Prosuper

Old airframes!?, KC-135 and B-52 guys going surely you jest. Do elephant walks count as sorties now?

Well, that will get rid of a bunch super-duper Command Chiefs, my last base before I retired had 4 guys make Chief in the Sq. They all got order's to Minot, Osan, Kunsan and Oman. All of them chose to retire, service before self lost its luster to them.

Sounds like they are bringing back Total Quality Management

DB Coopers not so smart grandson??

Happens in MX too, had a troop have 3 babies in 5 years, she was our training NCO, just making everyone got scheduled and we had no red slides. She was an SRA then when it was time to come back to the flight line, she had a line # for Tech. She was given a jet as a DCC with strong SSGT who the actual Crew Chief was. I felt sorry for her, she thought she would stay in the training the office but her rank and DAFSC required us to put her on the line. Also spending 4 years being pregnant she put on weight, and the fat boy program was messing with her to get it off. She was a great troop but being short and top heavy she chose to separate. If she was ops I would imagine her life would have been easier but MX at this time we were short of everything, and she had to pick up a wrench.

God Dammit, just let us take CBD, edibles without getting crucified, I started getting anxiety attacks when in crowded big box stores. I thought all I did in the AOR's was fix jets and did some contracting, thought I was just being a pussy. Retired from USAF again in June WG11. Over 40 years wrenching and moved to a small town in Colorado, I hate going to Colorado Springs, Canon City or Pueblo. Just can't handle crowds anymore, 8500 ft elevation and alone I'm great, and this is a guy who was born and raised in the south side of Chicago. I go the hardware store in town and buy some CBD drinks and some drops at the health store. It helps, don't know if it has placebo effect, but I feel better, the clean air too is a plus. Take care of yourself boys, Uncle Sam will just drug you so you will go away.

I heard getting an English degree is useful, able to write a sentence without leaning on grammar and spell check should always be useful, I could be wrong.

It's cheaper than blood.

Hense if students want a job in the real world they need to specialize in Human Resources, when I enlisted in 1980 I cannot remember if we even had a social actions office. Most AFSC's were male only and we were free to be the uncouth slobs we were born to be.

At least you got a slot, back when I was in 1980 to 2003 I applied 4 times as a Crew Chief, unfortunately never got selected, too many tail gunners looking for jobs and some good idea fairy thought cops and cooks would be good FE's

I have researched the Presidents border policy; he is again caught plagiarizing somebodies' idea.

Hillary wants half the country into forced deprograming from MAGA. She has to be one of the evilest women out there along with Lindsay Hill. After forced reeducation, next on the agenda will be. Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Heterosexual's, and Home schoolers.

This generations Merrill McPeak.

They used to have a B-52D on static display, reserve CLSS squadrons used to do their 2-week summer vacation just to keep it up. Those Squadrons were deactivated, and it corroded to crap and became a hazard, and was scrapped. All the aircraft like E-3's, KC-135's and F-15's that PACAF had possession of had major corrosion issues and stayed PDM longer.

NM governor, another rich white liberal woman listening to the good idea fairy. Then the View a program of rich liberal women complaining about the influx of illegals in NYC then proclaiming how proud that NYC is a sanctuary city. Were doomed.

He would just go back to his seat on the Board of Raytheon after he steers a bunch of contracts their way. The next administration will just pick someone who has deep ties to the military industrial complex

A HR guy once told me, if modern companies had no women in their ranks the HR dept they would not have a job. Seeing that new college graduates who put their preferred pronoun on their resumes are going straight into the G file.

A company in Florida is bringing back the PBY and going to do what Basler in Oshkosh did to the C-47. This company wants to ressurect the PBY 'Catalina' seaplane (interestingengineering.com)

Today's problem is that the pedo's see how the gays have been accepted into polite society. They use this as their foot in the door by saying we don't have a choice of our own sexual preference just like the gay community. They are trying to normalize that being sexually attracted to a small child is OK. Especially in Texas where pedos are murdered by parents whose children were destroyed by them unless it's in Travis County. Jury nullification everywhere else especially if all 12 jurors are parents. It doesn't matter if a DA is full on Soros funded lawyer, if children are hurt by these monsters the families will take justice into their own hands because the courts will fail in legality plus crowd funding will pay for the parents legal fees.

The problem is not an incomplete launch pad, the problem is down the line when one these Starships refuel on the moon and relaunch itself home or onto Mars. If it does this every time, landing it on the Mars will make a permanent fixture on the planet. Elon might have to build a ship like the Apollo Lunar landers carried by Starship. Each question answered brings ten more questions or problems that need to solve. Apollo was a tinker toy compared to this. Glad it's in the private sector, can't imagine a bunch GS 15's stabbing each other in the back and taking years to make simple changes.

Back in the day on Sept 30th I remember doing the ProSuper thing with my supply and RA guys taking the budget down to zero, I was looking at the all the 781K write ups and ordering parts for what we had in supply to clear them. Ordering stuff like gortex jackets, boots , Leatherman,. Nobody to this day could explain to me why we couldn't carry it over to the next years budget.

Back in the 80's and early 90's many Crew Chiefs had additional duty as Flight Mechanics and were awarded enlisted aircrew wings. Some units sent them to survival and SERE trng and after 2 years of active flying they became permanent. Also, SAC awarded Master Crew Chief or Technician badges which were not easy to get rewarded. But if you left those units to a TAC later ACC unit Chiefs wasted no time by telling Crew Chiefs to rip them off, plus if you wanted to see some little bitch's wear an issued leather flight jacket for the once-a-year blues inspection or a PME class with wings above your ribbon rack.

Looks like an invite list to a cocktail party to a swanky restaurant in Georgetown.

Never been on a failure but seeing Mx and Ops kick ass only to see supporting groups screw the pooch, didn't seem hard to pass, in SAC you followed the checklist to the letter and monkey got a banana. I guess away from the flight line mission focus is wanting followed by closing offices for functions or training.

When I came in the early 80's we had guys sporting little Hitler moosestaches , looked like hell, went TDY to Baggotville CFB and saw the USAF attachment all sporting beards due to the harsh conditions there in the winter. Have a reservist MSgt who works with me who got a Nordic waiver, I told him he should have a name tape in Nordic Rune's to answer any questions. I'm all for it, since we recognize all other interest groups with accommodations why not the Vikings.
