  1. Pretty sure it's up their with the group sex+video case that got the news last year as well.

    Not only did I write my own PRF (for Capt, no less), it got kicked back multiple times to me from the O5 exec for word-smithing corrections. My Navy supervisor was amused since once they hand-off to an upper level all corrections take place their. Then I got to fill out the stupid f#cking paperwork for the SR to rack and stack. You know, the excel spreadsheet with PT score, Master's progress, awards, etc. Plus the other excel spreadsheet where I listed each line of the PRF, and which OPR they came from...then highlighted the lines on the hard copy OPR's that got routed up. I'd like to say this was because I'm joint right now. But the O5 is an AF pilot who had to do this for exactly 2 officers.
  3. Guess it's a good thing we got that whole Civil Rights thing figured out before "Obey the Law" became the mantra of the day. Stop and frisk a good idea too?
  4. Guess that freedom of assembly thing only applies when the cops want it to.
  5. Maxim is considered adult in my workplace. We got a memo on it from some J3 Col. Didn't the gestapo morality officer stop by your office and check your porn papers too? EDIT to add that we're not allowed to watch R-rated movies at work anymore either.. on mids.. with all bros. In fairness someone put up Hostel on the big screen.. that guy.

    Oh yes, got to spend time with them at Keesler.

    If GC's posts don't have numbers you can just skip them.
  9. That's a bold strategy Cotten, lets see if it pays off for 'em.

    Along the lines of District 9 innuendo of apartheid/racism? Took kids to Turbo, they thought it was great and I didn't hate it at the end.
  11. Another back patting survey or one that won't get results released. "Col Sh*tforbrains, I see you've driven your people into the ground. However, you got an excellent on that Inspection. Have a star." They don't look at changes in retention based on who's in charge. They don't even really look at real mission accomplishment half the time, at least in Cyber. Just "nice to haves" and super lucky breaks. I've yet to see a survey in the AF not twisted into statistical hell, or used to improve anything actually impacting the Airmen. I HATE these survey's.
  12. As loath as I am to defend a Klingon, this really isn't unpossible. Listening to you guys talk, even the balanced individuals, leans me heavily into the later portion of your comment. Even more when I remember what happened with you all and VSP. Approve.
  13. Better than being 270 days from eligibility... Well nevermind then.. damnit!
  14. What is this magical time of which you speak?
  15. I went through commissioning and the spouse and a few others went through training with him. I'm painfully aware of his.. quirks. Wasn't aware of a civil suit, I just thought the timing was bad, and if anything was going to come of it/your guys thoughts. He's the last person we need as the face of AF sexual assault.
  16. So this happened and appears to be getting a lil traction - https://www.guardian....ntenced-assault
  17. Thanks gents, it has been a hassle for a kid who just can't say his R/W's. They said I shouldn't take him for summer visits since there was a backlog for the speech therapist.. Found a great home day care person who worked with him awesome.
  18. Anyone know how to get of the EFMP? Ex-wife had the boy diagnosed and TriCare docs I've talked to since have said negative, just a speech delay. I've spoken to the reps at a couple locations and they all said it was "impossible".

    Don't worry guys, ECSS will fix all this. Kinda falls under another acquisitions issues. Feel sorry for that dude. That's cool, we've only been doing this for a few months so it makes sense no process is in place...

    Checklist creation.
  21. 17D_guy replied to a post in a topic in General Discussion
    I wanted to disagree with you at first, but solely for the sake of the 17DA folks. However, I don't know what they do, so I can't speak to their time requirements. I know their initial school is more intense and then they disappear into the ether. The few that I've met go TDY a lot. They also talked about getting out since they didn't want to do a "normal" comm job. I know getting a TUI/Toro degree would be what most of my peers are going on now. I've enrolled in an upper ranked Info Assurance program at a local brick and mortar, but could be getting screwed out of my 4th year at my assignment and may have to transfer a year+ worth of work to a diploma mill. I'll never be CSAF, nor will gravedigger, nor my finance buddy who med DQ'd from UPT. I don't know why we promote together. Has it always been this way? At the same rank we're generally doing different jobs, with different leadership expectations. I can't tell at what level we become parallel in rank/responsibility senior O4? O5?
  22. Is there some kind of exit survey that you do to support these assumptions? EDIT - would like to add it needs to be better than the climate survey where you lump everything from slightly agree to kool-air drinking cookie monster together.
  23. I just want to be sure, you're saying the AF and the Marines are the same in the areas of discipline? And that enlisted Marines are treated less harshly than officers? Check the link I posted to the Gen. Fiscus affairs and see if that is similar to the Corps' manner of handling things. ---- Few months old, but came across this today, makes you wonder about current leadership. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/sex-dawn/201211/not-all-military-adultery-results-in-scandal
  24. Good point gents, thanks for the clarity. As she was going through her training I kept telling her how I was jealous that she was going to be in an Ops Sq, camaraderie, mission-focus and all that. Being career-MSG I was excited to see how the other half lived. I think the double disappointment of our actual experiences weighs heavily. Said individual and Q3 reason (checklist in hand) is true. It being retaliation for calling something out was a scenario I was attempting to liken to Joe1234's statements. Apologies that wasn't clearer. Point is - she's constantly worried about how her reaction to these "non-bro's" is going to effect her professionally (and not rank climbing wise). Thank you all for the clarity on a lot of the points here.
  25. Just wondering, How is calling a squadron mate a bitch for asking you to not tell a graphic story of a one-night-stand blowjob in front of her going to make you keep that warrior edge? Or then Bro tells that story of being asked to stop to the ADO who Q3'd said female for not having a checklist in hand, CC said he wouldn't have done it, but didn't change anything. This ADO also determines the deployment assignments. The same guy who said females who deployed together previously can't deploy together anymore since they need experience on different crews. However, Bros get to go with their buds whenever they'd like. If I didn't hear it and see it first hand I'd call BS on that story above. Unfortunately I can't. There is some stupid BS that came out of that Great AF Porno hunt (family pics, books), but at least where I'm at and the wife works, there's a problem. I find it hard to believe it's relegated to our little piece of the AF. Wrapping these traditions in the "warrior ethos" is not examining them critically (as SOS in-corr/ERAU would have you do) to see what value, if any, they provide. Nope. I DD when I can, and enjoy the camaraderie when a few coworkers get a little tanked. I don't have a Sq bar, but if I did I would be there on occasion.
