Another MTI got busted and is getting 8 months in prison, surprisingly not for anything sexual. Fursther confirming my theory that the vast majority of people who'd want that job are poo poo.

quote:

She pled guilty to obstructing justice by lying to investigators about how a recruit got a black eye and forbidding others in the flight to admit knowledge of the incident.

quote:

One witness told the court he entered the Air Force expecting a professional learning environment, but that he did not get what he expected. He said upon arrival at basic, Ellis told the recruits they had brought too much gear and took away all but one outfit, sending the rest of their belongings to the trash.

quote:

One of the trainees in a female flight testified that Ellis often forced the whole group to do physical training while naked in the shower stalls. She told the court of several shower incidents where Ellis was involved -- including a time when Ellis woke her in the early morning hours and forced her to stand naked under a cold shower while she shouted obscenities at her.

The comment sections of any story about this mainly consist of :corsair: "BAHH BACK IN MY DAY!!!!!" and probably ramblings about the nonexistent stress cards.

A guy spilled pop on the center console of our deployable comm truck, shorted out the security system, engaged an ignition interlock, and now the truck won't start. Good thing we're not sitting out in a field somewhere right now.

On leave in Baltimore hung over as gently caress. Convinced some 19 year old I was a TACP "like remember what Tyrese did in Transformers? That's pretty much what I do... Fight giant robots." I realized the next day I should've pulled out and yelled "steel rain!" and now I'm genuinely kind of bummed I didn't think of it at the time :(

I'd believe you were a Trannyformer.

This douchbag from my basic flight was talking about getting the Air Force symbol "branded" on him. He was kicked out a few month later and is now in prison. I hope he went through with it.

Remember that TDY I wanted to go on? The guy who drew the swastika on his housemate's cat gets to go.
Honestly all my interactions with him are pretty positive but still...

Holy poo poo the dude who raped someone on deployment back in 2012 just sent me a friend invite on Facebook. Like I didn't even really know the guy so why you would want to even think about that point in your life is beyond me.

What's the proper etiquette in this situation?
Accept it, post on their wall(?) to remind everyone what they did, unfriend them.

Welcome to the largest metropolitan area in the world.

If you can get any sort of vehicle at all you travel about an hour west and it's like you fall off the face of the world, just mountains and nothing else. So hiking, camping, some random sports. The mountains go high but there really isn't a lot of interest in hiking them for whatever reason so if you are interested in that stuff, get a guidebook. I know a couple people who go mountain biking pretty regularly. Winter sports are huge, depending on the time of year. I dunno, there really just isn't a lot of outdoors.

If you're going TDY then you'll want to make some friends who know where this stuff is pretty quick.
Nevermind, got hosed out of this trip too. Reason given was I'm already on orders and they apparently won't cancel them to give me a great opportunity like that. What I'm getting out of this is that I need to stop being a team player because it's getting me nowhere.

The best are the ones that are from some Cold War era retiree's wife, talking about how her and her husband totally made sacrifices (you know, when being in the military meant getting paid to be permanently hammered while galavanting around Europe and East Asia) and how young whippersnappers today (you know, the guys who've been going to desert shitholes for the past 20 years, i.e. their whole time in the AF) just don't have the same work ethic or dedication or patriotism as the old folks.
Back when I was in we threw people out windows an' poo poo :bahgawd:

Sorry for the :siren: BASIC TRAINING STORY :siren: but......

Way back in 2008 during some warrior weekend downtime we were up in the bleachers doing a Q&A with some fat lady Captain so she could feel important or something, and some MTI was sneaking around and encouraging trainees to ask her Chuck Norris Fact questions. I've seen some poo poo in my time but that stands out as one of the more cringe inducing memories, probably because it went on for 20 minutes and I couldn't just get up and walk away.

EDIT: The base took part in Denim Day yesterday. Somehow the part about it being about rape awareness got lost along the way.

Last time General Welsh came by the base to speak some guy called out his supervisor for being a muffin-topped fatty and asked why he should have to pass a PT test if his supervisor can't. I'm not sure what the point of doing that was but all the facial expressions in the room were pretty awesome.
I'd like to do that.
