When I was a captain I despised the thought of being an exec. When I was a major I politely declined the wing exec job when it was offered to me. Now that I'm a lieutenant colonel I hope that I can mentor the captains in my sphere of influence well enough without the understanding that I might have gained from that exec job. My job is no longer to be the best operator in the unit. I can damn sure hold my own but my time is better invested in developing the next set of leaders. It pains me to say this because the only thing that really matters is how you execute when the mission gets tough, but looking back on it I think spending 1 year out of 17 as the exec might have been worth it.

He's talking about 11Fs being highly desired in fighter billets as opposed to TAMI21 or whatever short-sighted program they come up with next, which cast 11Fs to the wind.

Just remember you CAN fly for 20+ years, having never been an exec, nor on a staff, nor attached. It can, and should, be done. You can do it!

He will at least deserve a worthy citation - Napoleon Tanerite distinguished himself for exceptionally valorous action in the face of overwhelming self delusion and rambling as the baseops designated footage recorder at the 15-69 class graduation ceremony. In the face of ultimate Queep, and surviving unbearable commentary, Tanerite overcame insurmountable odds - filming 6.9 minutes of wasted breath. His remarkable performance and selfless commitment to his Brothers-in-Arms undoubtedly ensured future generations of Air Force aviators could appreciate and ridicule the epic failure of 'he who's name will not be spoken' for eternity, thus preserving Air Force honor. His performance reflects the highest tradition of Air Force Pilot standards and reflects great credit upon himself, baseops.net, and your mother.

Not quite. There are procedures for these situations... U.S. Marines say they destroyed weapons before leaving Yemen ...and those procedures seem to remain the same as I was taught in boot camp. Marines do not surrender their weapons.

Are you fucking kidding me?

If this were results for SNCO, you couldn't make it to the AF Portal welcome screen without clicking past the splash page. Us lowly Colonel and Major selects can't even access the public release. Saying something isn't it?

I see your King of Jordan and raise you a Leader of the Free World.
