squadron Call sign Change
Oh hey, fuck that guy. His wiki has been updated since the last time I checked. Looks like he carried on his same antics in the corporate world after failing out of education - "He has also served as a director of now defunct Massey Energy, a major coal company which closed after flagrant safety violations during his tenure."
- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Welcome to the new world we're in. Fun, isn't it? EDIT - That article is fucking garbage. MSNBC-like in the information, editorializing it provides.- It's Official, OCPs are Coming!
Fact. People getting worried if they got the right thread color in patches. Fuck it, no one knows for at least 2 years what's right or not. Have fun.- Latest Movies
Formula 1 - Drive to Survive on Netflix was pretty great!- Promotion and PRF Information
Funny. In cyber it was different. Moved on to training (UCT, Academy, SOS, etc.) you're "outside the community" and it was a black mark. That history has come back to haunt us, that now no one wants to go to our school houses and instruct. We've got the new program coming out for "priority placement" or whatever where you can opt in/out on MyVector. Across the whole 67 CW...4 officers have opted in. 1 Lt Col, 1 Capt, 2 Lt's. I opted out immediately. I don't care what "notes" the CSAF sends the promotion boards, the shoes running them don't care, and I know too many O6's who just do it their way anyway.- Promotion and PRF Information
No doubt. That's not what they claim (they want full amount) and the Maj/Capt/Civ's are doing it and expect the SrA/SSgt's to float the remainder for 30+ day TDY's as well. Enough derail, back to not doing ACSC! - What's wrong with the Air Force?
