What @$$ clowns down votes a kid asking questions? BODN didn't used to be this way. This is why it has fallen off the pilot map and become almost irrelevant. This place used to play a solid role. Now you have old guys just pissing on wannabe studs or the newbies.

How can you say not much is being done? They started a facebook page...
My boy was a functional at AFPC. He got fired after he didn't create a FB page. I was telling him I received a notification about the FB page my functional created. Definitely caused a flashback for him....

I actually really like that idea as well. Can we get General Chang as a guest AMA?
Maybe a Q&A on bullets and push lines from someone who has sat on a board. We need a section dedicated to it. Where solid information doesn't get lost in all the comments because they aren't allowed. Also, you must be a member for x number of months to unlock access.

In general, I would agree, but sometimes you don’t have the luxury of passing it off to someone else, especially if your leadership has decided the task is yours alone to complete.
The most difficult cases I’ve had usually fell in one of two categories: 1) the request is made laterally to someone of equal rank/position, or 2) it’s made to an outside agency...sometimes a combination of the two.
Both require people skills to get your desired outcome. Dale Carnegie’s “How to Make Friends and Influence People” is a great generic guide to both. Finding a way to “sell” your request as being mutually beneficial, or even just beneficial to the person you’re dealing with, is an art form, but yields great results.
It’s amazing how far people will go to help you if they actually like you - even mediocre performers.Kill them with kindness. Just counseled a SNCO picked up for OTS. She got into it with a SFS NCO at the visitor center. An A1C had to break them up. I told the SNCO, how would you like working a shift having to deal with parents, trainees, enlisted, and officers for 12 hours? Put yourself in their shoes. Even if the other person was in the wrong, walk away. Don't let the situation escalate. They detained her butt.
My boss told me the Gp/CC wants to be told about things in the blotter like this scenario. I was like WTF? Dude is a micromanager. Got it.

If your first statement is true, feel free to leave. If the second is true, does your posting style help?
This site is a great tool to mentor and learn from others. I’ve received more help here than I have via any AF sponsored mechanism. My unsolicited feedback: you are needlessly confrontational and a braggart. Present yourself differently and I’m sure you have constructive contributions to make.
So it's my fault since 2005, BODN has fallen off the wagon? You must live in a cave. Failure to adapt aside from the emojis, likes, and dislikes. Other branches adapt on the fly, but BODN is a direct reflection of the AF of never changing a damn thing.
You have dudes with 500+ liked comments running the show. Talking about alienating the younger guys/gals who do sign up and get crushed for one comment. Nobody intimidates me here.
Takes an act of Congress to upload a gif. I think most users utilize their cell phones to post as well. Does this forum ever host anyone the younger generation would love to communicate with outside of the guy from Congress? It's the same stuff constantly repeated.

Tale of the tape says...that’s a lie. You make up crazy shit for a while, then one of your 8 personalities can’t handle that other people aren’t as smart as you and that they could possibly disagree, and you go berserk and post an incoherent profanity laden rant. Wait a few months, come back because you care so little about internet opinions, repeat.

I have a question for you. You think my life revolves around BODN and what you all have to say or think? Are we in high school or something? I'm not a millennial and your comments don't make me want my own safe space. Social media comments and those made in this forum by people I don't know at all do not matter to me.
Nobody really cares at the end of the day about BODN. Site has fallen off since my pilot training days and never recovered.

Didn't they do a one year bonus for a little while recently?
I think that was in 2017. I signed up for a 2 year bonus that year. It felt good almost being a free agent this year.

Cursing, drinking, and yelling, isn’t okay nowadays but sending 18 year olds into a “war” that started before they were born with no goal is.
How old are you? You do realize our Airmen aren't pilots and most of their jobs consist of staying inside the wire right? Unless said 18 year is in a highly specialized AFSC or is aircrew, they stay inside the wire and still receive holidays off as we launch combat sorties.
Let me stop by Finance on Thanksgiving at Bagram. Oh wait, it's closed in combat? Thanks AF, I'll just login to MyPay from the WiFi signal in my B-hut.

Aren't you the same guy who walked into the squadron sobbing because the Xfinity cable guy was making unannounced visits to your crib? I was told there was definitely some bedroom disruption of service going on, but it wasn't remotely cable related.

So making someone cry from using emotional intelligence is different from yelling how?
If you can break someone using emotional intelligence or yelling the net result is the same.
You are using a tactic to elicit a change of behavior. No one method is better than the other.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks Dr. Phill. But you are 100% wrong. I'm sorry, but telling a kid his momma will be scraping his brains off a California highway from continuously speeding offbase on his motorcycle is the damn truth. Shirt wanted to take his driving privileges on base away after going through a stop sign on base. I told our Shirt no and our sister squadron Shirt backed me up. If an A1C is crying because he envisioned me having to tell his momma he died for being stupid, I'm okay with that scenario. I told him I will call his mother and make him explain to her why he can't stop speeding. If the enlisted come into your office to say great job Capt because it was effective. I'm rolling with the E’s on this one. Not some "Capt save a A1C on BODN.”
Some of you couldn't lead your way out of a wet paper bag, especially dealing with the enlisted. A lot of you suck based on some of your moronic ass responses. #Facts #Paging CMSgt Wright

You must not be a pilot or have experience with leading an organization if yelling at someone is the defining point of a toxic environment. It’s extremely common in every other branch of service. Some people need the tough love of being yelled at every now and then. Obviously not constantly, but it has a time and a place. And the fact that this whole thing involved civilians and not military members is telling. I doubt there would be any IG investigations going on if the Air Force didn’t try and replace every job with a contractor that can’t be fired, being paid 3x more than a service member, who has no clue or experience with military culture. I would bet money she had to deal with a lot of incompetent civilians who know she can’t do anything about it.
What freaking squadron are you in where people run around yelling? It serves no purpose at all. I didn't need to yell in order to get a back ender to stop driving his motorcycle like Maverick from Top Gun. I made him cry using a little emotional intelligence and didn't raise my voice once.
I have seen military members who yell in a training environment, then they think they can puff out their chest and do the same with civilians. The civilians won't lift a finger for that individual or their organization. My squadron had this exact problem until I rolled in. If you have to use your rank or big mouth to lead, I need you to sit down and STFU. My approach has worked wonders inside the squadron and with organizations outside the squadron like CONS and CE.

How long has this person been a CGO? Most of us are CGOs for a solid 10-12 years. That's one OTQ award a year. Doesn't seem excessive, especially if it's a fast-burner your CC is trying to set up for success.
I'm also curious if that's ALL CGO OTQ awards... Like, won at the squadron, then group, then wing for one quarter - that's three OTQ awards right there.
It sounded like squadron quarterly, but I could be wrong. It was my CC who said she won that many quarterly awards as a CGO. She is just one year group ahead of us.
When I won at the Group level, I always counted it as one, but combined with the squadron quarterly.
-
Tell me how a person wins CGOQ 10x? A certain CC told me this today. I shook my head, but internally thought WTF. I'm not trying to be a douchebag, but I would assume you didn't compete against anyone or you were the sole officer being submitted repeatedly.
BREAK BREAK
I had some E's bitching about the Operations Superintendent using bullets from everyone on his award package. Because he was competing against others who actually did all the work. I can see both sides of the argument.

I feel like stringing people along 2-3 years at a time would be a better strategy than the current lump sum. Right now they are only targeting people who are willing to go all in. If I had the chance to play assignment dice between each bonus I would probably stick around a bit longer. Who knows. I find most people are very hesitant though to sign another 9 year commitment after having already felt battered from the 10 year one they just got out of.
Had a young captain ask me about signing a 9 year bonus. I told him I wouldn't sign a 9 year bonus because the needs, wants, and desires of your family may change. You don't want to be trapped.
He probably signed up for 9 more years. Same guy who decided to pay for lap dances by using his GPC to get cash from the gentleman's club ATM. He thought the wife wouldn't find out. She found out because he can never go TDY. He had just gotten married!
