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.

Formula 1 - Drive to Survive on Netflix was pretty great!

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.

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!

That's comm (MSG)...not cyber (OG). Hence the 2 AFSC's like I was saying for future promotions. I'll have to update the Cyber Thread with the latest Open Source stuff that's gone on. The part about soft-power is spot on. Now I'm busy trying to deal with nerds that think "operators" (ex. pilots) don't have to manage their GTC's correctly, that OSD & COCOM/CC visits are just "ADCON getting in the way of Ops" and other such bullshit. "No, motherfucker...you can't stay at the Marriott if there's lodging available on base."

Because there's so few pilots compared to the other categories? Just thinking, not saying it's right. Be interesting to see what happens to cyber. Finally got CSAF/SECAF to agree your comm sq officer and your cyber effects officer aren't actually the same AFSC and should be split. I can hear the gnashing of teeth from AFPC...

Looks like some more year groups (at least for Cyber) got vectoring again. The whole top/mid/bot-third w/ three pushes. CC walked in with mine today...this shit is so black magic I don't even care anymore.

They become a Special Assistant to the Commander!

We got word it was invitation only.

Hit 20 in Feb, ADSC up in Nov, and TAP was done last week. Informed I didn't get a push for school (first look). What a fantastic feeling, good luck the rest of y'all.

For not non-flyer, because the perspective is difficult, I'm assuming it's a cargo aircraft and the load shifted all back?

Yep, all these media companies think the breaking off Netflix/Hulu/Amazon into separate $10 a month services is going to get people to subscribe and not pirate. Bold move...

Multi-ethnic operations?

Sounds about right for the ole' USAF. "Please do all this extra work so my job is easier."

We don't have the death problems in cyber, but this is exactly what it's like in our space now. Hopefully we can replicate your success as fast, if not faster. I'm going to steal your words for when I have to brief another GO about why there's no cyber "easy button."

Captain Marvel was pretty good. Wasn't man hating and well done female empowerment. Plus, lots of "vintage" AF stuff all over it.

Cyber is all in now. Which means you can roll of a ops unit, taking the fight to the enemy and doing cool things. And roll into command a communications cyber squadron at Tinker fixing email and cell phones. https://tenor.com/NsbZ.gif

Yea, fuck those guys.

Sold my bike when moving to San Antonio because the drivers here are garbage. Always wanted a SV.

More academic bullshit from someone with too much time on their hands, cashing a government grant, pushing the everyone's special narrative and helping absolutely no one in the real world. The fucking stalls don't fit my (imaginary) dragon-kin wings.

For real? That went through Congress...remember we have to pass the bill before we can read the bill?

Had a buddy who once called me because he was a poor missile maintenance officer at Minot arriving shortly after failure #2. His boss was up in arms about something great the Lt did, and wanted a story to sell to leadership. CC was known for taking off he's lower ranking officer's names in emails and drafted MFR's to make it all about himself. Told my bud to write out the MFR, print it, sign, scan and email it. Then claim ignorance of doing a digital signature, or of saving the file to disk.

The Air Force doesn't define who you are. Great day when I realized that.

TIme for my boy to start shaving so I'm getting him one of these - https://www.amazon.com/MERKUR-Classic-MK-33C-3-Piece-Double/dp/B002A8JO48?th=1 And a pack of these to pick a double edge razor he likes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038KA5RC Taking time to learn how to wet shave, and the ritual involved, seems like a forgotten thing. I know I've let it slip and am currently using a Schick 5-blade cartridge. But when I was divorced and out of money, it came in handy paying 10 cents a week to shave.
