Not saying I agree with it but technically he was not in the wrong. He corrected the Major, the Major ignored him, and instead of the TSgt. going over there and causing an even bigger seen, he used the chain of command.
Like it or not, it was not technically wrong.
And you all have serious ######ing problems if you think your officership qualifies you as any better of a person.
You people? Way to show your ass dipshit.
Copy, I'll be screaming across a chow hall at the OG/CC for having his FDU sleeves around his elbows and morale patch. Thanks for clearing up who's in the wrong on this one.

For the rest of us who don't know who this Lt Col is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Grossman_%28author%29
Hope he comes to my location. Don't know why his books aren't on the CSAF Reading List.

It is.
In the rare, rare cases. Usually it's to reward some General's aide (Folgeso... I can't finish it) or to keep that fire-walled volunteer of the year moving up to MSgt so they can tell you how to wear a reflective belt correctly.
On a plus side I did have a Chief 1Sgt who was STEP'd to Master, rode a Harley, cursed, smoked and kicked ass. She was great.

Happens to me all the time. Wait? What?

Wonder where the politics are worse AD or Guard. See/hear this sort of nonsense all the time when they come visit.

NDA's are usually 99 years, so I think he came in a little early.

According to Fox -
"Police have determined that three people were struck by whole bullets -- two of which were removed from victims at the hospital -- and the rest were grazed "by fragments of some sort," Kelly said."

Pretty much this. I was KM for a number of years, and had 10+ additional duties at any given time. And FWIW Records Management is not an add'l duty...it's one of like 5 "core competencies" for that AFSC. As long as a sq has a 3D0 assigned, the RM program should not be jacked.
You'd think so, but often they just add'l duty it out to each shop and have the 3D0 do "inspections" on everyone's files and make sure they're in line with the file plan.
God I wish I didn't know all this file plan shit...

Tried to explain what the Orderly Rooms were like to a new Lt. He couldn't wrap his head about not having to constantly be at finance/MPF for stuff.

Did they specifically tell you flight suit or just to be in uniform? If it was the latter, I'd definitely wear mess dress. No question.
Short-sleeved blues shirt with all your ribbons, tie with air force symbol tie tac, wheel cap, button-up cardigan, black cowboy boots. That'll show 'em!
Great ideas, I'll pass it around. I don't get bags.
Say what?
Yep. That was sent to the wife... in the Ops Sq!
I remember back in my old day ('99) that you'd get food for free, and occasionally a day off/pass for volunteering. Plus the FOD walk afterwards always had the golden screw (STS) or whatever it was called.
EDIT: Added memories of an AF past.

Voluntold for base Air Show.
10-6 on a Sat, in uniform of course.
No coolers or backpacks allowed. No food provided.
If you were scheduled for weekend duty, good news! Friday word came down you wouldn't have to schedule leave for Air Show support.
WTF happened to my Air Force?

"Welsh shunned policy and budget talk – admitting he’s still getting up to speed — in favor of outlining his expectations for NCOs, drawing equal amounts of chuckles and applause. Those expectations included being “real” NCOs who stand up for what they believe in, are not afraid to care for their airmen and show it, and are never afraid to lead."
“People plus pride equals performance,” Welsh said. “Performance is our bottom line. There is no other bottom line in this business. Nobody is going to care how well we treated our people if we lose the next war.”
Granted it's from a rag, but it seemed interesting and pertinent. Thoughts? First thing I remember from Schwartz was Blues Monday. Will this be the first thing we remember Welsh for; Telling NCO's to lead Amn?
-
Is there a move back to the regulation format vs the AFI touchy feely? I've heard so many crusty-(insert rank here) decry the move away from AFR as watering down everything.
Another thing I'll have to read through to argue with Chiefs. Also, writing culture down is.. iffy at best.

My old first sergeant sums it up nicely:
"People will wonder where our instruments are."
We have a cereminial uniform:
Wow that's nice.

Looks sweet, plus The Most Interesting Man in the World Boris the Blade is the bad guy. Stay thirsty my friends!

His letter was very well written and for the firs time in a decade I'm excited about the AF's future.
While I don't get friday shirts/patches/Sq bars, hopefully he'll let us Support guys have back some of our morale items as well.
Or.. he'll just give us all flight suits!
--ducks--

What an absolute coward.

Looks like she made it on Fox news. Interesting contrast between her and the other women in the interview.

Saw this break come up while I was on shift and got to the audio as quickly as possible. First thing I thought as well was. "Wow.. blink much?" Additionally, her voice cuts glass.

At my base they basically have all of the shitty additional duties that nobody else in the OG anyone wants to do...They work 12-hour days and receive zero praise. After talking to them, their jobs pretty much suck wherever they are assigned, and most of them try to cross-train.
FIFY & Truth.

Easy Francis. I wasn't talking about EOD or Red Horse, but the base CE that take 2.5 years to fix a water leak in the vault (true story) among other things.
Same.
I meant that when CE has an outage, water for example, it's less "what did you do, fix it now!, I want a full AAR on why email was down for 20 min" or "why are the emails I sent to my wife's yahoo account taking so long to get there" (Wing King request.. wish I was kidding) and more "they're working on it, they're undermanned, etc". I've yet to have that experience in Comm even though the majority of our outages are:
1) Pushed by higher level leadership (consolidating services, pushing patches not tested)
2) Underfunded Contractors/Incompetent GS Civilians
3) Underfunded equip maintenance(most Comm equip "upgrades" are EOY funds, last base had 8yr old EOL servers, Wing refused to "upgrade" them because they were working)
4) Black Magic
5) Lack of training & experienced Amn
Additionally if I had an Amn working early '09 tickets into Nov of '10, then refusing to do the work because we moved the TV... I'd expect to get shit on. For CE.. that's just how they work and it's ok with the majority of leadership.
EDIT - Forgot the jab at GS Civilians

What does a "knowledge operations manager" do?
When I was in "real Comm" they made SharePoint pages.... and back filled the post office.
We could yank some for admin duties, though that was a fight with an idea-fairy E8 (now E9) to get done.
It's been awhile since I've looked at their training but I believe they do the SharePoint, and also the file plans. Though I can't be sure.
So the time it takes to fix a computer is going to improve? Sweet!
Ha I keed I keed!
Cheers. BL
No you don't. Half the problem is lack of manning, the other half is lack of training/experience. The final half (what?) is that people think it's magic and "us nerds" should just be able to make it work. If only CE had the same expectations we do.

I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath for a finance specialist...
Were Finance Amn ever in the Sq's? I've been in since '99 and we had Personnel/Knowledge, but never finance. Ops different in this? I assume you don't mean RA's.
Comm took some huge cuts, pushed admin work the the different Sq's, then decided that wasn't secure and pulled it back to the Comm Sq.. without increasing manning. Now they're getting rid of the Amn we used for Administrator work? Enjoy your 3 days of broke computers.

That all checks with the Corona notes. Lots of good changes coming our way (if implemented as discussed).
So... can I get a copy of those?
Last ones I saw had the original version of the Creed - '07ish. I'll just say hate what we got, but be thankful they changed it.

One of our guys just got back, said their flight adopted the motto "four times."
Apparently not appreciated by the commander.
Only motto's worthing having are those "not appreciated"
New USAF Uniforms?

Wife's still have O1 rank on 'em. Apparenlty unless you're addressing the unwashed masses (as a O6+), they're not required.
Once again.. I just want patches back.
