Anyone reading this on the leadership track. Figure out when to play and when to say stop...

See that's the thing, leadership track and stop, are mutually exclusive.

Former 1C in the squadron got out after his enlistment and became a police officer back in his hometown. He was killed in the line of duty two weeks ago. Some bros made a variant of the normal squadron pen tab with a thin blue line across it to honor his service and sacrifice. The two-star on base saw it and instructed everyone to stop wearing it because it’s “too political.”

Military showing support for law enforcement is bad? Never mind the personal aspect of that particular patch. What a dickless cock-waffle. 

[bfargin]

that instruction would be "forgotten" immediately

[SurelySerious]

What a dickless cock-waffle. 

He attained that status well before this incident.

Post the name.  That pronoun is a cuntfart and should be treated as such.  I haven't slapped something in a while and I'm due.  If you're a 2-star, you are no longer shielded by  the "military official" BS.  Who is it?

Did someone ask said two star when and why he got castrated?

Recruiting is down for all services and of course they are all lowering standards.  I could care less if you've smoked a blunt, given the shifting national attitude marijuana use will likely go the way of alcohol.  However, until then, the law is the law and we are a country of laws...oh wait.

Didn't we get rid of questions about past marijuana use a while ago?

Generals can tell a lot of airmen (airlings woke verbiage?) to f themselves.  Who is the General scared of offending, cop killers?   Another useless “leader”.  I’m offended lol.  I think people in the future will discover the movie “Idiocracy” and give Mike Judge a Nostradamus like status.

Provide location & general -- or is that “too political.”

Dillon Vakoff -a former 1C for the 96th BS at Barksdale- was something that was right in the AF, and a good person that the Red Devils enjoyed on their team.

But I think skibum, and other inquiring minds, wanted someone to out the General Officer that was chiefing people for their patches.

According to google, the 8th AF/CC is a two star at Barksdale. Maybe?

I'd argue you can tell he's a dumbass just by his decision to transition to the B-2 from the A-10.  Are you kidding me, from having a blast flying low and shooting shit to flying at altitude with 30 degree bank angles.

Just like I'm immediately suspect of a guy whose been in 2+ Guard squadron, I'd be suspect of someone with that many airframes in their career.  Maybe he was transitioned...

If I would "try" to find justification for the General, I would look into AFI 1-1 ( AFI that is ignored by everyone all the time)

Ha, you’d be suspect of most senior leaders at AMC. Can hardly make GO unless you do a touch and go on every fat girl aircraft.

I hope it wasn't Buffy as it does not match his character (I've been wrong before).   I've known him since we were WIC instructors, legit good dude back in the day.  As I recall the decision to transition to the B-2 was not his and he did make the most of it by being initial B-2 WIC Cadre.

You’re wrong here.

Not saying he did it. But it absolutely matches him.
