Commanders are dropping like flies this year
You are correct, I focused on 06s because that's what the discussion was about. I did mention some of them are good dudes. Same with retired E8/9s, some continue to think their clothes should be ironed for them. Some, like Rich, contribute to the mission. I've drank many beers with Rich, many war stories were shared and a good time was had. Wait until you meet Rich's replacement, E9 all the way. See above. I think I've mentioned this before but back in the day you could call an E9 Sergeant. We would call a Chief that deserved it a Chief but call an E9 Sergeant, some knew why. One retired E9 shoe clerk was belittling aircrew instructors and was promptly reminded who the "rock stars" were. A retired O6 site manager did that. I got to admit I felt kind of proud about that.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
This talk about about O6s made me think of this. I've been a .gov contractor for 21 years. The biggest douchebags I've ever had to work with by far were retired O6s. Not saying all of them were because there were some good dudes, some of them I flew with. The douches thought they should get some recognition because of their retired rank, nope, not from me and most others felt the same. You earn respect now. Working shoulder to shoulder with one particular guy that thought he was in charge, nope, let him know real quick. Where does this expectation come from? The best leaders/managers in my years of experience have been retired SNCOs

Another problem is the pilots will have to learn Japanese to read the gauges. 😆

I remember back in the day when I learned you could take off from an airfield that didn't have landing mins as long as you had an alternate that did. Seemed weird. But I lived to fly another day.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

I wonder what's in the pill. This raises some questions. From the article In a study of more than 1,200 COVID-19 patients with a higher risk of developing serious illness, people who took Pfizer's pills were far less likely to end up in the hospital compared to people who got placebo pills. None of the people who got the real pills died, but 10 people who got placebo pills died, according to results summarized in a Pfizer press release. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/pfizers-covid-19-pill-reduces-risk-hospitalized-dying/story?id=80979366&cid=social_fb_abcn&fbclid=IwAR34ocnmZhseOk_wD10OrBzl0CHwN8RTPD2tinzknFNDSC1jonxhnMTJXew- Covid Injection Tyranny - Share and Discuss

Three in a row. Chris Rock brings it.- C-130 Hercules questions
I'm going with none. Used to be told that the handle for the manual hydro pump was Harley and the hand grip was Schwinn. That was the old wooden handle question, those lights get hot. Question that died with the H2s. How many holes in the urinal? Only a dick would know.
