Recruiting Crisis: 9% want to serve
It’s real stupid, that’s for sure. The memo itself was real aggravating to read, HQ reaching into Sqs like that. That being said, in my corner of AFSOC, leadership is trying to meet the bare minimum intent so as to not pile more shit on everyone’s already overflowing plates. I also don’t think AFSOC has turned into a bunch of clowns (at least not yet). We’re still able to go out and execute, directly validated just a couple months ago.

If you’re truly not happy in AMC and can’t find another venue inside your community for job satisfaction then come on over to MC-Js, if you’re looking for more tactical flying we definitely have it.
