I think I have told this story before, but back when I first went through KBAD as a young O1 a buddy and I went to a CGOC meeting not knowing anything about it. We thought everybody was doing it (sts). Anyway, we noticed we were the only flyers at the meeting and didn't think much of it. After the meeting as we were walking out, a LtCol (flyer) who happened to be in the building saw us coming out, made a direct b-line toward us and stated the following: "Gentlemen, unless you are going to CGOC meetings to nail some ass, I want you to stay the fuck away from the Nazi youth. They are doing everything in their power to put their AFSC and their career above yours. CGOC meetings are only a punchbowl of kool-aid away from being Jonestwown, stay the fuck away."
Two things I have noticed from that CGOC publication: 1) somebody has WAY too much time on their hands. Is AFCGOC Chairman (which the title itself is enough to make one laugh) a full-time gig? I have no problem with the volunteering/giving part of the CGOC, that is commendable...but the way they go about everything is asinine.
2) There are a couple of hotties in that little newsletter.
From the outside looking in, it is more than apparent that non-flyers are winning the "game." Shoes are starting to get into more powerful positions of influence and are spreading their poison to the CGOS who despite what the Air Force is all about, feel that their jobs should be the primary focus, when in fact in the grand scheme of things they support the operational missions.
Stay strong dudes and dudettes.
