January 9, 201213 yr Seriously? I think he just means that there hasn't been any prohibition on people of the same gender sharing a room, thus theoretically if a same sex couple were deployed together they might be able to arrange sharing quarters.
January 10, 201213 yr Seriously? There was a guy deployed with us last time that most of us figured he was teh ghey. He had a few "companions" that summer.

January 11, 201213 yr Was his name Fudge by any chance? You looking for someone to bunk with next time?
February 8, 201213 yr Thread revival. The "Shit ___ Say" meme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ape62FDOavo... Highlight for me was the non-rated O-5 making fun of customer service at Finance.

Anyone here insulted like this commenter was?? Anyone.....? Bueller...?? This is another example of the video tradition of officers that are both damaging to the moral of the enlisted and breaking down of respect for rules and military discipline. I would love to see what promotion boards actually think if these things are part of a promotion package.
February 8, 201213 yr Anyone here insulted like this commenter was?? Anyone.....? Bueller...?? nice...could have used powerpoint (pre-empting Rainmain)

Damn, I think I've said most of those things this week. Well done. Anyone here insulted like this commenter was?? Anyone.....? Bueller...?? Festivus?
February 9, 201213 yr I would like to point out that the guy making all the negative comments on that video is into "Live action role playing" and posted many videos about it. Here's an example of "Live action role playing" YCMTSU
February 9, 201213 yr Wait, movies are $1.50 at AUAB now? What is that crap?! (Crawling back into my AETC hole...sts) Edited February 9, 201213 yr by DC

Here's an example of "Live action role playing" YCMTSU I can't stop watching this. Oh, and the poster's screen name is "sexdwarf"...I'm guessing there's some irony there, but figured I point it out since this is my 69th post.
February 9, 201213 yr Bergman: In general, whining about meaningless crap isn’t a good look for an officer, but this seemed like some harmless silliness. That being said, although I doubt an LOR/LOC is on the way, I don’t think anyone would be surprised if the Lt Col involved was invited to have a quiet conversation with his boss about this the relative merits of silliness.

Dude, your reflective belt is wrapped too tight.
February 9, 201213 yr I don't believe the tobacco issue has anything to do with the morality police -- I think it's just a tax/AAFES issue. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. The bigger issue here has been the great sickness of Nov 2011, which is causing more GI distress then you even want to imagine. Hopefully that's in remission too. For me, the most cosmic mystery about the undisclosed location in South West Asia is the threshold rule. As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) they don't play by that rule at the undisclosed Army base here or at any other Army base in theater. Don't know whose rule it is or if anyone has ever really pushed to test (congressional, etc) but it amazes me we are forced to live with it. As a 20 year married dude it isn't a real concern of mine (like tobacco) but the policy has always surprised me. Oh, and this place is hell -- I had to drink my Bombay and tonic last night with no ice. It really makes sense when you deploy a married couple to the same place for six months. In an Army base, they'd live together. In an Air Force base, they can't set foot in each others' rooms. Where's the sense in that? Edit: I hadn't seen that they were revising the policy. If so, it's about damn time. Edited February 9, 201213 yr by pawnman
February 9, 201213 yr I heard these guys got Article 15s and were sent home... ...and they appreciated it...
February 10, 201213 yr Bergman: In general, whining about meaningless crap isn’t a good look for an officer, but this seemed like some harmless silliness. This isn't whining at all. These guys provided the best customer satisfaction survey ever. The fact is that they were 100% spot-on with their jokes, and honestly after 10+ years at AUAB there is no reason in the world that the majority of that stuff hasn't been fixed long ago. Oh, and thanks for the lesson in officership. I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm having trouble earning respect from people in the squadron. That being said, although I doubt an LOR/LOC is on the way, I don’t think anyone would be surprised if the Lt Col involved was invited to have a quiet conversation with his boss about this the relative merits of silliness. You're probably right on this one. Here's hoping he's only got a few months left before retirement or a 4-star sponsor somewhere. I'll send him an email tomorrow to see what the fallout has been so far. Edited February 10, 201213 yr by Bergman
February 10, 201213 yr Dude that shit was funny. Maybe instead of people getting all butthurt, they should take it as constructive criticism and fix the problems, seeing as they are saying we are going to be there "forever".
February 10, 201213 yr Oh, and thanks for the lesson in officership. I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm having trouble earning respect from people in the squadron. You can never pass up a good opportunity to give a planner a lesson in officership.....
