Lol I loved that Command Post post in the last thread. Airman Sanchez? Uhh... Is the DO there? You don't have DOs any more? What about the chief of command post? It's 4 am at your station and he's not at work? Etc etc etc. and then it ends up being something they could have found out in two seconds by looking at G2 or just you know, asking me.

Especially frustrating because the console workers do 99% of the poo poo in an AMC command post at least, so even if they do speak to someone above me, it gets kicked back to me anyway except now I can't ask questions if I need more detail

Also the epic chief who came in as our new superintendent and ended our practice of letting non-smokers take 10 here and there, who was then upset and tried to end smoke breaks after everyone in the unit started taking packs of smokes to work

For a while my entire back office was composed of cross trainees, and of course the ops and the reports guy had both worked less console time than me, a brand new airman It got really old asking for help on stuff and getting an answer back that sounding suspiciously like the text from an AFI or the training materials

One of my old senior controllers used to work at Keesler. Apparently that base was so slow they only had one controller on duty, except for the sexual assault reports

I used to print out everything so that they always felt really dumb trying to storm into the office and I have proof that I emailed them. He was busy writing bullets in his cube while trying to determine which excuses he's used lately to leave early

Hamlet442 posted:I disagree and I'm just a lowly enlisted guy. LoR fucks his career and he's just starting and learning. It's likely he's just frustrated at the assignment process and is ignorant of it. He probably heard from several classmates that they had received their orders but he hadn't received his yet. He's likely convinced he turned everything in and is pissed because now he has to scramble to PCS and get all of his poo poo to whatever duty station he's going to. A talking to or "mentoring" by his leadership and a simple apology will serve to make him a better officer rather than giving him an LoR for losing his cool in an office. I have the same opinion if it were some Airman. I hold the belief that paperwork is used far too often and severely when you can just talk to them to figure out what the issue is and resolve it. Punishing him while he's already frustrated and confused with the PCS process is only going to make it worse.

Kuroyama posted:It depends on your area. I was my shop's safety supervisor, but that's for Command Post, so there weren't things like confined spaces or heavy equipment to worry about. I assume there's more to it if you are a MX or CE safety guy. My supervisor was the safety/shelter in place lackey and all she did was occasionally get me off the console to spend an hour pretending like we actually did something

What kind of work schedule are you on where you have time to significantly volunteer? Most people in the air force work regular office hours if not shorter, which just makes the semi-mandatory volunteer poo poo worse when most shift workers just don't have the schedule to do it

FWIW every non-rated, non-medical officer career field is essentially the same with maybe the exception of security forces and public affairs. You largely manage enlisted who do most or all of the work, and your job will consist mostly of signing paperwork like EPRs and sending off status reports to your group or squadron commander or whatever.

Also a LOT of base staff positions are seemingly only held by pilots, so have fun if you get a career field you hate. Supposedly it's harder for officers to switch AFSCs
