Ouch...

I work on the Airstaff in Long Range Plans, so I have plnety of time for this stuff... Actually I have to come up with this stuff almost on a daily basis, usually on very short notice, ...Did you happen to read QDR? [ 07. February 2006, 16:32: Message edited by: Clearedhot ]

SECRET NO SNAP (S/NS) AFTTP 3-1.69, 7 February 2006 1-1 CHAPTER 1 (U) INTRODUCTION 1.1 (S/NS) PURPOSE. This volume contains specifics about Roof-Stomp (RS) capabilities and limitations, specific RS mission planning responsibilities, and tactics for accomplishing the RS mission. (See the RS capabilities and Limitations video). This volume concentrates on the roles of the flight lead and wingmen in planning and executing specific RS missions and discusses tested tactics that can be employed. Chapter 4, “Surface to Roof Mission Planning,” goes to the heart of the issue: the role of the flight lead in developing appropriate tactics that can be applied during various phases of the mission. Chapter 5, “RS Interdiction”; Chapter 7, “Suppression of Roof Defenses”; Chapter 8, “Close Roof Operations”; Chapter 9, “Night Roof Operations”; Chapter 10, “ Combat Search and Roof Operations; and Chapter 12, “Specialized Surface to Roof Operations” contain specific examples of how to apply those tactical options to particular RS missions. It is assumed the users of this volume are familiar with AFTTP 3-1.2. General Planning and Employment Considerations; and AFTTP3-3.69 Roof Stomp Reference Guide and Countertactics ; and AFTTP 3-3.3 Combat Roof Stomp Fundamentals . 1.2 (S/NS) Tactics Usage and Feedback. The tactics presented in this volume are effective ways to employ the RS but are not the “only way” to perform the mission. Rather, this volume is a discussion of tested, successful, and approved tactics and serves as a base line from which new tactics can be developed to improve RS employment. New ideas are encouraged and may be investigated at the unit level. The tactics improvement proposal (TIP) and unit level tactics review board (TRB) are methods for forwarding lessons learned to MAJCOM for review and inclusion in AFTTP3-1.69, Tactical Employment-Roof Stomp 1.3 (S/NS) General. The RS is a tactical level asset highly flexible in day and night force application roles. The Primary RS mission, Close Roof Support (CRS), is performed with a variety of alcohol laced, inebriation inducing, low cost can or bottle dispensed munitions. All of these operations are conducted in low roof environments, day or night. 1.4 (S/NS) Close Roof Operations. CRO is an action against friendly forces to encourage moral and camaraderie within an organization in close proximity to friendly forces which require detailed integration of each mission with the fire and movement forces. 1.5 (S/NS) Combat Search and Roof Operations. CSRO are employed to effectively recover distressed personnel during RS operations. CSRO are essential to ensuring safe employment of RS operations.

I am not into skydiving, but this video is impressive. Looks like a lot of practice to get this thing together. 81 Skydivers

It's just principle. I don't want to stand there while some chucklehead has to memorize my career and spout a bunch of nonsense about me.

How did you know? Sorry man, I didn't know she was your mom

Tried that and and failed.

M2...that is what my research has shown and I was hoping someone would know something I don't.

Anyone know of an actual statement in the regulations that says promotion ceremonies are up to the individual? I want to dispense with the nonsense and just wear it to work, but I am getting some pushback.

"2"

I disagree...shoe clerks are increasingly running the USAF. While some of our senior leaders are warriors, a large number have a number of Exceutive Officer or Aide de Camp assignments to match their operational tours. We just had a four star retire who had ZERO combat experiance. Additionally, if you look at the latest O-5 Promotion Board Results you will see a disturbing trend; High selection rate = Shoe Clerk Support Officers Next to lowest selection rate = Pilots Despite the fact that the C-Model Mafia is and has been running the USAF for a while, changes are on the way.

Or the USAF guy that gave space dorks green flight suits and leather jackets.

NO

Where is he going to go with you? You are on the HOV which is a restricted lane with barriers on both sides. Slugging in DC requires two passengers so I guess there is more of an intimidation factor. Slugging has been going on for 18 years without a single violent crime event. The worst I have had to deal with is some religious whack job blaring his Christian talk show or the occasional dude who has to be in the left lane doing five MPH under the speed limit.

I Slug most of the week unless I have something that will keep me in the offcie past 1800. It takes me 27 minutes from my house to my office if I Slug. If I take the Metro, it takes 50 minutes. If I were foolish enough to drive, it would be well over an hour. It costs nothing, it is the fastest method, and you meet some very interesting people. I slugged in with a Federal Judge who is working a big in the news case last week. It has actually ben on the few good things about working in the puzzle palace.

She painted a dude in a bathing suit on the nose of "her" jet.

I hope they mke it as painful as possible for her. Although, I don't understand the "Tip off" of having a Bronze Star and no Air Medals. A Bronze Star (without valor), is basically a wartime MSM. We had lots of folks get Bronze Star who did not fly missions (usually commander types, but possible for ALO's as well).

Thats the place...man that is some good chow.

Scooter, Whenever I make it to that area my kid sister takes me to a place that has awesome cheesesteaks... It is a chain but I can't think of the name.

So did it taste as good coming up?
