Think this goes here - US Air Force officer found 'astride topiary dog' https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/10783334/US-Air-Force-officer-found-astride-topiary-dog.html

ESD closing ticket, customer didn't respond.

We as in the Congress, not we as in the Air Force.

All part of that Obama plan to make America's foreign policy a joke around the world. Also.. good to see his face is still melting.

No.. that couldn't happen. Everyone like how their internet worked today? See, resources effectively used! I'm not sure how in depth I want to get on our vulnerability mitigation, services hosted where, and the what not. I've been doing this 16 years and I'm still confused when I call a TSg "crew commander" and they tell me another service (ex. email) has moved to a different Det because they were having problems. When I was at ASBC (hold the laughs) My speech was about how Cyber needed to become it's own force if it was to be used effectively. But that's just because I want to be called a Cyberman. And blue flight suits.

So you're saying it should be AF Cyber command... with some Space as a NAF.

Probably didn't know. I didn't know about it until I got on here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.. lets not get in the way of some traditions

So, back to things that are wrong: Deploying 60% of your support force (Comm, FSS, Finance, SF, etc) while flying operational missions out of the base. Because AEFNEXT or whatever shit we're calling it now. Don't forget those TCN taskings that came up last second or the reclama's that come down. Enjoy the ESD boys, at least they'll have people around to pick up the phone... eventually.

yes, It really seems like the CMSAF is coming through on a bunch of this stuff. And doing it in a way that will last instead of just issuing a memo or talking about it. AFI's are getting changed, and solid guidance to senior raters. At least that's how I take it.

Isn't vast majority of O-3's planned to be in-res though? Is that not a good discriminator now?

Sigh.. it was the "Billy Mitchell" version.

So the recording wasn't presented at trial?

Mentioned it to the Vice when he came around for his immersion tours today. He said thanks/sorry. He seems like a stand up dude, so we'll see if the interaction changes.

AFI dropped today restricting SOS enrollment until >7 years TIG. Currently enrolled in C are automatically cancelled and D have the "option" to cancel. I'd call that a win.

Hopefully Michael Bay

DS & exec were demanding it get done ASAP since he pinned on Fri. And yep.. we can't update NIPR GAL info. That pulls straight from DEERS now. SIPR we finished on Saturday. So.. it takes 3 days to update changes. DOR is the 15th.. so for 3 days the rank could be wrong. THE HORROR.

My Amn got called in over the weekend to update the GAL rank for a recently promoted O7.

Don't forget that they were told their job wasn't important enough to keep a good number of them at the base and got out-sourced to a central facility to "improve quality & save $." Again, they're not the tip of the spear, but no one likes being told their job isn't important and can be done better, cheaper and somewhere else with the resulting lack of personnel, training and mentoring being removed to make that "efficiency" happen. And then getting passive aggressive missives from some ass on the other and complaints about being closed for training, etc. The Bronze Stars are still bullshit though.

What loss and courage. Thank you for sharing.

I love those days.

Well if they were in Osan they were in a war zone right? Did they get hazard pay? Too bad they couldn't drink.. oh wait. They were only TDY there, they're exempt.

Crazy eyes, she'll fit right in.

Yep. It's basically a list of every skill with identifiers of knowledge level that every person in the AFSC should. For example task: send email - id'd as a core task(so required for qualification)/optional - requires initial(familiarization)/journeyman(performance)/craftsman(trainer) level knowledge - signed off by a higher level than the trainee accomplishing it This is.. amazing. I'm not sure how they're going to accomplish this in the local Comm Sq. We get CC's in that never hit a NOSC/Crew CC/Cyber Ops position and will not be signed off on tasks that could be required. I suppose they'll grandfather people in.. though that makes no sense from a training standpoint. They could just make it so local comm support requirements are very little and once you get to a Cyber Ops area you've got to back train on tons of items. Which will be fun trying to train up as an O4 DO with a Lt/Capt signing you off on stuff. Oh.. and the Ops positions also have their own training requirements separate from this. Chance of those going away in favor of this - nil. Thanks AF, more duplication of work! Where's the space guy? Is this how you all do it? Found space guy's username and PM'd him to not clutter the board.

Well Cyber AFSC is splitting again, but they dropped a CFETP for us now. Figure that one out. We're also being directed to start getting certifications though funding and planning for that will be accomplished "in the future." Do you Ops guys have CFETPs or do you track your training a different way.
