###### 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?!

Is there a problem w/ the way that Capts are getting passed over? Legit question, I'm not there, nor are my peers so I'm unqualified to respond.

Best thing for my career in the AF was figuring out that email really wasn't that important. Servers, routers, switches, etc - not important of themselves, or because I worked on them. Before Comm went Ops the important stuff was the UAV video, ATO's, emergency orders and that sort of enabling that was our real mission. We had a Wing CC - BG Wright, who's slogan was "Where are you in the kill chain". Sounds lame, especially since we were at Beale, but he pushed it and people started to come around and realize what the real mission was about. He'd do Sq tours and ask the Amn where they were and they'd have to answer. I still think about it when I'm trying to explain to Senior Leaders that stuff, does in fact, just break and we can't tell them when it will happen or why, or how long it'll take to fix. Especially blackberry's, damn those things to hell.

Most Helpful Critical Review- Wow.

Having had to hand hold my Navy supervision through this process (and the shitty O5 that made me write my own PRF) I can tell you that AFI is full of goodness for your situation. It's not full of feelings and interpretation like some other ones (ex. 36-2903). It clearly lays out who will do what when. Read it, learn it. Take it with edfsr's post and work it (STS). The worst that could happen is you wait a year for O3. Besides.. it's not like a Capt/Maj exec is going to get in trouble or held responsible. That never happens.

You forgot these sections: and finally Finance using not accurate numbers.
