What's wrong with the Air Force?
I'm offended by your use of skulling. I give it < 2 months from his CoC before all of AETC sees this.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
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."

Vietnam MIA's buried at Arlington... AF can't afford a flyover
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.

New Base Ops Malware issue?
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.

New Base Ops Malware issue?
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.

Saddle up for Syria? Or Op Deny Christmas '13
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.

PCS Bingo
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.

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
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.- PCS Bingo

This does happen some places, thank god. It demonstrates what happens when good dudes/leaders decide to stick out the bullshit AD gauntlet, at least for a while. Unfortunately the small percentage of squadrons/groups running like this shows how the AF continues to fuck itself and promote assclowns while the large majority of real leaders understandably say fuck this and take their talent elsewhere. I guess the AF doesn't understand the whole stupid games, stupid prizes thing.- Apparently, "America Does Not Need the Air Force"
Fixed.- Air Force 2027: Fewer Pilots, More Drones, More Challenges
Maybe you should consider the fact fighter pilots have the highest "real world" SA on what actually works/is required in the mission sets currently executed by fighter aircraft (referring to well beyond CAS...we won't be doing this stuff forever). Of course there is a sense of self-preservation when it comes to future jobs, desire to continue in manned aviation, etc...I won't deny that. However, dudes deep in RPA programs, etc. are so removed from said missions/have ZERO SA on the actual missions (beyond what they've read/been briefed), they work with "conceptual" SA. It's all theory, works-great-in-a-vacuum, etc. It shouldn't be a surprise when folks who actually sit in the seat and fly shoot valid holes in the "realistic ability" of different programs. Yep, we'll eventually get there, but there's real, valid reasons why people are not the level of RPA-lovers others think they should be. And it has extremely little to do with wanting to preserve our future jobs.- Asiana 777 Crash at SFO
