March 5, 201312 yr https://www.jqpublic-blog.com/?p=133 Well written, valid points, and no attempt to rip off Drew Carey. Well done on his part; I also note that he is responding to comments posted. Always respect someone who will defend their position.
March 5, 201312 yr His 3 main points are absolutely spot on. And it's a sad but true reality of the Air Force.
March 5, 201312 yr I think he was a C-17 Sqd/CC @ CHS. From his intro, he was probably 2 below to LTC. TC is a great guy and was one of the few actual leaders in the MAF community before he recently became Mr. TC. WIC, 2 BPZ, Intern, #1 on the Hawk list in the MAF... definitely the AMC Golden Boy, but also the guy you were excited to see being labeled that way. He is definitely going on to bigger/better things in his post AF career.
March 5, 201312 yr And with a few under their breath mutters about "ungrateful, disloyal,'' Big Blue will continue on its merry way never to change. Kudos to the guy for walking the walk and I bet he has no issue with looking himself in the mirror, but Big Blue simply doesn't care. Lesson for good and evil to young'uns. Do you want to be good, Danny?
March 5, 201312 yr I am not sure what it will take to make this happen, but maybe sequestration could be the catalyst to a well needed culture shift. Won't sequestration just continue to force squadrons to consolidate duties even more? What you say is spot on about the tech part though, that comment is a good way to look at it.
March 5, 201312 yr Won't sequestration just continue to force squadrons to consolidate duties even more? What you say is spot on about the tech part though, that comment is a good way to look at it. Get rid of additional duties? Come on, we need an emergency manager, facility safety manager, and facility anti-terrorism monitor. Edited March 5, 201312 yr by 17D_guy
March 5, 201312 yr What everyone else said about TC. Good on him for calling it like it is. Hope the Generals in at least AMC read this and weep for what they know is calling it EXACTLY like it is, to their full shame.
March 5, 201312 yr Get rid of additional duties? Come on, we need an emergency manager, facility safety manager, and facility anti-terrorism monitor. Air Force creates new Community Support Coordinator job at 71 bases.
March 5, 201312 yr Hope the Generals in at least AMC read this and weep for what they know is calling it EXACTLY like it is, to their full shame. I wouldn't count on it...
March 5, 201312 yr Do you want to be good, Danny? I know I've made some mistakes in the past but I want to make up for them. I want to be good.
March 6, 201312 yr Air Force creates new Community Support Coordinator job at 71 bases. Ours is primarily in charge of running the Resiliency Day activities. Not at all a waste of money.
March 6, 201312 yr Air Force creates new Community Support Coordinator job at 71 bases. Was going to post that in the WTF thread. Of note, we also have Resiliency Managers in our org now sending us emails about resilient stuff...
March 6, 201312 yr Of note, we also have Resiliency Managers in our org now sending us emails about resilient stuff... I'd kill myself if I were getting all of those e-mails...
March 7, 201312 yr Favorite part about the post-deployment mental health computer assessment BS: you can't fill it out until 90 days after your return date. Day 91? Email straight to your commander. This seems reasonable; thanks resiliency crew!
March 7, 201312 yr Had to rehack my annual and other CBTs today, started with the Suicide Awareness hoping to give me the resiliency to make it through my 69 other ones, yeah it didn't help.Favorite part about the post-deployment mental health computer assessment BS: you can't fill it out until 90 days after your return date. Day 91? Email straight to your commander. This seems reasonable; thanks resiliency crew! Let me guess your commander is on leave and day 92 an email to your MAJCOM/CC, because that makes the most logical progression.
March 7, 201312 yr I'd kill myself if I were getting all of those e-mails... I never had the motivation to create Outlook rules until I came back from leave last year. I had over 300 emails after two weeks of leave, and only 10 of them were important, or required my attention for some task. We call our first shirt and chiefs the "Spam Master General". Favorite part about the post-deployment mental health computer assessment BS: you can't fill it out until 90 days after your return date. Day 91? Email straight to your commander. This seems reasonable; thanks resiliency crew! I hate how this is actually a statistic that is shown at commanders' meetings. CBT completion rates are just another useless statistic that Commander's will get on you for. Our shop recently had to complete CBTs that were not even due in ADLS, but my organization determined they were due. Sadly, this is something that will never end, and I have civilian counterparts who participate in CBTs as well.
March 7, 201312 yr We call our first shirt and chiefs the "Spam Master General" "Hello, I'm the new group first shirt and blah blah"....copy, you just got added to my auto-delete rule. Why is it this group is always the biggest email abuser?
March 7, 201312 yr "Hello, I'm the new group first shirt and blah blah"....copy, you just got added to my auto-delete rule. Why is it this group is always the biggest email abuser? 1st three emails in my inbox yesterday were the same three emails...original email sent out to the base distro list, the same email then forwarded to me from the shirt, and again from an ADO. It makes me want to punch a puppy.
March 7, 201312 yr 1st three emails in my inbox yesterday were the same three emails...original email sent out to the base distro list, the same email then forwarded to me from the shirt, and again from an ADO. It makes me want to punch a puppy. As long as it isn't a host-nation puppy and/or involve alcohol, I say go for it!

March 7, 201312 yr Office Space antics. Eight bosses (trust me, they are all your boss, even the enlisted ones), eight TPS report reminders... No, they are not. Sometimes, subtle reminders are all it takes to help everyone remember this very important fact.
March 7, 201312 yr I never had the motivation to create Outlook rules until I came back from leave last year. I had over 300 emails after two weeks of leave, and only 10 of them were important, or required my attention for some task. We call our first shirt and chiefs the "Spam Master General". Technique: delete ALL emails upon return from leave. If they are important, they will be resent
March 7, 201312 yr Additional technique: Autosort all e-mails with your last name in the body to a "people who care about me" box. Autosort all e-mails with your first name or callsign in to body to a "people I care about" box. Delete everything left in the inbox.
