  • Many senior leaders value the wrong things. We overvalue entertainment, image, compliance and control. We undervalue combat, results, creativity and trust.

    I would normally never do this to a fellow airman, but I had the distinct pleasure of cock blocking a Tops in Blue tool bag on a flight to San Antonio a few months ago. We both totally lucked out by

I saw this thread pop back up again and it reminded me that when I in processed at Vance a few weeks ago for UPT, one of the 2dLTs that inprocessed with me asked if she could get her UPT start date pushed back if she made TIB...

The IP inprocessing us almost shit his pants.

Oh, come on! You can't tell a story like that and not give the important details...WAS SHE HOT? Because really, that makes all the difference in how the IP responds to her question:

post-633-010314300 1293615237_thumb.jpg IP: "We might be able to work something out...why don't you get on my schedule so we can talk about it"

She was somewheres in between, but not good looking enough to keep everyone in the room from laughing their asses off at her. Also, more back story..

Graduated from the Academy moved to Europe to get her masters, goes to UPT, then tries to get a 1 year permissive TDY..

Someone must really not want to contribute to the mission..

Now that is working the system. Reminds me of someone else.

Mark my words, she will become a GO.

She had flown more than 100 hours in her A-10, affectionately known as the Warthog

I didn't know 100 hours in an airframe was notable. Although with all the White House Fellow-ing and Harvard Master-ing going on, thats all she could fit in...

100 hours will barely get you to the East Tac and back from DM.

The "100 hours" stat in the article is a typo. They probably left off a zero.

It looks like she retired, but has her own wiki page.

What's your point?

I don't know Col Martha McSally from Eve, but "her unit being responsible for securing isolated personnel?" Really?, the JSRC/JPRC is charged with recovering IPs? Sure they help and coordinate, but really? I'm sure the journos trumped up her role as JSRC director, but seriously....

You said to mark your words that she would be a GO. This is nothing more than an FYI that she retired as a colonel.

I wasn't talking about McKACHING becoming a GO. I meant the other woman asking for special treatment wrt TIB reminded me of McKACHING, playing the system for all it is worth. You inferred I was saying McKACHING was going to become a GO.

Clear enough?

Some people find a way to take credit for the work of others. I'm sure you've met a few of them, they're super fun to be around.

I'm the last person to defend her but thiswas the current pub when she was at the JSRC. Many references to IP.

A "well known" Boom Operator was accepted on the new '11 team. Good riddance.

Back to this one. Out of Travis? May do part time work in Vegas?

Tops In Blue, the Air Force's expeditionary entertainment unit

Really?? Wow....

This year's Tops In Blue team is extremely excited about this opportunity, and every member looks forward to representing the Air Force both live and on television throughout the world.

You sure as hell aren't representing me.

Every time I see a picture of Tops in Blue or read an article about them, I feel sick to my stomach. Is this really what the Air Force values? Are our senior leaders really this retarded?

Edited by Gravedigger

That's the current lineup, and they quit touring in March. He'll be on this new team.

I feel :rainbow: for even knowing that (his Facebook posts).

You sure as hell aren't representing me.

Ditto.

I'd much rather have a gaggle of veterans sing the National Anthem than this group.

Give me some Army guys sporting deployment patches and CIBs on their ACUs, some pilots with combat time, some Navy SeaBee's or EOD's, some PJs/TAC-Ps/CCTs/CROs/STOs or any Air Force job that requires an acronym and a beret to describe, and any Marine with sand on their boots.

I don't want to see some excruciatingly choreographed GAY routine. Give me something real please.

It's just embarrassing...I mean, like realllly realllly embarrassing. Quick, create a diversion...Look! Sea-Chanters!!!!

Super Bowl XLV will be televised on FOX Feb. 6, with kickoff scheduled for 6:25 p.m. ET. Tops In Blue will perform shortly after 6 p.m.

At least PA is giving us a warning on when TIB will embarrass the AF...

Next you're going to tell me the Super Bowl flyby will be flown by a MQ-9.

"Capt" Early needs to change his picture, shouldn't TIB be on top of their queep? Lesley Hunter......would.

Hehe. I actually know that guy. That seriously dings my opinion of him, to say the least.

Tops In Blue is a group of Airmen composed of 35 vocalists, dancers, musicians and technicians who perform for deployed service members and coalition forces, helping to provide a sense of pause and escape for them, so they feel inspired to continue their missions.

This is why the AF no longer needs leaders. We have these ass-clowns instead.

If there was a "mission" they inspired me to do, it would be to run for Congress so I could ensure their funding was cut. Permanently.
