Should have been a shot of someone trying to get a computer at least 8 years old to actually work followed by 26 more seconds of airmen doing bitch work forever.

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.
So does anyone who bought the GiP dick book automatically qualify for an Article 15 now? If so, still worth it.

Sort of, they combined that and one of the stupid ones.

Aim High was a good slogan. I'm apparently one of the few who liked Above All, too. gently caress yeah it's smug, that's the point.

When I went through Lackland they started making all the trainees in the flight say 'Aim High' before using the bathroom because some of them were too stupid to not piss all over the floor. That really should have been a red flag about the organization I was joining.

I think it was dumped less because of smugness and more because of the accidental Nazi callback.

Aim High was repeated multiple times in a video they played to set the atmosphere at the 3rd quarter awards ceremony today but I kind of checked out when the narrator said "hundreds of thousands of terabytes of data flashing past in a nanosecond".

The last promotion ceremony I ever went to had three of our guys getting promoted. First dude goes up and I yell "Yeah PMEL, alright!" and clap a bit or whatever. Next dude it's "PMEL strikes again, yeah!" The third dude it turned into "OHHHHH, PMEL WITH THE THREE-FER!!" I got some weird looks but who gives a poo poo.

I've yet to have someone give me a good reason for why E4s deserve promotion ceremonies other than 'we bought too much award paper a few years back'

Spent some time with some guard guys out of there while I was in Kunsan last year. They all love it. Don't live in Aurora unless you want to get stabbed. If you want me to ask them some more, PM me and I can find out.

It should be Kandahar Catwoman. And it should go badly enough that you become legend. Nobody's in the Air Force forever. Gotta make it count.

Denver was almost always an overnight stop when I drove home on leave. At the time Buckley didn't have any lodging but there was supposedly a plan to build some, dunno if that's happened yet. It's a space base, pretty small, but it's in the Denver metro so it's probably a good deal. It's on the east side of town (closer to Kansas, farther from mountains) but close to the interstate. I've stayed at a couple of the hotels in that area. It's not bad, as far as "right off base" goes.

we need to hire over a page's worth of maintainer AFSCs because we treat them like garbage and they get out

also lol at all the comm/counter/nav systems guys we need, I guess collapsing three separate specialties into a single field didn't work out for us, too bad anyone that knew anything got out already

edit: huh I wonder if it's a bad thing that we need to hire more EW maintainers on what appears to be literally every platform we own?

lol I can't remember if it was the "we'll let you back in" prior service list or one of the other ones that was literally "were/are you an AFSC that starts with 2A (we don't care about the rest of it)? Did you get out somewhere between the rank of SrA and MSgt? Congratulations, we want you back!!"

I am eagerly awaiting being hounded by reserve recruiters when I get out. I did my mandatory reserve briefing and the guy said he could get me a job right now as a 1B and I could even do multiple weekends a month if I wanted to. I'm not terribly interested in giving up six months of my life to go back to tech school for a few hundred bucks a month.
