Now the big question is to how can we stop this silly trend in AMC? Stop the PHOENIX programs. The CAF doesn’t do it, why would the MAF do it? Also keep people in their MDS’s. However AMC, and really the entire MAF, has a boner over making C-17 guys in charge of everything, however they have limited command billets. Which is why you see shitty people like Rat taking over a KC-135 Squadron and C-130 Wing for command as a career strart airlift guy. A running joke at Altus when I was there was if you’re the #1 tanker guy on base, you were really #15 on the base due to all the C-17 guys. Edited January 31, 20187 yr by Azimuth

But if we stop the Phoenix programs how will AMC know who the shinny penny’s are? Well I’m sorry if you have limited command billets. Look at the RPA enterprise. They have very limited billets. But they seem to have a problem with messing up the communities that they show up at. Now I get doing the Phoenix program as a young guy but bring them back to where they started. I’ve seen to many guys come into places and have a problem with flying tac vs just flying strat missions.

January 31, 20187 yr But without people who have been in multiple airframes, 6-9 years on staff, SOS DG, and ACSC in residence how can we have effective leaders and commanders?
February 11, 20187 yr How did the "Warrior Monk" let this slip past? DOD INSTRUCTION 1020.03: HARASSMENT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE IN THE ARMED FORCES

An investigation shall commence within 5 days. Expect prevention and response reeducation for your entire unit following shortly thereafter.
February 11, 20187 yr Is any other wing in AETC going for "full mission ready status"? Instead of reacting to increasing tensions with N Korea by focusing on making students that much better, we all have to do CBRNE, expeditionary active shooter training, etc. This is despite the AETC push within the past 12 months to protect all FTU aircrew from deployments. I'm pretty sure if there's a full blown war a) the production pipeline will still need to go on, and b) all that stuff would be waived anyway.

They'll find that the squadron fostered a "culture of insubordination" because you can't go stepping on the some individual's freedom of speech. It's the internet...which is basically a safe zone, right? Just fire the squadron commander, promote the wing commander, and move on.

And if you think CBRNE will be waived in your North Korea example, I think you may be mistaken.
February 17, 20187 yr Apparenttly these comments qualifiy as derogatoary, unprofessional, and is a 'microaggression'.

"He was never seen with a gaudy chain around his neck, his pants below his waistline, or with a backwards baseball hat on during public appearances,” Parish said.

Want to lose all credibility as a leader? Use the term “microaggresion”. #Triggered Also, STEP promote that shirt to E-9 ASAP!
February 18, 20187 yr microaggression. lol. how embarrassing for a Col to send an email with the word "microaggression" in it.

Our FTU is doing the same thing, despite shedding the DOC statement for x crews to support ops squadrons in an effort to make the most of our minimal manning. The things we're asked to do seem kind of random though...CST is a must, but we can't get any time to shoot the M9...

What’s more concerning is the undermining of a military force O-6’s, GO’s, and E-9’s do to maintain a fucked up political correctness.
February 18, 20187 yr “Jesus...” or... ”whatever higher echelon you sarcastically name drop when something unbelievable occurs...”
February 18, 20187 yr We must be more careful with our words. If we want our young leaders to be successful in macroaggressions during war, we must avoid exposing them to, and victimizing them with microaggressions. Edited February 18, 20187 yr by torqued
February 18, 20187 yr I much preferred the days when Academy staff used macroaggressions to show cadets what worthless maggots they were enroute to earning a commission and respect.
February 18, 20187 yr This is exactly why I avoid associating myself with that place. People wonder why grads are so cynical after they leave, this is why.
February 18, 20187 yr Given the PC culture our country has become over the last 10-20 years, are we really that surprised?
February 18, 20187 yr Tacking on stripes is now considered hazing, even pretending to do so. Para 3.5 https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/102003.pdf
