Good Riddance, Mark Milley.
I have nothing significant to contribute more than I already have on other threads regarding this degenerate POS, but I love this thread! Good riddance indeed, should have resigned 2 years ago if he wasn’t such a self serving douche. He is everything that is wrong with the military, specifically the Army. Not a huge fan of CQ’s DEI initiatives but he’ll be heaps and bounds better than this sack of uselessness.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
This is why I’ve kept my own logbook, never trusted a 1C further than I could throw them! Plus the notes section of my logbook makes for nice memories and reflection .

Maybe at the bars you hang out at Biff…never had that saggy trailer park problem once I left the Deep South. Although the metropolitan chicks come with their own issues. Glad I’m married now and don’t have to deal with the me too movement. But yes…nothing wrong with being a gray beard iron major. Just make sure you’re square with that down the road and don’t have regrets.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Oh Nate, he landed a USAFA glider off the airfield, well off the airfield back at the Zoo. Flying has never been his forte, politicking and brown nosing, very much so. He got ENJJPT because of his GPA, you know because a good GPA correlates to flying fighters or something.. He’s going places though, he has taken full advantage of the intangible opportunities presented to him. Plays the race card like no other.

Geilenkirchen Info
We had zero trouble finding pet sitters or kennels for travel. Germany is one of the most pet friendly countries. Lufthansa was very good. Flight attendants even gave us 3 hour updates on how they were doing. Zero issues.

What’s your timing to IP qual? If you’re worried about making 0-5, this last board the trend I saw for most who didn’t make it is no school nor staff (with just a P). If you are going to make IP soon I’d consider biting the bullet and volunteering for a staff assignment to move next summer and then meet your board following year. If you are confident about getting a DP at your wing then I’d just stay put so you can keep flying. Bottom line, you need to sit your leadership down and make them give you feedback and what their plan for you is.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Oldie, but can verify that the dude has always been an arrogant, narcissistic, self serving, attention seeking douchebag that will eff over his peers in a heartbeat to get ahead. Seems like he went to Harvard so now he’s someone else’s problem until he gets picked up for a USD position and joins the ranks of other affirmative action hires that have no business touching anything in our military’s decision making problem.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
After the Billions of Dollars we invested in their counter offensive !? You are damn right we get a vote on the means to the outcome be it negotiations or other tools of foreign policy.

The Next President is...
Hahah nothing to see here, there is no hope for equitable justice between the two sides of the spectrum. Best we can hope for is someone not named Trump humiliate him during the general election.

Kamala looks like something out of a horror movie, Fetterman sucks too!

The Next President is...
We’ll see how tonight goes, I think Trump is an idiot for skipping the debate. I agree Trump needs to go ASAP because I can’t take 4 more years of this blithering fool or his incompetence filled DOD.

Finally done in Afghanistan?
The Editor’s note is putting it too kindly.

How do you feel about your airframe and mission?
ADCON. NAF/CCs allegedly supervise wing kings while MAJCOM/CCs focus on the enterprise. When some MAJCOMs have 10+ wings - it is also a span of control issue. Much like the army has divisions between Brigades and Corps. However, in the army the Division provides operational and tactical guidance to brigades while in the Air Force NAFs are mostly administrative.

How do you feel about your airframe and mission?
I haven’t met a single ACC heavy pilot who doesn’t hate their job. It’s usually those dudes fighting to get to AMC. Let’s see, in pretty much every ACC heavy platform you as a pilot are not in charge of the mission (ref tinker thread), you are literally the red headed stepchild of ACC, and as mentioned there is no reward outside of the cockpit. If I was king for a day I would put most ISR platforms (to include E-3s, E-8s) in their own MAJCOM. AFSOC would still keep some MQ-9s, GCCs would still get allocated their sorties, but you have a whole world dedicated to airborne ISR and C2.

The Congressman is back yo
Guys.. he’s a troll! He’s one of us, and a good troll at that. Sadly what comes out of his posts are the sentiments shared by many of our senior leaders. Everyone relax and pour a cold one!

This prick is still around the limelight? I guess Biden is so why not.

If Gunships come from the T-1 track why couldn’t Buffs? It’s not like you learn weapons employment in the 38. Is the 38 really going to make or break an inbound Buff pilot? Honestly curious!

To support or not…
Every candidate at his level has and will push whatever flavor the current administration touts (right now: woke); so all else equal, I’d rather have a relatively apolitical and quiet Air Force fighter pilot at the helm that will advocate for air power than another indecisive and incompetent Mark Milley.

100%, it’s also a classic bait and switch tactic for the left. Speak out against it and you’re obviously a xenophobic anti immigration MAGA bigot!
