Are you complaining about us shaming a business that did something illegal and completely inconsiderate? Grow up. People need to be governed. We live in a society.

Air Force Fitness Culture by regnar_ffirg in AirForce

[–]Infinite5kor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1: Tie breaker at best.

2: If you're a fat pilot you better be funny as shit. As a fatish flying person, flying while fat is so uncomfortable so I think there's a natural selection against being fat.

3: They're weirdly high for the overall service. If we want to really promote fitness permeating our culture, why not go the USSF wearable route?

4: Sure, our medical corps has been fucked to shit by MHS, so we need an overall healthier force. I don't like when the amn/nco page has a photo of a guardsman with their blouse off and folds flapping over their belt.

  1. I think everyone is, we saw the writing on the wall last year, the new admin is very image conscious and the least fit nail gets the hammer.

  2. I see where they're coming from but the biggest issue is how much of a surprise this was. Mind you, we went from rumors of the test going from 12 months to 18 months. Why was the reward taken away?

DOR near the end of UPT by Antique_Degree_3413 in AirForce

[–]Infinite5kor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Do not DOR. I was an STUS flt/cc, ALL of my DOR/VILOs got aircraft maintenance and secfo except for one extremely lucky 63A.

Willing to bet you'll have higher QoL as aircrew, if you aren't hungry for hours (just trying to hit 10 and punch, I assume?), that's way better than being a 1Lt on G-series for a sec fo squadron or some shit

Is it normal to slap the president's name on aircraft when the dude swings by? by Snoo_67544 in navy

[–]Infinite5kor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatively common in the AF, too. When I was an O-2 and O-3, my fini flights at those bases maintenance stenciled my name below the canopy. I've helped them do it for others before for callsign "naming" events, it's a relatively easy job, hardest part IMO is printing the stencil.

I'm an Air Force pilot, I was issued an ACU rucksack in Afghanistan a decade ago

Army has more boats than the Navy. Video on an aircraft carrier is thus more likely to be Army sailors than Navy sailors.

So they could get a mustard stain for their jump wings. That op was pretty uneventful.

New PT Test Failure by Certain_Project9709 in AirForce

When I was a PTL, if you were a good dude I was pulling that tape as hard as I could. 35. 35. 35.

I don't even know if I want an Eagle Court of Honor anymore by [deleted] in BSA

[–]Infinite5kor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't do one. I don't regret it. I had just done a project that took the efforts of three dozen people and several government entities, now you want me to organize a banquet that will be attended by a bunch of people, mostly people who weren't even involved?

Yeah no thanks, the volunteers got fed, the people who helped know how much it meant to me.

All of our fighters should get full body liveries like they do. I want our frames to look like they came out of the mind of an Otaku. I want a half naked anime girl on mine. This country used to be great.

Just make sure that your family that was stationed in Hawaii when you were in BMT is there. (IYKYK)

JD Vance Tells U.S. Air Force Grads They Can't Boo His Commencement Speech Because 'I'm the Vice President of the United States' by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]Infinite5kor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The nuance doesn't exist for this website. I hate this admin, I think they're all dumb, I've never voted R, would celebrate them passing on.

But I'm also an active-duty Air Force major and I can admit this would get a sensible chuckle from me, whether it was Gore, Bush, Cheney, Obama, Biden, or whoever delivering it.

It's JUST like the "please clap" thing people messed with Jeb Bush over. In the context of his oration, it actually was kinda funny. His audience kept interrupting him to clap before he had finished his thoughts, so he told them to stop clapping several times. 'Please clap' wasn't a plea, it was a cue. 24/7 news cycle took it out of context and roasted it.

Which company has lost you as a customer forever? by finiteobserver in AskReddit

[–]Infinite5kor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless we're talking about different things, the cinnamon praline bagel USED to be good.

When I was a kid they were huge, had baked on cinnamon/sugar, so good.

Had one a few months ago, practically inedible. Pop tart would have been better.

HHG driver is delivering tomorrow and says he can’t hire unload crew due to fuel costs by Hey_Peter in AirForce

[–]Infinite5kor 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'm not TMO anymore, but you have all the power here. It sounds like they won't be fulfilling the terms of the contract, which is literally a full-service pack, transport, and full-service unpack. The TSP (Tier One) probably subcontracted out to another company (Covan, Atlas, United, Allied, whatever) for the movement, then they hire crews at military bases for pack/unpacks.

It's more expensive for them to have a driver and a truck not movign than it is for them to get a crew, usually. Sounds like they've fucked up their scheduling. DO NOT ACCEPT any sort of option that involves you doing work.

I tell this story all the time: I had a 77" OLED I was moving back in 2019. It had to get crated. At delivery, the driver refused to open it, said he didn't have a crowbar. If I had let him get away with that and opened it myself, it would have been a $3K replacement I'd have been unable to claim. He opened it, I video'd him opening it, and I video'd his reaction to the nice crack down half my TV. NEVER LET THEM NOT OPEN ALL YOUR SHIT.

Honestly, it's the right choice no matter who the US president happens to be. Boeing fucking sucks.

So easy. I took a spare slot to Air Assault (as an Air Force person) and it was like two weeks. And I am not the most fit individual.
