PMEL is a sweet job. It's easy, there's always work to do (but gently caress torque wrenches), and no one fucks with us. I'll probably do this when I get out, 4 years of AF training is enough to get picked up by any company that does calibration stuff.


Well gently caress, I already bought two packs to use as the base of the next pies. I'm sure they can't be too bad with half a cup of butter mixed in.
The thing is I completely hate doing PMIs.

They rif'ed/cross trained a ton of navigators out of C-130H's and now they're getting rid of the -135 navs.

I have no loving idea. I could see how some CSOs would be undermanned (AFSOC) but 12M mobility Navs?! They were one of the hardest hit in the past RIF.

Look at this guy who thinks AFPC could find it's own rear end with a loving map.

There is no plan, there never was a plan. That's why they weren't transparent in the slightest, and why there was so much conflicting information and direction being given out. They literally had no idea what the gently caress they were doing, and they weren't accountable to anyone so nobody was there to keep them in line or give them meaningful direction.

Did you have to sign a new ADSC shortly before your VSP? A whole ton of us had to because they hosed up the math the first time. It was probably only a few months before your VSP round.

What sort of handicap are we applying? Because I once had a PCS pushed back a month while I was 9/10 of the way through my outprocessing checklist. I showed up when I felt like, left when I felt like, and didn't do a drat thing. Only the certainty that my Commander at the time would NJP my rear end if given the opportunity kept me from going AWOL for 30 days.

Eh whatever makes a good story. The more your life resembles that scene from Office Space (or the entire movie) the stupider the grin on my face.

I didn't do any real work for my last 18 months in the Army

This is in no way an exaggeration. I would wake up at 7, go to formation at 730 and be back in my civilian clothes by 815. I would go to about three appointments all week, with the longest one lasting an hour. I would go to every appointment in civilians. I didn't shave for days on end and only cut my hair when I would get told to, which was maybe once every couple of months.

Unites States vs Massey posted:

After returning from a deployment to Qatar in 2011, the appellant began to engage in a pattern of nonconsensual sexual contact with a 16-year-old relative. After being confronted by the child’s mother, the appellant made several ambiguous admissions of misconduct, telling her he had “crossed the line” and when confronted about placing his hand down the child’s pants, said he was only checking for pubic hair. The appellant later sent the child’s mother an email saying that something had broken inside him during his deployment, and that he “never ever did anything like that before.”

United States v Killion posted:

Once there, while undergoing treatment for his altered mental state and injuries to
his wrist and knee, the appellant lashed out at the medical providers both physically and
verbally. Struggling against restraint by two security forces members and the medical
staff, he verbally accosted several medical providers, calling one female nurse a “c[**]t”
and medical technicians “Asian douchebags” and “ch[*]nk.” This continued
intermittently for over an hour, ending only after the medical staff determined it was
necessary to sedate him.

This (unsurprisingly) involved large amounts of alcohol and was (again, unsurprisingly) in Korea, in case anyone was wondering

Best blotter story still the drunk PA lieutenant going on a pub crawl and riding a topiary animal.

Also loooool stressed career field, I guess as a 12m I am pretty stressed that we don't get bonuses. Also that a lot of my friends got fired for apparently no reason, but I usually end up going on vacation to drinkin' island whenever I think about that.

As a result of my position I've got tons of guard contacts, if any lurker 12ms are interested. Lots of c-130 units hiring right now.

Two hours late reporting is basically not a decision at all, and the roads are going to be just as bad at 0930, and they've been covered since last morning so idk why it took until like 10 pm yesterday to figure this poo poo out. Also nobody remembered to tell mid shift guys and they're all maintenance so many of them were dumb enough to get into their dodge chargers and give it a shot.
