Damnit...I just thought it was an idiot Lt.

What? No, you scared of someone else having fun at work? We're trying to do a heritage bar as well...also not fliers. Do you have a problem with our bar? I don't know where you sit inside this Sq the chief's in...assistant to the Flt CC or something else...but if you think he's that bad, man up and say it. I'm sure it can only come to good results and he'll thank you kindly for the heads up.

In addition to this when manning is tight, and/or people can't sit ops (ex. pregnancy, discipline, etc.) the people who can get double duty. Also, getting snowed in is a thing. Finally, manning did get so bad I know a few peeps who got orders for back-to-back ops and just separated. Plus they had testing, and stan/eval exercises as well on top of sitting ops. So you could do 1-4 exercises a watch, then get called in to do a quarterly checkride or test. Which may, or may not, match up with your sleeping pattern. If you deviated at all from 100%, even for an "exercise" it was reflected poorly. Why the shit hit the fan on those bases for about a decade straight.

Ah, yea. I still have to see that one. As much as I love Tarantino I just never see his films in the actual theater. I enjoyed the way 1917 was shot as the unique things the director did for that movie.

Really? What did you like more that fits the bill better?

How fucking stupid is the Air Force that this is something that was dealt with in the missile fields and they can't figure it out?

This was a good talk to come out of the CCC conference (hacker conference) on this topic. I've been following it for awhile since the software side is in my lane.

Maybe I'm just jaded on here and from my experience on the non-flyer side.

That's awesome -- no sarcasm. I'm not a fan of the instant victim. However, was the it the OG/CC? If so...same rules would have applied w/ no repercussions to you?

How the fuck would this work "in the good ole' days." "Yes SP, I punched the Full Bird in the face because my wife said he touched her ass. Yes, I'll take the blue jumpsuit. Thank you." Holy fuck, like the Sq/CC would have any power back in the day? I didn't live through it, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn and have read a ton of USAF history which seems like punching the dude would not have any good come from it for the man.

Do we know that this didn't happen? Not that a Sq/CC asking for an apology for his wife is "at their level." But it's as close as it's going to get.

Tracking - sacrifice more now, so you can sacrifice even more later...all of it of questionable value. How's pilot and cyber retention going? Looks like Chang is back.

You're not allowed to say that anymore. Report for re-conditioning.

I clicked the retirement button this morning...

I hit 20 this past Feb, and ADSC expired in Nov. It's amazing how much parking becomes available once you don't care anymore. "Why yes...I am attending this conference. No, you can't see my pass."

It is. The prequels were better than TLJ.

You guys know this isn't a new thing right? This has been a requirement for almost 15 years. The sectioning off of a singe office for a "mother's room" might be new. But the fact it had to be a sanitary place (i.e. not a bathroom) has been directed since I was an Airmen. Even back then people were bitching about why the just couldn't do it in a stall... I'd imagine the direction for buildings on base designating a room is based on number of people and number of women. Kinda like handicapped parking spots. Now if that's a dedicated room for only that...I can't speak to it.

I keep thinking about this. But when this shit tanks again...who's going to pay that rent? My brother was almost 30 living in a house w/4 other dudes after the Great Recession. Not by choice.

It was on the reddit thread w/ this preview. The movies board on there isn't too bad.

Apparently they're going to do a remake with some "up and coming" rock band with KL doing some vocals on it.

Wubby is fantastic.

Wait...you're telling me that's not real? Prime comment from video - " That's the realest military mustache I've ever seen on film. "

Another interesting thing moving to the merit promotion and 5 year window. It's a feedback system. If you promote early, but pin on in Dec...it's an indicator. If you promote year 5, in Dec... it's another indicator. By all means not the best, but it's something else to look at.

I did GO travel support before, and enough staff time to know how the whole thing works. I also know when doing those the GO's I worked for were great leaders, and worked hard to make sure they were within the rules. I was always happy to help the boss out when they're in a bind (card not working)...but there wasn't a personality issue, and the GO's never expected me to do it. I'm guessing that's different here? I don't know. I just know this seems to be catching a lot of "leaders" these days.

Well, I think some more strat rules will come as well as clear direction to the board. That should help. God forbid the "leaders" actually rate those that are performing well and providing feedback. Just had a Grp CC retire that was the epitome of the shit we've had to trudge through with the myopic "golden child" view for the past 15~20 years (maybe longer). He had someone else's #1 come into the group and the rating Sq/CC said they were absolutely not performing worthy of a Group/Wing Strat. Shit-bird didn't want to "impact his on-ramp" and got him a grp/wg strat. I think about staying in and all of this getting figured out, and seeing where we go as a force. The future is bright...but I'm really fucking tired, and I don't want to move.
