What's wrong with the Air Force?
I've heard this argument numerous times, especially in regard to Cyber. I work with some incredibly smart airmen who can all pass the PT test. I do not want to give up our standards to get a couple fat hackers on the team. That is what contractors are for.

History Friday
I'm not sure which topic to put this under so... I'm amazed this hasn't come up yet, but on Sep 16, the Air Force celebrated its 69th birthday. How has this not been a topic? If I was still in a bag wearing squadron, I'd already have "AF 69" patches on order and be able to retire off the profits. Since I'm in ABUs, I'll challenge someone to do me a favor. I'll take at least 2 and display them next to my 50th anniversary patches, just to throw off the SARC.

Role of the military in a Civil War?
Everyone thought sequestration would be the shit sandwich that would force a deal on the budget. Then the Dems decided shit with a heaping helping of defense cuts was ok. Don't propose something that you couldn't stand to see take effect.

Role of the military in a Civil War?
Our job is to "Support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic." That leaves a lot for interpretation.

LRS-B contract awarded
It's a typo, they left out the decimal. It's a B-2.1

B-1 leaving Al Udeid
More ramp space, less receivers.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
The AF can't afford the personnel, but I'm sure M2 would be glad to empty a magazine at a funeral. Its not a 21 gun, just one gun 30 times.

What are 'Officers Days' and their relation to orders?
The Guard gets "days" allocated to pay for training. One of the common types is Annual Training (AT) which is distributed separately for Officer and Enlisted. Therefore, you will frequently hear people refer to ATO and ATE days. Due to the continuing resolution passed by congress, the military is only funded through December 11. Units have only been given a portion of their annual training budgets. Training days for formal schools is another category. Your best bet is to work closely with the unit training manager, and do as much as possible to be ready to go on short notice. I had a 1 week heads up for Nav school and 2 weeks for Intel school. Good Luck!

AFI 36-2903 and dress/uniform regs and issues
Wear of socks on hands is not authorized in 6.4.1 or 8.8. Report to the nearest Chief for remediation.

F-16s collide at Nellis
yes they will. At a flag a couple years back, a jet pancaked between the runways and burned. It sat there for the entire flag. That's one hell of a visual reminder.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
ANG is worried. They have cyber smart LT Cols and below. There are a few o-6s that get it but almost no Generals, and little opportunity for those o-6s to move up. That is why the ANG is trying to stand up some Cyber Ops Groups. They need some Generals who get it.

Taxes, the Deficit/Debt, and the Fiscal Cliff
That analysis is clearly flawed; Texas falls into four separate regions!

Latest JQP post. AF digging deeper for bodies for deployment.
As a fellow aviator, I'm appalled. It must be tough to be you, since you are the only one working. Edit for phone-post shenanigans

That Cyber Thread
Sounds like the complaints I've heard about DISA Enterprise Email (DEE). Slow and vastly more expensive.

That Cyber Thread
In my experience, IR is ok, Bluetooth/RF mice and keyboards are not. One mouse hooked to a KVM touching several different level machines is also ok

That Cyber Thread
Dude, are you posting drunk or representing the Chinese? All your mice are belong to us.

That Cyber Thread
Huawei will be the first bidder and will probably offer to do the job below cost. They're just here to help.

AFPAK Hands
Sounds like a great ANG recruiting initiative.

More SARC briefings soon.
Don't forget SARC is all aspect, BVR and has a very high career Pk. See and avoid is ineffective.

Bentleys for Bombing
