Marine Fighter Squadron Told To Nix Crusader Patch/Emblem
Same douchebag that challenged the 523 FS at Cannon. https://www.afhra.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=11426 https://ascream.blogtownhall.com/?tag=MRFF

AFRC Force structure changes...
Why do you have such a hard on for this Ft Smith case? I am not and was not arguing the Ft Smith case exclusively. The Ft Smith deal was fucked up. That is a fact. They literally bought themselves a few more years. I am simply saying that this is far from over as the politicians have not had their say in it yet and the list will probably change.

Actually, in some instances it did work. There were numerous examples of Guard units that were set to close as a result of BRAC 2005 that did not close. Fort Smith, Nashville and Reno are a few examples. Fort Smith actually grew in size. Point is, the list of proposed changes are not final. The list will change once the politicians get involved.

C-130 AMP (Avionics Modernization Program)
Everything I have read and heard says it is done. We will see what Congress says though. Our 4 AMPd airplanes are currently in a flyable storage status. They havent flown in a couple weeks.

AFRC downsizing
Maybe that it how they plan on filling the jobs at the new reserve squadron that is standing up at Little Rock.

Stolen Valor Question
The more I look at that pic, it is very clear that those are some sort of AF wings. This guys is a fraud. I'm with CH, release the Hounds!

Stolen Valor Question
The dude in question is wearing wings with a wreath around a star. I'm pretty sure the Marines dont have a star or wreath above jump wings to signify experience or a certain amount of jumps. I could be wrong though.

Viper incident at Oshkosh.
Looks to me like it may have been a formation landing judging by the other viper in the background.

Punch at 13 years?
Good ole Scoobs. It is hard to believe you have been around here since 2004! Good on ya. You actually didnt have "one last question". You had two. The answer to your first question depends on the 1000 variables that make up someone's personal situation. The answer to your second question is about the same. Guard/Reserve squadrons have hired people with over 15 years before and some will in the future. Again, it depends on about a 1000 variables that the squadron takes into account. Everybody's situation is different.

Reconstitution Questions
Does the AF only use time in the AOR to determine the amount of reconstitution leave or do they use all time spent away from your home of record? I am deployed as guest help with another unit. I will have over 90 days deployed and will get another week of reconstitution if they consider time spent at the other unit (which is out of my State) as well as travel time getting to the AOR and back. Our Log Plans guy back home is telling me that they only use time in the AOR to calculate the leave while the unit I am with says they count all time away from home. Which is it and can someone point me to a specific reg?

I Hate Reflective Belts
Hell yeah I was being serious. I want to be so bright and reflective that bus drivers, the enemy, chiefs or a fucking satellite can see me. Day or night. Isnt that the only way to stay safe?

Anybody else notice those sweet lightsuits the dancers had on in yesterdays Super Bowl halftime show? I bet those are a required deployment item within 5 years.

https://airforcemedicine.afms.mil/sg_newswire/apr_04/LeadStoryAPRIL.htm "During vehicle maneuvers in the midst of the firefight, Parsons' elbow was dislocated and he sustained bruises to his ribs and hip." There is the purple heart and bronze star with valor.

I printed a copy of the letter written by the E-9 for our section. It is now properly displayed under the glass of the biggest table in our section. It is there to remind us of how rediculous this so called leadership has become in todays Air Force. Hopefully this letter will serve as a reminder of how not to treat your people.

I Hate Reflective Belts
and then I simple say "I am not sure if you are really an Airmen if you do not know how to wear your uniform properly." Now they are bragging about treating people like fucking children. Could this douchebag be any more condescending? This is why the average hard working dude in the AF hates the current leadership errrr people in charge.

Infuckingcredible. There is a huge difference in a chief and a E-9. Welcome to the party E-9 whoever you are.

Is that why every active duty person here at Little Rock is wearing reflective belts?
