Met him many times, while he is flat out wrong in claiming the pilot shortage is solved, he’s the best CSAF we could have considering the other crop of HPO wonder GOs.

Skitzo Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 What's wrong with the Air Force? We pass over officers with impeccable combat records and no PT failures in the flying community, but put people like this into SQ/CC jobs in the MXG. I can't imagine how she will credibly counsel any airmen who fails a PT test under her command.I thought everyone still has to do the waist measurement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panchbarnes Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Don't we gripe against big blue's corporate fitness policy of focusing on appearance instead of performance? And now we want body shame and speculate on some random person based on a picture? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not shaming cause I really don’t care, just wanted panchbarnes to remain in his/her/them/em/per/ver/xem/hir/(f)aer’s safespace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 No one is body shaming. From what I am reading people are calling out people for what appears to be inability to meet professional required standards. And possibly because of being a woman some automatically get offended. Everyone wants equal treatment. We call out men who seem to be exceeding standards. Well even though the physical standards aren’t equal, when someone calls out someone else it isn’t body shaming or anti feminism. People who say it’s body shaming don’t understand there is such a thing as objective truth. Or don’t want there the be objective truth. Bottom line, said individual doesn’t look to be in professional standards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, said individual doesn’t look to be in professional standards. Further, I can believe the fitness standards are dumb, while at the same time being livid that this person can take command while being so wildly out of standards. Big Blue has told us that PT tests are important. I've seen people denied PCS medals over a failed PT test four years ago. I've seen people denied the ability to apply for WIC over a failed PT test seven years in the past. And then we put someone who can't put a PT test in charge. I don't know, maybe it's my own salt coming out that I never did anything wrong, never failed a PT test, did all the PME, etc...and this person who has either failed, or will fail, their next PT test is fit to be a commander, while the Air Force is telling me I'm in the bottom 25% of my year group by passing me over for promotion. I'd bet my next bonus installment that she makes Lt Col out of this command slot. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet she looks good on paper though, multiple volunteer of the year wins, with getting lucky squeaking by with a 76 every time so no one bats an eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher risk reward in the flying world, but at the end of the day you get to go crew planes and put warheads on foreheads. Do you really want to go back in time to commissioning and choose a non aircrew path to command? Not doing anything wrong does not a good commander make either. It just means you took care of what you can control, but it doesn’t mean you’d make a good commander. Not that you wouldn’t but one doesn’t necessarily equal the other.

Bottom line, said individual doesn’t look to be in professional standards. I have maxed the waist measurement points and scored mid-high 90s (with a few 100s sprinkled in) on every fitness test I’ve taken since 2008. But if you get a pic me from the wrong angle - namely this on-stage side-angle/face-forward pose, I could easily end up the laughing stock of the Air Force amn/nco/snco page as the fatty mcfatface officer who should have been kicked out years ago. My point: these uniforms do not mix well with certain profile shots. zb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I wasn't going to be a squadron commander within my own community, and they dangled squadron command of a CPTS out there to "all AFSCs" who applied for retraining. I figured I'd do the training, do a two-year stint as a CPTS/CC, then come back to the cockpit. But I was "too valuable" as an instructor to get released from my career field. Timing strikes again...we just cut four other IWSOs loose from Dyess for various things like the Multi-Domain Warfare thing and going to Pensacola to instruct...so now we're short manned again. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
