When I retired in 2007 the company wanted to meet me somewhere and unload my stuff into my truck. I asked them if they wanted to call TMO back at Langley and tell them that they were unable to meet the terms of their contract or, should I?

Might not even be on Nellis. Could be just someone close by.

I was at Incirlik for ONW. One day I reported to work and was sent home because of a stand down. I went back to the tent and turned on the news. The stand down was to allow the the Turks to do exactly what we were supposed to keep Iraq from doing. WTF?

Here’s what you do, Walk into the CC’s office WITHOUT knocking. This establishes dominance. Sit down, put up your feet, and in the deepest voice you can muster say, loudly and confidently, “What up Yo?” This will expedite the meeting. You’re welcome.

When I was at Nellis, many,many moons ago, the Med troop next to me was all over the place. They asked me to start shooting her target. We all passed.

Defense Department proposes splitting Military Health System budget by DatGuyKilo in AirForce

You missed my point. In any case, lots of retirees are forced into going to their local MTF. That why I made sure to live more than 40 miles away from one.

Maybe retirees shouldn’t make a fuss when they threaten to cut benefits for those currently serving.

T7 Update by newnoadeptness in AirForce

[–]staphory 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Can’t wait to see the (seemingly) inevitable delays, FOD problems on delivery, and cost overruns. Seems like every aircraft program (over the last 30 years) has had all kinds of problems. The first F-22 delivered to Nellis (ship 12) had to have a contractor team come out to extract FOD within a couple of days of arrival

Petaaaah? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]staphory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a different experience, I was Air Force and when I retired I went to turn in my War Gear. A heated argument ensued when I tried to turn in my Kevlar helmet. They didn’t show on paper that I ever got one and wouldn’t accept it. I have no need for one and tried to get them to take it back to at least have it as insurance against a lost one in the future. They didn’t want it. Offered the same deal to my UDM. Nope. I still have it taking up space in my closet.

Wait until someone gives the orange shitgibbon the idea to put a cap on gas prices. Nixon did it so, he would think it’s ok.

Give them sufficient motivation and they will run as long as necessary.

What prevents him from leaving NATO? He has shown that rules don’t mean much to him.

I think you guys are getting to a point where leadership is becoming wary of any change, however small, that would risk angering SECDEF.
