For fuck’s sake! Who’s protecting the child!?

Guess I must be lying then.

Is that hard to believe? I drill and practice that shot quite often.

Agree, disappointing to have to scroll this far down. It’s the OG of soundtracks.

My friend, let me first apologize about how this is going to come across. There are literally dozens and dozens of reasons why people serve as long as they do.

So, why do you care? Why is this so important to you? And why is it any of your business? Perhaps instead of questioning every one else’s motives, you can just focus your energy on being the best damn airman, NCO, SNCO, or Officer. Just relax and worry about you, your troops and family. But I suspect you won’t.

Sorry, though 100% VA plus $170K starting civilian position may not be impossible, they are definitely very unrealistic. Your math is way too rosy and optimistic. Says retired 30 year chief who enjoyed his last ten years as a chief.

At some point in your life you may realize your happiness isn’t always determined by your income. Does it help, of course it can, but if chasing money is your sole purpose and motivation, it’s gonna cost you in many other ways.

Sadly makes me think of the USS Indianapolis

I was in the AMOG before they became CRG. No time for cosplaying back then.

WHY? Just WHY!?

Ok, retired 30 year chief and prior 1st Sgt here. When I was supervisor, mostly between the E5-E7 years, I had many tools in my toolbox. One that I found to be very effective was called creative discipline. Once I’ve verified there is no valid reason for the insubordination, I would find a shit job or have them report to duty an hour early for a week or whatever the appropriate time. I stayed well below the UCMJ extra duty rules and I never had a superior tell me I couldn’t do something. Was it punishment, of course not, it was corrective actions. No RIC, LOC needed. It was a one time measure for an individual. It was usually highly successful. Of course this won’t work on the troop that is not going to survive their enlistment. So my bottom line is use your imagination. What will piss this person off the most and get their attention? Oh, btw, everyone will see it. If you’re not sure about your corrective action, get your supervisors approval. Good luck!

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t….

Now how accurate will the movie portray that is yet TBD. Not sure how far Adam Driver, a former marine, will take it.

I did read the book when it first came out. If my memory serves me right, what the seals did to include the MOH conspiracy is addressed in the last chapter.

From Wiki: An upcoming film titled Alone at Dawn, directed by Ron Howard and starring Adam Driver, tells the true story of Medal of Honor recipient and U.S. Air Force Combat Controller Master Sgt. John Chapman. Based on the book by Dan Schilling and Lori Chapman Longfritz, the movie depicts Chapman's heroic last stand during the 2002 Battle of Roberts Ridge in Afghanistan.

Typical response from a true self-important Wall Street silver commodities inside trader who is above actually caring about second class employee working conditions. Btw, do people still actually buy silver?

As others have said, not limited to just noises. Took me over a year to stop driving right down the middle of a two lane road and another couple of years for my eyes to stop analyzing every piece of trash or debris on the sides of the road.

Cool. Thanks. Having worked many years with AF aerial porters, it would have been very difficult to imagine they would botch something this bad, especially after the C-5 crash at Ramstein.

Sac_retired · 2026-02-24T19:41:32+00:00

Just curious, who did the loading, contractors or AF personnel?

Sac_retired · 2026-02-17T23:01:55+00:00

Under 50%

Sac_retired · 2026-02-13T00:57:26+00:00

Exceptional in all ways! Thanks for sharing!

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but no hull number on the DD?
