That is crazy. When I saw “disrespected subordinates” and “AFSOC General” I thought it was someone else...

Also, if the IG is looking, I’ve never pencil whipped anything on my flights.

I noticed that she got to keep her star.

Don't forget lesbian.

I can confirm as I saw it first-hand when it was still illegal. Not sure I could forget it if I wanted. However, she was pretty hot at the time (2 Lt in Turkey - long story), so I took no offense.

She’s a penguin! 

I'm old, what the hell is a penguin?

The question I have is if she will be quietly retired in the next year or so. If AFSOC needs her to keep being the face of diversity and keeps her on then perhaps we’ve further lost our way. 

In the bigger picture of AFSOC O-6/7s fucking up (reference CAT-5 crash landing an Osprey and then continue flying it after making the quick on-scene determination of “that shit’ll buff out) this is pretty small potatoes.  FWIW, I personally watched Fiel do the exact same flight hours shenanigans while he was the 58th SOW/CC back in 2004 and no one batted an eye, guess he didn’t have a pissed off subordinate and AF crimes run with the story.

The best part is she’s a ing CSO. What was she logging time to make her airline apps look better?

As a follow up, for anyone who’s having trouble accepting/can’t sleep at night with the thought of such a toxic and dishonest leader in our ranks, have no fear.  The incoming AFSOC/CC is well known for 3 things:

1. Interpersonal skills generally associated with people on the spectrum.

2. An intense dislike of pizza, Santa, kittens, and pornography.

and perhaps most importantly 

3. FIRING THE SHIT out of anyone he deems an incompetent or lacking in integrity (the CAT-5 incident mentioned above being the one round off paper in an otherwise very tight shot group over 25+ years).

Slife won’t give a fuck how many times scissor me timbers has been yelled or what level of diversity is represented, he’ll can her ass quicker than Clark Griswold climaxes over the thought of Light Attack in the USAF if he thinks she’s dishonest.

It’ll probably work itself out.

Was Slife the pilot on the CV-22?

No.

He was the Wing/CC.

Of course she did.

No one in the Gunship community that I’m aware of has anything bad to say about her as a leader. She did a good job at the 4th and several people, male and female alike, consider her a mentor. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Is there anyone *not* hoping that somehow gets turned off?

Hey man, the bandwagon is going the other way right now

😂😂😂 As I was. 

I’ve never directly interacted with her, but several people whose opinions I trust have good things to say about her. I’m surprised to hear about a toxic climate.
