But to sit there and throw spears without a solution as you look at the problem through your straw is the standard J baby copilot mentality.
And no, I will not say FP...that's gayer than a bag of dicks.
Please...like the legacy copilot "mentality" is any different.

Copy, could not hack UPT, punched out under guise of marital stress.

In the days before standardized coordinate format, I know a dude who got a silver star for gonking seconds to decimal minutes in the jet with a cheapo Casio wrist calculator
Now that's admirable.....

Would you like your Gatorade delivered from 100'?...1000'?...at night?...or during the day?...via penetration?....from an ensemble of six navs or three?...it's like a Denny's menu worth of sweet, tactical options. Purple drink available, anywhere, anytime!

You'd be surprised...I'm sure they could find all kinds of ways to kill themselves with those.
No kidding...watching those bad boys try to bring in a Cessna is a sight to behold.

Or dental school, med school, oil rig work. Jesus Christ, it's amazing how much the nav mentality abounds amongst public workers.
What are these mythical nav creatures you speak of

Sometimes I question why I'm even trying to join this service. UFB.
It's still not too late! There's the forest service, wal mart, unemployment!

Seems like there is less and less of that every day in my corner of the AF.
I could have legally & legitimately called it at least a dozen times while deployed or on an operational mission. I never have. But then there was one time I didn't. When I got home I was given a Commander directed Q3, LOA, and de-certed as an Aircraft Commander. I had what you call a paradigm shift.
What's the story, if you care to share...sounds shitty

Yeah, I guess it is pretty hard to automate draging some mangled carcass to the morgue. Definitely have to toss the fireproof gloves and the squadron dickie.
Since you referenced "God" , why don't you get down on your knees and give thanks that you weren't involved.
Easy there francis

You're inferring a lot about COMACC and his installation commanders. I'm sure that's not why they prescribe the wing patch option.
It does not transcend patches, we're all in the U.S. Air Force. It's just you feeling obviously more American than the rest of us and whining that you don't get to do what you want. You've made this issue about yourself, not patriotism.
Let your airplane, that you're inside of when you're wearing that flight suit, do the talking.
Exactly...who the cares...are we not all Americans....jesus

She was recently promoted to 4 stars and will be the next commander of the Pacific Combat Air Command. What's interesting, her career started as a ABM and never piloted an aircraft. She should be in the running in being the 1st CoSAF without being a pilot. Interesting times for the future of the AF.
Effin Christ, Kim Jong is that you bro?

Thanks for the update.

If you are an AC "working your crew like finger puppets", you obviously don't understand what a crew aircraft is all about, and god help the people who have to fly with you.
Shhhh...boogers are gathering on your whizwheel...go to work puppet

This attitude is just as bad as the "get it done or else" attitude. Maybe he wants to do the master's to further himself and his knowledge, not to check the box? I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but being an aviator is NOT that hard. I worked on a no-shit engineering master's while in Nav school, finished my PPL, and still managed to be #2 in my class. I know, I know, I'm not a pilot and being a pilot is soo much more demanding I just don't understand. No, you just don't know how to manage your time. BTW, I didn't do that master's to check the box, I did it because I wanted to.
I'm not suggesting everyone do that, and if you have a family to take care of, even less so. But I'm tired of all people saying "don't do that because you need to focus on your job, and by god, NO ONE can do all of that at once and still be good at flying an airplane!".
Isn't nav school pretty much just 20 dudes in the back of an airplane alternating between sleeping, scarfing on cheetos, and LARPing?

Maybe if the clubs had decent food and service, and were remotely fun to hang out at, then they wouldn't be in the red and the WG/CC wouldn't be trying to figure out how to keep it open.
Exactly..who bothers with these things anymore anyway

"Active duty is ridiculous" and you would go to "straight to MEO" if the instructors in your unit weren't allowed to order kid's meals at an official function at the O'club?
Can you hear yourself?
Ironically, this, to me, is what's wrong with the Air Force: Whiney, squadron-level CGOs complaining about trivial nonsense from the cheap seats. So the O'club food sucks and the kids meals are better. Quick, everyone order kids meals to prove a point. ....Touche'. Nice work. Really. That's actually pretty funny. But are you really surprised it gets axed at higher levels?
Have you ever tried to manage a base club? Ever actually been involved and seen the budget breakdown on paper? It's a huge challenge just to keep some of these clubs open. Many of them have revenues in the negative--i.e. the Wg/CC has to figure out how to PAY to keep the club open. But yet people want and need the Clubs for retirements, promotion parties & ceremonies, dining in's, reunions, etc. And many people genuinely still long for the club to be a good/fun place to hang out, like it has been at various times in the past.
Is it ever going to get better if the Officers are ordering kid's meals?
You say leadership needs to get their priorities straight. What exactly do you think a Wg/CC does on a daily basis? If you don't think he spends time handling issues with the Officer's Club on his base, you're smoking crack. If you want to only deal with flying/operational challenges, go be an OG/CC. The Wg/CC's purview is greater.....he spends a lot of time dealing with issues with the installation and it's facilities. That's his job. Is stopping a large group of Officers from making a mockery of the food at his O'club during an official function really something you'd expect him to overlook as a "waste of time?"
If this is why you're getting out of the Air Force "like a rat from a burning ship," I'd say you're the one turning minute issues into big ones and putting important issues by the wayside. Good luck in your next career, I'm sure the grass will be much greener.
Wing exec?

They do because the club doesn't charge for the venue, setup, projector/sound system checking, and tear down when everyone is inebriated. Students are free to go whereever, but paying $18/pizza when everything else is free doesn't look that bad when you explain that they will be responsible for everything for setup AND tear down at the end of the night.
Good point...makes sense.
