Ah, there it is. I feel like we just got to the “that’s it!” point in a naming. Deadbolts and magnetic signs.

I’ve definitely seen it on deployments as well. Room full of fat base ops airmen distracted by morale drive movies that would only help us when directly and loudly engaged. Compare that with the Marines manning Kadena base ops that snapped to attention and almost seemed embarrassed that they didn’t have enough to do. There are two different Air Force cultures; we have too many of one and not enough of the other.

Lol, ok that makes sense why the Weapons School turned a broom closet into.a breast feeding room.

Really the best practice here is to get into a public emotional shouting match with said MSgt. Ask the bystanders for real time feedback on who’s winning.

“Here, we got your jewelry back. Only had to kill the robbers and two bystanders to do it!”

All a very interesting debate. Answers should only come from realistic problems. What’s the likelihood that a particular system or procedure will fail you in a current war? What’s the likelihood in a future war? If said system fails (or is denied), will it raise your risk a notch during certain phases? Maybe that’s acceptable and not worth the training costs to mitigate it. However, if a targeted attack on your Achilles Heel isn’t likely but would result in a F-Kill for your entire MWS, then it’s probably still worth it to train to it.

I didn’t apply for school, but if I did it would’ve been to one of those foreign ACSC deals as a backup to what I primarily want to do. I would’ve appreciated the ability to say “no thanks.”

Referring to the dudes that are actively trying to rework your syllabus as “Bobs” is a little disparaging.

Dude, don’t give that guy’s opinion an ounce of credibility.

What’s the draw for you guys to do ISTs to the AF?

If I ever have to be the IO that writes a 150 page report on why some BGen extended her TDYs by a day to attend retirement ceremonies costing the Gov a whopping $690 per occurrence, I’m doing whatever I can to eject from the AF. The amount of effort that went into that exhaustive investigation boggles my mind. There are so many real tactical problems out there to be solved, and so many $billions wasted on bad acquisitions, and some poor guy devotes all his waking hours to this.

Another pilot dying early from a rare cancer.

Well that’s a surprising outcome from a “tribunal”.

Do you have any pictures of those?

SNCO pilots would be able to “only fly planes” just like like SNCO maintainers get to “only fix planes”.

No one is getting RIF’d anymore. Fly as much as you like, excel in your primary duty, get promoted if you stay in. Virtually automatic to Major. Also, it’s not like career enlisted dudes are immune from staff jobs.

Not enough. Across both types, they can do SAR, MTI, and SIGINT, all of which are very underutilized. Tactics isn’t just threat reactions.

Lol, not at all. Any enlisted guys that want to be enlisted Global Hawk pilots, listen up. You’ll need a bachelors to be competitive in the selection process, so get that. Then, instead of applying for enlisted pilot, apply for OTS instead as a 11X, 12X, or 18X. Then you can go be a Global Hawk pilot for 2x the money. Or you can even fly something else if you want.

To many enlisted dudes, sending their best qualified guys over to the officers’ team would be akin to a Democrat going to work for a Republican. They identify more with being enlisted than they do about being individuals with upward mobility.

Regarding Tricare for life, I’ve heard from more than a few pilot and non-pilot retirees that it was a huge reason for staying in, or in one case, returning to active duty to get healthcare covered for a child with an extremely rare disease. What are you airline guys paying for health insurance? Based on what I can figure, it’s around $1k/month with a max out of pocket of $6-12k depending on the plan.

...I’ll bet you $50 that Zandvoort is on the calendar within a year. This is going to blow. A race in Florida suburbs next to a Walmart and CVS. South Beach or nothing!

There are dozens of us! But if you’re looking for a sport with no political sellouts, F1 ain’t it. The NBA is getting a lot of shit these days for defending the Chinese government over the HK protestors, while F1 has been making deals with sketchy governments for 50 years. Apartheid South Africa, Communist Hungary, China, Russia, Bahrain, etc.

DIME model is still valid.
