Leadership at the 'Deid
I am at one of said "more austere" locales (well, more austere than the Deid...which is anywhere) and it is certainly not REMF free. REMF's/shoe clerks/whatever you want to call these douchebags can be found anywhere.

Leadership at the 'Deid
I agree 100%. I'm not sure what the age/rank of the dude on the treadmill was, but that is definitely f#cked up for someone to do that.

SOS/ACSC information
Pass/fail. All they see is a "P" for your test score. And yes, the gouge is good enough.

Leadership at the 'Deid
I noticed the same thing when I went through there...granted I was only there for a couple days. At least they have real beer and not near-beers (which are really cans of empty promises). I did hear a story about some shoe at the gym from a reliable source. Someone was running on the tread mill and :gasp: their gym shirt came untucked. Said shoe went up and hit the emergency stop button and proceeded to berate the dude for having an untucked gym shirt. Un-######!ing believable.

I Hate Reflective Belts
Hilarious! If you're too f'ing stupid to not look both ways before crossing a street and need to depend on relectivity to save you, then you do not deserve to live.

Is everything a "Weapons System?"
Leadership in the USAF commonly misuses terms. The one that comes to mind as being most misused (aside from "warrior) is "wingman". Everytime I hear something like "be a good wingman!" on AFN or about a "wingman day!" I throw up a little bit in my mouth. 99% of people in the USAF have no clue what it means to be a wingman but pretend like they do.... As far as "weapons system", your platform either employs weapons (hence weapons system) or it does not. I understand how certain platforms can be thought of as a strategic weapon, but give me a break.

Leadership at the 'Deid
It seems that the nonsense of the 'Deid has spread to other bases in the AOR. A couple days ago they started posting reflecto-belt Nazi's outside of the chow hall here...

Good deals---only for shoes?
FWIW there are some legit schools out there with good distance learning programs (read: not TUI or Embry Ridiculous). I'm in the same situation as you and agree reading 3-1 is more important than any of this shoe clerk shit. If you or anyone else here needs the gouge for the new SOS course, send me a message and I'll hook you up. I studied probably less than 2 hours/test and have my BVR SOS certificate on the fridge back at home.

Squadron Bars
Shack. Shoe Clerk influence in the USAF has gotten to the point of full-retard (referrence the leadership at the 'Deid thread). I once got yelled at by some douchebag REMF for wearing a Friday nametag outside the squadron on a Friday. WTFO? When bullsh!t like getting BVR SOS done, your Master's, etc is more important than reading 3-1, leadership has failed. USAF mission focus, it seems, has gone out the f!ckin' window. Whatever happened to blowing shit up and killing people? Now we are a branch of cyber and space "warriors", whatever the f!ck that is. I digress. To answer the original question: fear not, the squadron bar/traditions are still strong.

Salutes for Spouses?
Wives with that sort of mindset need to be kicked in the baby maker. Just sayin'.
-
Checkride/mission superstitions or rituals?
I listen to Metallica on the ride to the squadron and I take a big sh!t before I fly. I do this everytime I fly.

Blues on Monday
Sorry I was staring at your avatar....what was your question?

Blues on Monday
Why are the skycops exempt? Police officers wear the equivilent of blues as their duty uniform, why not the skycops?
-
Blues on Monday
So he wanted to instill this "war fighting ethos" by having people wear a uniform we don't wear to war? Interesting.

Blues on Monday
It's really a matter that you people look like fags wearing flight suits when you don't fly. Noone gives a sh!t whether you wanted to be a pilot or not. If you earned wings (sorry, those star trek wings don't count), you get to wear a flightsuit. If you didn't earn wings you shouldn't get to wear a flight suit.

Fighter Aircrew Conditioning Test (FACT) info
The FACT does not weed people out, it's really not that big a deal. Back in the day when I was in IFF a dude hooked the FACT test...wasn't a big deal. Just go to the gym like you should be doing anwyas and you will be fine. I'd be more worried about how well you can fly if you want fighters vice the FACT. You shouldn't have issues maxing it out unless you're in bad shape. I think the FACT is kinda myself. Arm curls and chest presses don't do shit for pulling G's in a fighter. It's all about leg and ab strength.

haha. I meant their jacket, but either way works.

Traveling pet peeves!
Here are my ramblings: -Why can't I listen to my Ipod until the flight attendant says I can? Will the airplane's navigation/communication capabilities shit the bed? I think not. Just aggravates me. -What really annoys me is the fact that I cannot be on a flight where a screaming little shit isn't sitting behind me! Parents of such screaming little shits: if you must fly please do everyone a favor and place duct tape over their mouths. -Next: fat people need to buy 2 seats. I remember a while ago some airlines did this, not sure if they still do, but I've been on many airplanes where the fat of the bitch next to me is spilling into my seat. -I also think that their should be a "you need to be taller than x" to qualify for an exit row seat. Pisses me off to have my knees in my chest (Im 6'4") and see some midget in an exit row seat. -If I have to be briefed about how to buckle a seatbelt I'm going to just shoot myself. - "In the event of a water landing" WTF is that supposed to mean? More like: hey listen up, if we crash into the ocean and you still happen to be alive, you may use your seat as a flotation device. -Lastly: People who put shit in the overnugget containers that could easily fit under their seat like a jacket or something stupid like that. Makes me want to just throw them on the floor.

Cyber Wings
YGBSM. . I swear, missile dudes are a bunch of weird motherf!ckers. Look, we have wings too and wear flight suits.
