Always disappointed when generals push this stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app does this include the "fly like a girl" patch? asking for a friend...
June 24, 20214 yr Girls can wear their hair in a pony tail now. Of course this doesn’t affect them negatively.

Same guy that said he had no details on the bonus, but then proceeded to give a "do it for God and country" speech, as a precursor to the release of a shitty bonus? I enjoy seeing people like that on “blacklists” companies have when they get out and assume they’re a shoe-in to be hired.

Either this or with a company with more than a few employees. I don’t have to like it, and neither do you, but these GOs will have zero problems getting hired by a legitimate business if that’s what they want. They have more influence and connections than you or I could ever dream. And with the defense industry/military industrial complex only getting larger, those businesses are even that more hungry for retired GOs.
June 26, 20214 yr Helo is right, no matter how big of a douche canoe they are, they'll have zero problems finding something on the outside. Douche canoes take care of douche canoes...there is no justice. I've saw an O-6 black-balled from pretty much everywhere he tried to go, and one of the (many) people he fucked over, flat out told him it was happening. He deserved every bit of it.

June 29, 20214 yr I haven’t been in AETC since 2011 but see Gen Wills interaction across the various Facebook groups so that’s all my knowledge. Why the hate for the guy? UPT evolution decisions or something else?
June 29, 20214 yr I haven’t been in AETC since 2011 but see Gen Wills interaction across the various Facebook groups so that’s all my knowledge. Why the hate for the guy? UPT evolution decisions or something else?I personally really like his act. I disagree with him in topics and have seen him interact with people in the bar who call him out. He’s polite, respectful and will share his view and admit it’s not infallible. Some people just love to hate leadership regardless. I respect the fact he’ll engage with the peasants. That’s more than many generals would do.
June 29, 20214 yr So what patch got banned in UPT land? We had a patch crackdown telling us what was allowed/not approved. I showed up Friday with my non-allowed patches. Went to wing level meetings, talked with a visiting DV, no complaints.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

June 29, 20214 yr I know it was years ago, but whenever I went TDY I always wore a TN Air Guard patch and never got hassle from anyone (even the guys who knew the active duty base I was tdy from). I'm sure the patch helped deter comments from those who might have tried to "chief" me outside my chain of command. Plus, I DNGAF what anybody said anyway outside my direct chain of command (and most of the time even within).

July 15, 20214 yr https://www.facebook.com/AFamnncosnco/posts/137126501869098 happened just like it says, can confirm, smdh.
July 15, 20214 yr Where's the Major or MSgt with a pair to call this douchebags bluff? I'd make sure to fill out the next ORM sheet exactly as written for my next few flights.

Hope this blows up on social media and this OG/CC gets publicly raked across the coals and fired by ACC leadership backed up by the CSAF. No offense to my ABM bros but is this OG/CC an ABM that has zero concept of aviation hazards and fatigue? Unless you’re in combat, an ABM not being able to do their job doesn’t kill lives.
