Now I'm just a half-retarded ROTC cadet who is no more knowledgeable of the inner workings of the Air Force than your average 1st grader, but would this be a situation to fix on a very small level what is wrong with the Air Force now? If every time some shoe clerk CMSgt or SMSgt or any lower ranking shoe pulled some shit on a higher ranking officer, and the higher ranking officer stood up to them (still knowing their balls could very well end up in a vice for it) and gave them a quick "I out rank you, obviously I have a reason for the caps, or I wouldn't be f'n wearing them, if you have further questions I would be happy to tell you plenty more about how f'd up the regs are at XYZ base." (or something at all), would we start seeing a change? Is it possible the higher ups are so inundated with BS that some regs honestly make it by without their knowledge of the true effects? (that's just the youngness in me wanting to see good in people) Maybe if more and more officers stood against the flow of BS, we would see changes?
Disclaimer (longer than most drug ad disclaimers): Please do not use this as a chance to sling Poo. Yes, I am not commissioned, No, I do not (obviously) have wings. Should I STFU and color? Probably. We have already covered the fact that I'm a retarded ROTC cadet, so please don't bring it back up. This is an honest question, & I'm not trying to call anyone (esp. Bergman) out on anything, but really just trying to figure stuff out. Seriously, I to each of you who do what I dream of, and I'm sure it's just because I haven't done the work necessary to get to your point that I don't understand why you wouldn't be willing to lay it on the line to fix your Air Force. I also understand this is a possible thread hijack, and I'm ready for it to be deleted or moved by the mighty moderator Gods. Again, please don't sling poo, honest answers appreciated.
