It’s been awhile, but my staff work was at least 85% classified, and a fair amount of that was TS/SCI.

I did know a couple of guys in special access programs that had secure phones at home, is that done these days?

Can classified work can be be done from home in today’s Air Force?n

 

 

Wasn't an issue for Hillary...

    This reminds me of last time we deployed. We took a 777 contracted rotator out to the desert.  All of us were waiting for hours of course in the pax terminal.  There was this sadistic Lt Col who was t

  • This could go in the other thread but the AF did give me, average joe, non shiny penny, IDE via correspondence only a shot at running a squadron a few months back. So far so good. And for the record

It is possible to do classified work at home but from my experience you either gotta be really special or really senior. 

I never thought you could until my spouse (GS) got issued a tablet, however it is limited to Secret and cannot save anything to the tablet itself basically a virtual desktop portal.  Not sure how common it is but she works on staff of a senior official .

We have a similar setup on the JS. It's decent for staying aware of events via email while teleworking but otherwise terrible for doing any real work. We cannot even access our remote drives or desktops. 

Amazing that an airman can be prosecuted for improper courier procedures or for wearing a Fitbit into a vault while a person deemed important enough can basically live in a state of constant spillage.

We were offered SIPR laptops to work from home during the first year of COVID. I declined, didn't want to deal with it really.

How is wearing a Fitbit considered improper courier procedures?

Congratulations to another Weapons School class graduation but special congratulations to the 14th WPS (AC, MC, CV, U-28 and formerly 53) on 20 years. They had a good collection of old patches and got some great history from a former commander and plank holder of the squadron last Patch Night. Great history and here’s to 20 more!

So many stories beyond what is in the write up for that. I’m very proud to have been a member of that squadron back in the day.

There was a big push a few months ago for groups/squadrons that submitted decs for actions directly supporting the evac to re-submit as a bunch were denied without any due diligence for reasons that you could probably come up with if you use your head.

“Just doing their job”? Don’t recall my hundreds of combat sorties involving anything quite like the Kabul evacuation.

Draco has done many incredible things through the years, much of it unrecognized.  A toast to them for some much deserved recognition.

I miss UTTR.   The AF got it right there.  

Enjoyed all of my mini training deployments there.  

Helo ops support there was on point.  

 

Edit:   These dudes.

Afterthought

There’s still leaders in the AF that do right by their people and who give a shit about getting the mission done.  Never worked for/with Mini but glad to see a guy who had such a positive impact on his formation go out with style.
