Larry Parrish posted: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. Not even "extra guys," just proper manning. If you go back 15+ years you had dedicated AFSC personnelists in many squadrons. The CSS used to be called the "orderly room" because you had orderlies (personnel/finance peeps) who knew how to get poo poo done. When those billets went away those duties still had to be done and they got tossed onto the remaining people, with no training or experience and it became a rotating additional duty that nobody really learns because you're only going to be in that seat for a year or two.

congratulations, brand-new copilot who should be learning their job, you're now in charge of approving everyone's DTS authorizations nobody will ever ask you whether you've even bothered opening a pub since you got here, but you'll be briefing all the overdue vouchers every week so you better be focused on that

PBD-720 was arguably the worst thing that ever happened to the Air Force And we did it to ourselves, it wasn't even something that Congress foisted on us, it was completely voluntary from the AF perspective

It was the spaces that was the kicker. All the force shaping since then has been focused around just getting rid of people, the billets in them were (mostly) just shifted around in a shell game, they didn't fully go away. This is what gives us the flexibility to do what we did last year and go "hey so that force shaping thing, just kidding open the floodgates we're filling those slots again." PBD-720 though just completely removed billets from the books, which means they're effectively gone for good, barring a literal Act of Congress. The best part is that all this was Moseley's plan to ensure we'd be able to get 381 Raptors. Which is working out pretty sweet. In other news I just now got my official notification that my poo poo was compromised in the OPM breach. Like over a year after they started notifying people and over 6 months after they allegedly finished making notifications. Good job OPM.

i got my state to state transfer approved...illl be leaving 2A654 for 1N451A. Whats the big difference between the A and B shreds for 1N4? I read that A focuses more on computers (and my 1337 h4x0r skills extend to only finding rare porn torrents) and you gotta attend the JCAC school....is that true? Would studying some basics on programming language help?

Would studying some basics on programming language help? You pretty much nailed it. B shred is traditional sigint, A is doing analysis on the things the actual cyber people obtain. You won't do any cool stuff yourself, but it's still an okay job. My friends who went through JCAC were borderline computer illiterate when they left. If you have any ability to study or read, you should be fine. You'll mostly be learning windows and linux networking basics, so programming won't really help.

lol my ADC is located at Maxwell, 3 hours away. I can *try* to reach them by email, good luck, but I'd have better luck sucking off a pistol. To those few field grades we have in here, what is the purpose of an O5 when issuing an LOR rather than the supervisor? As in my instance, a singular mistake in 10 months and hundreds of products has resulted in 2 mistakes. Both mistakes were caught and corrected before any adverse conditions could affect people. Rather than get a verbal first from my direct supervisor, it's gone straight to the O5 in charge of the squadron I'm in to a formal reporting statement LOR presentation. Why would this happen? This flies in the face of common sense, competent leadership, and the continuum of discipline. First time offenses that don't result in damage to govt property or people shouldn't warrant this. lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Aug 3, 2016 |

If I didn't have 5 years left until retirement. I should have known better than to vent/look for solace here. Most of you are out and can't or wont sympathize. It's just an incredibly lovely feeling to know that months of good work go by unnoticed or appreciated because it's expected, but one un-serious flaw gets on everyone's radar and suddenly your boss is casually letting you know you're going to get notified to meet the O5 because you're not perfect, all while planning their imminent PCS. Just takes you to a depression is all. lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Aug 3, 2016 |
