CAT 5 will probably come off the 3rd floor and personally stab him in the face. It was just briefed at the SOCOM CDRT that disciplinary incidents/issues within SOCOM are rapidly approaching the levels they were at prior to the “period of reflection”. Not a good look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being jumped by a cougar and victimhood at the AJs scene definitely falls into “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” type situation. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some day he'll look back on this a realize it's the best thing that ever happened to him. A contracting officer should be able to do better than a .gov job.

Danger41 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Interesting. I’m about as far from working on nukes as it gets, but I find it interesting that it’s MSG and LRS that got the axe. I’d (perhaps ignorantly) assume that would have to do with the ability to deliver missileers to/from or something? It says it’s all classified results, but that just seems odd to me. Once again, well out of my lane so maybe I’m just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old instructor of mine used to be an EWO on BUFFs back in the 80s. He claimed that SAC used to keep a stable of O-6s on standby at Offutt in the event a wing failed an inspection. Said within hours of the failure the Wg/CC was relieved and his replacement was on a jet to the failing base before the day was out. Different AF.

LRS is responsible for a ton of vehicles and equipment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
