brabus Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Gov PA across the board will always have the legacy of being horrible at their jobs. I think they may be even worse than Finance, and that’s saying a lot.
M2 Posted November 12 Posted November 12 It doesn't have leaders like MG William Zana... An Army general’s final ‘walk’ at the Tomb of the Unknowns MG William Zana, the only guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to reach the rank of general, took a final guard shift on the night he retired. At exactly 10 p.m. on the warm, last night of May, MG William Zana received his orders and began his final guard shift on the smooth marble stone plaza at the center of Arlington National Cemetery. In two hours it would be midnight, a new day and new month. A new guard would relieve him at his post, he would march off the plaza and suddenly, instantly, be a civilian. But for the final two hours of his 37-year career, Zana wanted one last chance to stand a shift he had held as a young sergeant: keeping watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “I was Pvt. Zana when I showed up to the Old Guard,” Zana told Task & Purpose.“You know, all of us who raise our right hand and serve, there’s things that define you. First combat tour, first loss of personnel. For me, volunteering for and serving at the Tomb was absolutely both defining and shaping.” (Full story at the title link) I don't know the man, nor do I know much about his career other than what I read in his bio; but based on this article, I have the utmost respect for him! 19 2

I’ve seen several enter the Army warrant community in aviation and they will all tell you their time as a tomb guard was one of the must solemn moments of their lives performing that job.Bystanders also have no idea who is standing there performing the job because they intentionally don’t wear rank, which permits anybody to include very senior personnel to perform the watch as a Sentinal like the General did.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6

Same thing with this A-Staff construct at the wing level. 1 4

Shocking that you can’t theoretically just pick up a whole wing of the nuclear enterprise and deploy it with no consequences.
contraildash Posted December 3 Posted December 3 It was a shitshow in AFSOC/HQ with him and Davidson pushing this crap. The best part was bringing up any of the off cycle contingency stuff or MDS’ that didn’t have enough resources to support the construct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro best part of the day, every day, bringing up that fact in every single forgen discussion. It's fine though, we'll ride this burning train off the cliff, then leadership will look around and ask again "where'd everyone go?" 1

In a peacetime environment who has the most to benefit in advertising USSTRATCOM assets within the DoD? Is the leader of an organization with proximity to middle America included in the the answer? When you can't advertise the other two, the airborne asset is the lead singer, readiness and morale be damned.
HuggyU2 Posted December 8 Posted December 8 Let's see how USAFA reacts to this. https://fortune.com/2024/12/06/race-naval-academy-admissions-national-security-dei-affirmative-action-supreme-court/
HuggyU2 Posted December 17 Posted December 17 Well... The AF people that contracted the renovation were so incompetent that they got taken for $1.2M... so, they decide to simply tear the building down. What the fuck is wrong with us? https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/air-force-tears-down-historic-wpafb-house-after-12m-renovation/G6KURTKRGRDNNH5HSDHWINP6ZA/

Not saying that was a good use of funds or defending the decision makers here...but it wasn't exactly like the $1.2M was spent last year and it knocked down this year. They should have just knocked the rank requirement off and given it to an FGO who wanted to live on base, IMO. 1 2

What isn’t highlighted until pretty far down the article is that it was a DV “lodging” facility…managed by FSS. Then it was changed back to “housing”, managed by CE. Those two designations have different codes and requirements and regulations…for better or worse. So, converting it to meet standards for “housing,” whether for a GO, FGO, or anything else, was going to cost even more. Based on the other contract costs mentioned in the article, tearing it down was probably the best worst option.
ClearedHot Posted December 18 Posted December 18 Opinions of lower-ranking troops could soon be considered in officer promotions "The pilot would include anonymous peer and subordinate feedback to be submitted as part of command selection for O-5 and O-6 ranks." Our Air Force leadership would look COMPLETELY different. Douche nozzles like Slife and Cat 5 would be busting rocks in the gulag. 1 12
CharlieHotel47 Posted December 20 Posted December 20 hey bros. Our leadership at our wing is getting out of control. We got a new wing shirt and he has been raising hell about morale shirts. The colored ones one could wear with a flight suit. Do any of you guys know of a memo floating around asking for a waiver based on a tier level? I wish we could just bully our leadership into doing whatever we want as a part-timer. Hate to see my full-time bros suffer through nonsense. ANG tanker unit.... cheers

Tell them to pound sand and as long as the reg doesn’t say you can’t then proceed on as business usual?
