Meh, I'm glad some people feel that way. However, in our neck of the woods in AMC, not so much the case. Case in point: our "wingman day" is this coming Monday and our WING/CC has a full fun day of events planned for the wing, to include a #unity march (that's what he is actually calling it) to start the day, followed by an array of briefs from different "experts" on how not to kill yourself. This day will also include a "fair" with different base support agencies, the same ones who take 6 months to process PCS orders or forget to turn off your HDP even after you remind them 15 times and then ask you to come in to their office at odd ball times to fill out paperwork for indebtedness. All of this is going on while we have an unprecedented ops tempo with 3 different exercises, a deployment getting ready to go out the door, and several dudes coming in on weekends to catch up on work and hooking their checkrides because flying is obviously not a priority for "leadership." This is when we aren't doing the six iterations of CBRNE or SABC refresher for our upcoming surges. And they wonder why they have a retention problem? Then they have the nerve to send out all these surveys asking why pilots are leaving yet waste everyone's time having them show up to a freaking "#unity march" like we are a bunch of college kids from Berkley. A Major in our squadron said it best today: "I bet American Airlines doesn't have mandatory unity marches and briefings on how not to kill yourself"...

Uh why the fuck are we sending airman to clean commercial aircraft? Isn't that what these companies are supposed to be doing to thier own aircraft?

I’m gonna disagree with you on this one. When giving my buddy and three others their OG cert for IP, he threatened to downgrade them back to AC if they didn’t keep up with all the paperwork on local sorties. Not a bro...far from it in fact. My condolences to anyone that falls under the purview of his leadership.

This is the Air Force.

Who gets the cash?

Are you at Travis? This sounds like Travis. File a complaint with the 18AF IG. Or just send this to JQP. Maybe your Sq/CC could say “unable, here’s a laundry list of real-world reasons” and cc the world.

Now that’s fucked up

I think I’m pretty fucking good at flying. I guess I actually suck. And I’m a total loser and REMF dipshit because I’m a Major. This has been enlightening.

It's that time again . May drill will be our next UPT board. The rushing window is officially open - Feb 23-25 and Mar 9-11 are upcoming drill dates for visits. April drill the squadron will be on the road shooting missiles at Tyndall so get your visits in soon. Resumes and coordination still go to 122fspilothiring@gmail.com C'mon down!
