Sucking dicks no longer gets you outta the Air Force, either.

It turns out it's now okay to suck dicks, you can suck the dicks. All the dicks, just suck them.

So that's not a way to quit either.

I bet if you came down with fibromyalgia / gender dysphoria / seasonal affective disorder / tinnitus / acid reflux / lower back pain / insomnia / generalized anxiety you'd find yourself on the quick trip to a RIF rather fast. Play those cards right and Uncle Sam might give you a big giant pair of beautiful breasts to play with and help you cut off your pud, kid. All so you can keep your GI bill while being a bitch.

Thanks for the advice ill sleep on it. Well I would if my back didnt hurt as much from all this tossing and turning about my anxiety about the coming winter man I wish i didnt have insomnia its almost like this ringing in my ear is reminding me im really just a woman trapped in a airmans body i need some more tums to help stop my stomach from hurting i wonder what time the BX opens?

Also if you're an Academy football player you've still got a license to rape

quote:

The athletic director, Hans J. Mueh, a former chemistry professor at the academy, said in an interview that he had never seen evidence of any of the described misconduct. He argued that the academy had too many safeguards in place for cadets to cheat, whether academically or on drug tests.

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.
I liked the part about the former QB general stepping all over OSI's attempts to harass and belittle his football players by doing things like prosecuting them for repeatedly raping women.

quote:

And according to Mr. Thomas and Sergeant Enos, the general allowed Mr. Cooks — the linebacker who was being investigated on allegations of drug possession, intimidation of witnesses and five sexual assaults, including rape — to remain in the dorms despite requests from prosecutors and O.S.I. agents that he be placed in pretrial confinement.

During that time, Mr. Cooks committed another sexual assault, according to O.S.I. documents. After the football season was over, he was convicted of abusive sexual contact in April 2013 and expelled.

Seriously, how the gently caress, Air Force?

Literally, they cannot take instruction, randomly nose dive at the ground, or try and hit the other the plane because they are so task saturated. Please do not kill me.

If they're trying to kill you by the time they are in Phase 3, the world could probably do without being terrorized in the sky by your awful students.

As far as the MC-12s go, forget abusing their people at a criminal dwell ratio (like he points out they're far from the only community doing that), their leadership along with USAF senior leadership has killed people because of poor decisions leading to a bastardized community with no continuity and institutionalized acceptance of lovely inadequate training...and honestly they're lucky the body count has only been 4 so far. Same goes for a couple of other "need it right now" communities we've got thanks to fighting pointless wars in bumfuckistan.

But yeah, spot on good post, especially the part about flag officers considering FGOs to be nothing more than minions. The sad thing is there are way too many FGOs out there who do nothing to disabuse the notion that they are anything other than minions...and most of the ones I know who aren't that way are basically counting down the years till they hit 20 and can punch out of the bullshit organization.

Also holy poo poo, if you haven't been following the Blair Kaiser saga....grab some popcorn and start reading. Bonus tibit being this friendly reminder that "protected" IG communications are anything but.

tl;dr - SQ/CC is relieved for no reason, is given a referral OPR by a rater who the day before he was fired discussed a (non-referral) OPR with him that included, among other things, an OG/CC push line, rater basically says "I have no idea why your WG/CC relieved you, I'm still signing the referral, sorry," and then when faced with a Congressional inquiry on the matter the AF cites, as their sole justification for why he was fired, a CDI which had no substantiated findings of misconduct and was initiated five days after he was relieved. Also the AMC/CC was talking with some Majors from some AMC PME course in his office about professionalism or some poo poo and (allegedly) started talking about the intimate details of a protected communication made to his IG related to the Blair Kaiser situation...unfortunately for him, the individual who made the protected communication WAS IN THE loving ROOM when he started yapping about it and was a little miffed that intimate details from a protected communication she had made were the subject of a discussion with her four-star MAJCOM boss and many of her peers.

On the other hand you get paid more for higher scores, so if you actually study instead of making up stuff for language hours you have more money for booze to make you forget how much being a linguist sucks. Or you can be like two people up here and fail the DLPT, get your promotion to SrA pushed back, and get a referral EPR.

JQP is an interesting read sometimes because he likes to publicly skewer the type of people in this bureaucracy that I personally dislike the most (AMC leadership). At the same time, holy poo poo he loves to dial the goddamn rhetoric up to 11. All these goddamn platitudes about integrity, honor, and service. Give me a loving break, dude, you're not an 12th century holy warrior in the goddamn crusades.
