November 23, 200916 yr Its been days without input on the biggest topic on Baseops. Has the leadership improved dramatically since the Officer call, or did the lobotomys do the trick? It got really quiet really fast.
November 23, 200916 yr Its been days without input on the biggest topic on Baseops. Has the leadership improved dramatically since the Officer call, or did the lobotomys do the trick? It got really quiet really fast. I'd say it's because it got pinned - seems to drop out of the cross-check.
November 23, 200916 yr Anyone see all the signs at the cadillac nearest the Independence "DFAC" (that's the CC Chow Hall) threatening removal of the stalls if the "tagging" doesn't stop? Or the ones on the inside of the Cadillac doors that warn "To leave you must be wearing PTs with the shirt tucked in or ABUs with the blouse on."

November 24, 200916 yr Amy chance the leadership at the Clown City located in Qatar might find themselves in a similar situation sometime soon????? Me thinks we can only pray...... https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2009/11/airforce_commanders_relieved_112309w/ Schwartz raises the bar for commanders By Bruce Rolfsen - Staff writer Posted : Tuesday Nov 24, 2009 9:01:50 EST Five wing commanders dismissed in less than a year — two in October alone. The Air Force hasn’t cleaned house like this since the mid-1990s, and its top uniformed officer promises more firings if his commanders don’t perform up to snuff. The heads started to roll last November, about three months after Gen. Norton Schwartz took over as chief of staff; all the commanders were colonels and all lost their jobs because of what the Air Force described as a “loss of confidence” in their performance.

November 25, 200916 yr Now if only we could get somebody to send Schwartz a link to this thread.... Maybe someone should talk to Reflective Belt and see where he can get a fairly anonymous IP and email.
November 26, 200916 yr Maybe someone should talk to Reflective Belt and see where he can get a fairly anonymous IP and email. that's easy.... just create a yahoo or gmail account from a public computer... the perfect crime
November 29, 200916 yr The silence from the people at the Deid on this thread is deafening...(post Wing/CC Call)
November 29, 200916 yr The silence from the people at the Deid on this thread is deafening...(post Wing/CC Call) 2 WTF is going on? Has the deid banned this website?
November 30, 200916 yr 2 WTF is going on? Has the deid banned this website? Something is goin on. I am at McChord and I can not post from my work computer anymore, view only.
November 30, 200916 yr I think it's because we haven't had any new policies or exercises in a while. We're still wearing reflective belts with every uniform (although not indoors, and not in daylight...yet). We're still tucking in the PT gear, even while working out. We're still saluting in PT gear (although I haven't seen too many cases of people being REMFed for not saluting). We're still supposed to use spotters to back the cars out of their parking spots (but no one ever does). The Qatari ISP still blocks porn websites. I guess there just isn't much new going on that hasn't been covered already.
November 30, 200916 yr In an interesting take on the Honor Code and the Core Values, Carlos Mencia will be performing here this week. This follows last month's Services-sponsored Home Run Derby which was promoted with flyers featuring Barry Bonds.

This follows last month's Services-sponsored Home Run Derby which was promoted with flyers featuring Barry Bonds. Which is still less jarring to me than having new PFT standards where they estimate 40% of USAF members will fail...and hosting a hot dog eating contest at the Deid. Way to promote fitness, EFSS!
November 30, 200916 yr Same ass-clownery as always out here. I guess it seems that the hyper-zealous enforcement of the gay belts has subsided a little, but I did see someone get thrown out of the gym the other day (not sure why, it didn't have to do with reflective belts, and surely it wasn't because his shirt wasn't tucked in. Maybe he was out of uniform in a subtle way that I did not notice). During the Tiananmen Square incident here a few weeks ago, I asked a reliable higher-up (O-6) why the sudden violent crackdown on reflective belts that resulted in physical contact and people getting arrested. He said it was because they did a "survey" and found that there was a 40% non-compliance rate of wearing the reflective belts around the parking lot in front of the chow hall. I personally find it hard to believe, unless they are talking about civilians too. So I guess compliance is back up, and the REMF's have won another victory - until next time. Bottom line, Baseops.net is not blocked, the commanders call was not about this website or reflective belts (it was about other criminal incidents that he felt should be highlighted to the entire wing officer corps), and it is the clown show as usual at the Deid.

Actually, saw (what I assume was) a squadron-leadership type checking reflective belts at the BPC chow hall today. And we're still signing up our own SQ/CC, DO, and senior ADO for similar duties on a rotating basis. I guess the NCOs felt they didn't have enough pull and we needed some O-5's to REMF people. At roll call, our mayor actually compared it to a certain SERE scenario...but the first rule of SERE is don't talk about SERE to the unitiated, so I'll let you guys piece it together.

Soooooo, we're all in agreement that we should PCS the REMFs to Happy Valley?
December 1, 200916 yr What incident? Just wanting to be clear on what we're talking about... Just talking in general about the violent crackdown on the passive resistance to the reflective belts - the major getting arrested and sent home, the LT getting the tray ripped out of his hands (which, by the way, the above mentioned O-6 who I quoted said that never happened. In true Stalinist form, that event has been erased from history - sorry Disco_Nav), the Marines not getting served food, the airmen getting denied use of the Caddilac for not having a reflective belt on, etc.
