On active duty, we call that the SARC.

This should be mandatory reading for anyone considering USAFA. What is it the zoomies say..."BOHICA"? F*ck that place. If you're smart enough to get into the academy, you can get an ROTC scholarship at a school for normal people.

Sure, when the plane's broke. Isn't that why the Academy has a jump team, to get them ready for ejection seat aircraft? No, I'm pretty sure the Academy jump school exists to provide grads with the USAFA Grad Badge (jump wings) so you can readily identify them once they are on AD.

LOL.

Why is everyone so upset, this type of system worked really well in the past. The Secret Political Department (SPO), in addition to running the general system of informants, operated special informants to infiltrate suspected counterrevolutionary groups. Finally, the Transportation Department (TO), and the Operational Department (Operotdel), also ran their own special informants networks. In addition to these networks a separate network of special informants operated under the GULAG administration in labor camps, colonies, and special settlements.

God I'm glad I went to a normal school.

You're a thickheaded one, aren't you? Enjoy continuing to be your commander's go-to bitch who gets all his "leave requests" denied. You're doing this to yourself. No one man is so fucking important that he can't take leave.

Like these bright-eyed kids know that when they decide to attend.

To the program, the rats, and the cover up.

My whole plan was to come home, enroll at ASU, and sign up for ROTC. So I visited with the detachment commander and was all set to sign up for ROTC. A few days before enrollment, I got a call from a mentor/friend who was a young United FO. He asked me if I still wanted to be a pilot and told me about a friend of his that was flying F-16s with "the Guard". "The Guard? Never heard of it. I'm sure they would have told me about it at the Academy if it was legit." "Just call my friend." I did, and enlisted a few days later. Learned a few rules that semester. Rule 1: Timing is everything Rule 2: Better lucky than good

I was a little bummed when I left the Zoo after only 4 short months... That is, until my 1st day on campus at Arizona State.

If you don't take your leave, you will kill yourself. Trust me, CBTs don't lie.

WORDS THAT ARE DIFFICULT FOR A PILOT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK: 1. Innovative 2. Preliminary 3. Proliferation 4. Cinnamon WORDS THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT FOR A PILOT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK: 1. Specificity 2. Anti-constitutionalistically 3. Passive-aggressive disorder 4. Transubstantiate WORDS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PILOT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK: 1. No thanks, I'm married. 2. Nope, no more booze for me! 3. Sorry, but you're not really my type. 4. No thanks, I'm not hungry. 5. I'm not interested in fighting you. 6. Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance. I have no coordination and would hate to look like a real fool! 7. Oh no, I must be going home now as I have to work in the morning.

A female Nav calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started." Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?" The girl says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster." Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster." He takes her hand and says, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then," he said with a deep sigh, we will put all the Corn Flakes back in the box,"

The kid was in my squadron, I would guess there is much more to the story than what he presents in this article. You only get recruited to "inform" on people if you got in trouble in the first place. The "you help us, we'll help you" type of thing. As for the demerits he racked up, he missed pretty much everything he would have to go to, even morning formation and breakfast....I doubt OSI would need to talk to him at 0630 and have him miss every formation possible. Also, the kid was the "runaway basic" he got nearly 200 demerits for that one event where he dressed up as a basic when he was sophomore and jumped a fence and ran away. The base sent out searches and I think they even locked down the base and basic training stopped ops. It was big deal and he got in a ton of trouble for it. I didn't know him all really well, but I would be careful in believing the things he is saying to the media. It took him months to get kicked out, longer than usual because he was pulling out every stop to get a chance to stay. I understand he would want to stay and if the story is true, I'd be pissed as well. But when you don't go to anything, don't do your job, and fail the PFT your firstie year, I'd say it wasn't his involvement with OSI that caused him to get kicked out. On another note, the informant "program" is an actual thing. If you're involved in a sketchy situation and can get more info, you help to inform OSI about what's going on and who's involved...pretty standard for law enforcement and investigation in general.I am very skeptical about the informant program as it is portrayed in the article, but cadets are used as informants if there's issues going on that they can help OSI with. Edit: clarified "informants" as used at the Academy
