That's part of the great conflict of interest within the Air Force...we don't fly enough at home, we don't recognize, reward or value excellence in flying, we handicap ourselves with too many rules and regulations in the name of safety, we downplay the aviator and make sure the finance guy feels special and the whole base shows up for the fun run/suicide awareness/don't rape people day, and worst of all we force out our best/brightest along with all their valuable experience while the turds float to the top to lead us further down the drain.
