What's wrong with the Air Force?
The new Course 14 is 3,000 poorly worded and confusing slides, with no module reviews, and a 37-question test. Then they wonder why the failure rate is reported to be around 50-60%.

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
Almost as bad as those flashing blue and red lights that you guys forget to turn off at night.

Who is "Doom?"
What, are you supposed to change your local training sorties callsigns monthly and used secure and Have Quick on every sortie? GMAFB How about we focus on the dipshits who compromise the Comm's daily in the AOR first...

A non-pilot? Nope. Plus she's junior to all the other potentials. My money is on Selva.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Depends. I got in trouble at my last assignment and was made an example of. I wasn't going to get a dec at all as a SNCO. The Sq/CC who handed me a LOR and UIF, and let me keep my MSgt stripe, wrote a push note to the OG saying I had recovered from something two years prior, I was human and was bound to make mistakes, and I was one of the best SNCO's in his Sq and while I wouldn't get an MSM, I did deserve a PCS medal of some kind. He is a leader, well known in the C-17 and KC-135 community. I get what you're saying, however in my experience most Sq/CC's wouldn't of done a push note like that because they just don't want to argue or get on the radar of their boss. But that's the problem. The OG/CC doesn't really know me, my Sq/CC does. He/she are the ones who go to bat for me. If I'm a Group/CC and I have a Sq/CC going to bat for one of their troops over a dec, and they don't do this all the time, I'll approve it because I'm trusting my Sq/CC's judgement. The AF is now filled with risk adverse managers who are too worried about upsetting their bosses and/or possibly derailing their career over sticking up for their troops.

Changing Airframes
A few prior F-15C drivers from Montana ANG moved to the Washington ANG flying KC-135's. I've also seen a few folks from Ft Smith move from A-10's to KC-135's.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Please, as a prior FTU instructor getting DG sometimes is just luck of who you flew with/checked with and whatever grade they wanted to fill out in the Rec/Check database. It's as flawed as PME DG.

That's common sense, which isn't apart of AMC.

No, apparently the stowaway on the Herk at Ramsteim scared some folks at AMC.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Was told today that to do a Coronet to Hawaii, per AMC, crews will have to check out guns, arm while flying, A-Bag, and ground chem mask. This is for all TACC tasked missions that aren't CONUS, unless otherwise specified in the IFM remarks. I'm so done with this shit.
