I'm sure it is, but yes, it did happen. And clearly not for a lack of deployments, as well as I assume awards/strats/etc. were good (he did get into WIC). The latter is an assumption, but I've never heard of/seen a total "slug" go to WIC, have you? Either way, the point is shit is out of control when it comes to using good judgement/metrics to promote the right people. The AF values bullshit and scoffs actual indicators of good officership and future job/leadership potential.

Even better, patches being passed over for Maj because they lack a master degree. Nobody is safe from getting run over by the full retard train these days.

What a retarded answer. First, there is zero point, but if you're going to go, you should not go to get DG, go to have an 8 week vacation and work less than you did at Restaurant X in high school. That whole program is such a colossal waste of taxpayer money and your time; but hell, I'll admit it was kind of nice to work the least I ever have in my life and have tons of free time to do a multitude of things. People who got wrapped up in DG were compete douches and had lost touch with reality as much as the leadership above them who tell them they should go to get DG.

You're right, 2% is a low number, but like you said, the majority get it. There's no misunderstanding here, I totally agree the 1CO, intel troop, etc. shouldn't have to listen to it. I'm also saying at least for the most part that I've seen, they don't. We're actually pretty good at keeping stuff "down" around said individuals. My comments towards 69 just being a number, etc. is geared towards the fact that I think focusing on shit like that is exact proof leadership is looking the wrong direction. Focus on the shit that can actually make the AF a better place, not on a small group of officers who actually do just fine (save the occasional asshole) policing ourselves and maintaining a quality work environment for all.

Wrong. I and 98% of the other fighter pilots I know/have met execute colossally high SA by removing "69," "6-9," "sts," etc. from our lexicon when outside the FS, at meetings with non-ops, etc. It's like Toro said, you sound like an idiot when you talk like that around others who aren't in the community. The 2% who don't do this are the new Lt's who haven't learned quite yet (reference Raptor wingmen story above). Did you read what I said? We DO NOT act like sexist assholes, there you go again branding an entire community because you met a couple asshole fighter pilots over your career. I'm not defending those idiots, I'm pissed that my senior leadership is focusing on not having "verson 1.69" on a lineup card instead of putting that weight of effort into smashing the balls of those who actually harass/assault people. See my response to Danny. Ironically one of our 1COs has said multiple times the AFSOC squadron she PCS'd from was FAR worse than our squadron in every way of sexual harassment. She said she was shocked at how professional and nice a FS was after "everything she had heard." So here's a data point: one AFSOC squadron is FAR worse than one FS. The point is this stuff can be everywhere, yet the AF is myopically focused on FS because it's the easy, visible target post-TSgt Whatever at Shaw. Shack. I hear more offensive shit on AFN than I do in an entire day at work. They play songs about doing drugs, banging chicks, killing people...that's OK dudes, but anything other than a pleasant "hello" in a FS is deemed sexual harrassment. What gives Liquid? I do appreciate you coming on here and giving the senior leader perspective, but at least to us line O-2 to O-5 guys, the tone is very "we are the senior leaders and you will put this dick in your mouth or get out of the AF, end of story!" Senior leadership says it wants to hear from the trenches, find answers as to why so many dudes hate this corporation and can't wait to get out, etc. But it clearly falls on deaf ears the majority of the time. I'm completely with you that TRUE sexual assault and harassment is completely wrong and I'll be the first guy in line to kick offending assholes in the balls. What I want to see my senior leadership do is put their money where there mouth is put their entire weight of effort against the real problems, not bullshit like v.169 on a lineup card.

Great, we DO NOT do that. You say don't "give me that in front of bros shit," but actually it's true. Sure things have slipped out (sts) at an ops desk or two, but you and others on this bullshit bandwagon have this grandiose horrible viewpoint of our culture when in fact your view is ludicrously far from reality. We're very respectful to the 1COs, AFE troops, etc. Stop acting like at every step brief we throw down with our favorite S&M Man verse, right after telling the 1CO she should wear less clothes. This shit does not happen. You want the playboy pinups taken out of the bathroom, out from behind some guy's desk, fine I get it. But to be quite frank, that's about the only thing I've seen that can in any logical way be considered harassment to others. The number 69 is just a number, so to speak is a common phrase, etc. What we sing in our bar with the door closed (no shit) is none of your business and I fully mean this when I say, you are NOT allowed to be offended of something you've neither seen nor heard or will ever be "forced" to hear, but only have an inflated and incorrect opinion of based off of bullshit premises. Now, before you blow your lid, I think a dude should get crushed for REAL harassment at work. If some guy's making passes at the A1C in life support, telling her "nice tits, you should take your shirt off," then fuck yeah, that guys an asshole and should get what's coming to him. As you're well aware, there are shitbags in EVERY AFSC, base, etc. I don't think it's much to ask to leave the 99% of us alone that do not do this shit and actually put effort towards doing something about the 1% who actually "do the things" the anti-fighter pilot community erroneously thinks runs rampant in our community. Going after 69, songs and callsigns is the weak dick response of spineless leadership who are too afraid/unable to tackle the real problem, so instead they go after what's easy and visible.

The lobotomy happened. I met the man once as a Lt...he actually seemed pretty down to earth and was downing Jack right alongside the rest of us. Actually made me feel optimistic about some good dudes "making it." Some leadership seems to be able to stiff arm the lobotomy for different amounts of time, but eventually it either catches up with them or they retire. Unfortunately for Baba, it seems to have caught up. Damn shame.

I'm offended by your use of skulling. I give it < 2 months from his CoC before all of AETC sees this.

My favorite part is he "outlawed" 68+1 as a replacement for 69. OGV, you need to ban Page 69 from every AFI and T.O. maintained in the XX FW. And since you can't just cross it out and and replace with 68+1, you need to renumber it to 70 and hence renumber every page thereafter. Don't forget the list of effective pages! Oh, and callsigns are approved by the fucking squadron at large, not one man. What a dickless "leader."

Left to the RTO!

A Lt DS...WTF.

True statement...barring HAF approval (which won't happen). HAF won't even go for that. Simply because it involves a "display" in front of a crowd; never mind that you can do a completely normal training mission that just so happens to take you by a crowd, log a RAP square, etc. Full retard, it's what we do.

RIP bros

Still getting it on Firefox OS X. I just bypass the warning and nothing at least seems to adversely happen. There has to be some software to clean this problem up...I just wish I knew where to start.

Manchester.

I did some quick googling and this might be a scam trying to get you to download "anti-virus software," but really it's malware. Apparently this has been a known practice for the last 2-3 yrs. I have a feeling this is what's going on because when I click on the button to bypass, it opens up another window in Firefox that's basically an add for an anti-virus that I've never heard of. Seems shady...I'm leaning towards scam on this whole thing.

Of the three dudes in my class who had over 1000 hrs civilian time going into UPT, 2 of them BARELY made it through. They struggled hardcore. Civilian time does not = awesome performance in UPT by itself.

Depends, how much blood money do we get for taking their side? Is it more than if we side with the rebels? Those are really the only two questions we should be asking.

Not nearly as far as he thinks.

The same thing happened to me over 2 years ago on the last PCS...glad to see they've fixed nothing. I gave up and worked with people at TMO, despite their best efforts to not work.

How was there even one second of thought in this dude's mind, "yep, this is completely worth it!" https://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/08/31/colorado-potty-peeper-sentenced-to-3-years-in-prison/

Then you end up with even more civilians who you can't fire no matter how shitty they are, don't give a fuck about doing a good job yet you can't really hold their feet to the fire, hide behind contracts the second you ask them do something you need, etc. Sure we have similar problems with the shoe universe, but despite all their bullshit, they still wear a uniform and can be told what to do with in constraints of the law, can be told to suck it up and do X with no fight about over-time, etc. Sure they hide behind regs, but 9/10 times they're wrong and you can call them on it after < 6.9 min of CTRL+F. Is it frustrating, hell yes. But you have more options when dealing with a lazy shoe in uniform than you do dealing with a lazy shoe wearing a polo. Caveat: I know several great civilian employees and this isn't a slam on all of them. But, unfortunately many I've been in contact with are akin to the worst shoes, but more "untouchable."

Flew with an IP, so he could technically log it as dual time; like you do when getting your civ license with a CFI. Maybe, just a total guess. Either way, someone putting what amounts to a FAM ride on their bio is retarded.

What...the...fuck. That's some doucheness of the highest order.
