Did I miss something...is it cool now to have a ludicrous number of exclamation marks in stories?

Our base has two wings - the CC of the tenant wing is an O-6, host wing is an O-7. The commissary has a number of O-6 spots as well as one O-7 spot and a spot for each wing CC. The host wing CC is the only O-7 on base...so he effectively has two parking spots. I asked a manager why this was and she just shrugged it off, which I suppose I should have expected.

Got it. That's not a problem with the system, that's a problem with being around a bunch of douchebags. I've never been anywhere where guys turned into dickheads for a strat or DP.
Hold on - you're not still talking about FITREPs, are you? FITREPs assign a score to each individual from 1-5 like an EPR. But unlike an EPR, they also display the commander's average ranking assigned to his personnel - so I five doesn't mean shit when the group average is also a five, but it stands out when the group average is a 3 (as designed). And their are a certain percentage of allowed "promotable" designators for each rank - no different than a DP. Those are the two primary scores on the FITREP.
How? It prevents bullshit firewall reports by basically using a standard of deviation for raters. How does it promote backstabbing any more than our OPR stratification system?
All the CFP BS made me think of another idiotic antiquated issue we have. If I want to pick up the phone and make a long distance call....I can't. Eventhough every phone company in the US has free long distance phone calls, the Air Force still hasn't figured it out. When I worked in safety, this become a big issue when we had a mishap - we weren't able to make calls to the FAA and ATC folks, and since cell phones don't get reception in our building, we were running back and forth from our office to the front doors on our cell phones while trying to run safety checklists. After the fact we tried to get access on our phones for long distance calling and were told that we could: a) Be issued a long distance PIN that we'd have to enter prior to every long distance call b) Have a phone granted long distance access, but every long distance call would have to be logged. Both of these are kind of inconvenient when there's a smoldering jet on the airfield, so we just stuck with cell phones and jogging.
Biggest foul of the entire story
Harumph. I would nominate you for the next CSAF if I knew you wouldn't scoff and take a giant dump on my letter of recommendation. Haven't been keeping up with the news lately, have you? "We" are firing plenty of people, but not all those were the people that needed to be fired.
Wow...has it been two years since somebody had a SFS story? Air Force security holds granny at gunpoint at Wright Patterson
Right, but who do you think fired him?
HIPPA for dead folks. The info can't be released for 50 years, unless....
I wouldn't trust a commander who didn't do something as a CGO worth being fired over.
Senior Air Force officer loses job over 'inappropriate' emails Sacked for emails...that must suck. Anybody at Randolph have more info? I was in Venom's squadron 10 years ago, so I'm curious as to what happened. I'll take a PM if you don't think it's appropriate to post here.
Christ, Michael Bay...couldn't you at least try to not make it look like a Transformers commercial?
To each his own, I guess.
"Are you kidding?" Start at 1:30. I'm not an airline pilot - but flying visual landings at night with instruments as a backup seems totally bassackwards.
