Barksdale is a perfect example of this in full effect. Lots of great people jumping ship and turds getting promoted. It's now the few and far between that are good leaders, most are just 'YES' men. Better yet when the other 'self starters' decide to promote the ones who service them best, now you've got generations of 'CYA' at the leadership levels. Glad I pulled chocks when I did, It's sad to go back and visit now, I can only imagine how it's going to become once this economic downturn spits out all the good ones for not spending more time working on their own CGO of the Q packages. Side note on the budget, KBAD spent god knows what last year on digging up sidewalks so they could move them 4 feet and stylize them with stained concrete in what I can only guess was an attempt to win one million dollars to blow in some other means (should note they only did this down the main drag by the AFGSC HQ building)

It's that time, I am within a year of my ADSC and starting to get nervous about job prospects. Obviously I could just post a resume to Monster.com or the like, but I am looking for advice from others who have made the jump back to civilian life. My bachelor credentials are really not that relative after 6+ years out of any practical school experience (EE). And I am a 12B so aviation wise not qualified for squat. I am really hoping that simply having been an officer and aviator with a current clearance will net me some luck, but I doubt monster.com is going to be much help aside from finding entry level jobs. Are there any good placement firms/resume posting hubs for ex-aviator/officer? How about specific places to post for the big firms (Boeing, Northrop, etc...) Any good resume tips. While I am sure putting on my resume that I am an Officer and SOS grad is great, there's really not all that much to brag about thats practical real world. What types of salaries can I expect? I'm figuring a bit of a shock to the wallet upon my departure, but I'd very much like to avoid that if at all possible. This is a big step and the stress is beginning to mount. I have completely given up on trying to stay in for the long haul. -facepalm edit-
