  • I legit feel bad for CSAF candidates that are anything but straight, white fighter pilot males. If one of them gets picked (happened to Gen Brown), everyone will glom onto their skin color/gender/orie

Prototypical C Model Eagle driver....need I say more?

As a former black border C Model patch from Cruiser’s timeframe….I can’t argue with ClearedHot.

Do companies know what POS/D-bag/use your favorite adjective they’re hiring with these types and just don’t care, or are they ignorant to it because they only read the resume and heard what they needed to hear in the informal/formal interviews. How is a guard unit so much better at vetting people than billion dollar companies.

Access is all that matters, which might come back to bite them in the long run.

Probably cronyism.  Thing is, the WH/DoD is not on his side, so why hire what amounts to a burning sack of shit into your company?  Anyone here think Hesgeth loses track of him and the company benefits from his hire?  Bold strategy, Cotton.

Trump and Hegseth have signaled potential obstacles to post service employment...we shall see if it happens.

I was an SVP at a company and they sent me to the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC for a senior executive leadership development program.  While I was there I met a lady who newly hired to be our company CIA account VP.  Her name sounded familiar so I googled her and discovered she was one of the 51 that signed the Russia Intel Memo about the Hunter Biden Latptop.  I was absolutely stunned, does anyone bother to check these things?  Trump was elected and he revoked her security clearance, she was gone the next day.

God damn that's delicious.

I think this about the 5th cycle of colored shirts and name tags in my career. Thankfully I’ve been able to mostly ignore all of the knee jerk decisions and keep doing the right thing: morale shirts and call sign name tags (and no hat/sunglasses on head), as God intended.

How's this affect the TDY name tag? Will the McGroin brothers, Pat and Phil, reappear?

To whom it may concern.

Will the person at the O-club Friday night who drew dick pics in our flight caps please provide new hats.

Sincerely,

Col. Harry Balzac & Col. Hugh P. Ness

Barry McCockener drew the dicks in the hats.  

Barry name tags and dicks in 4 stars’ hats (and also their backup hat, suck it exec!) Those were the days.

I heard it was Ben Doverbich.  

I still have that one tucked away in the safe.  At the request of the Air Force Museum it will go on display in Dayton when I fly west.

Michael "Mike" Hunt was a good dude.
