December 13, 20177 yr Just me or are there a lot of commanders getting axed this year? 375th WG/CC fired https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/12/12/wing-commander-at-scott-air-force-base-fired-after-5-months-on-the-job/ WS/CC fired https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/09/26/air-force-squadron-commander-was-fired-after-allegedly-drinking-on-duty/ This dude was screwing around with an E-4... on the surface it seems he deserved it. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/05/02/squadron-commander-at-moron-air-base-relieved-of-duty/ Thunderbirds https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/11/29/air-force-thunderbirds-commander-relieved/ Intel GP/CC.. alcohol related, but he was over the German limit by ~.001, and under our .08 limit. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/09/22/air-force-intel-group-commander-relieved-of-command/ Macdill WG/CC https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/10/09/wing-commander-at-macdill-was-relieved-in-july/ https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/11/14/air-force-security-forces-commander-at-nellis-creech-relieved/ https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/10/07/maintenance-group-commander-at-eglin-air-force-base-fired/ I've worked with or know a couple of these guys along with another one or two not listed who were fired this year.. all (that I knew) were great guys and highly respected. Shitty to see their career hit a brick wall.

December 13, 20177 yr More evidence to support my feeling that I have absolutely zero ambition to be a commander.

December 14, 20177 yr I’d rather see the AF firing commanders fired for being empty flight-suit, gutless, self-promulgating, incompetent douches in addition to cases like this. But then who would be left?

December 15, 20177 yr What happened to the Friday picture thread? And the WTF thread? And the leaving the AF for the Airlines thread?
December 15, 20177 yr What happened to the Friday picture thread? And the WTF thread? And the leaving the AF for the Airlines thread?Operation Morale Hammer
December 15, 20177 yr Operation Morale HammerWho at baseops would have got rid of these? And why? And when were they going to explain why? They were valuable resources. Kinda like the social media version of book burning.

IMHO, the "jig is up" and the forces of law and order plus punishment are on the way. In the not to distant future, nonconsensual woodies will result in UCMJ action and wont be tolerated in the USAF. The crackdown will start with the Enlisted/Company Grade Officers and eventually progress to Field Grade Officers. Note; E-9s/General Officers will be exempt from this woody hunt.
