  1. Steve,

    Did you attempt to contact Doc’s immediate family prior to releasing the video? At least an attempt to find out if they had been informed by the Air Force of his acute cause of death?  

    I could not imagine being his family if you did not, and having a youtube video be the way that I find out the details of how my spouse/dad/uncle died.  I hope you took that into consideration.

    Other operational details regarding supposed unit status in the video- I don’t agree with what you did, but you’re a journalist. You do you.  

     

  2. Very low- as in only hiring current, qualified guys from Hurlburt right now. At least that was the case previously when I last looked into it within last 6-9 months and that was the case for all aircrew positions.  Might change in future now that they are a squadron versus a detachment but can’t say for certain.  There are a lot of AGR positions being posted and all call for current/qualified.

  3. I’ll do the gray head thing.......quit yer whining.

    Seriously, not trying to be a dick. There are a LOT of people in this country who have lost their jobs, their families are suffering, etc. You have a great paying job that may not be something you enjoy, but that’s why they call it work and not “super fun koombayah hang with the bros all day time.”. So suck it up, pick yourself up by yer britches, get to work, and do two things:

    1. Excel at the career you are in. You never know if something will happen that will preclude you from being able to fly, and suddenly that job you hate might be the one thing that saves you from the unemployment line.

    2. Work on the things that you need to in order to get the job you want like flying more, volunteering, studying for AFOQT if you need to retake, etc. WHILE EXCELLING IN THE JOB YOU’RE IN.

  4. Pump the brakes there, turbo. Refer to page 1 of this thread where further explanation/context of the situation was requested. As yet, none has been given. Kinda difficult to successfully armchair quarterback a situation via the Internet when you weren’t there, even if you used to be a NCO.  But hey, I’m just a dumbshit Guard guy and business owner. If that’s how you wish to lead, press. Good luck.

    The chances the camera was there during the sequence of events you explained makes it iffy.  For those who don’t know, open source.

    Star Wars canyon is a popular spot for photogs to hike up and sit nearly every day of the week, oftentimes with only the hope of seeing something fly thru. Don’t underestimate the power of the aviation fanboy.
