Plenty of mid-level AF managers and ROTC wannabe bobs have destroyed careers and morale due to this whole thing. Unfortunately, they’ll most likely never answer for the damage they’ve inflicted on the force.

That’s great info. Luckily projos in my community have used that reg to fight for our ppl and it’s been mostly successful. The fact that we keep fighting the same battle every TDY is shameful though. It’d be nice to somehow pin posts like Bueno’s so the next bro trying to fight finance can find it easily.

I’m well aware the point of RF-A. Also, calling the gold rush inn a hotel is a huge stretch. Nothing more embarrassing then having other countries show up for an exercise and putting them in that dumpster fire. The good news is that’s not an option anymore because they’re housing ppl in the gold rush inn because no one realized they didn’t have enough housing to standup several new F35 sq. Try justifying $13/day to a 19yr old A1C that is working mids and has no food options because the DFAC hours won’t support the exercise hours. Crew chiefs are literally saving up money prior to the exercise so they’ll be able to buy food.

Dude, if you’re exercise is in PACAF then welcome to the priority AOR. Where they can justify paying you $13/day at Eielson because you’re on CED orders. If you don’t want to share a room on TDY then you can just stay home.

You probably know better than I that the AF is built upon regs that tell you only what you’re allowed to do. If you do anything outside what is specifically stated then you’re wrong. With this alone in mind I get the sentiment about wanting specific guidance. When I think about the sq, og, and wg/cc I’ve dealt with in the CAF, I have zero trust that they would have my back based on this memo. Obviously I can’t speak for AMC. I saw it when the approval to roll-up sleeves started and we had dudes carrying around the memo so they could tell chiefs to get bent. I’ve heard numerous stories about chiefs arguing with CGOs about how it’s not allowed because the reg hasn’t changed yet. This was rolling up our ffing sleeves mind you. I’m sure you’ve heard similar stories. The “if the reg doesn’t make sense, then do what makes sense and we’ll get the reg changed.” was a warm fuzzy for about 6.9 sec. Standing infront of the Bobs and explaining why we should violate a reg. because it’s the right thing to do for the sq/training etc, when you know all they care about is getting that school slot is a daunting thing for a young Capt. Bottom line. I have zero trust in the majority of individuals in leadership positions that I’ve dealt with in the CAF. CGO/FGOs need actually backing to make these changes because when the bros don’t trust their local leadership they need something specific and definable to back-up their thinking. Otherwise it’s onto the shit list and guard life here we come.

His most notable contributions were pushing toxic policies in relation to COVID. Although, he’s been shockingly absent in that thread as of late…

Simple, their guy won. What’s the harm in a little help from social media companies if it prevented DJT from remaining in office. It’s all okay because it was done to “preserve” democracy.

Turns out towing fat Amy whilst the parking brake is engaged doesn’t workout well, gear pin or not.

Word is the NGAD is arriving the first of next year with the SR-72 forward deploying to Guam to replace 82nd RC-135s.
Others that have been stuck there for the duration of covid would disagree.
Russia was Ukraine’s second highest trading partner in 2019. Hopefully that’s recent enough. The enemy gets a vote. 99% of the U.S didn’t know Osama Bin Ladin was their enemy on Sept 10, 2001. As I said in a previous post and others have alluded to, China has declared the US it’s greatest adversary for the past 70 years. You may not view them that way but that’s how they view us, and they get a vote. Luckily a few ppl in the DoD/gov know this and are preparing. To your question on the president and energy/inflation, which has no bearing on this conversation, I’d say don’t put much stock in someone losing their senility. I’m sure stopping trade with a primary trading partner would create uncomfortable implications for the US. However, in the examples I listed above the mass deaths of thousands of US soldiers usually outweighed the rationing of tin and copper for common folks.
In 1914 Britain and Russia we’re Germany’s largest trading partners. In the years leading up to Pearl Harbor the US was Japan’s number one trading partner. Britain was the primary trading partner to the 13 colonies. They were also the primary trading partner to the U.S. prior to the war of 1812. Ironically, a war fought over, among other things, trade. I hope you’re trolling, because I can’t imagine an officer in the AF having such a short sighted point of view. Oh wait, yes I can, they’re usually the bobs.
China is our enemy because China, specifically the CCP, has decided we’re their enemy. Not that recommending someone on the internet go read a book ever actually worked, but you might take a look at The Hundred Year Marathon by Michael Pillsbury. They’ve been telling us for 70 years we’re their greatest enemy and we (the collective we), have been too busy trying to make money off them to actually listen.
If I recall class sizes in T-6s increasing by about 30% didn’t help the Vance bros back then. T-38 classes increasing from the norm of 3-4 studs to 10-11 with no increase in IP manning wasn’t super helpful either.
Can’t imagine the AF would make drastic manning decisions before congress decides on divesting an airframe. That doesn’t sound realistic at all..
Which is crazy considering they got rid of every public trash can in the country.
Feeding the troll isn’t worth the effort gents.
The apologists did not disappoint.
Standing by a rebuttal from the vaccine apologists in the crowd..
I can think of multiple reasons why you’d stay in schertz, and the all start with HEB.
“What do you mean some people?” - those ppl, probably In all seriousness I’m actually interested to hear the response to this news from the non-conservatives on here.
