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.

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

I thought we were taking 100 year chunks and measuring body count...

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.

STS

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." https://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/08/25/nypd-shooting-bystander-victims-hit-by-police-gunfire/ EDIT - decided to cite my source.

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.

Great ideas, I'll pass it around. I don't get bags. 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?

https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2012/08/air-force-new-chief-mark-welsh-to-ncos-instill-pride-in-airmen-081512/ 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.

Wow that's nice.

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.

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.

FIFY & Truth.
