June 1, 201213 yr Holy shit, they use a lot of exclamation points in their emails!!!!!!!!!!! I can hear the excitement in their typing-voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 1, 201213 yr Author Apparently their professional development advice does not include the 3 exclamation point limit per OPR comment block.
June 2, 201213 yr Coneheads (quite a literal term in her case) get combat readiness medals, eh? Interesting... Why not?
June 4, 201213 yr Just got this gem blasted to me from the CGO All distro email......3000 hrs of "professional development"......ugh......and planning for a conference that will probably get cancelled again...sweet! I wonder if that guy is going to set up a FGOC now?
June 13, 201213 yr Buckets of self-importance found here. Leadership advice from Lts, and a "good idea" of starting an FTAC for officers. Pure brilliance. I remember realizing that this organization existed on the base I think when I was a senior captain. I cannot really explain why it took me that long to comprehend that it existed. I haven't really thought about it since, until this thread. Looking at that link, it appears pretty rough - on the verge of unbelievable. I've never been to a meeting, so maybe my initial flinch is a bit harsh. Reminds me of Arnold Air Society.

July 9, 201213 yr The two-week sports and recreation competition includes both team and individual events 1) Do people have to take leave to participate in this? 2) If not, why the hell not?? I have to take leave just to have enough time to write a paper or take a stupid f*cking test for my worthless master's degree... 3) An EFSS has time to participate in a 2 week fun and games exchange? Fitness superstars Ugh...
July 9, 201213 yr Only in there is a Hot Dog Eating Contest. Since it's from the CGOC, an expeditionary one at that, you can guarantee that some hot dogs are being chugged.
July 9, 201213 yr Author I have to take leave just to have enough time to write a paper or take a stupid f*cking test for my worthless master's degree... You're doing it wrong.
July 9, 201213 yr You're doing it wrong. Thanks for the heads up. Let me go ahead and put "Changing the system" at the top of my To-Do list so I can then do it right.
