    Was there when he actively refused to do a defensive maneuver on his checkride because...expendables...and subsequently attempted to restrict all LRF ops to 30 degrees AoB.  Good thing he only topped out at GO.  

    He never made it to GO, speculation about the JQP article of him firing five Sq/CC’s in a year. The current Dyess -130 Wing King is a buddy of mine and took over the 41st when he fired the previous Sq/CC. He’s an avid Rat hater.

    Really? I was a planner when he was the EARS/CC in an undisclosed location in SW Asia and thought he was pretty decent...although that was many moons ago and my homestation sq/cc was a douche canoe, so my comparative lens may have been rose colored.

    He was my ex-wife’s Tweet Flt/CC at XL years ago. I flew with him at Fairchild years later when he was the Wing Exec/Patch and he turned around while we were flying and told me how terrible she was in UPT. I told him she was “terrible” enough to fly slick -130s flying LL, assaults, etc., while he flew a jet built when Eisenhower was POTUS in an anchor. He’s no Rat, but he’s the typical MAF douche.

    I couldn't imagine giving a guard unit 8 days a month. That's a literal part time job at that point. But this sounds very much like a negative experience I had talking with a KC-135 unit that wanted all of their DSG's to live within 50nm of the base so they could be called in as DNIF coverage during the week.......

    Washington ANG requires flyers to live within two hours of Fairchild. Non-flyers can live where they want.

    I actually really enjoy telling my civilian friends about the GTC because the idea of it is so insane to them. 
     

    "wait so you mean like a company card.. right?"

    "wrong.. imagine if your company opened a credit card in your name, but if you use it for the wrong thing you get in massive trouble, and if your expense reports get delayed at all it dings your credit"

    *insert civilian friend what the fuck face here*

    My company mandated employees that go TDY get the company AMEX on our name. There’s trouble also if one was to misuse it (fired, possibly sued).

    Quite ironic when most studs out of UPT in the bottom of their class got "stuck" with the -135. All of a sudden, with a new airplane that is much easier to fly, we need the "cream of the crop"...

    AMC only picks the best for the KC-46. That's the previous Sq/CC as the PF.

    “Crew servicing/forklift training”:  You pilots have gotta learn how to load those 100 UAVs on the tanker. We’ll be developing a technique whereby we depressurize and open the cargo bay in flight so we can deploy the things over the battlefield. You will then enter an orbit pattern over enemy forces, open the cockpit window, and “empty the clip” of your M9 into the heads of our enemies.  We are calling this concept “gunship lite”. Oh and one more thing men; you will be doing all of this single pilot. Any questions? No? Good. Now, move out, we’re going to war boys! 

    Just like booms have no business critiquing flying, pilots have no business loading cargo. They can barely load crew bags without moderately fucking it up.
