When ever I feel like I'm a bad parent for accidentally stepping on my kids finger or something, a new YouTube video comes out and reminds me that I'm doing just fine.

Disruptive Thinkers and Opportunistic Leadership

If folks don't have a contingency plan in place by now (employment, using GI Bill for a real, worthwhile masters, beer liaison for the underaged, whatever), especially with all the writing on the wall (non-continuation for passed-over majors, budget cuts, RIFs, failed VSPs, drawdown in Afghanistan), then perhaps they're best served by fighting to stay AD as long as possible. Enjoy your 365 iTDY (or two) to a shithole. Hope that retirement is there in another 5-10 years. Hope that 18x pipeline gets up and running.

Since I got out on 30 Apr: - Not shave (not employment, more like a hobby). - I have a Reserve job flying T-38's - I have a CFI job at the local airport - waiting for an airline to call...I do have a tentative offer to get an Phenom 300 type and help shuttle some aircraft around...could be fun. - if I still need more cash, I'll work at Lowes part time (i LOVE that store) Bottom line: I have control over what I do and for how long I work there...when I don't like it anymore, I'll leave.

I love this comeback. I am separating soon and I get this question from the robots all the time, as if I am DOOMED!! I am sure it's just curiosity (morbid curiosity). But for the guys who will separate, they will figure something out. There are loads of opportunities.

Your mother.

Spend the day posting nonsensical posts on the interwebs.

Choke yourself, with my hand, fucking idiot.

Or having functioning sperm, technique only.

I think everyone agrees that the mission is first...when the flag goes up you grab your bag and deploy, child's graduation / wedding anniversary be damned! The reason people get ( I got) out is when, in their opinion, the pro's of the job / hacking the mission no longer outweigh the con's of being gone and the effect it has on the loved ones who stay behind for 6 months / 365 at a time. For me, it was the easiet choice I've ever made...guess that makes me a quitter! Cheers, Cap-10

The difference is that those of us in the MAF never operated under the misconception that any one gave a shit about us; that's why you don't see any of these letters from the tanker/airlift side of the house.
