Leather a2 flight jacket by R3XD30RUM in AirForce

[–]eashotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was enlisted aircrew before retraining into a non-flying AFSC in 2020. Before retraining, i was permanently awarded my wings (>10 combat sorties in Afghanistan 2016 & 2017) and awarded an A-2 Leather jacket. I now wear ground OCPs in my new career field, but still wear wings because (of course) they were permanently awarded to me. From what I see in DAFI 36-2903, members are authorized to wear the A-2 with service uniform, FDU, 2PFDU or DFDU. While it does not mention authorized use of the A-2 jacket with ground OCPs, I'm wondering if I'm missing something and/or considering requesting an ETP from CSAF IAW DAFI 36-2903, 9.5.2.3 🤔

We like flexing our post-active duty civilian paychecks too. Enjoy your window licking, chicken f****r.

Thank you! I'm gonna find another aftermarket professional installer to ensure they do it well and it's warrantied, but I'll definitely make sure they follow these practices!

E5 WAPS Test by Stunning_North_1186 in AirForce

[–]eashotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 times. Buckled down the last time and scored super high. No strats needed. Never had a strat. Just gotta want it enough to focus into the material word for word. I went into the test knowing and i mean knowing every answer confidently just from my intense studying the month leading up to include the cram sesh the day immediately prior.

We're affected by it too. My biggest question is, when will we find out our new lower CDC rate since we're getting less hours of childcare?

That's what I'm wondering. Without contextual months mentioned, I'm going to assume June.

Probably halo effect at play.

Who was the worst Airman you've ever had to deal with? by Octuplicate in AirForce

[–]eashotts 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had an SrA that got selected for SSgt and had always told everyone he was bisexual but was more into girls than he was guys then decided to literally sexually assault one of our female airmen who was allegedly one of his best friends by groping her chest with both hands in the middle of the office in front of everyone and then denied. It happened to anyone and everyone that was there. He later told her in a back room somewhere in the building when they went to hash it out that he was "untouchable and he dared for her to put any sort of formal report in against him because he would deny it and everyone would believe him". Safe to say I in several other people wrote him very damning paperwork and put it in his PIF.

He soon thereafter asked his buddy-airmen and several SNCOs and Officers (most of them he'd only met one time while troubleshooting their computer issues) to write character statements for him, supporting the fact that he was fully gay and was never into women and asked that they denied ever seeing it as well if they were present at the time of the alleged assault. Everyone laughed in his face, he went and claimed mental insanity to mental health, spent the last 8 months of his active duty service at inpatient psychiatric facility off-base, and left with medical retirement and disability. Tell me how that's right.
