My prediction of who Senior Chang really is: O-4, Personnel/Aquisitions/Cyber AFSC, school select who hasn't attended school yet i.e. already has ticket punched b/c he's been donkey-punching peers along the way. I bet he doesn't even work at HAF...probably more like AF Space Command A1 who gets the ppt slides from his bro network (dorks) at AF/A1.

Concur. That was a serious case of Jekyll/Hyde.

I especially appreciate his parting thought: "While instructing airmen on how to be successful careerists manifests a kind of loyalty, it’s a betrayal of the service, which needs its leaders to keep airmen focused on the mission first and themselves later, after they’ve established a professional foundation upon which they can stand firmly and build themselves into capable career airmen."

If I were going to macdill for a 180 I'd recommend staying in Hyde park, south Howard, or downtown Tampa...all about a 15 minute drive to the gate. St Pete is nice too but you have to deal with the bridge traffic everyday. Regardless, it's a great area there.

You are one bad dude.

Maybe if you stopped paying online gaming fees for Elf Quest you'd have the coin to buy a real watch.

Wow, I hope you put this much attention to detail into mission planning!

#8. Feel sorry for yourself and contribute nothing to yourself or your squadron mates...basically be a limp dick officer and sh!t on everyone/thing.

Just finished The Hunters as well. It's not a fast-paced book (but it's a quick read...does that make sense?), but it gives a good account of Mig killers during the Korean War.

Surprised he made Lt Col since it took him forever to get his masters

Perfect example of ###### leadership. THE CSAF SAID NO BLUES! How hard is it to fall in line!

Bill Clinton, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, Charlie Sheen, and now David Petraeus. Sad day for America...again.

Close call...

Whatev. If you were so "scared for your life", then why did you continue to go on ride alongs?

At the very least the new support staff should take over RA duties, DTS auth/approvals, and in/out processing, along with OPR/EPR routing.

SOS in-res COMBINED WITH corresp is deemed so useful, that most colleges will just hand you a Masters. However, to answer your question about just going in-res...I think you only get like 15-18 credits from most schools.

Or they should have put the RPA locations at Charleston, MacDill, etc...i.e. anywhere other than the armpits of the AF like Clovis, Creech, Alamogordo. So, although they might have to stay in the RPA community, they have a decent locale to chill off-duty.

A lot of folks don't have the balls to do just that...follow their dreams. Big ups to those 2 guys.

Nope, he's a cargo pilot now. Too many box-nasty's.

Sweet, I'll use it as a Blackberry holster.

Yeah, the Fresno guys are all over it.

Sounds like a good country song.

No kidding, yesterday my uncle responded to a post on his local newspaper's web site, saying, "I think the real heroes are the troops that are killed or wounded. Like the old adage, 'all gave some...some gave all'." So I responded to his dumb response, w/my response and a link to this story.

Frankly, I'm surprised you got a school slot...good on ya. If you think he's a good guy/leader and you have respect for him, do you think he's saying "get your Masters" b/c he wants people like you to be promoted up the chain? He prob knows that w/o a Masters, you're limiting your career and future potential leadership at the Gp/Wg lvl. On the flip side, it would have been great for him to say, "Don't worry about your Masters...you'll get it from IDE. When you become a Sq/CC I want you to push/promote people based on their leadership and not a Touro/Embry Ridiculous degree."

Yep, you can't detect sarcasm if it stamped a mushroom on your forehead.
