No, we can definitely give you tons of shit now. Because A) You're a fucking nav. and B) You voted for the clownshow.

He just showed up in T-38's....there is one FAIP in that flight.....I'll let everyone know how their first flight goes. Cheers, Cap-10

A little surprised Nickelback didn't make the list. I guess their songs aren't even good enough for that.

How would Warrants work any better in those positions that SNCOs/CGOs? As for a leadership problem in the USAF, no, I don't see it being much worse than I've seen it on numerous occasions in the past. Much of what the leadership gets blamed for isn't their fault. Do you really think this recent "PC" witch hunt was their decision? Do you think the budget cuts are their idea? Do you think all this whining and moaning is something new? I was around for "the good old days," and they weren't always that good all the time either. I'd be more concerned if people weren't whining...

This is important. We don't ever want to go back to air supremacy being in question.

Already happened: This was a documentary right?

Fantastic article! This made my day!

This is the best post you've ever made.

I had a commander that was prior Army. His input is that the AF system is better than the Army. As a commander in the AF he was also a tactical expert thanks to having that opportunity, so he could lead from the front. During his time in the Army he was a commander of a like sized unit with much less experience, and would defer to his senior Warrants on tactical matters. Bear in mind that it is very rare for a CGO in the Army to be an instructor pilot. Maybe the AF warrant officer corps is entered from the real life officer ranks(RLO, Army speak)? In other words, everyone gives a shot at the "command track" and those that don't meet that requirement but can still fill a need lose their rank and become the "warrants" how to pay said individuals can be up for debate. But the gist is getting to stay in after getting passed over is selective and individual versus mass year group, and you're gonna give something in the process. I don't know, just spit balling here.

Need that for World of Warcraft... where can I order?

Warrants aren't the answer, they are single-track specialty officers and while that may be appealing to someone who wants to stay in the cockpit his/her entire career; it doesn't answer our leadership issue (if there even is one). My suggestion is to allow them to grow beards. It worked during the Civil War and with Special Forces! Even a Pentagon study proves it! Cheers! M2

The USAF would benefit from a Warrant Officer corps.

The dominance in airpower we enjoy today is directly related to the sacrifices they made. I bet they would be proud. Can't wait to see this on TV.

Can't believe I watched all of it. Those Chinese had to have been smoking something good when they made that.

Burt Maclin had unfinished business.
