dream big

I’ve always wondered this - what happens when a MAJCOM/component commander has multiple bosses (service chief, CCDR), basically most MAJCOMs..and one of their bosses want to fire them. Who wins? What happens in this instance if say the CSAF tells SOCOM to pound sand and doesn’t want his AFSOC/CC fired?

Sadly that’s everyone outside of the Newark / Edison / Philly metro - guess who has higher numbers. Same with upstate Ny - outside major metros it’s about as red as you can get, but the city outvotes everyone.

Flying is the only “job” I had that never felt like a job. It never got old. I’ve never met a pilot in the military that regretted becoming a pilot.

Which major university isn’t? I bet half of these protestor aren’t even students there.

Single track worked for years, created many of the old heads on this forum now - no need to fix what isn’t broken. Current AETC commander is phenomenal and unlike many of his predecessors doesn’t have his head up his ass.

I’ve noticed this as well, many moderately political hot women I knew got much uglier the more outspokenly liberal and progressive they get. Weird.

We have a named operation obligating us to provide Missile Defense for Israel; there is no such legal obligation for Ukraine.

Spoiler alert - Biden: “It’s Trump’s fault”

Was discussing this topic with a coworker; flabbergasted that Biden is still a viable contender for reelection following this once in a century type of failure/embarrassment. He keenly pointed out that most Americans do not give a shit about what happened in Afghanistan one way or another; much like they couldn’t care less about what happens in Ukraine. We obviously care about it on this board but we are not a representation of the general populace. The election will come down to the economy, border, and social issues.

Fixed it for you my man!

She won’t get fired

First time browsing that cesspool of nonner dipshits? Every time I view that page I’m not surprised the Air Force is in the state it is in.

Gaslighting seems to be a winning tactic

Soon to be former Airman!

I think someone on his PR team was cleared hot to go forward with this to purposely sabotage him; there is no way they could think this would be beneficial to him.

Just enjoy the craft beer, it’s one thing the hippies have on the rest of the country, just one.

To the friction with the base commanders point, apparently some old heads said that once upon a time, the base commanders were 0-5s, meaning the 0-6 Wing Commander could get his way; if the base commander is an 0-6 (think current Air Base Wings), then there will definitely be issues. I can see divorcing the current Ops Wing Kings from installation commander duties having its pros and cons. To the span of control point, the Army often has multiple Battalion commanders (0-5s), under one 0-6 Brigade Commander, anecdotally with more discipline issues than an Air Force Wing. Seems that Army Battalion commanders are trusted much more than Air Force Squadron commanders. Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of issues with the Army but they get some things right.

Been going on for over a year, severely affecting our mil platforms as well, and we haven’t done s$&t about it..

Another waste of precious resources money and most importantly lives.

Army makes their money in USFK

Just catering to his brain dead voter base.

Allah has the chutes!

Hell DEI is a full time industry/profession now! Random example, you can now select DEI fellowship for IDE/SDE! Wonder why we haven’t won a war in decades.

Great plan for the Dems until they realize a majority of the legal and undocumented immigrants that come to this country from the southern border come from strong Catholic / socially conservative backgrounds. Not enough to sway the populace by any means but said “Latino Vote” is no longer a given, look at DeSantis’s win in traditionally heavy blue Miami Dade county.

Gotta pump those Air Force Ball bake sales and CGOC numbers up! Air Force doesn’t care whether you’re a good pilot or not.
