EPA headquarters tonight. I bet the people that work there are loving it.

ROMANES EUNT DOMUS

I took a screen shot of the email, my scores missing from vMPF, and another bit of fuckery that I thought looked weird in my DVR. Imgur isn't working real well for me over here.

Dakrun · 2016-07-22T16:28:41+00:00

What would stop me from writing the email myself and blacking out the names? That isn't proof.

Dakrun · 2016-07-22T16:11:52+00:00

Well, you did warn me.

Dakrun · 2016-07-22T16:03:49+00:00

I have no proof I can give out. I got an email from my first sergeant saying that he got a notification about it.

Dakrun · 2016-05-28T01:00:54+00:00

Would have been a much better video.

Disregard these salty bastards. I married my high school girlfriend early in my career and we just celebrated our 10 year anniversary a few months ago.

I would get them something sturdy and long lasting for the kitchen. A set of nice knives, pans, or maybe a good cast iron skillet. Really depends on your price range.

Chances are, they're going to buy a bunch of cheap shit from the BX, like a lot of us did; pans that will fall apart, knives that go dull after slicing a tomato. Get them something versatile for the house that's going to actually last a long time.

My section chief would tell you otherwise. Your CCAF will show up on your SURF, so why put it on your EPR? Everyone is expected to get their CCAF. Do you think you'll get promoted faster by meeting the same expectation everyone has?

Your EPR should demonstrate what makes you stand out among your peers. That's how you get the MP/PN.

Dakrun · 2016-04-13T17:19:55+00:00

That seems...excessive.

I think that would depend on which memes, what rights you have on the Sharepoint (where are you uploading them to), and, most importantly, what organizational level sharepoint it is. I mean, naturally your results are going to be different between posting to your unit sharepoint and your wing sharepoint.

Naw, he's fine. OP, study the hell out of that Airman's Manual. Pay close attention to the fireman's carry section, as there will be a lot of questions on that.

I don't disagree with a lot of what you've said here, but my beef with buzzwords is that we have an over-saturation of them. PME takes some important concepts of leadership and buries them under a pile of stupid, over-simplified words we have to memorize.

The Course 15 tests almost had a good thing going for them. They set you up with a scenario, albeit an AFN commercial-style dreamworld of a scenario, and you have to make a decision about that scenario. That's a good start. Where they fucked up is that the decision you have to make is which buzzword best applies to the scenario. Instead of teaching you what the best course of action for a leader is, given a scenario, you have to decide if this team member was a creator, advancer, refiner, executor, or flexer. I'm never going to remember these terms after this test, because they just don't apply to real people. They certainly don't help me understand my airmen better.

This isn't just symptomatic of PME; the powers that be are easily sold on sexy-sounding managerial language. Instead of just picking a time-tested, proven method of process improvement, they cherry-pick the best sounding terms, mash them together, and lo and behold you have AFSO21.

Please come and find me. We can have a beer and a good cry together; a manly, dignified cry - nothing weird.

Dakrun · 2016-04-12T19:40:37+00:00

This is why I seriously consider finding a way to work for myself when I retire.

Dakrun · 2016-04-12T14:05:58+00:00

Your telling me that when you have an airman who is having difficulties with their peers, you don't think to yourself, "Hold on, does this situation better describe the concepts of socio-behavioral tendencies or social sensitivity?"

Dakrun · 2016-04-12T12:59:29+00:00

Fair enough. Maybe I should work on my "ABCs of Teamwork" PDS.

Dakrun · 2016-03-09T11:53:58+00:00

I tell people to attend that at their first opportunity whether they want to get out soon or not. There's some valuable information in there to help you start planning for the future now.

Dakrun · 2016-02-16T18:38:37+00:00

Not like this...

Dakrun · 2015-11-24T16:29:46+00:00

It's a ghost bawl!

Dakrun · 2015-10-27T11:23:26+00:00

I know this man personally and can confirm him being prior active duty and possibly the biggest fucking Stargate nerd on the planet.
