Crackdown at Lejeune: Inside the 2nd Marine Division commander’s controversial call for discipline
-
If your on base housing sucks and negligence results in an accident, just sue:
I didn't know OSI was well versed in electrical fires. I thought the fire department deals with determining the cause.
Housing Electrician: Hold my beer while I drill through a live wire with a nail.
OSI: The fire was the result of heating up a hot pocket.
Gen: It was an electrical fire.
OSI: You are right sir, it was an electrical fire.

That's what my community was already doing. Then when my O-5 PRF was written, I got a P. WG/CC told me it was because I had a bunch of #1/x Instructor/shop chief/WSO/evaluator, but not a lot of X/XX CGO/FGO. He even told me a #10/40 CGOs would have been more useful for a DP than my made up #1 strats.
I had the exact same in my PRF..lol! I did have one DG, #1/30 CGOs, #1/15 FGOs, #2/15 FGOs, and #8/30 FGOs in Group. I even had a #1/10 SOFs in there lol.
Hopefully, you make it. I get the feeling the non-ops side drive what is important on the board. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what the board values does change.

This belongs in the “What’s Wrong” thread.
Yet again, another great reason to steer clear of ACSC so you’re not tagged for PowerPoint deployments as a “leader”....
All the officers automatically promoted to O-4 will be the next to have the deer in the headlights look. Rolls downhill if an O-5 can't do it.

OIF ended almost a decade ago. Cyber played a role in OIR and is where most of the fight against near-peer adversaries will take place.
There have been some big wins in the COIN/CT fight because of cyber. Not much of it can be talked about here though.
Some of us here flew missions during OIF. I hope we aren't mixing SIGINT with cyber because they aren't the same. Cyber has been around since I was a SIGINT analyst in the late 90s working at an agency I cannot discuss. Based on Operation Allied Force, OIF, and OEF the contributions are just piggy backing and none of the conflicts were shortened. In my opinion, adversaries are becoming smarter and the non flying side of the AF does an inadequate job of adapting on the fly. Unless cyber can repel "boots on the ground," then it's just another tool in our war chest.
Cyber bud PRF read he deployed once to BAF, but racked up 300+ kills. I'm like there are Special Ops Units that probably don't have that many kills. (Maybe I'm just hating.)

Who would have thought Afghan pilots would bail on their country for US foot longs and a little Netflix and chill?
Since one of their female pilots was granted asylum. Wouldn't the Taliban just go after her family? The US closed the bring all your family to the US loophole I thought.

Because there's so few pilots compared to the other categories? Just thinking, not saying it's right.
Be interesting to see what happens to cyber. Finally got CSAF/SECAF to agree your comm sq officer and your cyber effects officer aren't actually the same AFSC and should be split. I can hear the gnashing of teeth from AFPC...
What did a Cyber Effects Officer do during all of OEF and OIF? We blew up everything electronic within the first few days during OIF. During OEF, you won't have any effects from the batteries going bad in the Taliban Speak & Spells.

First open lesbian GO in the USAF who was one of the first women to fly the B-2 removed?
Either failed a PT test or killed someone.
Men and women will have inappropriate relationships. Could be married with kids. I'm assuming this might be the case.

What happens to a Brig Gen who can't do their job anymore? Do they just stay home until a suitable position is found for them?
"She's a 4.5 star wacko," one former academy officer said of Goodwin, with whom he served alongside. Probably was a wacko as a Lt, Capt, Maj, Lt Col, and Col but now the AF is just catching on...yeah right.

I think his point is... or at least what I got out of his story is that it looks like there was a good chance he was definitely being profiled and if that was the case, HTF did the drug testing people know of his medical records? That is HIPAA stuff right there.
I would assume medical on base or a lab off base tests the results. The DDRP lady isn't testing your samples. Personnel running the tests already have access to your records or don't if sent off base.

Dragon 1 Flight - 2 Dragon (Ship) Mission Checkrides
Studs: Daenerys/Drogon & Jon/Rhaegal
Daenerys - Q-1E (On altitude and shacked airspeed with great all around SA. Amazing lead.)
Jon Snow - Q-3 (Worst wingman ever & horrible SA. Always out of position. No BDA checks attempted. Inconsistent support for lead during flight. Broke formation to roll in on Night King. Did not perform lost wingman procedure, which resulted in mid-air dragon collision.)

Was prescribed a legal dose of oxy after a visit to the ER.
I brought the RX to flight medicine the next day.... flushed the pills after a week.
I pissed six times in the next six months.
Haven’t pissed since.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIf you have been legally prescribed a medicine, you don't have to worry about popping hot. They look to see if you were authorized the meds based on your medical records/prescriptions. I assume there are reasonable time limits that goes with your prescription and DDRP.

I think they "randomly" select people who can waste a couple hours without affecting the flying schedule. I remember being on casual status prior to UPT and having to go pee in a cup three times in one two week period, including back to back days. Either I was just available, or someone was spreading lies about me. Same thing happened at my first base after UPT. I don't get tested for over a year, go DNIF and get tested twice in a week again.
When I was DNIF, I was tested a lot in Phase II. Just one of those things because you are available. If you give a sample every week, that's someone on the schedule who doesn't.

Somewhere, there is an O who should be supervising his/her Es. Let’s make sure the root cause analysis doesn’t stop at the wrong level.
I am 100% for certain the Resource Management (RM) office is run by E's. No O's in sight the few times I have visited the office.
Reminds me a certain SARM office that had those types of business hours. Guess who put an end to SARM group PT and their weekly group breakfast. The whole office would be gone for breakfast. The CC, SS, and CCF all backed me up.

If you get pooped for a urinalysis, isn’t your pee dumped in a batch with everyone else’s?
At that point if there is a failure, they call everyone back again?
also, how long would a chewable caramel even stay in your system?
From promotion to drug use discussion. Thread derailed. Here is a good article. It all depends I guess..https://orderediblesonline.com/how-long-do-edibles-stay-in-your-system/

And if I worked at Google and some kid that had served honorably in the military for several years and did some professional development like CCAF along the way, I’d be very interested in that person as a candidate vice some guy that’s fresh out of college that knows how to smoke weed and exist through 4 years.
Google isn't going to pay you to sit there and watch their network stay down for hours like in the Air Force. Then said Airman sends out an email 5 hours after the fact to notify everyone. Forgetting, nobody has email access to read it anyway. 😂🤣😂🤣
Additionally, 70% of the men and women between the ages of 18-24 are ineligible to serve because of drug, weight, testing, or criminal issues. The remaining percentage is like a box of chocolates.
I see the reports of Airmen and NCOs who have done marijuana, cocaine, meth, and the list goes on. With states approving the use of marijuana, the military is bracing for a force hooked on marijuana like they experienced around the time of Vietnam. What did the military do back then to clean house? They kicked you out immediately. I was told whole offices were kicked out if they all tested positive.

E's preach about the importance of a CCAF. I had a SNCO call another SNCO out for not having a CCAF. Go to Google and tell them you have your CCAF and you want them to hire you. I talked to the SNCO about the importance of leading and solving problems, but internally I kept feeling just like this in regard to the significance of a CCAF:

I returned from TDY Sunday night. Submitted the voucher Monday morning. Was paid Tuesday morning.
Of course I’ve had the odd voucher that didn’t nicely fit the mission that took a couple days to figure out. But generally I get paid on time just fine.
Returned last Friday morning (19 April) from TDY Submitted voucher from home on Friday (19 April) around 1300. Reviewed Monday by RM office. I email AO Wednesday to review. He kicks it back on Friday, April 26. I resubmit within a few mins the changes he requested and then the original "Reviewer" kicked it back a few minutes later. I called her and my hotel receipt needed to be moved under substantiated documents and removed as an expense. Completed changes in 3 mins and resubmitted around 1230. Chances are the Reviewer in the RM office bailed on a Friday because things went radio silent after. We have an RM office with 2 E's that deals with DTS for every squadron in the Group.
Maybe you got paid because you have O's running DTS opposed to E's who bolt after lunch. Some E's do things at lightning snail speeds I've noticed.

If it's not under substantiating documents the AO can't see it.
I put the document under receipts because it was a hotel receipt. She was able to see it because she told me to move it. Grrrr
