Warrior

Seriously now - is this the Wg/CC from Little Rock who Azimuth is so fond of? Because I heard from a friend in the Med Group that he was told not to even bother applying because the Wg/CC wouldn't support it. I haven't gotten my paws on a copy of the PSDM yet so I'm not sure if the Wg/CC even gets a vote in this particular process...

So this is what that last csaf memo was about. I saw that email about organizational climate or whatever and just said wtf. When's that vector coming out?

And she has 3 masters degrees. Talk about overachieving! Maybe next years RIF (after they cut everyone who doesn't have theirs yet) will cut anyone who doesn't have 2 of them

Say it ain't so! ...standing by to stand by

Prove it...if you're not joking, I'm applying for vsp.

It wasn't an amc crew?

Glad I'm not the only one who said wtf when I got that email. I thought our primary mission was sex assault prevention. Turns out it's actually dignity and respect or something. I'll try harder to figure it out after my flight...

Another strategic attempt: go to Moscow with a certain former 20th AF commander

The SOS commandant was very clear that that is the direction correspondence was supposed to be going. But that was 2.5 years ago...some things never change

When's the last time a chief got an epr with less than a 5? Maybe 2 in the whole AF this year? For diddling the wrong chick?

Accounting like this is a huge part of the problem. If I understand this scenario correctly, dude who was hired 5 years ago contributes .8 percent. If he's still contributing .8 percent then no one took a pay cut, even if the new hire squadron secretary is contributing 4.4 percent. It's a different job for a different person with a different set of benefits which were known before they signed up. I'm not arguing this is all rainbows and unicorns but it doesn't sound like the sky is falling either. Or am I way off track?

Have no fear. Chang is on it.

I would love to see the service academies play D-III sports. Then you funnel all the football money into the soaring/wings of blue programs. One argument I've consistently heard for sports programs is recruiting-just imagine what having more jump teams would do for recruiting if you had a team jump into the MI vs Ohio state game in front of 110k people. You know-it might help us recruit people who want to fly and do shit the AF does.

Not so fast. We are assuming that half the guys getting out this year is a statistically significant change from last year. I'm not saying it's not, I'm saying that we don't have enough info to claim the sky is falling (in this instance) Not so fast.

2. I think nasty is assuming that the cost/hour reflects all of the logistics chain, FTU, etc. some accountants would argue that the cost/hr should include those but the .gov cooks the books however they see fit

Halfway there is a still a loooong way to go when my crystal ball says the future holds a 365, less and less flying and no end to the retarded BS. I'm too far out from check O the month club to just stick it out. I'd rather go fly for the guard/reserve as a traditional guy and get a real job. Then I still get to fly and big blue doesn't own my ass anymore.

Word. Maybe that palace chase/palace front plan of mine needs to sit on the back burner for a minute to see how this plays out.

Holy hell, that audio is entertaining.

Well stated. Giving preference to minorities cheapens the efforts of the strong performers who happen to be part of that minority group.

2. However, we're not all stone cold killers. Remember the "everyone's a warrior" phase? It doesn't work to have different standards for different communities, and id love for us to all be killers. But we're not. I fly herks. If I ever have to shoot someone it'll be with my M9 and we're having a really terrible day. I'm picking up what you're putting down-landing at Salerno on nvgs is my idea of a party. But how can we possibly relate the combat mission to support agencies? I went to finance yesterday and got there too late. Their hours are no shit 830-1500. I can't remember the last time I left work at 1630 unless I had an 0430 show the next day... The "closed for training/pt/going away lunch/CC call/softball tournament" mentality does not equate to the A-10 CAS/fighter pilot let's kill migs mindset.

But not all homosexuals are navigators.

I'm on board with civilian control of the military, but this witch hunt over sexual assault because someone in congress is unhappy with the ucmj process is ridiculous.

Am I the only one who wants to commit suicide as a result of resiliency training? I mean, nothing says 'don't kill yourself' like a day dedicated to it that really just results in getting to stay late® than normal in order to get/stay caught up since I can't spend that day doing my normal job.

Interesting. I maintain that the only way to really have zero sexual assaults in the military is if we don't have anyone in the military. And we have been repeatedly told that zero is the only acceptable number. I just think that's awfully disingenuous. But don't tell the boss or the SAPR dudes that...

There might be some amount of good in all that, but I see a shitload of YGBSM. Yet another reason to be glad we're not marines.
