You also had to be out of work by I want to say 1700. If you wanted an exception it had to be personally approved by the CO himself.

It might be worth pointing out that there is no specific training for OICs or flight commanders (AF, at least). If you know the regs better than they do, you can avoid a lot of that bullshit. Believe it or not, the best officers usually know the rules...it's the ones that don't know poo poo that usually make life suck.

We tried that and got a stern talking to about the importance of our mission (fixing jets so frat guys could go play laser tag) and he signed a bunch of waivers. PT at 0345 was fun, but not as much fun as working 0500-1700 right after that. gently caress the 18th AMXS.

One little piggy was crying because by the time PT was over he didn't have time to walk to the chow hall AND make it on time to wherever we were standing in line that day. So our CO bumped PT up a few hours. I was such a moto-boner sadistic gently caress that I actually thought it was funny. Still do. gently caress you if you think you're people.

PT was always 0630 and work call was 0900 up until about 6 months before I got out when it bumped to 0930 because who the gently caress knows (I think they intended for us to literally do PT for a solid 90 minutes, and we always bolted around an hour). Lunch was 1130-1300ish depending on how awake/motivated my NCOIC was that day.

Ft Bragg was the gayest loving poo poo on the planet, but at least our hours were 630-745 PT, Work at 900, lunch from 1130-1300, off at 1700. Post lunch nap in the car was the best. Being on 2 hour recall for over a year sure as gently caress wasn't.

I live in Pensacola and it just means sometimes I can't go to the beach because there's an airshow and all the rednecks come out of the woodwork to oo and ahh. Due to budget cuts last year they cancelled the season and all these bumper stickers popped up saying "GROUND AIR FORCE ONE NOT ARE BLUE ANGELS". You can always tell someone is going to be a stupid rear end in a top hat by that (or any really) sticker on their car. Seeing them practice from my house is cool sometimes, except if I'm working nights and sleeping then its all WOOSH gently caress I'm awake.

Been asked to participate in a Veteran's Day legal panel helping civilian judges and lawyers understand the military to better assist veteran clients/litigants/defendants. So far my talking points include: 1. We don't all have PTSD. And those who do are not all mass shooters just waiting to snap. 2. Someone who is a broken shitbag in court was probably a broken shitbag in the military too, so please stop contributing to the "I'm broken because of my service because veterans are broken, please pity me" meme. 3. Please don't try to paint your client as a hero by mentioning their extensive military honors, to include the National Defense Service Medal...it makes you look dumb. And because I've been tapped as the "token chick" to address women's issues in the military: 4. Sure, there are sexists in the military...because there are sexists in society. Before beating the drum of the awful, misogynistic DoD, ask yourself how many pregnant women your firm has "suggested" not to return after her maternity leave. Some people are assholes. Some are not. Anything else I should add?

Basically whenever the Blue Angels come in to town they want brand new loving everything and because they're the Blue Angels we just can't tell them to gently caress off like they're squadron. So your workload almost quadruples and if you're in the Test Cell you pretty much don't get any sleep for the week they're there. They make every I-level maintainer on the base they're currently at, lives a living hell for literally no goddamn reason. Like no poo poo they'd bring in engines that have less than 100 hours on them and are like "Hey give us a new one thanks". And we can't just reissue that poo poo so we have to tear down a perfectly good engine and rebuild it. Seriously gently caress the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds forever

I'm in a veteran writing group and for whatever reason 3 reporters, separate from each other, all wanted to chase down and interview a token female vet (in their eyes) for their story; on their deadline, their terms, etc. Nobody seems to really give a poo poo about the realities of being a veteran and any associated difficulties, it's whatever combination of too complicated / depressing / confusing / real which drives people away and back towards sound bites and platitudes and AOL and fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd:DEMOCRATS GIVING VETERAN BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. For your panel, consider looking up the community resources and advising the legal-types to get familiar with them and integrate them into their subjects' "recovery". There are vet centers, non profits, Team RWB chapters, etc. that will serve nicely as a "community" for whoever needs to demonstrate their efforts to reintegrate and stop testing the legal system.
