Raise your hand if you didn't call that at least 5 years ago.

So, Commander said the Check Flight CC is moving to Stan/Eval and that he wants to move me to Check Flight CC. I asked if he was asking or telling me, he said asking. I said TBNT... some small talk and as I was leaving tonight he said they were going to leave me where I was. Career suicide complete (esp coz Major's PRF due in a few months) but man I am loving life as a line IP. It's a very weird vibe between me and the commander right now... The best way I can describe it is the squadron is like a super devout religious group and one person (me) discovers atheism. Nobody really knows what to do.

You're going to get non-vol'd as Chief of Command Post or something

Naw, I'm in this position originally because I specifically told the OSS Commander I did not want to work for him, and it set off a spiral of events. Basically, I'm telling leadership "no I don't want to do that" and none of them are sure what to do with me. I also just got back from a deployment and am on the summer VML so they can't really send me anywhere either. Of course, leadership could make me take a job, but they will get the biggest ROAD officer imaginable. I am also largely motivated by the fact that nothing they can do affects my pay.

PILOT SHORTAGE Speaking of shortages take a look at the SRB listing that just came out, it's loving hilarious. Literally almost every mx AFSC is on there. For Crew Chiefs it's every single AFSC, skill level, and zone (except Zone E), with multipliers pretty much 3 and 4 across the board. Same thing with Fighter and RPA AFSCs (both CC and Specs), with a couple exceptions Zone A/B/C for everyone and all multipliers either 3 or 4. loving lol

Talked to some AWACS dudes yesterday at work. Was kind of glad to hear that things are going EXACTLY as I predicted around 2010/2011. I should start a 1-900 fortune telling business.

Dead Reckoning posted:Oh, you predicted AWACS would be a poo poo-show in five years? How prescient of you. Well, it was a shitshow back then. But they got a couple of 4-stars to tweak the deployment commitments, and theyre trying to manage flight hours via CMR/NCMR/UQ, dual-qualling certain crew positions, etc.

Command Post is the same, lol. Not suprising that Zone E is zero though. There's a million ancient SNCOs in this career field that are dead set on retiring in a functional position

My AFSC is 60% manned, so we mostly can't crosstrain out. We don't have an SRB. And then leadership wonders why every non-braindead troop gets out to work as a an AFETS GS.

Two weeks down in OTS. I miss coffee and beer. Surprisingly I don't miss tobacco at all, so I guess this is good for something.

My leadership is very concerned about retention and asks me daily what I would need to see changed to get me to re-enlist, since I'll actually sit there and tell them what's wrong. Every SSgt and SrA is getting out here within a year. They're loving terrified.

Might re-up if I can get to a tactical unit like JCU/JCSE, otherwise I'll gently caress off to college on the GI Bill. Nice of the Air Force to pay for all of my commercial certs, though. Sure will be handy getting a better job afterward. Edit: yeah, "backshop" is exactly the right word, actually.

iyaayas01 posted:Ah, I heard AFETS and I thought mx Easy mistake to make. For whatever reason, AFETS does comm, too. I don't want to jump ship for it just yet, because I'm hoping the AF might still send me someplace cool. On the comm side, the AFETS seniority determines location, so the dudes who've been around forever get the cool assignments, and the new guys get Barksdale.
