Pretty much. Big Blue is obviously lacking in many facets, but one thing they'll never fuck up is knowing when they have someone by the balls.

Doubt it. Why would they? You're not going anywhere.

The irony. Promo boards never see the FEF! And many of those deployment Q3s were viewed as spiteful by the home unit, so... those just make for interesting airline interview stories. SWA inteviewer: TMA your Q3. Dude: I wore a baseball cap while flying troops from A to B. Commander Douche saw it and didn't like it. SWA: Yeah, what a douche. Say, what was his name so we can blackball it? Out

Indeed.com usually has a bunch of engineering jobs, that might be a good start. Not sure if it costs anything to put an ad on, though.

Prepare to hurry up and wait... And wait some more. In all seriousness, check out airforceots.com. They have pretty good information on there.

Any home-station CC worth the title would (a) call the deployed commander and tell him he's a douche and (b) accidentally misplace the Form 8 so that it regrettably could not be included in the FEF going forward....

The people who were on the ISIS hit list had done interviews and stories for PA. All they did was Googlefu their name and what base their from and they eventually found their address. I wouldn't want PA vetting anything.

Valid.

Ten bucks says someone made an OPSEC complaint because it showed the ramp. But that was a damn impressive video with great editing. A lot of work and planning must have gone into that.

They'll never learn and always be reactionary vs proactive. They've spent 15 years fat, dumb and happy kicking out good people because they didn't fit the mold of what they think would make a good GO. The fact of the matter is they need experienced FG'rs in the 12-15 yr range to be line pilots and experts in ops and their MDS. Unfortunately those are all the guys/gals they passed over because they did 3 flying assignments in a row and didn't get their masters degree. They kicked these people out and/or let them out via PC/VSP. Now I'll sit back with a bowl of popcorn and watch. They're not going to be able to do jack squat with what is about to happen.

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Ray E. Wilson, Jr. (821221), Private First Class, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty while serving as a Rifleman of Company I, Third Battalion, Twenty-Sixth Marines, FIFTH Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, 14 March 1945. When heavy and accurate machine-gun and sniper fire held up the advance of his company and inflicted severe casualties in his platoon, Private First Class Wilson volunteered to act as guide for the tanks after his Company Commander requested tank support. Exposing himself to hostile fire near the tanks to use telephone communication with the Tank Commander, he crept and crawled over fire-swept open terrain for fifty yards to reconnoiter and to guide the first tank into an advantageous firing position. After firing tracers at the enemy machine gun nests to indicate their positions, Private First Class Wilson returned three times and led the remaining tanks to previously reconnoitered positions, on each occasion, in full view of the Japanese and under the continuing hostile fire. After maneuvering the four tanks into position for more than one hour, he moved forward with the company and continued to guide and direct the tanks although he was seriously wounded in action. His initiative, unselfish courage, and indomitable fighting spirit were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. Story basically went that a week before graduation they asked all the candidates "do you have any VIPs coming to graduation." Now VIP is typically E9/O6 and above and somebody always has somebody. Well my uncle didn't think about it since neither of the Marines he was expecting made E9, though granddad was close. Morning of the graduation he says one of the Sgt Instructors just exploded at how he didn't tell them who was coming. And he was like wtf are you talking about. And out on the parade field there sits uncle Ray under the nice shaded area with all these high level O-grades in dress while he's just sitting in a suit and they are shaking his hand and even some of the Sgt instructors and staff are going over to pay respect to the man. Paul had no idea Uncle Ray had received a Navy cross, but apparently there was this one full bird who was kicked off the dais to sit in the sun with the normal people who was just over himself to be apologetic about not wanting to give up his seat when asked.

What an awful attitude! If anyone wants to leave they can go! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
