October 3, 20241 yr The sooner you understand that the Department of Defense is *the* biggest, fastest, most efficient way to spend taxpayer money, and that that's the purpose, the sooner it all makes a bit of sense 😄 Only sorta kidding... If there's a more expensive, more jobs-intensive way to have an effect on the battlefield, gosh darn it we owe it to the U.S. taxpayer to do it that way. Ask yourself this, how can I expend more of my SCL on this operation? Couldn't this CONOP call for more versions/personnel/fuel/airplanes in the stack? Anytime you try to make a DoD mission more cost-effective you're doing it exactly backwards. "Giving" weapons to Ukraine/Israel/Saudi/whomever-the-fuck = middle-class manufacturing jobs in 50 unique states + territories.

Words from bros that are AOCs is the place is now pure toxicity. Surviving the next 1-2 years is their only concern.

Heard the exact same thing from civilian staff bros, complete toxicity just waiting for him to fire someone. This is Slife's fault for protecting and enabling this sycophant.
October 7, 20241 yr In other news in a deployed theater near you, Chief mafia is back in full force policing patches instead of, idk, being Chiefs and looking after the welfare of airmen. More concern with that than how our Airmen are affected by Iran and Israel in arguably one of the most unstable times in the Middle East. How we don’t get our asses kicked by China is beyond me.

Hopefully some of the investigations going on can find a way to stick and get him out. He is out of touch.

The only way is when all the warriors out there tell the pussies in leadership something like, “GFY, we’re doing it this way and if you don’t like it, come on out here and strap a jet on and fly west.” There are some absolute retards in PACAF, and the counter will be the bros with a few good O-6s who get shit done the right way.

Retards is putting it mildly. Godspeed on finding a few good O-6s. They're too busy searching the snacko closet for unapproved patches (true story)..

Wars are won by the least incompetent military force. Also, two oceans and decent relations with your border buddies are a helluva drug. 🍻

I contemplate what would be different, had we spent $2 trillion on Mexico (and other Central American nations) instead of Afghanistan. That money certainly didn't win us the war. I think back to 2004 and deployments from then. That was a long time ago. If we spent $300,000,000 every DAY since 2004, that sum today would be... ... $2 trillion. That may have done something significant to preserve the dying Monroe Doctrine. Edited October 8, 20241 yr by HuggyU2

November 12, 20241 yr Gov PA across the board will always have the legacy of being horrible at their jobs. I think they may be even worse than Finance, and that’s saying a lot.
November 12, 20241 yr It doesn't have leaders like MG William Zana... An Army general’s final ‘walk’ at the Tomb of the Unknowns MG William Zana, the only guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to reach the rank of general, took a final guard shift on the night he retired. At exactly 10 p.m. on the warm, last night of May, MG William Zana received his orders and began his final guard shift on the smooth marble stone plaza at the center of Arlington National Cemetery. In two hours it would be midnight, a new day and new month. A new guard would relieve him at his post, he would march off the plaza and suddenly, instantly, be a civilian. But for the final two hours of his 37-year career, Zana wanted one last chance to stand a shift he had held as a young sergeant: keeping watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “I was Pvt. Zana when I showed up to the Old Guard,” Zana told Task & Purpose.“You know, all of us who raise our right hand and serve, there’s things that define you. First combat tour, first loss of personnel. For me, volunteering for and serving at the Tomb was absolutely both defining and shaping.” (Full story at the title link) I don't know the man, nor do I know much about his career other than what I read in his bio; but based on this article, I have the utmost respect for him!

I’ve seen several enter the Army warrant community in aviation and they will all tell you their time as a tomb guard was one of the must solemn moments of their lives performing that job.Bystanders also have no idea who is standing there performing the job because they intentionally don’t wear rank, which permits anybody to include very senior personnel to perform the watch as a Sentinal like the General did.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same thing with this A-Staff construct at the wing level.
