Yeah it has everything. Dumb enlisted, giving up a reasonable good job for a shot at a cool guy job, failing out of that school more or less immediately, and being shocked that you end up getting screwed at the end of that.

I especially liked the part where the SERE candidate assumed someone else would make sure there weren't dangerous animals in the training area.

e: forgot to mention the tech school marriage

I was thinking it wasn't so bad when he was talking about how TIs are passive aggressive idiots. Then the rest of the video happened. Failed to make the best of the situation to any degree, and still publicly crying about it years later in his anime decorated room.

As soon as he mentioned SERE, I knew he was going to get weird about the bunny.

"This organization that once nuked hundreds of thousands of human beings into ash had this a new member that accidentally didn't kill a bunny properly and it ran around in pain for a few minutes."

I do think think I could kill a ribbit. Unless they had starved me for a few days and it was all I had to eat. You know, like they do in sere school.

How hard is it to smack a rabbit in the head with a rock? Or hell palm its head, grab its ribcage, twist.

The really funny part is when someone hasn't seen the rabbit kettlebell swing, or the knifeless push-and-squeeze method.

Going through CST, there was a girl in my element who hesitated right as she brought the log down on the rabbit's head. The blow was hard enough to crack the skull, but not break the neck. I had to kill the poor thing to stop the screaming.

I've shot rabbits before, but I'd be a little uneasy about killing one with my bare hands. If need be I'd of course get it done though.

I caught one in a snare once when i was a kid. I just snapped the neck by twisting the head like the cap on a coke bottle. It's real easy I'm sure you'd be fine

CST aka "SERE Light" at the Academy. In the mid 90s they did away with the resistance and escape portion after allegations of sexual assault during the resistance phase. So it was watered down to just survival and evasion.

Just hold it upside down by its back legs, making sure they don't touch each other, THAT is what makes them freak out otherwise they stay calm. Club the base of the skull with a stick in a downward motion. Goal is to pop the spinal cord at the base of the skull, instant death. But you actually have to hit it, if you puss out like the person described in Airman of the Year's video yeah you just hurt the thing and it becomes unhappy.

Yeah, who could have forseen that letting 21-year-olds play the role of sadistic prison guards with 19-year-olds as their prisoners would go poorly.

Does AFPC deal with anything like an ORI? Because it's painfully clear they literally cannot do their mission. If flying wings were this incompetent, we'd have planes falling out of the sky or hitting each other daily.

SECAF's cracked the code: additional duties are what's killing morale and retention!

a) lol

b) glad it only took her over two years in the seat to figure this one out

c) yet another example of total eyewash. Almost all the additional duties that suck up large amounts of time are poo poo that has to get done, either because it's important (UDM, Security Manager, DTS, GPC cardholder, facility manager) or because it's managing compliance with statutory/Big Blue requirements (UTM, Safety, SAPR). Since this is a "let's get rid of stuff that doesn't make sense*" initiative and not a "let's look at a reorg to actually get you the right amount of people to do the job" initiative, they're only going to get rid of poo poo that doesn't "have" to get done...which means they're only going to get rid of the poo poo that doesn't take up that much time to begin with.

* Unless someone on Air Staff thinks it's important, in which case get bent

I mean yeah squadrons and wings wasting a bunch of manhours on completely retarded mandatory volunteer events because of required volunteer bullets is extremely stupid, but for the addditonal duties that need doing, in a perfect world whatever unit would just have extra guys so that extra load on top of whatever primary job isn't a big deal.

Like for example wing command posts are typically required to also have someone serve as the wing SORTS manager. But that's a job that takes all day, monday through friday (in a large wing), in a career field that somehow manages to stay undermanned even with AFPC manning number fuckery. Pushing it off onto someone else won't really help the root problem there.
