Good luck changing the culture in the 13S careerfield without ending some careers.

I've seen it happen. Loadmaster goes out and buys an Yamaha R1. Doesn't do both motorcycle courses required by AMC. Gets into bad wreck where he breaks bones. Tricare refused to cover the injuries. YMMV, but the threat is real and I personally wouldn't want to roll the dice.

It is when you're in it and don't have "student" in your duty title.

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
Wing King here today told us that he approved the 20 VSP's on the C-17 side and the 6 on the KC-135 side, however he said he added a statement in the application stating how many pilots he could afford to lose before it started to impact FTU production, and then how many pilots per year he couldn't produce above that number if they approved more VSP's. But he was very fair, up front, and very respectable as a leader. Which seems to be rare these days.

Students are required to fill out a 29B regardless of rank/age. Permanent party instructors in AETC, that are under 26, have too as well. It's an accountability thing more than anything. Some AETC based don't have a local area defined.9

Actually this is the USAF, they probably did. Remember, flying the aircraft is only #18 on their list.

Shaw AFB Capt Missing
A KC-135 Nav at McConnell who claimed some Army Maj raped him and asked his leadership to PCS him due to threats on his life. They investigated him and found out he was a pathological liar.

That's a kind version of what I heard from an old CMSgt. "The Air Force won't wipe your ass or change your diapers at 70. Plan accordingly."

Fire all the 13N leadership, replace with rated leadership to change the culture, reverse brainwash young CGO's and FGO's. Any O-6+ 13N is too far along in their mindset to be saved and should be taken out of command. It's almost like a Rage virus, you'll have to see who's infected and who's not. This is going to be as painful, if not worse, than the Shaw scandal that spawned all the Witch hints for "questionable" material.

Why are EWO tests not standardized between the bases? How come tanker/bomber aircraft that take EWO tests don't have to cheat to pass them?

What I wrote was nothing that I either hadn't heard before, said in person, etc. He wanted to make an example of me and show me how much control he had, thankfully he's retired now in Oregon (if you're reading this, don't think I didn't keep tabs on you). I still remember him saying, "I'll be out there" right after he slammed the phone down after chewing me out.
