Grammar: the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

Douche of the year. Who actually read online SOS shit that was not gouge?

New Award winner for douche of the month. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2012/03/air-force-captain-says-squadron-coursework-has-chapel-reference-032812/

The Koala or the chick?

Wrong. If you speak/write like an idiot, you will be judged to be an idiot, especially when the only thing we have to base our opinion on is your spoken/written word.

But using a pronoun instead of a contraction isn't?

Recommend you guys don't go crucifying the crew from a flight discipline angle without knowing all the facts. "Hearing" that a maneuver is prohibited, or believing that a crew was not qualified to do something, and then all of the finger-pointing, "I-wouldn'ta-done-thats", and armchair courtrooming that goes with it is a bunch of crap....especially when the known facts don't yet support it. It doesn't frankly do anyone any good, except perhaps to satisfy some folks' innner superiority-complex-fueled need to point out someone else that appears to be doing something wrong (no different than the mindset of the uniform infraction zealots just waiting to pounce on the next untucked PT shirt or sunglasses on someone's nugget). Using Bud Holland videos as an example of poor airmanship and lack of flight discipline, and the disastrous potential consequences of those attitudes and actions, is excellent, because he is a well established, well researched case of it. I'd reserve snap judgment (and use of it as another example of poor airmanship and lack of flight discipline) on others, like this Apache video, until the actual facts are known. If it's eventually determined that they were in the wrong, then cleared hot. Until then, master arm safe to prevent frat.

It all depends on who you are. I speak solely for the T-6 side. We had a CC type for an SRO and they ludicrous speeded that mofo through. If I recall correctly the man was out the door in 2 months flat and leadership wasn't happy about [not finishing sooner] back home from what I heard. Isn't aircraft quals used for promotion fodder and careerism, irrespective of skill, a beautiful thing? For the rest, I dunno it's a mixed bag. Hell I only PAd one flying event, more of a scheduler's convenience move than anything, though I could have PA'd a lot more (Im fokin' awesome though ) and I still shaved 2 weeks off the program. PIT's a boondogle. A haze, a theater; a pantomime quite literally, actually. It's there mainly to keep the real weak swimmers away from a position of responsibility. For the most part it does the implied mission decently well (keeping weak swimmers from being the last link in the PIC chain) , but at the stated mission (teaching to instruct) it fails at it wholesale. And you know what? That's par for the course in my book. But it's a great PCS location and damn it we need good deals whenever we can get them. Surely those guys are not the only ones eating ice cream for a living, Shirley. The world is grey.
