Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
"TIB is going to be on base. Use your off-duty time to enjoy what the Air Force has to offer! Everyone come & bring your family/friends!" What? no sts? Meh, it's Sheppard. Not much else to do "Make sure to wear ABUs" let me get this straight, I have to wear a uniform in my off-duty time? A uniform I don't own? "Oh. You can also wear a flightsuit" Right, but I don't have to go to the club in uniform if I don't want to, but THIS is mandatory? Screw that.

Boy didn't steal plane...
If we'd just fingerprinted the owner of the plane and forced them to register the plane with the government, we wouldn't be facing this tragedy...

Didn't see this one until now, so THREAD REVIVAL!!! The CE mission in the AF is completely lost. The reason we are spending so many man hours is that the Army's Corps of Civil Engineers is overworked/grossly understaffed for their mission set, but the Army doesn't fix the problem because they can always rely on the good ol' AF to fill their shortfalls. I'm all for the one-team, one-fight mentality (wait...does that mean we're fighting amongst ourselves?), but that's when we're all trying to work together. In this case, the Army Staff has decided that they won't do their job because the AF will do it for them. As such, we've lost more AF CE troops than aircrew in these wars (at last count, I heard it was a ~3:1 ratio). My brother was a CE officer and got out because he was tired of non-vol 364s (can't even get a little ribbon...) to the kitty litter with less than 6 months at home to support the Army. Virtually every CE CGO is in this mess. Imagine if every aircrew was deployed to fulfill a "aircrew liaison" position in the Army every other year because their aviation folks are too busy. Do you think the AF aircrew would stand for it? Frog is spot on in his assessment that CE's priorities are screwed.- C-17 Pilot Charged in Training Jump Death

Standard. Give them 6-9 weeks to form a committee that will make a recommendation to form an approval committee to release a recommendation to the AETC/CC in 6-9 months...it will sit in his exec's inbox for an additional 6-9 weeks and be denied due to improper memo formatting...- Top Gun II Trailer
