Commanders are dropping like flies this year

Not a firing but it sounds like the military lost a good one this time around.
Col. Bode of 959th Med Ops Squadron, JBSA resigns the day before change of command stating in an official letter "leaders throughout the chain of command were aware and did nothing to stop illegal, immoral and unethical actions."

Is in normal to make fluff videos for new commanders?  I don't know the guy but it seems a bit weird to make a video praising what a good commander you're going to be.

No. That was super douchey to watch. 

So there's quite a bit on amn/nco/snco about this one I just noticed. Apparently this is related to a security incident 1-2 months ago and the wings reaction to it. If I recall, it's related to amn/nco/snco publishing some flight line footage of a damaged aircraft but I can't find the complete post trail.

It’s hard to tell if the amn/nco/snco page is for or against the Col, but it’s a fun read regardless.

Not sure what he is like is now or why he was fired but FWIW, I was in the 35 FS "The Pantons" at the same time as him in the mid '90s and he was a super good dude back then.

I'm not bashing the dude.  Just an observation from an outsider looking in.  

I don't remember watching incoming WG/CC videos though.

Seems like a standard PA video where they probably think they nailed it while everyone else cringes. I wouldn’t put too much of it on him. Too bad to hear, second firing down there this year. 

Cool.  

I don't like chucking spears at people I don't know.   

I can't imagine it's a good time to be a commander.  At least we had deployments to escape the queep. Too many people hanging around the squadron can't be that much fun.

Which deployments did you go where you were able to escape the queep? I want to go on those..

The most queep and E-8/E-9 debaucherry I ever faced was downrange.

Touche.

I guess it was easier for me to not care while deployed.

Go forward enough and you can espcape it for the most part.  Just have to be somewhere bad enough that nobody wants to come "visit".

You lose the “good dude back then” credit the second you pin on O6. 
 

after those eagles come on it’s “fuck him” until proven otherwise. 
 

seen way too many “good dudes” become toxic fucks once they make rank.

I’ll remember your comments when you pin on O-6 MS69.

Rank/power doesn’t change someone, it exposes them. If they are toxic as an O-6 then they were toxic before, it’s just no one noticed.

I think it's far more common that these assholes are toxic way back as captains. 

It's rare that someone's entire personality changes when they are put in a position of power. Rather, they no longer have to hide the toxicity from they're peers/bosses.
