Ha! Real cute but not seeing the correlation other than being lucky goes a long way sometimes.

No. Its a testament to the only luck they had that day.

Not seeing the equivalent. Nothing was damaged. Aircraft flew within 12 hours. Obviously they ######ed up and will reap the consequences but to equate it to severely damaging something I don't think plays out. Also, not much skill involved in getting it stopped.

Here is the PP kill job done on him https://www.google.com/url?q=https://fiswg.research.ucf.edu/Documents/PPT/F22%2520OPSEC%2520brief%2520(unclass)%2520Feb%252008%5B1%5D.ppt&sa=U&ei=C6-2T5OzC8SrgwevoYy5Cg&ved=0CCcQFjAF&usg=AFQjCNFN7HzhtwrBDG_K2BVXvWphndZhVA

Its not available until October at the earliest.

Tops in Blue don't get per diem anyway. They get a monthly allowance of $240.

I crewed jets for 10 years. I knew my place and it was to fix aircraft when broke. My only issue was when OPs made it harder on us to get things done without any reason. Being on the Ops side now, I still see the same attitude in some flyers. Regardless of my bickering, it was an awesome feat pulled off by everyone involved. I know how big of a bitch it had to be to get 69 crews lined up to fly as well as the work involved in getting 69 crew ready aircraft.

Try to keep up

Really? I'm detecting a trend as well. You'd recommend executing this feat on a Friday on the basis that it would allow you to "rage" in the bar versus midweek leaving maint some buffer so the entire squadron isn't in on the weekend fixing them for the next week?

Lighten up francis

Leaving MX 69 jets to fix over the weekend.

60's if you got the balls

Depends on the model. Semi/Burst or Semi/auto

Maint buddy said there was an "incident" yesterday on Langley again.

Heard there was another pretty significant event today at Langley?

Standard.

Okay, so it seems pretty simple to me as to how to squash this shit. Why doesn't it happen?

Can't believe you of all people just used LOL. So who signs the policy letters?

Please all you want. I've seen just as many stupid policy making 0-5's and above as I've seen E-9's doing the same. Only problem is one has actual power and the other doesn't.

Agree. Your side has the best chance against it and changing it though. Sorry, back on topic.

Sorry, have to call bullshit on this one. Its you guys (O's) that have allowed the "E-9"s to become as powerful as you think they are. It's your side of the rank chain that sets these assanine policies. The mighty E-9's just enforce them.

I was at KAF a just a few weeks ago and my 9 never had a empty mag well. Only time any of us ever got any shit was when someone got a speeding ticket and had to report to the SP's. They made us remove our mags due to us not having FP cards. Nothing ever came of it other than the verbal warning. Walked out and put it right back in. All of my advisor buddies over there have said that they can carry in ANY condition they want.

Yeah you would def see large scale rioting and murder if that were to happen...

Are you really comparing rolling an airplane with other crew members on board to these jackasses taking a stupid picture?
