A guy in my flight decided to "borrow" the carpet shampooer then go on TDY for a month. This wasn't figured out until several man hours were wasted looking for it.

I bet it really defected to the Taliban. I hope nobody dies while searching for it.

So the Occupational Analysis report came out for my career field. Two slides had me laughing my rear end off. One was "why are people who are reenlisting doing so?" and all three categories (First Term, Second Term, Career) all picked Pay, Medical and Dental as their top three. The "why are people who are separating doing so?" listed Leadership At The Unit Level across the board. Then later in the slideshow it said that overall job satisfaction is "very high"

Our climate assessment survey apparently has good numbers because everyone just clicked through to get it over with. The comments were horrifying because the last page of the survey was just a text box to say whatever you want.

There is no drinking in Korea this weekend. Holy loving poo poo, now that the haze of alcohol has left my brain I can see this place for the horror that it is. Kill me. 2 years 11 months left until I escape this

Is a CGOC mostly a method to get OPR bullets? Their emails are worthless, and apparently they don't do unsubscribes.

I thought it was cool when some O3 got on the CGOC distro and told everyone it was inappropriate to use it to arrange bar crawls.

I just never got my e-mail re-setup after deployments for the longest time. It made life great, nobody knew how to get a hold of me, as I disconnected the phone in my office everyday (I had a little TV that showed when people were coming towards my door, then 10 seconds of hearing them fidle with the loving security combo to plug it back in, and I would alt tab to my desktop, which was actually empty but had a screen shot of some seriously impressive intelligence and NCO multi-tasking. Then I'd always be digging "for an AFI binder I need to update" whenever someone did wander in so I always looked extremely task saturated and busy. I would make up fake projects, and brief my progress on them during our weekly internal training to the acting flight chief. And the acting flight chief couldn't come where I worked or see what I did, he was just a DNF pilot sitting in a seat until our intel flight chief came back from deployment. I went 3 months without doing a goddamn thing this way. This method of avoiding e-mail worked great but it hosed me when I missed an awesome cross training opportunity, but I wound up getting to cross train a few years later anyway. Then they gave my office the COMSEC stuff and I suddenly started to have a job, phone, e-mail, and human being comms people coming over to my office to inventory my poo poo. loving. COMSEC. I'm an anal retentive AFI master to this day because I had to be the COMSEC guy. And honestly, I'd rather look my dad in the eyes and tell him I love having men ejaculate inside me at truck stops than admit how good I got at doing COMSEC and being an AFI bitch.

That poo poo got the entire base's email shut down for an entire day. There was an afternoon when a heads-up about a fire drill in one building on Tinker turned into a similar shitshow. Due to problem with the mail server, the email went to the entire base...something like 80,000 people. A couple hundred replied to ask why they were getting it. Those emails also went to the entire base. I'm sure a couple of idiots actually hit "reply all" but over the next hour or so there were THOUSANDS of emails going to loving Tinker All. I don't know if the server crashed or if it was taken down, but it was fun to watch. I used an inbox screenshot as my wallpaper for a while.

Dominoes posted:I like that one. I have a rule to auto-delete anything to the CGOC list or from the first shirt, but it doesn't always work; I dunno. I've been replying with "Please unsubscribe" to each email hoping they'll get the message. There's only two ways to get off that list. Make Major or separate.

Anyone know the best way to fund a foreign bank account using USD? The BoA community bank on base has a poo poo exchange rate, so I'd like to stop using it for rent.

The CGOC is for non-rated people to get bullets and do moderate networking. While you work with officers all day, several MPF/Finance/MX/Comm/Med/Bio-environmental Engineers etc have only 1 or 2 officers they encounter all day, and want a way to meet people. Then they hear about sweet games like Crud and dead bug, and want to use them in their meetings. Every year or so one asks me how to get Ops involves, and I tell them don't bother. Most listen, others it's like watching a cat chase a laser pointer.

For some reason just about every lovely worthless email listing like that decided to add our shop's all controllers mailing list to it, as well as other random lists that include our org box. So every time someone sends one we get about 5 spread over our personal email and various boxes we control. And literally every time the OG/CC or the WG/CC asks us to send an email over Traivs_All, a huge string of assholes beg to get taken off of it.

My debit card has a 1% foreign transaction fee, and my credit card has a 1% cash advance fee. Still better than the base bank. I've got the account set up.

You could be back at Minot, is it really that bad? I know having overbearing leadership and an obnoxious curfew sucks, but there's gotta be something positive about where you are. You make me think of all those idiots I was with in Okinawa who complained about wanting to go back because they "miss Wal-Mart and snow."

I can understand sometimes missing walmart and being able to buy whatever you need at any hour of the day. But holy poo poo, you're in an awesome foreign country experiencing new culture. I've spent that last 4.5 years of my life at various points along I-10. I wish I could be in Europe or Japan "missing walmart."
