Went through BMT in '99, so perhaps things have changed. But I meant non-leadership (student, TI, or otherwise) inspired things. Generally at night after the TI's had departed stupid things happened. We sang, ran around naked, and other assorted embarrassing things that are only appropriate in a training environment, but generally make it easier to get through. Did you not have those occurrences at BMT? OTS we had hats, painted a rock repeatedly, sang... and had those stop march step things. Which were glorious because we could annoy faculty with them.

Went through 09-05 Tiger myself. We did Friday CC call with Pizza. I thought it was a good time, especially the blue falcon's and naming that went on, same for the Sat one as well. Overall it wasn't that bad. I think the gold hawks got dressed up at that time. Hoyas.. who knows. Tigers were a little more "motivated" than the other 2 flights, but we didn't do any stupid costumes, dances, or flash mobs. It's all training environment fun. Same dumb sh*t happens in Basic Training, it's just less "leadership" focused.

I'm not, nor have I ever claimed to be, a pilot. Are we not allowed to have opinions on the internet anymore? I mean, in a WTF thread it must all be fact. Not moral theology, more personal hypocrisy. But whatever you'd like to name it: she's in the news, blanketed in her religion against the big bad AF that wants single mothers to murder their unborn babies.. after they sign a contract and hide it from leadership.

THIS. I've seen so many "leaders" more worried about looking bad than actually having something bad happen, or wanting to take a stand. g2s, glad you've got that leadership. I've had it a couple times as well in almost 13 years. It's probably the reason I stayed in.

We could spin that wheel and I'd be at a loss to figure out which sins require what in prostration/penance/payment. More about the "I'm a faithful Catholic" in one area and holding it up as a reason she couldn't "fix" the problem. But.. if she'd been that devout in the first place there wouldn't have been this situation. Is she married now? I didn't see it in the article, but I was skimming. Where's the faith? Don't throw your faith out there as a reason you can't do something, when you've already done something your faith is against. That being said, I'm glad she didn't boot the kiddo.

My understanding is AMS is now located at Maxwell with OTS and ROTC summer camp. Good site to look through is here - https://www.airforceo...ortal/index.php It's what I used prior to OTS. There is a guard forum and prep forums.

###### that, boards for promotion to 1Lt! You're asking for commanders to actually tell someone they suck. I believe that's called leadership. If you find it in your Sq let me know so I can actually see what it looks like, its been awhile. He could have been one of those "helpers" that go. I've had a couple buds do that for our Comm Cyber O5 boards. However... how are you (Shoe Clerk) Wing Exec'ing as a 1Lt for a year? That speaks to a whole host of other problems. EDIT - Clarity, Spelling and Grammer

This one was a gem - Pick and choose much do we? Should have stayed a technical virgin. As Rainman would say, "Burger King."

Thanks for the info, will pass along to all my buds who're interested in it. Any clue if we'll be have to do the new one as well if we finish the old one first?

Deployed soldier begins sex change https://www.armytimes.com/news/2012/10/PRIME-military-deployed-to-war-zone-soldier-begins-sex-change-101512w/ I always felt like I my left arm shouldn't be attached. I should get a doctor to take care of that for me...

Just to confirm all this new correspondence stuff is still 6 months out from O3 pin on right? Or is it from selection for in-res? Bunch of the O2's I commissioned with are buzzing up a storm to get started on it.

You actually think that this consulting is, in fact, advice for hire? Everyone but you seems to understand what Rainman meant. The senior mentors, those who fled in droves once they were required to report pay and conflicts of interest, are not being discussed here. So.. not "senior mentors". We're talking the current Sq CC's who call their old (now retired) CC's, wingmen, and peers for advice and mentoring. Same with Group, Wing, NAF, and perhaps MAJCOM CCs. I've heard very interesting stories about General Officer grooming that Gen Creech did after he retired. All this "consulting" happens in the Comm Cyber community too. Once again, your lack of understanding, or even just basic knowledge, is telling. EDIT: Is there a way to just ignore folks on this forum?

I'm kind of surprised we haven't heard anything from the Governor since this is twice in less than 4 months impropriety has been pinned on the CC. Not even leaks from the Gen's/Gov's office about upset civilian leadership.

So damn funny, so damn sad.

They did not.

But that's not fair to us support folks!

Not sure if this goes here, or in the WTF thread... It's a bit of a read. More of Rainman's "Goofy Grape Guard" behavior. I'm sure the Gen in charge isn't lying through his f'ing teeth... https://www.militaryt...targeted-101512

Hey, look everybody, a troll!

They don't make us do drill do they? You know.. for discipline, or morale, or.. whatever they can think of.

I just don't even....

That's the flavor of the month year. Perhaps we can just change it back to personnelist at some point. That, or SharePoint monkey. I'm trying to explain to all the Amn/Lt's that have only been in since they got rid of 'em (circa 2007 I think) how big a deal this is. None of them think it's a good idea, or important. I suppose the problem is on my end with all the joyful screaming.

So.. my stint in that wonderful school of ASBC helped me get promoted over a Nav who didn't even have chance to go? How are there no rated guys on the board that can take care of this shit? We've got to have fliers knocking out AAD's for O3? FOR O3!? I think it's bullshit for me as a Cyber guy, but come on!

Don't get your Bachelors and focus on this CCAF that is so educationally strong it can be knocked out with CLEPS, DANTES, and Amn Leadership School. Sounds legit.

Really depends on the leadership. Sometimes they meet at the club in their polo shirts w/ embroidered call signs. I'll let that sink in... Also, European Regional CGO Exec Officer and not married. Plenty of time to Exec (whatever the hell that means) the regional CGO after those 12 hr finance shifts! I rest your case my honor.

But I thought the IG was independent and worked for me?!
