The spirit of being an exec may be grooming and such, but let’s be honest that it has morphed into a way to reward certain guys for their administrative skills. Additionally, look at a rack and stack and see where the wing execs fall. You honestly think that the best a Wing has to offer goes there because that’s where they belong? It has totally become a box to check if you want to be successful in the Air Force’s eyes. *Break Break* Hypothetical question for the masses and Pawnman. With your revelation that you have been in your same wing forever and have been submitting yourself for awards every quarter, do you think your “P” allocation had anything to do with that? From a completely outside and neutral source, if I saw a guy doing that, I would think he was a douche. Your reasoning makes sense, but do you think that is an unintended consequence?

I was in one of the last UPT classes with the white helmets 86-87.. Part of UPT tradition was we designed a class patch, and also a class Helmet design. Nobody flew with a plain white helmet.

Mentored to be like the current crop of yes men with a additional learning experience in how ass backwards leadership priorities really are....

There can be a lot of secretarial work in an exec job, but in many cases, that person is surrounded and mentored by multiple O6s and above, as well as interactions with the group and squadron commanders. Its a good learning experience on how things work and what sort of information our bosses and above actually care about.

Probably because it's in the wrong spot...the switch is normally on the yoke/wheel/stick because it's used so much. More convenient that way, ya' know.

This is a trailer for a movie being done in Taiwan about the 28 Taiwanese Blackcats from the U-2 Program back in the 1960's. Gen Hua is about 93 now, and you'll see a guy names Louis Setter. Lou was the 10th pilot to fly the U-2. We had 5 of the Taiwanese pilots come to our reunion about 15 years ago. Pretty cool. One guy was shot down and taken prisoner by mainland China. He was kept prisoner for something like 20-30 years. When China finally released him, Taiwan wouldn't take him back. Fortunately, we allowed him to emigrate to the US.

Turns out it's not as bad as we think, rescheduled drill approval will be at the CC level as long as they are at the benefit of the government. If we forced everyone to show up for drill, we'd had have a bunch of non-current dudes because we just don't have the capacity to fly them all...and our part-timers are not going to come out even more days/month. On to huge upside we're getting 72 AFTPs, with a max 24/qtr. So as long as it's not another bait & switch like a few years ago, this change should be rather positive.

You should have a copy of your signed your PRF--what exactly did your push line say?

Or replace/swap-out those "fictitious:<)" assets? IMHO, when it comes to B-XX mod 3/4 (12?) assets, that are covered under the US (NATO) Nuke Sharing Arrangements - Turkey currently rates no higher then a stash of BDU-38's (A.K.A B-61 Reusable - Practice Bomb's).

Seemed like the logical condition that precedes Turkey leaving NATO.

Well how did you think they were going to pay for those bonuses?!

Buying stock in Boeing.

Given the state of Boeing, it's not just the military industrial complex that worries me. Hope he doesn't bring the Boeing mentality with him...Fire the engineers and hire lawyers, keep putting lipstick on a pig, then sue/appeal to the government any time you get beat out or are challenged. Just over 2 years to...

Yeah, tens of people love Eielson.

Go team you!

If you thought chemtrails were just a government conspiracy in mind control wait until your eyes are opened to the truth!

My money is on scissoring the help.

It’s reminding me why I took a hiatus from this forum.

Nah, Bran isn’t ISR, he’s cyber. Hence why he didn’t see it happening.

No no no.... I clearly remember the guy at the front desk said all weapons are carried internally. 😂 🙄

Hey Bashi - Go fuck yourself. Here we are trying to compare records, trying to decipher the promotion system, trying to honestly answer the questions we're asked, and you want to shit on people who put their cards in the table.

Pawnman can you tell us more about how great your record is? - baseops

No, I think my P was a consequence of my WG/CC having zero DPs to give. If he thought I was a douche, I don't think I would have gotten a top 10% FGO strat or a "Super P".

Damn dude I’m not the one who gave you the “P” chill out compare records all you want... but you come off as a huge tool every time you stroke your own record-cock on here
