What's wrong with the Air Force?

Point of order, in recent times the first clown to recycle the open ranks inspection, nitpicking of uniforms and banning of items that made life easier for folks on the flightline was the ACC Commander Wilsbach, an Eagle Pilot to the core.

Again, point of order, the first clown to start the airlinepilot looking uniform changes, V-neck t-shirts and gigline gazing was McNutgobbler when he was CSAF.  Again another scrotum hugging, Eagle driving, fighter guy.

 

No surprise there...

These guys are standard AF generals. I've yet to meet a single general in the AF that the bros actually claim as part of their community. Usually said general takes command and the bros are like, "he flew X back in the day so hopefully he'll be good." Fast-forward to his first speech/memo/CC call...the bros: "were fucked.."

Recency bias for sure, but Rich Clark is the only one I immediately recall that made it past the O-6/O-7 phase and felt like a genuine person.

Then you never met Gen Kevin Chilton.

BG Palenske seems pretty well-liked from what I glean on social media

From his Wikipedia page, it looks like he didn’t do AWC until he was a 1-star. Fvckin awesome!

Palenske is the real thing, if anything he's better than his social media "fun boss" persona; he actually likes/enables mission hackers and killers.  He is a real combat leader.
But he's been a 1 star for a long time.  I'd be surprised if he continues upwards.

I think I saw on LinkedIn a couple weeks back that he was taking a job at HTeaO so I think he may be retiring.  Not 100% sure though.

Dude is certified legit. Talk to the Osprey boys about his motivational speeches for deployments. The missing finger knife hands are missed.
