Dude, you are looking way too hard at the Chief....are you thinking about taking one for the team?

I normally don't LOL, but I LOLd....I was thinking the same thing before I read your post!

...Don't be silly....Polar bears don't know how to use lasers. They don't even have thumbs focker!

Just bring in something that eats hyenas... ..or better yet, bring in polar bears...they are used to the cold.

$50?!? Is that all they're charging these days?

That's just a cruel f*cking joke to play on someone....damn you technology! I'm scared to go to whorehouses in Asia now....ok, no I'm not!

This is just the Air Force Times trying to sell papers....there is no pilot shortage. The Air Force has this under control....

Don't be silly...you can't drive a truck on the sun... That is pretty cool though.

...and the hits just keep on coming.

DP non-selects are an anomaly...they happen, but they are not common among records without blemishes. That is why I was saying there has to be more to these records. Do promotion records speak for themselves? Not necessarily. Thats why I said they should. Strong records don't need the DP push...if it is well written, the dudes will get promoted. Weak DP records do stand out though. It is obvious to the board if a DP was given to mask a weak record, but the rater wouldn't (shouldn't) use a DP on a dude they really didn't think should get promoted. It should be used as an indication to the board that while this guy's record seems weak, I as the senior rater think he has the potential to be promoted even without an AAD. I dont know if that was the case here. Otherwise, it appears the board used AAD as a discriminator and disregarded the DP (more likely) but you'll never get anyone to admit it. I'm guessing they took all the DP records without AADs and put them up against P records with AADs that were about equal and then used the AAD as a discriminator without regard to the DP. Fair? Maybe...but that's why I ask why use P and DP? Obviously AAD holds more weight between similar records. We already know the Air Force has a hard time telling people they suck, so they put it in 'code' in someone's promotion record. Remember, we are the 'feel good' force...everyone is a winner when it comes to face to face feedback.

Yeah, I've seen that before too and I don't support the practice. I also don't think that practice is used that often either. I've always wondered why boards always think they need to decode someone's promotion record. Unless they've talked directly to the senior rater about a specific record, stop trying to read between the lines. If it says DP, the rater highly recommends promotion even without an AAD. On the surface, this looks more like the discriminator was AAD between closely matched P and DP records....makes you wonder why we even have P and DPs. The records should speak for themselves....and it appears they did in these cases.

Interesting statistics. Someone really has a hard-on for academic degrees....they really must think it makes a better leader than someone who got a commander's direct recommendation with a DP. I really hope there is more to it than just that. At least tell me their PRFs were poorly written. I really don't get it...I just don't see the correlation between AADs and leadership...especially at that level.

I see a potentially bad thing happening here with all the annoying policies going away. If things go back to normal and no one is getting chiefed anymore, what the hell are we going to bitch about on this forum? Can we at least make a pact that even without the bitching, the policies, the chiefing to bitch about, that we still post pictures of boobies to make us feel better???

Wow, I was just joking with that post but it looks like there are FACs who actually pay attention to what people are wearing and won't let them test? Really? As hard as it is to schedule a test sometimes, I just can't imagine people getting turned away for socks....socks. I guess nothing really surprises me anymore...

According to AFI 36-6901 (PT reg) you are required to not only wear the PT uniform during your test, but it must be worn properly...your PT test has been invalidated and we will record a failing score in your records.... A letter will be sent to your commander. Please notify you UFM to reschedule your test.

You write that as if it is a bad thing. Yes...boobies make me feel better. If you can't appreciate that, no one can help you. You do get my vote for quote of the month though.... Now, where are more of those boobie pics.....

I call BS on the inflated GPAs...either that or she never wrote a paper in college.

I'm glad some "senior leadership" reads these threads. Hopefully some of it gets through. As for the Chief...he/she has answered their own question if they are sincere in their assessment. All I ask from my "leadership" is honest feedback. Don't feed us bullshit if you don't really mean it. Just like it is obvious when an airman looks away to avoid saluting a staff car, it is obvious when we are being fed insincere bullshit. Don't ask a question like this: ...and then follow up with this: If you really believe we perform our jobs flawlessly every day, then you shouldn't have to wonder if the guy with his shirt untucked or socks not high enough is performing his primary duty correctly. Stop making excuses for the reasons you continue to focus on queep when they obviously don't matter if we are performing our jobs "flawlessly." Or maybe you don't really believe that...if not, be honest with your assessment and feedback. Leadership starts with your credibility and honesty. You help no one by telling everyone they are a winner....

Screw Tebows games...I thought this thread was about the hot chicks Tebow isn't boning.....

I guess my imagination isnt that great... ...he had to have put it there before he even started driving...what was he going to do if he had to use it?? The article also said the gun had to be test fired....imagine being the guy who had to fire it!

Oh great, good luck to the first IP to give that guy a taco on a daily ride. That kid just secured himself unlimited 89s (assuming he can't fly worth sh*t). Standing by for the GO public apology letter and F-22 backseat incentive ride (I know there is no back seat...effect only)

We fixed the Tebow hate thread by turning it into a boobfest....perhaps a nice set of boobs will make up for this one?? The dude had to be just joking around...no one would write a serious bio like that.

Find out if she's hot....

A solid 30mph...impressive. He does not have the need...the need for speed! And he's obviously talking about Del Rio except they don't go 30 in that town...it is a sold 25mph I see this thread going places....
