You’ve been out here wanking for 38 years. We’re going to make you own this.’” Which is awesome. Dude, I don’t care. Was just giving you a hard time for the statement.

August 6, 20187 yr Travis Wing King for a month just got fired. https://www.travis.af.mil/News/Article/1594807/60th-air-mobility-wing-commander-under-investigation-for-alleged-misconduct/
August 6, 20187 yr That’s 3 Wg/CCs from 18AF in the last 6 months. We (The MAF) need to make some serious changes to how we pick our future leaders. Hint, professional execs turned Phoenix Horizon or even worse Torch ain’t working.

Hint, professional execs turned Phoenix Horizon or even worse Torch ain’t working. Good, drain that swamp. Seriously. Eliminate the Phoenix program and input a few FSS airmen and officers as execs (they would do a better job anyways.). Excelling in leadership in your primary duty and airframe should be the key discriminator in who we select for senior leadership. The CAF seems to have figured this out, aren’t most CAF CCs and DOs weapons officers?

August 7, 20187 yr An old timer posted this in the comment section for that article. "It is a sad state of affairs in the Air Force when our leaders are relieved of duty. Obviously the leadership who is selecting the new leaders are making bad decisions. When I was in the Air Force 1971-1997 I really can't think of any commander that was relieved of duty. Now it seems it happening almost every month." Is it just me or does the AF feel like it is turning into the Cleveland Browns... Edited August 7, 20187 yr by HarleyQuinn

August 7, 20187 yr Check out this one: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/08/06/fired-marine-co-was-high-risk-aviator-obsessed-flight-time-probe.html Not Air Force but holy crap! When your wing commander wants out to goto the airlines more than you do, you know you're F'ed!
August 7, 20187 yr From the article: Coppess once "rose his flaps at a non-standard time," according to a witness, and on another occasion "warmed a burrito on the exhaust duct of the aircraft." I mean, who hasn't cooked a burrito on the exhaust duct? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course, that old-timer was also in at a time before Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram allowed the most junior airmen to throw spears at their most senior leaders in a public forum...

September 28, 20187 yr Yep https://www.stripes.com/news/us/air-force-general-to-retire-after-probe-finds-misconduct-1.549450“failed to properly report information about suicide attempts through his chain of command four times; used a government vehicle improperly and failed to report the value of autographed photographs that celebrities gave him” Wonder which one really got him fired. (Sarcasm) Seems like most are forgivable in this day and age, except one. Had to be the autographed photos right?

October 5, 20187 yr “One unidentified airman was so upset about the retirement ceremony that he left his daughter’s birthday party to go to another airman’s house to discuss the problem.” lol. Wow that’s mad. Going to a friends house to sport bitch. But seriously that col sounded out of control. Reminded me of another O6 in AFSOC.........
