Yeah, that seems like a good use of time and government resources.

Take the hint and stop posting.

FIFY, dude.

That works fine until the shooting starts and your "lowest cost" fighters aren't worth a damn. I'm not disagreeing with you, but just be aware of the other side of that coin. No one besides A1 should care about "Ops Squadron Throughput." The main focus should be MOTHERFUCKING COMBAT CAPABILITY. In short, I'm sick of hearing about how ops squadrons are simply a means to an end. Your average AFPC functional doesn't know shit about what makes a fighter squadron effective, and he simply does not care to learn.

Let's not forget that ops squadrons aren't just a "place to stash pilots." AFPC seems to think that the iron on the ramp is only there to create experienced 11Fs that can fill their precious staff billets. Nevermind the fact that we might actually have to tussle with a near-peer adversary, right? Land wars in Asia never happen, right? Meh...I'm sure the boys down at A1 have it all figured-out.

I believe you are referring to Armpit April. Ugh.

Keeping it classy, eh guys?

Your first thought is that it's a guy? Whatever primes your pump, dude.

Why would I EVER EVER poison someone who wanted to give me mouth hugs???

As an LT, remember: It's always better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.

The AFCENT spokesman is Maj Faggard? High school must have been rough on that guy.

RIF certain flavors of 11X, yet offer bonuses to other flavors?

^ Great post, Bendy.

Wait...you fly eagles? I thought you were a herk driver.

It's encouraging to see senior leaders who read Tony Carr. I hope you're not the only one, Liquid.

Shack.

Aw yiss...that's one more F-35, boys! Let's go find us some more purses to squeeze so we can get ourselves a 4-ship! Yee HAW!

Write it in crayon, using small monosyllabic words so A1 can comprehend.

+1 meaningless imaginary internet point to you, sir, for actually making me LOL with that little gem.

That fruit of an "adult" in the toddler pajamas totally has the "$200K in college debt for his useless art history degree" look and "I live at home w/my parents and listen to bands you've probably never heard of" look just written all over him. I don't know him, but I want to punch him in his hipster fucking face. Does that make me a bad person?

FIFY.

M A R S Mars, bitches. We're there.

Wait...the CGOC isn't a union?

November 2014 I'm voting against every single incumbent. 33 Senators and 435 Representatives will be up for re-election, and the American public needs to un-sheep themselves and send a message. “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation." - President George Washington It disgusts me to see our Congress failing to lead by example. Austerity regarding their own benefits and salaries, regardless of how minor the effect would be on the overall fiscal picture, would at least be a start. This Congress continues to ask for more austerity from its citizens without accepting or sharing any of that burden itself. I'm beginning to wonder who works for who.
