CAT 5 will probably come off the 3rd floor and personally stab him in the face. It was just briefed at the SOCOM CDRT that disciplinary incidents/issues within SOCOM are rapidly approaching the levels they were at prior to the “period of reflection”. Not a good look.

Some day he'll look back on this a realize it's the best thing that ever happened to him. A contracting officer should be able to do better than a .gov job.
February 28, 20232 yr https://apple.news/AZHlakA6nSvev7mfpdPCEIQ Bloodbath up at Minot today, anyone have more details?
February 28, 20232 yr That's tame compared to Bent Spear '07 for that base. That place is...radioactive. I'm here all week good night!!! *badum tsk* 😄

March 1, 20232 yr Interesting. I’m about as far from working on nukes as it gets, but I find it interesting that it’s MSG and LRS that got the axe. I’d (perhaps ignorantly) assume that would have to do with the ability to deliver missileers to/from or something? It says it’s all classified results, but that just seems odd to me. Once again, well out of my lane so maybe I’m just stupid.

Old instructor of mine used to be an EWO on BUFFs back in the 80s. He claimed that SAC used to keep a stable of O-6s on standby at Offutt in the event a wing failed an inspection. Said within hours of the failure the Wg/CC was relieved and his replacement was on a jet to the failing base before the day was out. Different AF.

LRS is responsible for a ton of vehicles and equipment.
