February 15, 20196 yr If it was an aviation related incident, I'd understand the curiosity. But it's not, and this effectively just gossiping. Why does anyone here care?

We Talk Mistakes, Redemption, And Leadership With Commander Who Fired First Female Demo Team Leader People are not the sum of their mistakes, they're the sum of their experiences. Great read and honestly I can see why people speak so highly of him. I just hope he remembers when he got a second chance and, if possible depending on why she was removed, pays it forward to SiS.
February 15, 20196 yr Well, this must be the first time that someone who reads Baseops.net has been the subject of a roiling speculative discussion about some publicly embarrassing, scandalous event that happened to them, and that person has had to just sit back and watch the spears get baselessly thrown around. I don't know anyone who has had that experience.Hmmm...yeah...weird...me either.
February 15, 20196 yr Interesting... We Talk Mistakes, Redemption, And Leadership With Commander Who Fired First Female Demo Team Leader Eh. He seems like a great dude, but he's also enabling a narrative that offense alone justifies the punishment. If he really got career-ending paperwork, that means an LOR. The same punishment given for sleeping with a maintainer, abusing the GTC, DUI (in the old days)... All because we are now supposed to pretend that we all subscribe to this new definition of political correctness, we all feel so bad for the things we said in jest amongst friends, we all care more about hurt feelings than being in a job dedicated to murdering foreigners who want to murder us. He works with a surprising number of O-6s and O-7s who have DUIs. So it shouldn't be that shocking he recovered from making a harmless video with a penis puppet. The real question is would any of his subordinates recover in today's Air Force? Probably not. But we got from then to now thanks to two decades of military leaders pretending that humor, drinking, youthful stupidity, sex, and bravado are mutually exclusive to training idealistic young adults to dedicate their lives to a profession rooted in death.
February 15, 20196 yr Hmmm...yeah...weird...me either.I actually think I escaped the baseops peanut gallery during my ordeal... So there's hope!
February 15, 20196 yr This nerd Rogoway’s touching himself to the idea that he got this O-6 to have to close the loop with him.
February 15, 20196 yr Hell that Rogoway probably gets off to this forum. Bet he has a great, “I woulda been a fighter pilot but...” story. Now he spends his time writing broad stroke factually incorrect aviation articles inbetween creating dirty tissues and Microsoft flight sim. I respect all that I work with that is the common respect men and women in uniform should extend each other as we are in this together for the greater good of something better than all of us. Sis don’t know what ya did and unless it’s going to come out in a safety brief don’t care to hear about it, her stardom probably had more to do with public affairs and others than her jumping into the spotlight. We all have seen good dudettes hit with that before. Maestro video had already been debriefed no way should be coming up again. As lord ratner pointed out we are in the business of killing people and if that offends the outside masses that stumble upon it then let me recap some of my deployment high lights the last 8 years see if that makes ya feel better. Chances are the offended are more apt to be ignorant and comy at home drinking shitty lattes. Political correctness can suck it and we as professionals should have the backs of or fells bros and bras until they have violated our trust and bond.

Ready - fire - aim! The AF has long since become not just a "One Mistake Air Force", but actually a "One Perception Of One Mistake Air Force." You'd be surprised how frequently a CDI, conducted by someone basically untrained and containing evidence and information unconstrained by any functional legal standard, is used for quite severe administrative actions under the authority of the Commander -- actions which, too, have such a low legal standard for evidence and justice so as they may effectively be given based on the whims of that Commander.

A low legal standard which is reviewed by JAG’s of this caliber. https://afcca.law.af.mil/afcca_opinions/cp/khalji_-_39304.u.pdf Administrative action is just a fancy way of saying, “I don’t have enough for a beyond reasonable doubt legal standard conviction with this issue, but I can still tank your career anyway since I don’t like the alleged conduct you’ve displayed.” Edited February 20, 20196 yr by Sua Sponte
February 21, 20196 yr Ah man, not Zippy T! Another good one under the gun, hope it works out for him and was erroneously alleged.
February 27, 20196 yr I thought another commander was about to be fired, then I realized this was just a poor attempt at drawing an arrow on the picture!
