17D_guy

We don't call it weaponized Autism for nothing. Sure. Having walked the halls of Ops Sq's the culture is in the air. The expectation is worn on your patches on the pajamas all us non-air-breathing-operators crave. Everyone knows that the aircrew have spent X years training, flying, fighting. You guys have Sq bars, you're segregated from the rest of the AF by sheer pinnacle of your achievement. As I think you should be, you've earned it. I don't have that in a normal Comm Sq. I've got Airmen who never touched a computer besides MS Office for school that are working the core servers, all the way up to the guy who failed a credit short of a CS degree because he almost went pro in Fortnite. I've got officers who are geology/english majors who got Cyber because "needs of the Air Force." This is on par with the bros who signed up for real flying and got RPA's...but they have to "lead" Amn that are about the same age. How many officers in a Ops sq you know that can't get to work on time? I've had to separate 3 Amn for that. I had to deal with 4 sexual assault cases at the same time, when those finally wrapped up 3 pissed hot. So, the 17D that @HarleyQuinn mentions comes off as a douche from that single statement. I don't agree with ordering it...but it's nice to not get blindsided by some idiot failing at the last minute and having to report it to a douche Wing CC who thinks PT's the pinnacle of leadership. Which is where we been for about a decade. 1 story to kinda illustrate - Airman shithead was late to duty on a Saturday. Boss found him asleep in his car...suspicion of drinking. On Monday we (Super and I) pull him in for a conversation. I order him to stay silent (not self-incriminate), and tell him our suspicions and run him through the consequences. I tell him about the options to driving while intoxicated, and ask him to be a professional, he's a needed team member, etc. I release him to his supervisor and superintendent. 2 weeks later DUI.

13 hours was fantastic. Recently watched Wild Country on Netflix. Was pretty amazing.

Hold up...2009 hasn't even been announced for promotion

It's funny because the previous Manager E9s took all the shit offices tried to get rid of (ex. Practice Bleeding) and put it on top of a stretched Force...

Another good one from Enlisted Jesus is the removal of practice bleeding via Course 14/15 for our NCO/SCNOs. Don't know if you zipper-suited-sun-gods care that much, but over on the support side it's a big deal. I had good folks get screwed because of the stupidity this caused when implemented. CMSAF Wright has almost wiped out anything close to a legacy the idiot before him put in place. Hope it burns.

And said asshole is now crying about how he didn't mean it that way, and everyone else over-reacted. "All these places contacted me for comments, or sharing the video...I had no idea it would blow up so big." King Blue Falcon acts like he's the arbiter of public Air Force outrage, a Mikey Weintsein of secular "honor" infraction. A machine of his own making ruined 3 people's lives, and he's attempting to distance himself from it. What a cowardly villain, inept in his own power - https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/04/29/military-page-admin-i-wish-id-handled-dino-puppet-video-differently.html

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/20472/retired-general-says-f-22-production-was-killed-so-that-a-new-bomber-could-live Fuck those guys. So much faulty logic in the decision to even offer up the F-22 as a sacrificial lamb...

I saw it sober.

3!

Watching that makes me think that Welch and James didn't seem to get along as well as Fingers and Wilson.

"circulated to Air Force enthusiast group pages" Not the words I'd use for those assholes.

Good stuff, but did he in effect the last round? The one where our (awesome) UN Ambassador came back with the, "I'm not confused."

I like how '09 got fucked every-single-way for any promotion outside Lt. Also...what's the difference between opportunity now...and opportunity for '08s and previous if they're going to cull at SAF level?

Ugh.. that made me throw up in my mouth.

Enjoyed "A Quiet Place" very much.

Huh.. let me check that meter

Everyone needs to read that FBI/IG report. Gonna disagree here, seems to be working and is the only thing I like about current Administration.

Imagine how I felt when they said all the data would be saved on a thermometer.

Saw Rampage. Stupid 80's action fun, with updated characters. Worth money and time.

I've never seen active duty officers work another job. Hobbies that made them money... Sure. But not something with dedicated hours and "a boss.". I know there was clear guidance of "no" while I was on OTS. Enlisted, all the time with CC approval.

I agree for the most part. We've seen what Obama's foreign policy brought. More death and destruction which he claimed to want to get rid of. Trump's been a lot of talk and chaos. We'll know in another year what role his bluster will do on the world stage. I'm not a fan. Plus the parade is ing stupid.

For this the report mentioned the admin duties and other work that's been given to pilots, not your actual job. The one page is rather daming, not sure if the rest of the 69 is worth the look. Let me know when SECAF starts holding some former 3 & 4-stars accountable...

And the rats are fleeing the sinking ship.

Pacific Rim 2 - Fun addition to the original. If you liked the first, this one goes a little more light heartd, but has some interesting story decisions that kept me invested throughout. Ready Player One - Typical Spielberg quality with a mind-numbingly simple story trying to get by on cramming as many past pop-culture references as possible on a screen. Go see it either late, or after a few weeks to avoid the teenagers and weaboo's who think they're hip screaming when they see their favorite Pokeman.
