Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
You do realize that there are some aircraft that train O's and E's to fly together and to work together right? Enlisted PJ's, SERE, CCT's, worked just fine for decades before the invention of CRO/STO's. In fact TAMI 21 also took a bunch of shitty staff jobs and converted the grade required from CGO/FGO to SNCO's. Apparently Levitow must have been following a checklist when he jumped on those flares to save the his crew and aircraft winning the MoH. There's no way he could've think outside the box.

Both are better than Altus. And by better I mean have a BX that didn't close.

The AIB will be out soon. That is releasable to the public.

Promotion and PRF Information
Great advice, I do the same with subordinates. Give me the admin fill out from the shell (if its wrong, fix it), good content with action, impact maybe, and possibly result, I'll be the wordsmith, and leave the push lines blank.

PCS Bingo
My DO at the time told me that. I just laughed and walked away. Dude at by last base had a fini flight that ended up being a no-notice check.

The tone of this post makes me think your worst assignment was your UPT base.

That happens at Altus a lot.

Egress maintainers actually maintain ejection seats, not AFE. Glad everyone got out!

C-17 lands short at Dover
Hickman, Spang, and Mildenhall (when they had one), always were helpful and I've never had issues. I saw a -17 crew wait at the window at Ramstein for 10-minutes trying to get someone to help them. The AC picked up the phone, which auto dialed the number to the A1C who was 10ft away, who then told him it'll be a 15-minute wait before he could help them. He was busy checking Facebook.

Ramstein AMCC is by far the most worthless AMCC in existence.

Some of us were able to see it in AFSAS before AFSC removed it.- Opinions on C-17 v KC-10 (as well as bases?)
Not true in the MAF world. People can cross flow via a PHOENIX program.- Opinions on C-17 v KC-10 (as well as bases?)
Tankers do more than just AR. I've done HR, AE, START treaty missions, etc in the tanker (-135) and have gone to a lot more cooler places than most would think. The -10 will do more Dual Role missions due to their cargo/passenger capability.- Promotion and PRF Information
