It was either an AF or the idiot thread where someone said they walked in on some guy recommending an anime about a guy who climbs into women's wombs or something like that. And he was completely oblivious to the fact that everyone was disgusting by his choice of topic.

That was my post!

I'd actually forgotten all about that airman.

I met some special people in comm, but that dude was in a league of his own. We called him Oedipus after that, but I don't think he ever realized why.

Edit: and to add horrible context, it wasn't merely about climbing into a womb, it was about climbing into your own *mother's* womb.

I knew a supervisor that drew his female troop as an anime super hero. He showed it to her during a counseling session.

What was her super power? Seduction of course.

One of the U.S. military’s largest private-industry landlords falsified maintenance records, Reuters found, helping it secure incentive fees as families awaited repairs. The company’s actions, a former employee said, were akin to “bank robbery at a corporate level.”

On my first day as a slicksleeve maintainer included watching my supervisor unwrap Magic cards and file them into sleeve pages in a binder, this guy gave me a 3/5 on my first ever EPR. His reasoning was him being "tuff but fair".

Needless to say he is now getting kicked out. He also thought it was then a good idea to go on some podcast thing and to try to defend himself.

He was a comm troop who had few social skills and was a programmer before joining the military. He apparently was also the most interesting man alive because before he joined up he worked for some start up in Hawaii and got kidnapped by local thugs who took him out to the boonies and threatened to kill him when the start up failed and the owner ran off with the money he had borrowed. My guy also almost burned his house down trying to create napalm in his kitchen while in Hawaii. He also experimented on himself while he was my troop by trying out various things like eating raw chicken because “it saved time” among other things. I have other stories but I just literally can’t rn.

Yeah he just got to Osan in December/January. We knew he was weird but not like, rape game creator weird.

That's why it's OK to write your own OPR/EPR. Why would anyone else know what the gently caress you were doing?

One of my TSgts hosed off on PTDY/Terminal and I'm now being told we need his EPR written for a dude who's gone and retiring. I'm putting one line in each area saying things like "He's a pretty cool guy, really funny, keeps bees as a hobby" and can't wait to see how leadership rips it apart.

Supposedly the new CC came from commanding a school house somewhere. So far it doesn't seem like things will be streamlined at all. It's fine, I'll still be here when she PCSes. Korea 5ever.

Good move. Life cycle of an Air Force drawer:

2019: Drawer is locked, key is lost
2020: Replacement is finally sourced by AFPC, finds desk locked, shrugs shoulders and avoids using that drawer
2024: Someone finally decides to do a deep clean of the squadron. Cleans out regulations dating back to 2005 in other drawers, but is stymied by the locked drawer and ignores it
2028: Furniture is replaced with new furniture that somehow looks exactly the same, A1C tasked to replace furniture doesn't even bother with locked drawer and throws it in the pile. Furniture is presumably put in a landfill, burned, or shot into space. PII is safe.

ngl finding an EPR for the guy I replaced at my first assignment (a 2 rating back when Firewall Fives were the norm) really gave me an idea of what I needed to avoid if I wanted to succeed as an A1C.

My first epr was a 3, which i didnt think was a big deal until the commander pulled me and my fresh from ALS super into his office to give me the DUI talk. He was really confused when my boss explained that since I was new to the unit I still needed to "find my place and a 3 is a good starting point for improvement". That super lasted another 2 years and then got kicked out for having everything repo'd and never paying his child support. That 3 held me back on crosstraining and awards until the last year of my active time... Lol

I'm gonna start buying dildos and leaving them in unlocked drawers of empty desks every time I PCS. Just planting seeds.

We failed a passport inspection not long before I got here because we didn't have a locked cabinet for the documents. We were told in no uncertain terms that another fail means we would lose our passport site, which is obviously a Bad Thing at a mobility base. The squadron pays for a brand new cabinet with two keys. Keyholder 1 goes on leave, keyholder 2 goes TDY, deployers come through who need to pick their passports up ASAP. Captain tells the NCOIC "get the thing open and get them their passports so they can go on their mission", expecting them to call keyholder #1 who is on leave in the local area. Comes back an hour later to find they'd taken a hammer to the cabinet and busted it open, and she had to go back to the notoriously petty and toxic commander for funds to buy another one.

I’ve never heard of anyone taking a key with them that actually went to anything that actually got used the any of the hospitals I worked in. They were always placed front and center of the top lift drawer of a desk usually within a few feet of whatever they open. When I went through my second round of Field Craft (formerly CAST) I got made platoon lead or whatever the gently caress they called it (sucked so bad at it because I cared so little since I was there on an extension that like no one applauded when I got my cert) I got a master key to everyone’s room. Why they felt giving this to some random mid twenties bumblefuck SSgt was a good idea was beyond me but whatever. Anyway last time I went through we were the last class to have the short weekend off so now with an extended liberty a few guys and myself decided to take the train to NYC. Literally as the Uber drops us off at the station I get a call that someone has locked themselves out of their room and they heard I had a master key. I had already forgotten I had this thing on me so after a couple of seconds of silence I finally figure out what’s going on and just tell them I’m on a train heading to NYC and that I can’t help them. Never came up again.

Let’s talk about passports after this chemistry class.

TIL the E-3 was almost ordered in an 8x TF-34 configuration; that's the engine used by the A-10. I'm really baffled by this notion, because the 707 airframe was already selected. If TF-34 development hadn't been such a headache, we might've actually seen a flyoff.

Isn’t the E-3 already a bit under powered as it is? I know JSTARS was woefully underpowered, and I thought I had read somewhere on the Internet that the E-3 was too. My E-3 knowledge is sparse to be honest. I sat in on some Mission Employment debriefings and Red Flag debriefings that convinced me I wanted nothing to do with the E-3. Seems like the poor loving ABM’s just get completely poo poo on by the pointy nose plane drivers anytime anything wasn’t exactly perfect. And you guys really seemed to love eating your own. Could be wrong but that was my perception at the time.
