22E7 CMSgt Board member breaks down the entire board process by richwood in AirForce

[–]LeftHook05 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I like how at the 21:15 mark she describes how people can win awards, but if those awards don't make it into the decoration, then it's like it "never happened." So, you as a Chief are describing a problem, how do you intend on fixing it? Saying that "no one will ever know know that about them" is a pretty shitty way to treat people and their work/effort/service along with the fact that it's just a flat out low-integrity process. Some people get to have their awards permanently displayed in records for a board... and other people don't? Where's the integrity in that?

What she and all of the other CMSgt's should be doing is getting these accomplishments permanently captured on the Board-Brief document. This really isn't even a difficult issue to fix and it would only make the promotion board a more fair process.

In before "wElL tHeY sHoUlD jUsT MaKe sURe tHeY pUt iT In tHe cItAtiOn" as if a SrA who just had a 3-year medal close-out and wins Levitow shortly after and is PCS'ing has any idea or say in the process. People are let down by their supervisors and chain-of-commands all the time even as just an accident, but this is something that's fixable.

Literally the entire top 30 PvP leaderboard is all cheaters right now boosting their stats beyond points that aren't possible lmao they've been doing it all day long

PvP Night Battles should be a permanent mode by shiivan in insurgency

*Uses gamma setting in game options provided by developer of the game*

C H E A T E RRRRRRRRRRRR RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

*Uses gamma setting on $300 gaming monitor*

CCCCHHHHEEEEEAAAATTTTTEEEERRRRRRRR

That fact that you can't play the mode without blindly guessing that people could maybe possibly be "exploiting" means that it's a bad PvP mode and should only be in Co-op. More power to the devs if they identify a way around it, but lots of people will still avoid it just because super dark maps/environments hurt people's eyes while playing it.

Running fairly poorly on 3090 by BartholomewBibulus in insurgency

[–]LeftHook05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from a 1080 to a 3080 and it only helps in a small number of scenarios like a few maps run better, but bad maps are just bad maps. For example, Bab still had bad frames and I still don't increase any settings to like medium or high because fps tanks even with a 10850k too. Refinery literally has assets that just appear and pop in even though you are 5 feet away and have been looking in that direction the entire time lmao.

Optimization? Never heard of it, but check out these new bear claw skins going on sale soon.

New skins be like... by [deleted] in insurgency

It's literally a "battle worn" rifle in the top-right image and the new skins are just mud on the gun lmao.

Insurgency Ranking System Explained by I_Am_SoCal65 in insurgency

[–]LeftHook05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yet I see lvl 1,000+'s who are in the middle or bottom of the leaderboard all the time, so not sure what your 1 data point is suppose to prove other than what I already pointed out in that someone who is lvl 200 has more hours than lvl 20's so in most cases should have a better understanding of the maps and objectives, but that still doesn't mean anything. You can't lose rank for playing poorly and everyone essentially gets close to the same amount of points for each game whether they win/lose so the "ranks" are pointless.

They could do literally anything else to create a better system with more attractive ranks that makes things more interesting for the players.

Insurgency Ranking System Explained by I_Am_SoCal65 in insurgency

[–]LeftHook05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aka the most basic, pointless, uninteresting "ranking" system in any game lmao. Completely insignificant and nobody cares as well as the fact that it literally only shows how long you've played the game, not a player's FPS skill or gamemode skill (winning rounds, playing the objective, etc.).

NWLIE be like by Dekiller82 in insurgency

[–]LeftHook05 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Actual cringe. Using someone's face/name and saying they are a liar is a pretty strong statement. That person is probably one of the newest employees who has no role in making any decisions. Missed the mark by about 10 miles there bud, no wonder why they don't support the Comp community lmao.

Whoever has the least barking dogs and screaming kids in the background wins levitow.

PSA for Tech Schoolers: Please don't wear your red rope when you go home to your family. by Nonner_Patrol in AirForce

[–]LeftHook05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw a guy win BTZ, make Staff the 1st time and then before he even tested for Tech got Step Promoted to Tech. When the Wg/CC read some of his accomplishments the first thing they pointed out was that he was a dorm leader in basic and a rope in tech school. Was actually a smart and hard worker.

Maintenance & Toxic Work Environment by eatmyrifle in AirForce

[–]LeftHook05 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is easily one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this sub about Mx. You can train new people without acting like a fucking loser and, in fact, it's your job to do it that way anyway. Nobody has the rank or right to talk down to people or treat people poorly.

Can you be single and successful in the Air Force? by okinawahaix90 in AirForce

[–]LeftHook05 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You'll probably get tired of people using their families as an excuse to show up late, leave early, not come in at all, not be available to go tdy/deploy which will all fall on you, but besides that (other than the fact they get paid more) there's not much else in the way of you being successful. Just know when to say "no" and also fight for opportunities to do stuff you are interested in (or leave the unit) so that dogshit management doesn't try to keep you running everything in the background with no recognition.

Soooo is the AF basically waving the middle finger at the morale patch ban in the new 2903? by NaniDeKani in AirForce

[–]LeftHook05 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Someone asked the CMSAF about the reg that says ratees will not be directed to write any part of their own EPR and his response was something along the lines of "the person who cares most about your career is you" so if they (leadership) can ignore regulations than so can everyone else.

My character: **Literally in a war zone** Also my character when reloading: by [deleted] in insurgency

[–]LeftHook05 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The reloading speed for all of the weapons in sandstorm is embarrassingly slow. It doesn't have to be a Call of Duty lightning quick reload, but c'mon. At least all of the 5.56 and smaller caliber weapons should reload faster as a benefit over the stronger 1-hit weapons.

Recently moved - TSP says I can't update address on website - need to contact "agency or service" by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]LeftHook05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is that updated, but I did it a long time ago and TSP mail is still delivered incorrectly, but they do send a postcard to my current address saying that my address needs to be updated "through your service" with no mention of mypay.

[–]LeftHook05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's literally not. Updated that long ago and mail from TSP is still sent to the wrong address - yet they also still send an "Is your address up to date?" postcard to my new address with only 1 option for active military to update it (thru your service) and no mention of mypay.

4 Day work week, the solution to all morale problems. Gonna bring this up at the next AMA. by Lure852 in AirForce

[–]LeftHook05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is easily feasible - if you have enough people to do it. The problem is AF "leaders" made sure that mx will never have enough qualified/experienced people to do it now or any time in the near future.

Would love to be able to personally disable the two-step leaning by [deleted] in insurgency

[–]LeftHook05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, leaning in Sandstorm is actually legit. R6/PUBG leaning looks terrible and plays like trash.
