can't wait for Mr FAIP to tell mr. 35 year old 5 year captain how "the real air force works" lol

the longer i've done this the more i've appreciated the roll that everyone plays. heavies hard sts? no. at least not most of their flying, but they're needed and important. and that's not some "everyone gets a trophy" bs that's the honest truth. no one operates in combat in a bubble. shit even F22 dudes are getting threat calls from the lowly heavy AWACS. night 0 shit? yeah that might be a little different...for a few nights...but even that's gonna be a whole lotta teamwork anyway not sure what the point of this post is gotta go back to the "emirates" thread for the juicy gossip c ya!

Allah always decides

17D....bro all I can muster up is keep up the good fight. You have my respect sir!

Damn shit got real!

That sounds a lot like my “masters work” too

Hey lt McCain STFU

Let that dead horse rest FFS

Major in what interests you... as long as your scholarship allows it I was miserable for 3 years in school as a comp sci major and only did it cause that’s what the AF would pay for Dont major in rotc. Enjoy college. Air Force life will happen soon enough.

Fair enough. I’d argue you’re not a lemming if you do what you know is right.

Not a dig at you, But what it’s gonna take is guys acting with conviction and not doing the stupid stuff even if it’s to the detriment of their careers. Unless a mass group does that it won’t change.

I’ll never do a correspondence class. Ever. I remember my sq cc telling me to “knock out” SOS in correspondence to show I had the drive/desire to go In-Res... no thanks boss. How does that type of thinking make sense? ”hey dude get your undergrad degree done in correspondence to prove you want to go to college in-res” lol

Norty didn’t impress me didnt blues Monday start under his watch?

Well, your world. Good to know there are perfect people out there like you, sure you must be proud. Lol

that's not how the air force world works though...

Wasn’t just a social media video. It made USA Today. If I do something stupid that goes viral and makes a USA Today/CNN/FoxNews article id expect a hammer to drop. I don’t care to decide what’s appropriate or not. anyway that’s my opinion and I respect yours and do see where you’re coming from.

why Is taking the oath in the back of a c130 different than taking it with a dino sock puppet on your hand? come on bro.

you're def not a big pussy lol. what chaps my ass even more is she is public affairs... and PA has been a dumpster fire for so long...highlighting bull shit stupid "gimmicks" that make the air force look dumb...so maybe that's what pushed me over the edge. you and i wouldn't have done something so incredibly stupid either. to me the oath is sacred and not to be mocked with some stupid sock puppet. and for those of you saying you've seen modifications of the oath i'd submit that taking it in the back (sts) of a c130 or skydiving or on the top of a cliff is different than having a fucking lamb chop sock puppet on your hand.

TA i disagree with you on this one. that video was complete and utter bull shit... both the O-6 and SNCO should know better... it made my blood boil. if someone sees me drinking beer in uniform or not wearing my cover so be it...i brought "shame" on myself and expect to deal with the consequences...but god damn did those two bring shame and scorn on the entire enterprise and shit all over a oath that thousands have given their lives upholding. they mocked the entire military IMO and deserved to be absolutely crushed.

Good. They both know better strog swift leadership from the army general.

hear that duck AFPC is 'bout to suck yo ass back into the fold baby!

Ive heard rumblings of a possible engine failure on takeoff roll...obviously RUMINT noforn

and then offer him a 10% discount to the nearest Trump hotel like a boss

the original argument made was "its a no brainer" to choose FAIP over operational because you build your airline resume. "if kids were smart they would T-1 FAIP" lotta strawmans being built that aren't addressing the main front. Nothing wrong with FAIPS we need em...but FAIPing to get "1200+ Multi engine instructor hours and SOS, Flight command, and Exec all checked off as a young second year captain" vs. going downrange and doing a real mission is the wrong attitude to have IMHO...and i bet most kids dont give a hoot about that stuff as young 2lts. If you care about checking boxes as a dude going thru pilot training...you're a SNAP shoe and that type of pilot is how we've found ourselves in the current situation. AND saying you get more SA flying in the UPT environment than flying worldwide ops is down right laughable.
