Just saw an interview where Neller said, “the powers that be were almost like, ‘OK, ‘Neller. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osulax05 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyQuinn Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) 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, 2018 by HarleyQuinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homestar Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 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)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BashiChuni Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 “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.........
