MDDieselPilot Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Just me or are there a lot of commanders getting axed this year? 375th WG/CC fired https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/12/12/wing-commander-at-scott-air-force-base-fired-after-5-months-on-the-job/ WS/CC fired https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/09/26/air-force-squadron-commander-was-fired-after-allegedly-drinking-on-duty/ This dude was screwing around with an E-4... on the surface it seems he deserved it. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/05/02/squadron-commander-at-moron-air-base-relieved-of-duty/ Thunderbirds https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/11/29/air-force-thunderbirds-commander-relieved/ Intel GP/CC.. alcohol related, but he was over the German limit by ~.001, and under our .08 limit. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/09/22/air-force-intel-group-commander-relieved-of-command/ Macdill WG/CC https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/10/09/wing-commander-at-macdill-was-relieved-in-july/ https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/11/14/air-force-security-forces-commander-at-nellis-creech-relieved/ https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2017/10/07/maintenance-group-commander-at-eglin-air-force-base-fired/ I've worked with or know a couple of these guys along with another one or two not listed who were fired this year.. all (that I knew) were great guys and highly respected. Shitty to see their career hit a brick wall.
Azimuth Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 So fired with a pension at a rank that most Officers never see? Must be rough. 1 1 2

08Dawg Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 More evidence to support my feeling that I have absolutely zero ambition to be a commander. 2 3
Azimuth Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Well his life is about to become super terrible.

Expand If the main complaint of exiting airmen is the quality and conduct of leadership, then this stuff is part of the necessary course correction. Of course...you do have to hire competent replacements....
flyusaf83 Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 I’d rather see the AF firing commanders fired for being empty flight-suit, gutless, self-promulgating, incompetent douches in addition to cases like this. But then who would be left? 1

Guardian Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 What happened to the Friday picture thread? And the WTF thread? And the leaving the AF for the Airlines thread?

In the not to distant future, nonconsensual woodies will result in UCMJ action and wont be tolerated in the USAF. The crackdown will start with the Enlisted/Company Grade Officers and eventually progress to Field Grade Officers. Note; E-9s/General Officers will be exempt from this woody hunt.
