What's wrong with the Air Force?

[matmacwc]

Keys visited Shaw as the ACC/CC when I was there, briefing for him was given in our mass brief room.  I printed out 10 copies of his letter and was going to post them in the bathroom, I got told to shut up and color.

The CSAF gets to pick his team, he has the entire 500K+ active, civ., AFRC and Guard personnel of the greatest of AF on the planet at his disposal. I believe the CSAF has exactly who he wants working for him, if he doesn't then that rests solely with him.

Sure Ned, you are safe...when has the USAF ever lied?

Well, he was already contemplating retirement. Not sure how working directly for CSAF would derail that.

He accepts offer and completes a PCS to DC to work for CSAF.  Six months later AFPC drops a 365 to Afghanistan on him...PCS ADSC won't let him turn it down and he finds himself sitting in Kabul guarding TCNs in the chow hall.

Soon after his arrival at said chow hall, charges of his reading/openly displaying copies of BBQ Pitmasters monthly surface. Said articles included images of smoked pork butts, baby-back ribs, bacon and assorted unapproved food items that are found "offensive" by said TCN and host nation personnel.  Charges are brought up and our hero is destroyed in the court of public opinion followed by “administrative action” as he is reduced in grade to E-zero, forfeits all pay and allowances, GI Bill benefits revoked and is drummed out of the service on pure BS charges. All this and more brought to you by the Shoes of Mother Blue’s Deep State. Never tell the emperor he’s naked.

Making the HPO thing official, not sure if this goes in this thread, or in what's right for being open about it.

Reading that article, I’m interested to see what actually occurs. It sounds like Fingers is saying to ID guys that are good tactical leaders and develop that. I think that’s a great idea. I hope that doesn’t translate to the guy who has the best excel skills gets the #1 push like we’ve seen so often.

Looking for advice. I was recently alleged by my campus housing by an r.a. to have alcohol and am not been proven guilty yet. I am currently a freshman and part of afrotc as a non scholarship student how will this affect me and what steps should I take? This will not be put down as a civil offense.

You have two choices. Tell the truth or lie. Both have differing short term and long term results.  You tell us which is the better path to take.... typically contrite people survive their mistakes, the damage from the attempted cover up is always worse.

You'll be fine, just don't fail a PT test.

There is no requirement to self-incriminate.

So when asked the question, "Did you have alcohol?" by an officer in ROTC, how should s/he respond?

In the most Constitutionally-appropriate answer, likely referencing any Amendment between 4 and 6.

Deny, deny, counter-accuse, deny.  This works in any situation whether it be your ROTC CC asking about booze in your room, or your wife asking why you have glitter on your face and smell like vanilla.

[viper154]

Option A. Quit before they kick you out. Drink beer and chase women. Graduate. Join the guard. Profit  

Option B. Quit before they kick you out. Drink beer and chase women. Graduate. Get required qualifications and get hired by a airline. Profit. 

 

Option C. Combine A and B. 

[di1630]

Why even tell your rotc det if you aren’t on scholarship or conteacted? Wait til you get the outcome then strategize.

I got hauled in by the cops when I was a freshman, told my det cc and he said, “no biggie, I was a F-4 pilot who boozed like crazy and even wilder in college.” And that was it. I was later told that had his predecessor still been around who was Mormon, I would have been booted but I was on scholarship.

You’ll be fine, just analyze your situation, don’t be dumb.

Standard AFI (Congress) mandated "Professional Relationship" briefing. Why it's not a good idea to bang students and how you're supposed to turn people in even if you hear sixty-ninth hand someone is banging a student.

It'll be riveting, no doubt.

Why do you need to separate male and female service members?  Is this like grade school instruction on birds and bees?

Dodging the question?

They're having separate meetings for all IPs and all female students/IPs so I doubt that's why

Isn't the Air Force trying to grow it's way out of a pilot shortage?

 

 

No, don't get up.  I'll show myself out...

If that’s what’s happening, how difficult is it to not sleep with students? JFC. Just don’t do it! These idiots are going to leave good leaders in their wake because they are jackasses.

I don't know what happened to my previous post, but it has nothing to do with recent or on-going events. Previous events have led to legislative input implemented via AFI and now it doesn't matter what happens or who you are...you get to participate in the discussion. Not much different than the Cyber Awareness Challenge no one can help you escape.

WTF did happen to my last post? Is the meeting being referenced about something different? If so, just say so and the bitch-fest thread can return to its regularly scheduled programming.
