  1. So.. stupid question. Aren't your functionals 11F's as well? Or do you mean someone higher up that I'm not aware of?
  2. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. https://www.armytimes.com/article/20130529/NEWS/305290002/Making-sex-tape-crime-troops-court-rules

    Late night + nyquil + cold, MX complete.

    I'm not sure if you don't understand the support side organization or the CC after flight. Support side of the house thing - Flight Commander (CC) have official photos taken and put up on the "Sq Leadership" board w/ the Sq CC, Chief and Shirt. So for the next year+ my 5 days of growth is going to be up for everyone to see. Our Sq flights run different than your guys Ops Sq's, at least where I'm at. I've got almost 150 Amn/30 Civ in my flight running Comm Ops for the base. I think the closest comparison is ADO?

    Just had my flight CC official photo taken. Man up.
  6. ESD had a DCO conference the other day. Some of their stats are... shocking. As is the fact that AFSPC seriously under-estimated demand.. then under-manned the positions, then slashed the contractors during sequestration. Basically you're calling an organization that's manned 1/2 of what it was before Christmas. So, thank AFSPC for once again managing a domain they could really not give a shit about (hi Nukes!) and blaming that community for it's own problems. Good news, if you're having problems you can ask/push your base Comm. Sq about Federated Rights which is returning many of admin privileges to the base. I know at my base we did a hard push for it (and then an upper agency has since sat on it..) and we're hoping to get help to our customers soon.
  7. Oh no.. missing curfew is the worst thing you can do there.

    Sweet, these are the quality force indicators Liquids talking about when identifying those not fit for command right? RIGHT?
  9. This is where I'd love to have Liquid chime in and tell me how these people make it through. How did the namesake of this thread get that high, do that much damage, and nothing happened? 360 Feedbacks going to solve this? Nope, not if the spineless leadership just promotes the problem away. Just make us all civil service and get it over with. At least I won't have to take leave on the weekends and get matching TSP.
  10. Why is it so rare for a Sq CC to get fired for creating these toxic environments? Can the Wing CC not see what's going on? Are they not aware of the MEO/EO. IG, fraud complaints? I've watched Sq's just tank the mission when one of these hard chargers rolls in and they do their 2 years and go off to school. Watching it right now in an Ops Sq. That's the part I don't understand. I get that the way we select will let a few stinkers get command billets. But for some reason the AF won't fire the under-performers, or the toxic destroyers. Is it they figure the Flt CC's, and DO's will protect the Sq? That the careers destroyed and the qualified people driven away are worth the command experience? I've seen situations where the Group CC hates the Sq CC.. but nothing happens. Well, except promotion to full bird for Sq CC for being a "performer". Just realized it's not even at the Wing level. I've seen this reluctance to remove someone in NCOIC positions, and Lt's/Capt running a shop. Why are we so scared of firing people who are harming our organization through neglect, abuse and malice?

    Exactly. The production value was amazing, and it was the first time giant monsters/robots had a real weight on the screen. Additionally, while the cities got destroyed, at least the characters attempted to not break everything and keep the monsters away. A small plot point that I really appreciated.
  12. We've got this new one going on - AFNET will wipe your profile after 90 days non-use. So far all my Operators out here at Offutt who deploy for 100 days.. they come back to a nice clean workstation with no docs/files/favorites. I'm working with the 3 organizations that "manage" what we're calling our network now. Three.. and they don't communicate, or exist near each other.
  13. Welcome to the AFNET, you're welcome.

    If Godzilla is done as well as Pacific Rim was then it should be great.
  15. it's amazing watching all of USAFE shift from what this asshat induced to what it became under Gen Hobbins. I only got about 1.5 years of this idiot and think I've commented on it before. But because of his awful commercials and penchant for flights I thought we were a fighter base for a long time. It's the only aircraft I'd see at his CC Calls/Fun Runs.
  16. Yep, just submitted the Excel form for rack/stack at my location. Had SOS Corr, PT scores, and Master's Status. Then a small block for DG and/or other awards. My CC, a good dude, told me I was "behind my peers" since I hadn't finished SOS yet (pinned Capt on Jun 13). Been hammering out a non-Internet Masters. Think I'll keep doing that, and kicking ass at job vs PME corr. If getting the fake-PME done a year later is going to keep me from O4.. that's fine. The AF gets what it selects.
  17. Say again? I'd put my basing list up against yours! I found it very interesting being and Vandy and seeing the.. issues between the E's and O's in the OG. There's going to be a similar issue with us, but along the A/B shred.. and then with the 1B Cyber-Ops E's. All my peers and I want to know is how the cross-flow to "A-Shred Operators" is going to work in the future with Sq CC's, NOSC, ESD's etc.. Currently we've got a Maj CC'ing a Sq with a tenant unit run by a Lt Col. Figure that crap out. I'm trying to unscrew my bases' migration to the AFNET, and asked the "Crew Commander" Lt for a org chart showing the flow for cyber direction. Holy Mary. There's no way to explain who to call for a problem.
  18. Just had a SrA here get pop'd for golden flow. He reported to his CC that he had partaken in said paraphernalia, and went to piss. Pissed clean. Wing CC didn't sign his drug use waiver and he's a civi now.
  19. Word on street here is COMACC is going to deny it for all non-flyers. I rather hope not.
  20. You're not wrong. Shouldn't fall apart then either. CSAF got tossed.. the AF didn't.. oh wait.
  21. Moved you guys out, moved us in. Perfect.
  22. But that's just this young generation who's weak, expects no challenges, and is unmotivated. /S Getting to listen to retired and/or dead-eyed old officers tell me that the young Airmen/Officers coming in have it so cushy when we're 1/4 of the force and funding these mental rust buckets had is getting old fast. Keep leading by being blatantly biased in your selection of shiny pennies who can do no wrong, writing tests that don't actually take into account skill or experience, work to destroy any sense of team morale and camaraderie and then to top it off write about "rot" that is (apparently) just starting and only occurring at the lowest ranks or how people are motivated for fried potato snacks. If we don't see a sweep out of leadership in the next 3 months then nothing will change. Those leaders who got "counseled" will hide away until the current thing blows over and then come back with mission-planning for driving to the capsule and contingency plans for insect attacks on convoys.
  23. Or you know.. a ghost writer.
  24. I'm 4 classes (currently enrolled in 2) from finishing a program at a legit school. I'm not stopping now after all this ass-pain.. it'll just make it hurt more.
