I'm the guy nodding off in the second row and feeling mildly bad but not bad enough to give a gently caress.

Finally got the point I'd bring candy with me because otherwise I'd just nod off as some jackass, who never learned how to properly use powerpoint, read each slide word for word and then sat there for 5 minutes before clicking to the next slide.

Isn't someone supposed to make coffee? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Edit: We had a guy in ABM school who had a habit of falling asleep during CC calls, mass briefs, whatever. Full up snoring and everything. He was a prior Army O-3 who joined the ANG, so they let it ride with some weak efforts to tell him to knock it off. After he flunked out of the school and got sent back to his unit to be retrained into PA or something, rumor mill said he got canned after doing it to his own commander. ANG disappears from his linkedin profile about that time, too.

Well, I'm going back into the reserves. The power of being able to tell airline schedulers to gently caress off and drop orders on their rear end last minute when they schedule me for something I don't like was simply too enticing. Tricare discount will be nice too, I was paying like $500/mo for company coverage. The only part that sucks is I'll have to deploy sometime late next year for 2 months, but I've always wanted to live out my desert part timer revenge fantasy of truly giving zero fucks. Working a job where you don't care if you get fired will be fun.

There's a rumor that the OCP might be a stateside authorized uniform sometime around the end og the year. That would be nice.

CMSAF came by here like 6 months ago talking about that. Apparently they're waiting for AFFES to burn through their giant mountain of blind people craft backlog before switching.

One of our dudes wrote an OPR with the first letters of each bullet spelling LEGEND vertically. It made it through and wasn't revealed until the next callsign night. The commander just facepalmed.

It's more that ACUs are just better. AFPSC command chief told us that if we had a serviceable set of ABUs to not bother getting new ones, and that we'd probably be swapping the morale shirts for unit patches.

Cenen posted:Incase you are wondering how things are going down at the Deid: LMAO. I remember when I was at the Deid, they closed the bathroom on the corner by the gate due to black mold and cut the power. But the Marines and fliers kept using it anyways to avoid walking just a little further to another bathroom, so the entire place started to leak more. Then the toilets broke in the condemned bathroom, so people starting making GBS threads/pissing in the showers. There was a clean and usable bathroom less than a minute away.

I've got four more years to stretch out this pair of ABUs till I retire. I won't be deploying from Korea and I plan to retire out here, so welp, guess I'll be that guy who wore his BDUs till the last day. Edit: At least they'll be Arctic White for Chosin Reservoir II

Uhhh...I know you have a hard-on for PT tests and playing soldier, but we're not even combatants, much less hardcore operators. I actually had to explain Geneva conventions categories to my deputy commander once. In Kandahar. During a ground attack. In which he wanted me to man a weapon for which I had no training on the grounds that the AF had issued me an M9 to wear when I walked from my bunk to the hospital. I told him I'd stand in the line of fire if he really wanted me to--I'm not a coward--but I wasn't firing a weapon in anger, and he could explain why the only doc on the compound wasn't available to see casualties. Got an apology email from the OG the next day.

That deputy commander sounds a like classic "Captain America" type a la Generation Kill. I re-watched that series a few days ago and it still holds up.

Got my letter saying that I'm qualified for reserve retirement pay, and I've seven months left on my current enlistment. Time to shift to IRR and ride the couch till spliff time! Best part is the wife going, "well, why don't you just do twenty-five years?"

It's because AF Inns are managed by contractors, and you get shithead base commanders decreeing that people WILL use on-base lodging even if it's not technically required. Can't remember which pilot training base that was.

I’ve stayed in too many garbage AF Inns with zero internet connectivity and extremely dated and disgusting furnishing. Why should I have to stay in some loving roach motel when all the ones off base offer the gov’t rate anyway? It costs the feds more to maintain those loving shacks than it does to pay for a night at the Marriot.
