Not much surprise here.
So you're a prance-about, American-Idol wannabe on the taxpayer's dime and you're ashamed of us??? Yeah, good call.
If I knew I was flying you to Balad, I would kick you off my aircraft so the space could be used for a medevac.
Yeah, noted.
And you do? Okay, let's do some basic math:
Poorly sung Backstreet Boys covers required to get a flight of vipers into the air = Zero.
Weren't you just preaching about what it takes to be part of a team? Flawless logic buddy.
This is the part where I expose the fundamental flaw in your arguement. Copy, it's takes a "lot of work" for the shoe clerks to make TIB happen. The part you need to realize is that TIB isn't a mission. It's a chest-beating circle jerk of self-love and self-appreciation. Meanwhile, the crewdogs, maintainers, intel, and other ops/ops support types are getting the REAL mission down. If you don't have wings, then your mission is to support my mission. TIB has nothing to do with my mission.
TIB after action reports? I think I just threw up in my mouth.
UFB, YGBFSM. El Dorado Canyon, Berlin Airlift, those are feats of accomplishment. You have a dangerously one-sided view of your service. I suggest you go hang with the MX or OPS squadrons for a few days to try and get some perspective. Aside from that, feel free to eat a bowl of dick.
