Cops have since called the whole thing bullshit. As always - Can't Trust a Crack Whore.

Was it not loud enough, and you fell asleep?

I wonder if they were putting the raw feed out and looking at the delay on set. Great annoyed face there at the end. I got to watch the profuse apologizing afterwards. You know in between gold, diabetes, medical supply, and mesothelioma lawsuit ads.

Report Slams Military's Recent Camouflage Uniforms
17D_guy replied to GearDownNoGreen's topic in General Discussion
Was going to link that myself. For you bag wearers, that's the reason I get mad you wear flight suits when not flying. Because leadership makes shit decisions for our uniform because they don't wear it! It's terrible even inside in non-combat! Wearing it once a week is fine for the stars who brought us this thing (when addressing Amn, photo ops, etc). I really didn't care that much about staff-weenies rocking their PJ's until I started wearing this tiger-stripped disaster. They fit terribly and never get comfortable like the BDU's did after a few washes. it's like I'm constantly pulling on cardboard when I get ready for work. You also have to try on each set you buy since it's a toss up if they cut the sleeves/legs to the right length. I was super excited when Comm Officers became 17D/Cyber Ops because I thought we'd be getting bags at some point. I mean, we're ops right? Just like missileers and space jocks. Well, we all know how that turned out. I would love to have BDU's back. Sure I have to iron a little, and make the boots stay black. But at least I could have patches (you know - heritage & morale) and waterproof boots. Or hell, just let us all wear OCP/multcam, I've heard nothing bad about that uniform. Also: bring back Squadron hats. We already get trashed enough for losing our way and trying to sit at the "we're all warriors" table. This f*cking uniform thing is additional nonsense I get at work constantly now. The "aquaflage" looks like the original wear test AF leadership started in 2005. But it got mocked so hard they had to drop it. At least the navy went full digital instead of sticking with this stupid and useless tiger-stripe infatuation. https://www.af.mil/ph...yID=231&page=18 -
EDIT - Nevermind As far as APO I volunteered a lot when I was at Ramstein at their post office. I left right when they started taking 2 day weekends (sun & mon I believe). Those guys were slammed every day, and it was worse Oct - Feb obviously. I used shipitapo dot com and it was ok, if a little expensive and slow.

Was not aware that was optional.

Which one?

"I totally agree that their findings about you were wrong. I'll send a letter to the bosses on your behalf, and here's a LOR so you can...fight it." "Oh, you didn't like the LOR? Fine, you're fired since I can't trust you anymore." EDIT: Clarity... stupidity actually.

Guess she didn't knock out that Resiliency CBT Police: Wife Stages Shooting To Avoid Air Force Deployment https://houston.cbslocal.com/2012/09/14/police-wife-stages-shooting-to-avoid-deployment/

Nice. When I got guys PTDY for a week multiple times a year to do multiple funerals for folks who didn't retire, or serve even close to a decade, or did their draft time in Germany, it seems a bit strange. The broad from "who wants to marry a millionare" gets a military funeral if she/family so desires. Yea.. fck the vets is totally what I was saying. Also, happened during Bush II's presidency. Obama is clear, though I think the Congress might have been Democrat at the time. EDIT: Political Clarity

Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP
17D_guy replied to Swizzle's topic in Squadron Bar
Wait.. what? I've got 15% monthly kicking over into that thing, and maxing out my IRA this year. For the first time ever actually, kinda proud. NM - 15% is just over 1/2 the allowed limit.

Can we stop making same deals for everyone that spent a month in uniform for those that served 20? My Amn on the honor guard lost their minds when Congress decided ALL vets can have a military funeral.

I think they TOTALLY get it (Suicides)
17D_guy replied to Napoleon_Tanerite's topic in General Discussion
He didn't get his CBT's done... an appropriate response to his failures. -
2 techniques - 1) Had Amn ask me why they had to do something when aircrew didn't. Appropriate response is "Shut the fck up, I own you, not them." 2) When I was in Korea they were pushing no headphones while running on the street hard. We were doing group runs w/ the DO Maj "leading" us. We pull around the corner and this dude rolls by on the street in PT gear with headphones in and we point it out. Maj says, "He's a pilot" and we roll on. However, this confirmed the Maj was a douch to the rest of the Sq, but we already suspected.

1st female Air Force combat vet in run for congress
17D_guy replied to F-15E WSO's topic in Squadron Bar
Copy, like the ones we do for Unit Climate Assesments. I'm surprised it didn't show her winning by a landslide. Also, any line on who the major funders are? -
So, dumb question from a non-pilot: Do you have to retrain in each of these airframes separately once they've been upgraded or is it a simple familiarization flight? Also how long does that take? There's quite a few different block models ID'd for the upgrade. Thnx

Really? I would have thought all the Muslim.. I mean Moor conquests and Crusades would have been bigger. But then again.. China has always had a lot of people to kill. -
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.

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 - https://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. -
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.

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