Yeah, but Cheerios are FDA approved…

She was terrible as a -135 Boom. Not shocked.

Hey homie, I received a General Discharge and kept my G.I. Bill. The VA does their own credible service determination when you have multiple enlistments. I’m glad you know how to Google.

I don’t know how it works for officers but if enlisted are not within their first enlistment, they’ll retain their G.I. Bill.

Honorable = Normal General Under Honorable Conditions = You had honorable service, but you fucked up in a severe way (e.g., guilty at a courts martial with no punitive discharge given). Other Than Honorable Discharge = Normally only given at a administrative discharge board where discharge is given, which for officers is known as a Board of Inquiry. Dismissal (officer version of a dishonorable) = Only given at a General Court Martial Note: Officers don’t receive Bad Conduct Discharges. For VA benefit purposes, the entire period of service is determined by the VA. For example, I got court martialed in 2017. My enlistment during that court martial started in 2013. I joined in 2001 and had multiple enlistments before then of “honorable” service before 2013. The VA gave me all benefits because of my multiple honorable enlistments due to my General Under Honorable discharge. I don’t know how they would do that with officers with periods of ADSCs? The only show stopper with VA benefits is getting a dismissal, which would prevent you from getting any VA benefits. The VA does their own determination of character of service if you were to get a General Under Honorable or in some extreme cases, an Other Than Honorable discharge. Two boom operator Chief friends of mine are retiring in the next few months and they got Art 15s as TSgts. My brother has one as well and he made TSgt pretty early. As an officer if they don’t kick you out after one, you’re probably not going to go anywhere, career wise, and they’re just waiting for you to separate on your own.

Whoops https://www.ellsworth.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2855647/ellsworth-command-chief-removed/fbclid/IwAR3FpIt4UTGLo-dbCXsUcoUE-diWvNK_mLuPj1WPZ4gu8YSLu6m8LwDE3uM/

I’m actually more concerned that tax payers paid for him, via AFIT, to go get a MA in Political Science at ASU.

Oh I know, but making it difficult for them makes me happy. One of the biggest assholes I knew in the -135 community made it to FedEx, even tried to run for a union rep, but wasn’t voted in due to his USAF reputation.

He is the epitome of shit leadership in AMC, but never worry, he’ll be a Wing King somewhere. Thankfully, and hopefully, he’ll be blacklisted in the airline/defense industry. I’m sure he’ll open his own “consulting firm” post-retirement.

It’s for those in the MAF who either didn’t get what they wanted out of UPT to go to their first assignment allowing them to “right a wrong” or by wanting to get promoted into leadership and not by flying skill. This is done by: 1. Not be a good pilot. 2. Become an exec. 3. Fly less as a lackluster pilot. 4. Solely upgrade because they’re the Sq/CC’s “HPO.” 5. Cross flow into another MAF aircraft where they won’t fly much because now they’re usually an ADO and solely upgrade for their career progression, not their skill. Here’s an example of a douchebag Phoenix program product. https://www.afcent.af.mil/Units/379th-Air-Expeditionary-Wing/Biographies/Article/2274232/colonel-jeremy-e-williams/ Terrible program that promotes terrible aviators into leadership positions.

Either get a degree + OTS for a rated slot or become a Career Enlisted Aviator.

Never heard of AMC, huh?

I got demoted to E-5 from E-7 (KC-135 Boom) and my counterpart at work is a retired O-6 (KC-135/C-5 Pilot) . Our boss is a retired E-8 (C-5 FE). We all work great together. Thankfully, from what I've seen with retired O-6/E-9s who are douches eat some humble pie when they realize no one has to listen, or put up, with their bullshit post-military. YMMV

They found him and he’s in custody.

Retired A-10 pilot Lt Col Mark "Thor" Olson died in a crash helping to fight a fire near Estes Park, Colorado. Him Him https://kdvr.com/news/local/air-tanker-pilot-who-died-in-plane-crash-fighting-kruger-rock-fire-identified/?fbclid=IwAR1Xb3z8zdXqOz8D2kiQrRjbQulcFvJ8nhNlDOoDRqb2Q6-OBGk3GpeokQw

Which is funny to me since 30 and 50 flap landings were the norm until about 2010. Having someone do a 40 flap landing before then would elicit a weird look.

Another charge he should get is paying for that haircut.

You don’t think losing your job is a punishment?

He probably could've just taken one off the next -10 who's headed to the boneyard.

Apparently, the investigation substantiated that is is his fault.
