Wow, you really are super butt hurt ever since I bought you that cyber commander avatar. Or do you want it back? Are you trying to be so lame that I buy it for you again? It's just an avatar, dude.

Yeah, but now I live in a pretty cool place, make an alright amount of money, and get to bang hipster girls non stop and also serve my country one weekend a month so I guess it worked out alright.

you think for the service with the most desk job career fields, we'd be happier, but in actual fact most of us are insanely miserable for basically no reason

I'd make an effort post about Microsoft or Apple managing their employees like the airforce does but it's 9am in Korea and I'm hungover as poo poo. Ready to fight tonight.

Also I hate the AF for taking my ability to sleep in away

Microsoft has had really toxic stacked rankings for years now. If 5 people are assigned to the project, one of them will get rated lovely at the end and/or lose their job. One of them will get the top ranking and the other three will just be middling.

You get five Einsteins in an office together and due to stack ranking, one of them will be let go. loving horrible system.

Confirmed with my recruiter - the entry AFQT is in fact 31 now, down from 50. All of the job reqs are still the same so if you are a terrible idiot you'll still only get to choose between services, SF, and pest control.

Pest Control doesn't seem like that bad of a job. Ignoring work orders all day while you fire shotguns in the general direction of birds on the flight line. Seems alright.

The military would still find some way of making the job awful.

Doesn't airfield management handle all the bird duties on the airfield?

Yeah it's either airfield management or contractors. Guy a deployed with was airfield management and told me this story about how they had this one coyote who kept running on the landing strip and they'd chase it off swinging a rake at it. Well one night some spec ops guy is landing some Cesna type plane and right before he touches down he comes down on the coyote and bounces back up and everyone is freaking out but he still managed to land. Buddy had to go out and throw this broken in half coyote into a garbage bag after though.

Some dopey kid asked why he didn't just avoid the rabbit. He said in a very crusty O-5 way "I'm not going to miss centerline because of a loving bunny."

im not really sure what pest control does on this base because all of the jackrabbits are endangered apparently, ignoring the fact that there are millions of the motherfuckers up and down california. i havent heard of one getting sucked into an engine or something but it wouldn't suprise me

A family of dogs lived in the grass along the runway at our counterdrug FOL. They caught a litter of puppies but by the time I left mom & dad were still at large.

Animals getting hit by planes chat is about the only redeeming thing in this thread and it brings us all together. At Sheppard they would spray for birds or poison them somehow but anyway everyone morning you'd walk out to a sea of frozen intact crow corpses. Well one night me and some friends were walking to the Rec center and I kicked one of the frozen birds and it just so happened to slide across the ground right under this one guys foot as he was taking a step and when he came down on it fell flat on his rear end. Top 10 funniest things I'd ever seen.

Another guy told me some story about being in formation during basic and watching some squirrel scurry over to some dead bird and just rip it's head off and run off with it and just standing there trying not to laugh or do anything while in formation and having just seen that. Not entirely sure I believe this one.

Alright here's some AF bird chat

Space rocket stools have big concrete flame ducts to redirect all the exhaust safely in one direction. Since they usually go for a while without use and water pools in them, birds and other animals like to make nests in there. At some pad on Cape Canaveral, there's a fence opposite the flame duct and after a launch dudes will have to go over it and pick out all the bird parts left over when they get shot through the mesh.

From what I understand you pretty much stand around watching contractors do the poo poo work. Really not that bad of a gig.
